I recognise the ftk deck published on the FTK archive. So I don't know if you'll trust our word over theirs, but essentially this deck can brick in three ways; for one, it is very vulnerable to disruption since it does one and only one thing very well and it's ftking. If you can't get your ftk, too bad. Secondly this deck has 8 dead draw cards which you possibly cannot do anything with when you draw them first and there are many chances of you having a hand full of divine monsters and nothing to do other than draw-set-pass. Then there is the One True Name which is good only if you're very lucky. Chances are, you'll almost never successfully resolve the good effect of the True Name unless you used a card effect to place the cards on top of the deck or if you have a Convulsion of Nature on the board. The least thing you can do to improve this deck strategy would be to replace it with other cards which special summon or draw.

If you prefer to improve your deck without concern for the strategy it adopts, I'd say the best thing you could do is focus on a ra OTK strategy instead. That way you can reduce the bricking potential with the extra divine monsters and have a more consistent game experience. Also, if you fail to do an otk, but still got ra out, it is always possible to finish your opponent in more than one turn as beatstick otk strategies are generally more flexible than effect or burn ftk strategies.

Also, Horakhty isn't a legal card so this is only a 39 card deck. Therefor the deck isn't legal.

It's not illegal, it's ocg only, not the same thing at all. Btw, if you didn't notice, most of the cards in this deck are ocg exclusives, so it's obviously an ocg deck.

I see. I guess that was a small oversight on my part.

 I understand your points, however the deck isnt that much of a brick, unless youre considering going against tier 1 decks.  True name is to combo with card advance, have both in your hand activates card advance reorder the top 5 card in your deck (and get an additional tribute summon), then play true name, declare the name of the card you place into the top, add it to your hand and either add to your hand or special summon an egyptian god. Since this deck doesnt have much defenses, it susceptible to hand traps, but hey, its a fun deck at least.

I ignored that fact to make a more complete egyptian god deck.

Then the deck is much worse than I thought. Because then that adds another useless bricky card that your hand could have. Here's the reasoning. Normally, card advance has a useful effect because it gives you information and it allows you an additional normal summon for tributing. It's rather useful in all kinds of tribute decks. However, by reserving it for combo with True Name, then you find yourself in the position of most Ritual players; stuck with the piece of a half; useless without one of the other. The worst part about this is the fact that, contrary to ritual players, you can't search True Name and Card Advance.

At this point your deck is so full of flaws, if each flaw was a hole, your deck would resemble swiss cheese.

The deck doesnt rely on these 2 cards though.
