DECK EXPLANATION

This deck is hardly based on manipulation.

Some examples:

Swap Frog can bounce any monster to hand and send any monster to graveyard from deck.

Ties of the Breathren massively Special Summon all monster you need, but with DIFFERENT NAMES.

Bubble Bringer bring back any monster you may have lost between the turn you have activated Ties and the turn you want to Xyz/Synchro, but only return monsters with SAME NAME.

 

Since the deck goal is to summon Graydle Dragon fast, you will probably activate Lemuria and make your monsters Level 5 (Graydle Dragon + 2 Level 2 monsters in a normal situation).

With your monsters Level 5, Rank 5 Xyz will be easy and Leo can be Summoned too.

 

There are some synergies that you need to keep in mind:

Ties of the Breathren + Swap Frog: On summon, you send a monster to Graveyard from deck, then active Swap Frog ability to return the face-up attack position monster (probably the target of Ties) to your hand, so you can play defensivery until your next turn, avoiding unnecessary damage.

Lemuria, the Forgotten City + Swap Frog: Level can be easly manipulated by Swap Frog + Lemuria, since you can bounce Frog to hand before/after Lemuria's activation.

Lemuria, the Forgotten City + Prior of the Ice Barrier: As Swap Frog, before/after Lemuria activation you can use its effect and tribute it to return another level 2 monster from graveyard to field. 

Lemuria, the Forgotten City + Lemuria the Forgotten City: You can activate Lemuria effect, then play another Lemuria from your hand and activate its effect again.

Graydle Dragon + Graydle Dragon: When destroyed and sent to Graveyard you can target another Graydle Dragon on the Graveyard and keep your power in the board. (Torrential Tribute and Dark Hole work well in this situation)

 

HONORABLE MENTIONS (MAYBE BOARD)

 

*Some tips are appreciated (about the deck, not about my bad english xD)

[ÆƵ–]

With what you have, I recomend Surface over Salvage. it can grab any of your main decks for more plays.

 

Also aegis of the Ocean Dragon lord or w/e is great in here. Stops raigeki and battle destruction in case you don't have lumeria up.
