As I'm sure, many of you have encountered a meta deck by now. Six Samurai, Inzektor, Wind-Ups. These decks are all above most other decks in that they can swarm the feild with ease, can a ton of cards before even attacking, and limit your actions. chances are if you dont use these yourself, you have a hard time dueling them.

So what could you do to stop these decks? Negate monster effects, prevent swarming, and protecting your monsters.
I have a deck that can do all this while at the same time ensuring you're the only kid on the block with this deck.

Vanilla uses next to no effect monsters. They're all normal. The border of normal monsters is the color of vanilla, hence its name. Because you dont use effect monsters, Skill Drain will have no effect on you. And since you're not swarming, Summon Limit will likewise be of no effect.
To modernize this idea, I've added Xyz monstrers. Keep in mind if you want to build this in real life, it's uber expensive, using both Skill Drain and Rescue Rabbit.

Main: 41

Monsters: 19
Alexandrite Dragon x3
Blue-Eyes White Dragon x3
Gene-Warped Warwolf x3
Luster Dragon #2 x3
Rabidragon x2
Evilswarm Heliothrope x3
Rescue Rabbit x2
(you can use any normal monsters you want, but these happen to be the strongest in the game right now)

Spells: 7
Ancient Rules x3
Lightning Vortex x1
Monster Reborn x1
Summoner's Art x2

Traps: 15
Call of the Haunted x2
Champion's Vigilance x3
Curse of Anubis x2
Justi-Break x2
Mirror Force x1
Skill Drain x3
Summon Limit x2
(Birthright is no longer neccesary since Call is unlimited, and Call can work on your Xyz as well)

Extra: 11
Kachi Koichi Dragon x1
Number 32: Shark Drake x1
Number 39: Utopia x1
Photon Butterfly Assassin x1
Steelswarm Roach x1
Thunder End Dragon x1
Evilswarm Ophion x1
Evilswarm Thanatos x1
Vylon Disigma x1
Gem-Knight Pearl x1
Number 50: Black Corn x1

You can of course add or take from this list, this is simply what works for me. Please note that Disigma and Shark Drake require 3 monsters to summon, not the standard 2. And using the Rabbit to summon Heliothrope, then get out Ophion will stop many decks dead in their tracks. 2550 atk and no one can special summon Lv.5+ as long as he has overlays. Also with BEWD and Rabidragon, you have access to the mighty Thunder-End Dragon, though he should only be used if you happen to be in the position to use it. And of course Pearl will be a major beatstick.)

The weaknesses of this deck are field advantage. If your opponent gets the upper hand early on and you have no traps to shut them down, you're pretty much done. Same goes if they wipe your field and you don't have a hand.
Also, if they pull Royal Decree on you, it'll be hard but not impossible to win.
And whatever you do, make sure they dont have time to get out something stronger than Blue-eyes. This deck plays by putting the pressure on and never letting off. Dont let your opponent play their combos. Just keep beating them down until they've lost.
