Trample'd - Shinato Deck

Shinato decks are cool. Shinato himself has one of the most unique effects in the game; he deals reverse trample damage. Instead of attacking a defense position monster and dealing the overflow damage, he deals damage to your opponent equal to the defense monster's attack. So if you attack a defense Goblin Attack Force with Shinato, your opponent will take 2300 damage. Pretty deadly, right?

Well, there are cards such as Big Bang Shot and Fairy Meteor Crush that can give Shinato trample. So now when you attack that GAF, not only do you deal trample damage(3300 or 3700 because of Shinato's massive attack) AND you deal damage equal to the attack(2300). 5700 or 6000 damage from one attack is pretty nice. I'd advise against using Big Bang Shot however; if BBS is destroyed while equipped to Shinato, your hard earned Ritual is removed from the game. Not cool. Creature Swap is in here for that reason alone; swap a GAF/Orc and then trample over it.

BEWD is in this deck for the sole purpose of getting Shinato out quickly. 8* is pretty hard to pull off for a Ritual and is EXTREMELY bad hand management, so it's almost a necessity that you have a monster that is great Shinato bait.

The rest of the cards seem out of place. Tsukuyomi? Book of Moon? Enemy Controller? Well, they all have a VERY important effect; they can switch an opponent's monster into face down defense, and since Shinato's effect doesn't kick in unless the monster he attacks is in Defense, we want to make sure that the monsters your opponent uses stay in Defense. Shinato alone is scary, but Shinato with Trample and a forced Defense lock is horrifying. As it is, Shinato is the strongest ritual in the game attack wise, and to top it off he has one of the better effects in the game. Abuse this effect.
