Yugioh has a lot of decisions or fixed combos to perform on several turns in a Duel. So:

"All non-Fish monsters on the field lose 300 ATK/DEF. When this card is activated you can Excavate the top 10 cards of your deck and place them at the bottom of your deck in any order. You can only activate 1 "Below The Abyssmuth Trench" per turn. If this card is detached from an "Abyssmuth" XyZ monster you can add the bottom card of your deck to your hand. "

Arranging 10 cards can take some time depending on the circumstance. It's a lot for the opponent to remember as they have to essentially guess or remember the structure of your whole Deck from the 10 cards they see. Decrease to 5 or 2.

Say, this is a really good concept for a Fish deck.   Try playing these with the new shark support or something like that.

Your opponent does not need to remember the 10 cards you excavate because they go to the bottom of the deck. They only need to worry about the four that are returned from your Abyssmuth monsters effect.

After not being here for a while, and revisiting these forums, I have realized that 10 cards from the top is indeed quite a lot. I had not realized it was from the top and thought it was from the bottom so having a smaller number would make sense for the purpose of manipulating some of what you can see at the bottom. I lowered the number to 3. Thank you for your feedback and patience.
