My Adjustments

Now, that I have added the links to the cards, here are my suggested Adjustments and reasons for them.

Your deck, basically gets monsters to the field as quickly as possible, and then turns into a straight up Beatstick Deck. No attacks lower then 1900. You obviously need some defense cards to help you out as putting your monsters in defense position is not a good idea with your field magic cards.

Here you go:

Remove Vengeful Bog Spirit as it hurts you as well, maybe replace with a Spell Card that does burn damage, ie Mirage Tube or a spell card that reborns monsters ie Monster Reincarnation.

Remove both Two-Man Cell Battle as that helps out your opponents as well. Replace with another Gaia Power and Field Barrier, I know that helps out your opponent as well but your lowest attack with that card in play is 2400. You are more then likely going to beat the pants off any Earth Monsters your opponent plays.

Remove both Damage Condenser as they are going to cost you to much, not to mention the lowest attack you have is 1900 therefore you have to take at least 1900 life points to special summon any of your monsters. Replace those with an Ordeal of a Traveler Can't destroy you if they don't have any monsters on the field to attack you with. Replace the other one with a Negate Attack or a Scrap-Iron Scarecrow for the same reasons, Negate Attack ends your opponents battle phase, and Scrap-Iron Scarecrow can be reset. Use those to protect your Ritual Monsters. You might also consider replacing some cards that I mentioned with a card to destroy Spell or Trap cards. A Lightning Vortex will hurt you dearly. For example a Twister or a Dust Tornado can be used in place of some of the other modifications.

Other then that, you have an awesome deck, I would rate it a 8 out of 10 as I don't like the Beatstick Mentality Strategy. Hope that helps you out.

Thanks for the tips!

That's really good :) I didn't think about Two-Man Cell Battle helping my opponent out too much, cuz I figured my beatsticks would just run over anything they summoned.

Perhaps replacing it with Double Summon or more Chain Summoning's would do better?
