You were literally only using Cyber End, Stardust, Gadjiltron and Barbaros as monsters! Along with the trade-ins and upstarts it's a very focused deck. I have to admit that I liked it, except for Dark Bribe, which you shouldn't need as much in a deck with Geartown. I think you would have benefited with simple staples like Dark Hole and Heavy Storm (which triggers your own Geartown if you need to). Your extra deck had pretty much all the options you could reasonably put to use.
I wasn't expecting Gladiators either, that was a surprise. The deck is again barebones for monsters, even for a Gladiator deck. I wouldn't run two Dimicari over another Laquiari, and some cards like Thunder King just fit really well with it. This deck is also missing Dark Hole. I'm also not sure why you aren't running Torrential Tribute with so much monster hate. The extra deck could use alot of work. You are never going to summon 3 Heraklinos, 3 Gyzarus, or 3 Essedarii. The majority of your XYZ monsters take 3 level 4's, making them far less useful to bring out with Darius. You effectively only have two Xyz's you can play, one of which only works with Darius + another Darius or Hoplomus. Add more variety to the extra, Xyzing is very useful to new Gladiator decks.
Match 1:There really wasn't anything different you could have done. I think these matches showed off the real weakness of the deck you made, that you have no way to deal with your opponent's monsters beyond being bigger. When that's not enough your deck flounders.
Match 2:You used Bottomless Trap Hole on my Maestroke instead of Solemn Warning. Considering Maestroke's effect is not to be destroyed, this was not a good idea.
Attacking my two Psychic Commanders with your Dimacari. You seemed to have forgotten what Commander's effect does, which caused Dimacari to get destroyed.
I'm not sure why you started off the second match by summoning Retiari, when I had only a Pot of Duality in the grave. Retiari isn't a very strong monster, and summoning him meant he wasn't in your deck to use next turn if you wanted him.
You could have used Dimensional Prison on my Serene Witch to stop her effect, since you had your Retiari in hand and couldn't use it instead.
It seems like you aren't familiar with the Xyz's and make mistakes as you familiarize yourself with them. However, you do have a decent playing skill. You will be assigned to
Ra Yellow.
