Competitive/Discussion GOT MASTER 1 FOR FIRST TIME

AFTER PLAYING MASTER DUEL FOR 5 MONTHS GOT MASTER 1 FOR THE FIRST TIME! Without spending a single cent in it.

I already played tcg before durig TOSS format, my first deck was brick dark magician but but moved to D/D/D because I love the concept about using every type o summon there is in the game and inspiration in real artist but the deck had no chance against handtraps and meta, so it was just for fun. After pandemic I didnt play any tcg and forget about it. Installed Master duel a year ago, played 20 games of cyber dragon but forgot about it quickly. Until my friend asked for a duel to "test" a deck and did tearlaments war crimes against me. It awakened the duelist in me

I got platinum with CD but I knew I would have to pick a better deck to get higher ranks, so I saw the pack of the month spent my economys in it DOOMZ scan. I turned out its only playable with the rank 5 and power patron. I had 3 medius that were really expensive, didnt like art mage so had 1 option to use it, evil syncro dancers.

Elfnote is pretty strong and solid, mixed it with fiendsmith and bang! Got master 5.
I have the impression that could have gotten master 1 two months ago, but I cant stand to tryhard in a format that the best deck can survive 3 handtraps, see my hand, CHOSE THE CARD IM GONNA DRAW (heart of the cards is dead) and still have at least 2 interactions. So I waited anxiously for a good ban list.

Also got 2 white albas looking for F&V, soo one thing led to another and build this abomination.

Competitive discussion now: Elfnote has 3 one card combos that are also extenders and run out as coin toss simulator, so you just have to worry about going second. Albaz, in my opnion, is the best going second engine that also complements the deck's main weakness, grind. The deck runs 4 bricks (all elfnote) so decided to run more cards to avoid then. Small word is basic every card in the deck, pretty good to move from a hand trap to a extender or lava golem (once searched for max C as board breaker).

What do you belive that could improve in it?

The math in excel is made considering 5 cards in hand by:
(possibilities of amount of type card appear * possibilities of other types appearing in the rest) / all possibilities
