Christmas Deck Dump, Part 1: Falcon Keepers

Merry Christmas, Yu-Gi-Oh players! As a Christmas gift to you all, I am going to be posting a few deck lists for your enjoyment, along with explanations of effects and common synergistic plays the decks can make. First up: Falcon Control!

Monsters:
2x Dark Simorgh
1x Dark Armed Dragon
3x Mist Valley Falcon
3x Mist Valley Soldier
1x Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind
1x Gravekeeper's Descendant
3x Gravekeeper's Spy
2x Gravekeeper's Guard
1x Summoner Monk
2x Fortune Lady Wind

Spells:
1x Giant Trunade
2x Big Bang Shot
1x Monster Reborn
1x Dark Hole
1x Swords of Revealing Light
1x Mystical Space Typhoon
2x Book of Moon
1x Allure of Darkness

Traps:
1x Call of the Haunted
1x Royal Oppression
1x Torrential Tribute
1x Mirror Force
1x Solemn Judgment
2x Anti-Spell Fragrance
2x Bottomless Trap Hole
2x Icarus Attack

The primary purpose of this deck is to abuse Mist Valley Falcon's effect with a wide number of other cards, which include Royal Oppression, Big Bang Shot, Swords of Revealing Light, Gravekeeper's Guard, Gravekeeper's Spy, Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind and Fortune Lady Wind. Not counting Dark Simorgh and Dark Armed Dragon, the deck runs eight DARKs and eight WINDs, making it easy to prime both monsters for the deck. Particularly easy is Dark Simorgh, as Summoner Monk + any spell allows you to bring out Mist Valley Soldier for a level 8 Synchro Summon, with both the WIND and DARK fodder needed for Dark Simorgh. The deck also runs nine Winged-Beasts, giving you more than enough targets for Icarus Attack's easy destruction.

The high number of Spellcasters (nine total, counting the six Gravekeepers, Summoner Monk and the two Fortune Lady - Winds) also gives you outs to Arcanite Magician. Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind plus any of the seven level 4 Spellcasters makes Arcanite Magician, as does Mist Valley Falcon with either of the two Fortune Lady Winds.

The Anti-Spell Fragrances complement Dark Simorgh in its own lockdown: Dark Simorgh and Anti-Spell Fragrance face-up on the field will prohibit your opponent from Setting cards, while making a prerequisite of playing Spell Cards to Set them. This means that your opponent can only play monsters face-up on the field, and cannot play Spells or Traps at all. If this strategy does not suit you, however, you can replace them with Book of Moon, Pot of Duality, or Treasure Map - another card that allows you to take advantage of Mist Valley Falcon (by turning its effect into a "draw two").
