Notes & Combos
Whenever I play D-Link I end up having the most bricky hands that can happen AKA Bystials + Handtraps without a way to get LIGHTs and DARKs into the GY, both in 40, ~ 48 and 60.
I tried the N°1 DC list with 40 cards, but I didn´t like it because the deck plays a lot of bricks (both field spells, recharger, driver, regained and beast) that come up a lot in 40.
Before that I was on around 48 ± 2 with the red eyes engine, but I still felt the brickiness, then I went to 60 with 3 rokket tracer + one for one + Caliber, which while it fixed the amount of bricks on my starting hand, lacked enough good starters, which is when I added 3 Chamber Dragonmaid + 1 Hospitality so that NS Chamber gets me to Romulus uninterrupted, and 1 Tidying for if I didn´t need Hospitality.
If you want to trim down the deck then the order in which I would cut things goes: Dragonmaid, Red-Eyes, 1 collapserpent (if your starter is seyfert then you really want the second copy for the discard or for followup), Branded Beast/Saronir, 1 Wywerbuster
For handtraps: Gamma, Ash, Maxx "C", and the Anti-Maxx "C" spells always should be on the deck, then I like 1-2 Nibiru to draw off Maxx "C" and stop combo decks that don´t respect it, then Imperm/Veiler so that my opponent cannot stop Nib with a monster negate, Droll didn´t come up much but when it did it stunned my opponents.
To experiment:
If not for the abundance of Dimension Shifter decks, I think that Ghost Ogre would be really good, as it stops Mathmech at Transcode, VS on NS razen, Purrely on either upgrade or My Friend, D-Link on Pisty
Phantazmay as a deck thinner that also unbricks your hand could be really useful in smaller versions of the deck, the issue is that it requires your opponent to be playing a link deck, which Kashtira (not the auroradon versions), Tearlament, Purrely and Lab aren´t, but perhaps someday with the advent of S:P Little Night it might be a really good tech choice.

1st replay is just me missplaying vs Lab
2nd replay is both how to play D-Link and how not to play D-Link/why I:P + Unicorn is good in the ED
3rd replay is just me vs stun with them having banished their outs to borrelend and slowly losing by deckout
