Interesting Deck - Moja Jojo

At Shonen Jump Columbus, John Thomas played a Moja-Beast deck featuring the Raging Battle TCG Exclusives Moja, King of the Beasts, and Beast Striker. It used combo cards such as Creature Swap, Kinka-Byo, and Rescue Cat to efficiently maintain field presence. Here's the build he ran:

3x Moja
3x King of the Beasts
3x Beast Striker
3x X-Saber Airbellum
2x Giant Rat
2x Kinka-byo
1x Gorz, the Emissary of Darkness
1x Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter
1x Rescue Cat
1x Sangan
1x Morphing Jar
1x Card Trooper

3x Creature Swap
2x Pot of Avarice
2x Foolish Burial
1x Heavy Storm
1x Mystical Space Typhoon
1x Brain Control
1x Mind Control
1x Book of Moon
1x Lightning Vortex

2x Bottomless Trap Hole
1x Solemn Judgment
1x Trap Dustshoot
1x Call of the Haunted
1x Mirror Force
1x Torrential Tribute

This is definitely an original deck, and it reminds me a lot of Synchro Cat, except instead of spamming Synchros, Moja Jojo spams King of the Beasts. I think that in the hands of a good player, this deck could cause some serious damage. I have a couple preference changes I'm going to make, but Thomas' build is near perfect in my opinion.

-1 King of the Beasts

This is a great card, and it's the core of the deck, but there is no need for three with the ease this deck can search it out.

-1 Kinka-Byo

While an important strategy card, Kinka-Byo can be dead early game, and dead if you draw more than one. With the speed the deck should be thinning, two just isn't needed.

-1 Card Trooper

Another great card, but I can think of a better one that fits the theme a little more.

-1 Book of Moon

Eh, it's kinda random at one, and there's no reason to run two or three of these, so it gets cut for room.

-1 Trap Dustshoot

Preference call, but I'd rather be at 40 cards than have this.

+1 Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter

Accomplishes the same thing as Card Trooper, but better.

+2 Yellow Baboon, Archer of the Forest

Since an errata ruined his older brother, this SOVR Ultra can take its place and allow for another solid beater when your beasts get killed.

That slims the deck down to 40 cards, which I find important, and allows me to play with Yellow Baboon, who I've been dieing to use.
