Rate/Fix my Final Countdown Deck with Skill Drain?

One issue I always had with Final Countdown is how the opponent can just activate effect after effect after effect, and this was always annoying when it came to Gravity Bind, Level Limit and such cards which have to remain face-up. So, I thought I'd try Skill Drain, and it tests out fine, but I am still unsure about the face-up cards such as Messenger of Peace and Swords.

Monsters - 13

3x Battle Fader

3x Zero Gardna

3x Wattlemur

3x Winged Kuriboh (until Swift-Attacking Scarecrow is released)

1x Sangan

Spell Cards - 12

3x Final Countdown

3x Upstart Goblin

2x Gold Sarcophagus

2x Messenger of Peace

1x Reinforcement of the Army

1x Swords of Revealing Light

Traps - 15

3x Threatening Roar

3x Thunder of Ruler

3x Waboku

3x Frozen Soul

2x Skill Drain

1x Pyro Clock of Destiny

My only other concern is Royal Decree which is why I side in 2x Mystical Space Typhoon, but should I main them? I am well aware that I do not have Pot of Duality.

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to answer.

    Okay so you're stratagey is to negate the effect of monsters + waiting for for the 20 turns to win right?, This sounds like a new and good stratagey but don't get me wrong,isn't it kinda hard to play with a Skill Drain and Final countdown

    Alright let's say you got "Final Countdown" in you're hand and you play it

    Most of you're trap cards are negating the effects,Where's "Mirror Force" or "Torrential Tribute"

    Also even if you changed all monsters to normal,a single "MST" would ruin everything,you need "Dark Bribe"

    Okay you're not going to attack, because most of you're monsters based on stalking so "Gravity Bind" and "Level Limit-Area B" sounds good to me to use

    Alright as you said,if they ever used "Royal Decree" or "Jinzo" everything is going to messed up,So you have to put either "Dark Bribe" or "MST"

    Alright to be honest i never dueled against a deck similar to this but i can see you can win with it if no one destroyed "Skill Drain" or "Messanger of Peace" until you win

    Also why don't you use "Wave-Motion cannon" with Messanger of Peace of "Gravity Bind" with "Skill Drain Face up" but i this case you would need "Dark Bribe" or "MST" as well

    so you have to make a room there :)

    My Opinion is to take out "Skill Drain" and to put cards like "Marshmallon", "Spirit Reaper", "Arcana Force 0-The Fool", "Wave Motion Cannon", "Gravity Bind", "Lava Golem"..ETC and more effective + Stalking monsters,the only problem is that their effect is going to activate

    but you can always use Spells and Traps ;)

    Pretty good deck, I'll just give you my decklist:

    Monsters (16)

    3x Battle Fader

    3x Zero Gardna

    3x Winged Kuriboh

    3x Golden Ladybug

    1x Sangan

    1x Morphing Jar

    1x Marshmallon

    1x Spirit Reaper

    Spells (14)

    3x Pot of Duality

    3x Upstart Goblin

    3x Final Countdown

    2x Gold Sarcophagus

    1x Level Limit - Area B

    1x Swords of Revealing Light

    1x Reinforcement of the Army

    Traps (10)

    3x Threatening Roar

    3x Thunder of Ruler

    3x Waboku

    1x Gravity Bind

    There's no real point in Skill Drains in here, they just burn your life points and get destroyed right away by stuff like MST and Dust.

    Side 2 MSTs, not too many decks main deck Decrees.

    Might want to throw a necro gardna in there too. He's good for negating attacks and stalling. Maybe 2-3 Nightmare steelcage and run a cold wave. If you can pull it off 1st turn you wont have to worry about playing Final coutdown in turn 2.
