Mask Theme Review, can this deck be a great beatdown or a burner?

"The Masked Beast" is this card worth a strategy or worth some trash? Well 
"The Masked Beast" has 3200 attack points and 1800 defence points which 
makes it intelligent to play this card in attack mode. But this card has a 
catch to it, you need to ritual summon it by playing the ritual card "Curse 
Of The Masked Beast". You will have to offer 3 tribute monsters to play it.

This monster could eliminate a Blue Eyes In One Turn. It makes it wise to 
combo this card with Sonic Bird (from Pegasus Starter). Your opponent is 
most likely to have equip magic cards with them. They could just equip a 
"Blue Eyes" and finish "The Masked Beast" off. This card is not worth the 
play unless you use some equip magic cards.

What about the other "Mask" cards? Well "Mask Of Weakness" has a nice 
effect to use it on one of your opponent's monster and decrease it's 
attack. That could save your "Masked Beast". Mask Of Dispel is totally 
useless because your opponent only takes 500 Life Points of direct damage 
each turn, it didn't say it doesn't stop the magic card at all. It doesn't 
make sense to have this card in any kind of deck.

"Mask Of Restrict" is best to play if you have all of your stronger 
monsters out on the field. But what are the chances of drawing it? Slim to 
none unless you have a few of them in your deck but what is the point of 
that? It only increases your chances to drawing it. It would make no sense 
to playing all of them on the field so its best to not have this card in 
your deck. One "Mask Of Restrict" isn't so good you just need to get a 
lucky draw.

"Mask Of The Accursed" is a awesome card to have! You should put a couple 
of those in your deck because you can equip it to one of your opponent's 
monster and make them pay the debt for it plus the monster cannot attack so 
your opponent has to tribute the monster to stop losing their life points. 
You would have to watch out for Solemn Wishes though.

"Mask Of Brutality" is also an excellent card to have in your deck because 
you could could equip it to one of your opponent's monsters to make them 
lose some life points but there is a problem with that because that monster 
would have it's attack increased by 1000 points. You can also equip this 
card to one of your monsters use it once then ship it off to the graveyard. 
You should probably put three of these in a deck.

In total there will be a card called "Masked Doll" coming out whenever. 
It's effect is that it will negate any negative effects of a trap or magic 
card. You should hope that it's a permanent effect card. You could use this 
on "The Masked Beast" or any strong monster with Mask Of Brutality. This 
will definetly be staple. I'm not sure when this is coming out but it will 
make a excellent combo with "Mirror Wall".
