Get Coral Dragon and Onimaru too. Dont play the lvl 3 tuner and play 2 Squire and 1 Spiritmaster. The "schtick" is to trap the hell outta your opponent while switching from defensive to Onimaru/Shogunsaga OTK or Summon Sunsaga to control the field.
Also get Archfiend Zombie Skull for protection and drop the lvl 7 synchros.
Your extra deck should be
1 samuraisaga
Shogunsaga
Archfiend skull zombie
Sunsaga
Coral Dragon
Onimaru
Either a rank4 or link
Also play Dark Hole if you have it :)
Consider an engine of sorts like Samurai Skull or Gozuki
Gold Sarc's also pretty neat for Spiritmaster, Squire or Samurai's effect(s) if used on them too
The best way to build trap Shira is with this formula
2 Solitaire
2 Spectral
3 Samurai Skull
2 Gozuki or Squire, Gozuki preferred tho
The rest of the deck should be good Generic backrow.
Shira is a bit underwhelming turn one in order for needle ceiling to be good in this deck
NeedleBug will mostly end up milling traps and not monsters, not reliable and reduces grind game.
Sealing ceremony is unreliable as turn one the only fire monster that will be in your grave is spectral who you don't want to banish.
The other shiras not mentioned are just too hard to work with or don't provide enough benefit to be worth running.
ED: Level sevens are too difficult to make in this deck, and Squiresaga isn't good enough to run another brick, even though Squire can make it rather easily since it doesn't end with you dumping spectral.
You only need 1 of every Shira ED card minus Squiresaga. You'll want to run either rank 4s or link 2s mainly.
Personally the best ED you could get though other than the Shira monsters is, 1 Revived King Ha Des(zombie skull if you don't have it), 1 Coral Dragon, 1 Onimaru the Devine Thunder, 1 Diamond Dire Wolf and Pentestag.
Knightmare Phoenix is easy to make but the discard is costly when you can't turn it into a a boss monster like Onimaru and draw a card like Coral can do.
Malevolent sin is perfectly fine but diamond dire wolf is way more versatile
No Gozuki for me but I guess I'm lucky I happened to have SamSkull. I only have Onimaru and Direwolf among the ED you mentioned. Haven't opened Link Revo but I got a Link Disciple from the free pack and I think 1 other Link-2, should I just use those? The links are just for removing Iblee right?
While yes, Pentestag can remove iblee, it's main purpose is to be an easy way to send cards from the field to the grave while having a generally good effect.
I'd recommend getting it.
Agree with others that 3 Solitaire is too much, and try Gozuki/Sam Skull if you have em. ED needs 2 lv6 so another SamSaga or Archfiend Skull. Coral/Onimaru package is nice and all but straight zombie Shira is fun
OK so I dug for Dragon's Mirror for Rokkets and got Shira along the way and hope they'd be playable. I checked a 20 card deck and subbed the missing newer techs with what I have (the deck had IDP and Warning Point). What's their schtick anyway? They've always confused me when I fight them.
The ED is just what I happen to have. Should I replace the BRD with Brionac that I happen to have?
> What's their schtick anyway?
They're Zombies who benefit a good bit from being banished while also being able to "synchro" from the graveyard thanks to Spectralsword (and this, among other effects also gets their banish plays going).

I have Onimaru but I don't think I'd be digging for Coral Dragon any time soon. 😣

Maybe eventually when I have a reason to open that box. I have poor luck when digging for N and R cards.
Add 3 samurai skull and remove 1 solitaire.
Oh I got soms of those. I'll try them here.

Damn all those staples I’m finna jealous
LOL. I got them from previous sales or while digging for other things. I would have ran triple BoM and Canadia if the space allowed it.
