Deck Profile: Gearfried the Thief?!?!

Hello, PDtamer03 here, and I'd like to thank all of the people that are sending in decklists; I'm officially swamped, so if it takes a little bit to get to your submission, don't worry, I'm working on it as fast as I can.  In the meantime, I'd like to introduce a deck that I've been playing around with for a while now, and as many people in my local tournaments can attest to, this thing is a nightmare to go against.  In the current format, hand control is awesome, and the ability to pick cards from my opponent's hand before they had a turn was downright scary.  The funny thing is that this combo is long forgotten, so it's extremely hard to side against it correctly.  Here it is, Gearfried the Thief.

Absolutely evil....in case you don't know the main combo to this build, Gearfried + Smoke Grenade = Confiscation without the life point cost.  Thestalos, Don Zaloog, and Reaper provide more hand control, and the Blast with Chains are extremely sneaky, allowing either an increase of attack during the damage step, when your opponent is most likely unable to activate anything, and the ability to destroy one card on the field when it's killed by a card effect.  Anyways, sorry for such a short article, I've got to travel to a tourney tomorrow, and afterwards I'll start back up on everyone's decklist, just please be patient.  Remember to e-mail deck fixes/comments/questions to PDtamer02@hotmail.com
