    Criticism of all types welcome (Not to harsh)
     
    -2 ghibi
    +2 sirrocco
    -1 elphin
    -2 strafe
    +3 cards for black feathers
    -2 dark eruption
    +1 allure of darkness
    +1 monster reborn
    +1 dark hole
    -1 backlash
    -1 urgent tuning
    -1 black thunder
    +1 Icarus attack
    +1 solemn judgement

    other than that it looks good
     
    Also my friend uses blackwings and he uses drak grepher and plaguespreader zombie. Altough greph comes with quite a hefty price tag. Plaguespreader is a really good card for this deck.
     
    Dark Grephers + Plague are only good in Vayu Turbo.
    Never max Card for the black feather. only run 1-2, 3 is overkill.

    Blackwing - Ghibli the Searing Wind. - terrible.
    Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn - Max at 3, always.
    Blackwing - Elphin the raven - not that good,
    Blackwing - Fane the Steel chain - not that good
    Sangan. - its too slow in BW deck.

    You need monster reborn, dark hole, either 2 POD or get 2 cards of the black feathers and 1 gold sarc.
    blackwing strafe is terrible

    Blackwing - Backlash - terrible, play solemn judgement
    Black Thunder - terrible -play either 7 tools or one more trap stun
     
    Hmm...

    As you have 3 of each Blackwing Synchro monster but no other Synchro monsters I'll assume this is a deck for online play.


    Total : 40

    Very good. 40 cards is the optimal number.

    Monsters : 23

    3x Blackwing - Blizzard the far north.
    3x Blackwing - Bora the spear.
    1x Blackwing - Gale the whirlwind.
    2x Blackwing - Ghibli the Searing Wind.
    3x Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame
    1x Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn
    2x Blackwing - Vayu the emblem of honor
    3x Blackwing - Kalut the moon shadow.
    1x Blackwing - Elphin the raven
    2x Blackwing - Fane the Steel chain
    1x Dark Armed Dragon
    1x Sangan.

    Whoa, whoa. Time out. This list is not... actually very good. Blackwings run a very streamlined list of monsters... a friend has joked about the fact that typically 36 cards of every Blackwing build remains the same; I feel that it is true (and funny, as well), at least when one applies it to the monster count. 3 Kalut, 3 Sirocco, 3 Shura, 2 (or 3) Bora, 2 Blizzard, 2 (or 1) Vayu, 1 Gale, and 1 Dark Armed Dragon.

    So let's come up with a list of monsters.

    Monsters - 17
    3 Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame
    3 Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn
    3 Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow
    2 Blackwing - Blizzard the Far North
    2 Blackwing - Vayu the Grand Flag
    2 Blackwing - Bora the Spear
    1 Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind
    1 Dark Armed Dragon

    That looks pretty good, given Blackwings are a breed of simplification-based and tech-based deck.

    Spells : 7

    2x Mystical Space Typhoon
    2x Black-Winged Strafe
    1x Black Whirlwind
    2x Dark Eruption.

    ...Way too few actually good Spells. Black Whirlwind is a step in a good direction... however. Key spells in this build are Cards for Black Feathers, Allure of Darkness, and !!Pot of Duality!!. You should run 5 copies in total... that is, a 2-2-1 split between CfBF-PoD-Allure or a 1-3-1 split. Don't do a 3-1-1 split, with 3 CfBF, because CfBF is a little weak sometimes (like Solar Recharge) and we don't want to deaddraw our face open.

    Spells - 10
    2 Mystical Space Typhoon
    2 Pot of Duality
    2 Cards for Black Feathers
    1 Allure of Darkness
    1 Black Whirlwind
    1 Monster Reborn
    1 Dark Hole

    That looks very good for the Spell lineup. A mix of primarily card draw combined with some power plays and 1-4-1 removal completes this complement.

    Traps : 10

    1x Mirror Force
    1x Trap Stun
    2x Icarus Attack
    2x Delta Crow - Anti reverse
    1x Torrential Tribute.
    1x Blackwing - Backlash
    1x Urgent tuning
    1x Black Thunder

    Traps are the most important part of a Blackwing deck. Delta Crow and Icarus are obvious choices, but I am unsure about Trap Stun, because Blackwings rely on Traps to make their deck go around. Icarus deserves to be upgraded to 3 as well. Seven Tools of the Bandit is actually very powerful this format, as it stops defensive moves like Bottomless Trap Hole, Torrential Tribute, and so on, as well as providing a good bulwark against the likes of Solemn Judgment and Warning; furthermore, it pushes against big sweeps for game by negating Trap Stun.

    We are allowed 13 slots for Traps.

    Traps - 13
    3 Icarus Attack
    2 Seven Tools of the Bandit
    2 Bottomless Trap Hole
    2 Solemn Warning
    1 Mirror Force
    1 Torrential Tribute
    1 Solemn Judgment
    1 Royal Oppression

    A flexible, powerful Trap lineup seems good here. Delta Crow is not strictly necessary, now that everyone just plays around it. It's decent side-deck material, however.

    Extra : 12

    3x Black-Winged Dragon
    3x Blackwing - Silverwind the Ascendant
    3x Blackwing - Armor Master
    3x Blackwing - Armed Wing

    Ah, the Synchro toolbox! An important part of any deck. This toolbox could use some overhaul and work. Goyo, Brio, and friends are all missing here.

    Something like this, perhaps!

    Extra Deck - 15
    2 Blackwing Armed Wing
    2 Blackwing Armor Master
    1 Blackwing - Silverwind the Ascendant
    1 Ally of Justice Catastor
    1 Magical Android
    1 Goyo Guardian
    1 Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier
    1 Black Rose Dragon
    2 Stardust Dragon
    1 Scrap Dragon
    1 Red Dragon Archfiend
    1 Dark End Dragon

    I'd like to fit a Mist Wurm/Trishula or a Chimeratech Fortress Dragon somewhere in there, so you can think of something to take out. Perhaps a copy of Stardust or the lone RDA (or both!).

    A DECKBUILDING EXERCISE BROUGHT TO YOU BY CIRRUS GAMES, INC.
     
    I enjoy your deck building session Cirrus xD
    Moooooar?
     
    Lol, Cirrus, your deck building lessons are awesome.
    Also, I don't think I can improve on Cirrus' deck build there, dragonomega. Yes, Dark Eruption screwed me over, but it isn't all that great, and you should take them out. There are things like Pot of Duality which would screw me over even more. But yeah, if you make the changes, I look forward to dueling your Blackwings again.
     
    Lololololol, it beat Machina, however, I will say that it wasn't quick, but I played it badly, and so I lost. I need to fine-tune my skills a bit. I should do better this time though!
     
    I wish I could watch, blackwings are supposed to be really smashed by machina's. If you are able to use side decks, then use d.d crows against machina as it kills them when they dump fortress.
     
    I don't xD it would be embaressing for me, since I'm not that good.
