Rate my Volcanic Deck (Post April 1st 2015)?

Although we have lost triple Vanity's Emptiness, which will certainly hurt some of the decks match ups, I still feel that Volcanics are a pretty good rogue pick. Their match ups against most decks are pretty decent and the ability to wipe the opponent's field whilst thinning your deck and dealing 1500 damage is pretty good regardless.

Here's the build I'll be running:

Monsters: 14

Volcanic Rocket x 3

Volcanic Shell x 3

Volcanic Scattershot x 3

Royal Firestorm Guards x 3

Dynatherium x 2

Spells: 9

Pot Of Duality x 3

Magic Planter x 2

Book Of Moon

Wild Fire

Mystical Space Typhoon x 2

Traps: 17

Blaze Accelerator Reload x 3

Reckless Greed x 3

Fiendish Chain x 3

Phoenix Wind Wind Blast x 2

Mind Crush x 2

Ring Of Destruction

Vanity's Emptiness

Bottomless Trap Hole

Solemn Warning

Extra Deck is just generic Rank 4 xyz.

    Looks nice! The strategy seems to mainly be burning your opponent's LP, wiping their field, and drawing a bunch of cards to get what you need in order to do so, so the deck layout is good. I might even recommend -1 or 2 Fiendish Chain and -1 Phoenix Wind Blast in place for cards like Evac. Device and/or +1 or 2 Dimensional Prison, since a lot of decks nowadays can come back pretty fast from destruction, if not outright evading it, but have lots of trouble getting around banishing or, for those tributing decks (that seem to be dominating the top tiers of the Meta), returning that big monster back to the hand is rather insulting, haha. Maybe even 1 or 2 Wave-Diffusion Cannons, since those add to your strategy and stress out the opponent at the same time. BUT overall, a very good looking deck that will definitely burn! It will have trouble against some of the Meta out now though.

    Rating: 4 out of 5 // 8.5 out of 10

    P.S.-- How do you know Vanity will get hit with a ban? Or is this OCG or something?
