ok well this a deck i havent used in a while. their is a few problems with this deck. some people told me to take out last resort so i did, and i cant get rainbow ruins out fast enough, or at all, but idono if i should put it back in. also this deck has alot of trouble against gladiator beasts, and six sams. also sometimes it's hard to draw monsters sometimes. usually 1 out of 6 duels i'll get nothing but magic and traps, or i'll just draw ruby. i want to keep the theme of rainbow Dragon and Hamon Swarming. i tried keeping the traps to a minimum due to where i duel even in glad decks jinzo is used. btw dont ask about the 4th rainbow in my side deck. it's got sentimental value and it's a good luck charm.

Monsters:
Rainbow Dragon x3 {ones a ghost rare oh yea}
Hamon x1
Sapphire Pegasus x3
Amber Mammoth x3
Topaz Tiger x3
Cobalt Eagle x2
Amethyst Cat x2

well i use to run a crystal beast deck too (now its a rainbow neos) and i can tell you that its a tad bit slow so im going to suggest

+2 crystal tree
+2 rare value

- all the crystal release (side deck 1 or 2)
- mage power

+ 1 morphing jar (this helps a lot)
+ 2 rescue cat
+ 1 crystal cat
+ 1 dekochi
+ 1 card trooper (if u can get 1 bcuz there not that hard to get anymore like they use to)

- 2 mammoth
- 1 topaz tiger
- 2 crystal turtle
- 1 eagle
- 1 marshmallon (no need becuz u will be killing them within 2 to 3 turns)

thats mainly all i can help with i would suggest after tweaking the deck that u try to get your deck down to 40 so u can draw what u need and speed through it fast. the main key though is to abuse abundance and rainbow ruins to the fullest. when i get a chance after i think of more possible ways i will post more suggestions but hopefully this helps alittle

well it's hard for me to get rare values, i bought 3 Force Box's and only got 1 ultimate rare value, and i only have 1 more crystal tree. i dont really see the use of rescue cat, unless you promise the amethyst cat at the end. but it seams that your working harnising the power of the weaker beasts. and i tried using card trooper, i allways milled my rainbow dragons and rainbow gravity. but the deck your suggesting seams to have alot of flaws, like if it's not set up in the right way the stratagy will fall appart. it's good in theory. i'd like to see what else you have to come up with

well simply put ill tell u how it works and u can see if it corresponds with your own play style bcuz every1 has there own play style. mine is fast and rushy. but ill explain a scenario

say for example i play crystal tree than rescue cat to get 2 cystal cats. at the end of the turn i have 2 back row magics and 2 counters for crystal tree. next turn send the crystal tree away for 2 more back row magics. this combos good with abundance and rainbow ruins because. after all was said and done i have 4 continuous magics able to be used for rainbow ruins to negate magics and traps and to also draw another card, and targets for rare value and crystal abundance. to me, the main purpose of the crystal beast isn't about using the effects of all the monsters, because half of them aren't meant to be used but they all are pieces needed to clear a opponents field (such as abundance) and obtaining 7 of them to get rainbow dragon out

but as u said your deck is about swarming and to do so, u must find ways to swarm without costing yourself your hole hand. u must think of ways of getting + 2 cards for 1 card such as rescue cat, sapphire pegasus, and abundance (u know what i mean) but im not trying to harnising the power of the lower level, im simply raising the number of the monsters so i can abuse the means of crystal tree and rare value so i can use abundance and curbuncle (the last effect of rainbow ruins) so i can swarm the field and at the same time try to generate field advantage (with rainbow ruins and clearing the field with abundance) so i can attack without having anything stop me and also being able to be one step closer to bringing out the trump card ( rainbow dragon). the only thing i can think of now is to have something to clear your opponents field of monsters if something stops u from using abundance like lightning vortex or snipe hunter and that mainly it.

hmm...really intiresting. good card would be ultimate offering, chaos burst and blast by a trib with that deck type. but even though the deck type is a turbo with card trooper, and is 50 cards should i put in a last resort or 2 incase i cant get raindbow ruins fast enough.

the combo's for it are well planed out. if i can make it into a 40 card deck, i'll impliment it

yeah 1 last resort but in this format, DAD, monarchs, and G beasts are using effects to blow up things on the field so u can't rely on them attacking so my super suggestion would be to use terraforming to get the field card put once you get it down to 40 you'll draw your rainbow ruins really fast because you will be thining out the deck with pegasus, crystal tree and etc. and the field card will come fast to you. but other than that u should be good i nice card i like you play with is the bottomless trap hole that can be your tech card to stoping irratating cards such as DAD and other monarchs. but good luck dude and hopefully this helps a little.
