Notes & Combos
This is a revamped version of this list. The deck tries to mill itself and make powerful Extra Deck monsters to fulfill the mills and disrupt/stun the opponent, by using Main Deck cards that benefit while in the GY or can be reborned off of it.

Card choices
- Cyber-Stein
Elf/Cross-Sheep target. Cheats out Naturia Exterio to cover the deck's inherent weakness to backrow (also because I despise Runick)
- Iblee
Elf/Cross-Sheep target. Helps insulate against Nibiru/Imperm depending when you get to summon her. Also turns off board breakers like Super Poly and Evenly unless they get rid of her.
Pair up with Electromagnetic Turtle (or Snow banishing your attack-position monsters in a pinch) to prevent them from crashing.
- Diviner of the Heralds
Elf/Cross-Sheep target. Sends Ishizu or Valkyria to grave, becoming Lv6. Pair up with Lv4s like Snow or Giant Rex to make Baronne, or use during opp turn with Elf to make Ishizu plays.
- Chaos Valkyria
Procs Thunder Dragons. Can send core Light monsters like Snow, Electro. Turtle or Diviner for plays next turn.
- Giant Rex
Banish target for Snow. Helps make Abyss Dweller when Snow banishes it. Alternatively helps with Baronne or Links.
- Ishizu (Fairies + Gravekeeper's Trap + Exchange of the Spirit)
Helps make the deck's original milling strategy even stronger. The shufflers can help fix GY+deck for plays where cards need to be in deck in order to work (ex: Diviner sending fairies, Dragonroar effect, Dragondark effect).

Side deck
Not really a side deck, just some tech choices you could try using. Though considering the deck is already so tight on space, it's kinda hard trying to fit some of them in.
- Chengying/Psychic End Punisher
Huge beatsticks that benefit from the deck's banishing and burn damage respectively.
- Avramax
I:P target to protect the board. If I was to replace anything for it, it'd be Underworld Goddess.
- Red Resonator
To avoid burn damage kills after using Stein and P.U.N.K. effects. Its Lv2 and additional summon can come up too.
- Trick Clown
Lv4 that summons from GY, but it burns so it can be risky in this build with Stein. I just choose Giant Rex over it.
- Grass
No-brainer for a deck with this type of strategy, but depending on the popularity of pile decks (which is crazy right now due to Ishizu) it's a bit hard justifying it in the ladder where you risk it being a dead card.
