Deck Fix 17- Cold Calculations

Hello I am David Fletcher I have been playing for Yu Gi Oh for 4 years and this year I have started playing at regional tournaments. I am deciding to use my Volcanics Deck in regional tournaments and I would like some help in making my deck better.

My deck works with Blaze Accelerator on the field and a set Wild Fire, I discard volcanic monsters to the graveyard to destroy my opponents monsters then I wait until the field is cleared (Usually by chaining Wild Fire to Heavy Storm) then tribute the token for Volcanic Hammerer. Before that happens I use Volcanic Hammerer's and Volcanic Slicer's Effect to cause effect damage. I also use Continuous Spell cards along with Gem Flash Energy to create some extra damage. Also I try to create deadlocks with Volcanic Doomfire along with Marshmallon Glasses or The Dark Door or another Volcanic Doomfire. I side deck Volcanic Counters and Burial from a Different Dimensions.

I want you to fix my deck because I need some help in knowing what cards will go good and what cards I should take out to shrink my deck to 40 cards from 50 cards that have now.

I use a Side deck for my volcanics deck.

This is a build of Volcanic Monarchs that I've been using for a little while now. It combines burn and aggression into one neat little package. Avarice and Firestorm guards cause recursion of shells and scattershots. Thestaos provides hand control, and Rockets start the mayhem. Remember to chain the Kurenai card to any threats to your Fire monsters, the damage racks up quickly.
