Yugioh PbP Exhibition: Shades of Gray vs Shadow Elf (Absoruto Powah Forsu!)

[Shades of Gray]

A young man with a shiny new dueldisk enters the arena, but his cards have seen better days. He's also wearing a lot of concealing clothing, but his hair, hands, and part of his face are visible.

Three figures descend from a cat-shaped hair balloon and land dramatically. One is a woman with gravity-defying red hair, the second a man with purple-blue hair, and the third an anthropomorphic cat.

Prepare for trouble!
Make it double!
To protect the world from devastation!
To unite all peoples within our nation!
To denounce the evils of truth and love!
To extend our reach to the stars above!
Jessie!
James!
Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!
Surrender now, or prepare to fight!
Meowth! That's right!

"Kch. I remove from play Night's End Sorcerer as the cost. I then discard Gravekeeper's Commandant, letting me add Necrovalley to my hand. I summon Gravekeeper's Assailant, and play Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your... Hmm... Second Facedown. Kch. I then place a facedown of my own."

After all of this the man finally declares an attack.

"My Gravekeeper's Assailant attacks Chick the Yellow. Kch. End Turn."

Meeouch! screeches Meowth as Chick the Yellow is destroyed. You destroyed our Mirror Force, our best line of defense... we'll draw now. The contraption lowers to the cat, who draws their next card.

Draw: [roll0]

The contraption moves to James. All we can do is set a monster and hope for the best. he says. The boy notices the woman has been unusually quiet.

Meeouch! screeches Meowth again. Things never go our way!

Draw: [roll0]

Oh, just forget it! shouts Jesse. We know what's coming, so we'll just do it ourselves. A bomb drops out of their blimp, and they are sent shooting off into the sky, until they are but a twinkle in the distance. Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again! they shout as they becomes invisible on the horizon.

((So, any ideas for this deck? I think I might run a few copies of Allure of Darkness for some more draw power, and perhaps Tryce so my Scorpions' effects can go off more often, but I do not know what to drop to make more room.))

Definitely add more monsters. You are running 13 monsters in a beatdown deck, with no draw power and a few searchers. Cut down on the Mage Power/United We Stand and focus on more ways of actually getting your Scorpions on the field.
