Any suggestions? Ideas? Rating? Fixing? it's really the first Gravekeeper's deck I've made actually TO USE. The side is pretty much personal options, like Maxx "C" and Deck Destruction Virus in my case, the rest is pretty much standard side things, I'm not really sure if I would run it in a match however xD.

I would drop 1 d prison and double up on the commandant. the deck is pretty standard, though myself, I don't really use prison at all; I do see it's potential in gk. compulse is good, so good for this deck. you can save your spies from backrow, barring solemns, and you can press your advantage by bouncing an exceed. Definitely find a place for allure of darkness though. that card is indispensable, especially if you run into a hand of 2 gk and no stele, you can fetch more backrow and set one gk, then royal tribute without losing monsters. Your ratios are pretty much correct, low monster count is par for the course with gk, but double veiler in the main deck might be a little much. I'd go -1 on that, side board that sucker, and put in another recruiter or descendant. Recruiter moreso because it is a floater.

Changes so far:
-1 Effect Veiler
+1 Commandant
-1 Dimensional Prison
+1 Allure of the Darkness

-1 Magical Android
+1 Evilswarm Nightmare

Notes: I'd rather not increase the monster count, since the goal of the deck is hand destruction, basically use Royal Tribute as almost an Ace, and then finish the work with Mind Crush after seeing his hand, and of course, Necrovalley keep getting destroyed over and over and over again, that's why I run 3, and now 2 Commandant.

good call; keep in mind though, that mind crush requires you have one card in hand to activate. that's why I suggested using 3 recruiter; you can pop one to wonder wand to gain your +1 and dig through your deck for extra backrow, then set it and have a guaranteed monster in hand to use as mind crush fodder. Though your deck is meant to know what your opponent's hand is at all times; there will be times when you're guessing blindly, and you want to have the option to plus with gk stele if you get the mind crush wrong.

Personally, I would take out the Wonder Wands. The only really viable monster to use it with is Recruiter, making it a bit situational. And even if you do manage to pull it off, it results in a +1, decreased field presence, and a possibility of a dead draw. However, it does thin the deck and there is a possibility of getting something good. Again, I've never really used Gravekeeper's before so my advice shouldn't be given that much weight.

the decreased field presence isn't so big a deal. when you pop a card for wonder wand, you gain necrovalley and an increased backrow, ideally. the backrow should be able to keep you alive long enough to regain field presence, monster-wise. his ratio is good for a gravekeeper deck. The deck normally runs between 11-14 monsters due to royal tribute. Some people triple up on GK stele and increase their monster count, but this leaves the deck poorly defended against monsters in a spam heavy format. There's also the issue of protecting necrovalley; some use the malefics, others prefer to set backrow to protect it so as not to increase their monster count, or leave out much needed GK. That said, a tech piece of advice that most players won't give you is to side macro cosmos in the deck. it hurts your recruiter, but the benefits outweigh the cost. darks are easier to work with from the banish zone than most other attributes, but more than anything, you should switch your strategy when you side in macro to a descendant heavy style. just pop and don't worry about anything else.

Testing Changes:
-1 Photon Papilloperative
+1 Abyss Dweller

Notes: Wonder wand has been amazing so far, it have many uses, I can use it to go for a card search + 2 draws with recruiter, or just make a 2600 atk monster with Commandant, normally after using Royal Tribute + Mind Crush, the hand of my opponent is so empty that he can't get over a 2600 atk monster, also the deck need to be thin and cosistent if I want to use Royal Tribute + Mind Crush.

I didn't had much problems about having mind crush while I don't have royal tribute, eventually they end by using Duality/Searcher Cards that show me what they got, but royal tribute wasn't so hard to bring to hand however, with 11 monsters it is nearly never a dead draw.
