Another Blue-Eyes deck!

If you want to run Burst Stream, run Lightning Vortex instead. The discard is almost negligible and you blow up their stuff - you can discard, say, a card you were planning to SS with REDMD, or say a Red-Eyes Wyvern/White Stone/Blue-Eyes. Plus it can act as a reversal-esque card.

Stamping at 1 is the right number. Future Fusion is Limited.

Do consider taking out a Wyvern and putting in a copy of Masked. Or taking something else out and putting in a copy of Masked. You could also go for 2 Blue-Eyes maindeck instead of 3, which is a viable, though not necessarily recommended course of action. Uh... you need Exploder Dragon at 2. Yamata Dragon is good, but Exploder Dragon is as good. Definitely run 2. Yamata is mostly for the awesome combo with awesome awesome Totem Dragon being SS'd by REDMD and tributed for it to refill your hand.

Book of Moon can be at 2 and it won't hurt that much.
Stream is a bit situational, sure I get BEWD on the field easily, but I still think that Breath is better, because it works with any dragon, and it can be a anytime Torrential, can act as a Mirror Force, and hurt high attack / low def monsters. Lightning.. I blow most stuff though battle anyway. I'd rather keep cards in my hand for PMD's effect.
And yeah, I think I'd use Exploder over Yamata for now. I have no idea what to take out to make it 2, and have no idea what to remove to make another Masked come in (tbh 2 always felt enough for me)

Thank you for your praise, Firestar. I really know very little about card games, truly... I don't pilot enough decks around, well, anywhere to call myself that. : o My friends do, however, and I chat with them a lot, and we exchange metagame views, as I do keep up with top decklists and new sets, et al., and I dabble in playing from time to time.

Gold Sarc is actually semi-limited, otherwise we'd all run 3 in our combo decks. (...maybe. XD)

Well, unless you want to play Yamata Dragon (as in this was a made choice) it's not an absolute must in a Dragon deck. 2 Exploder, because it is ridiculously good (versus Stardust Colossal etc though nobody plays Colossal these days) and recursive. Genesis Dragon is also optional but a decent choice.

One thing I am disturbed a bit about... the lack of a level 2 Dragon-type Tuner like Dread Dragon or Magna Drago, and also the lack of Delta Flyer. They're definitely not exactly necessary if you can't afford an Extra Deck (unless you want to play this in a tournament or something), but are really nice to have. Space issues might make you not want them, however.
I agree, tuners would definitely add some good support to this deck but are not nesesarily required. I would give them a try though. If it doesn't work for you you can always swap them out again, right?

Two exploder sounds good cirrus.

In general most decks are stapled with two book of moons however dragons is another story. They need it to stop nasty monster effects such as the dreaded black rose nuke.
I do have a extra deck, but I mostly use BRD for a field reset (White Stone + PMD)
I rarely Synchro anyway. BRD and Catastor are my most common ones and even then I don't use them much.
Ok, I'm gonna have to agree with Cirrus here, some cards like PoD and Solemn Warning would boost this already strong deck's power. I never liked dragons because I never seemed to make the consistency of mine enough to be tournament-worthy, but I'm pretty sure draw-power helps any deck. If you could fit in a Trade-In or Cards of Consonance, that would be good. It's conspicuous that you are a great player though, good job with the deck.
Hmm. I would not actually recommend either Trade-In or Cards of Consonance here because the deck doesn't have enough space unless you dumped most of your Spells out. If you did that and played a copy of Debris Dragon as well as possibly the third copy of White Stone, however, it would be quite feasible.

Space issues... I'm not really the person you should look to to solve them, because I fail at solving them myself and often ask advice from my friends on what cards to cut from my 41-card decks (Xd), but, well, it's an improvement up from the 42-card decks I used to play. I'll reach 40 eventually.

I already said about tuners. Draw-power wise.. getting Future Fusion is my main priority, since it gets a bit hard to stop me after I get it. I have two Sarcs for that thing. I do have Starlight here but I missed it. I don't think I can get a PoD or a Warning though.. this deck already won a good amount of time and it's mainly for casual play.
 
I think you should try to Sync more often. You would win a hell of a lot more if you did. BRD isn't always for nuke, as it is also a fairly good Lv7 monster on its own. I try not to just use it for nuke. Also, a Delta Flyer, and Dread Dragon would be good, since Dread can pull out Flyer, and Flyer is good on it's own. If you rarely sync, add in a Dread, and tune with PMD and bring out Red Dragon Archfiend. A nice Syncro for power housing, plus and defensive strategies your opponent may have can be destroyed with it. Something to consider.
 
Brionac is excellent for Dragon decks especially. It + full field often = gg. This is typically why people run Tuners at all, and... Brionac is just back-breaking in power level. Masked Dragon is your premier tutor, so you should always, always run 3. Burst Breath would be cooler than Lightning Vortex, but it blows up your own guys too; still it is an option over Burst Stream, I suppose.

Dragon Tuners = Magna Drago, Dread Dragon and Delta Flyer. Those are the best. Synchroing is basically having a toolbox whenever you need it; that is extremely powerful. Gladiator Beasts would rule the meta right now, but they lack the Synchro toolbox, and therefore they don't; that's a living example of how powerful the Synchro toolbox is.

There's NO way that a first turn Future Fusion would be able to completely stop any tier 1 or even some high tier 2 decks... and really "difficult" is also a very strong word. Basically, Dragons die to bigger guys. This is why you want Synchros. Gottoms beats your face, Colossal walls all day, Brionac makes you cry, etc.

Although if this is for casual play then the deck is good enough already. Just add in another copy of Exploder and cut something. I gave suggestions (3rd Book, etc).

There is another good level seven dragon synchro with a decent effect but I can't for the life of me remember what it is. When I find out you'll be first to know though.
 
I would say
-Starlight
+ 7 tools

and fit in Trap Stuns

Starlight is losing power mostly everyday, since everyone who has solemn warning destroys starlight road. The best tech cards right now to stop warnings plays are Trap Stun and 7 tools.

Trap Stuns are for making sure your normal summon/special summon with out getting warning or 7 tool plays can leave your opp. in bad shape. with every player running 2 warning/1 judgement thats a hefty price to pay and being able to negate it while the opp. still pays the cost is a big plus.

POD is too expensive to even buy in singles. 130+ for a card that needs to be run in 2/3 is a big luxury. Unless your going for regionals/worlds, I wouldn't recommend POD.
