9300 was the pitfall number we kept coming to, so dont worry about ending up in the 9200 range, you can go higher (also don't forget you have 2 sharks in hand, you will need both for this solution)

I was just going by how much it was around the end of last format / beginning of this one.
Update, this is now the tin of the century:

omg just had the best comeback ever.
basically im playing some dark world user and i outplay him to the point where i have tking on the field with shark with backrow dealing damage to his dead snowws in hand and no other cards.
this guy is literally topdecking now because he desperately needs and out - and what does he draw? mother fucking morphing jar. just like that, all of my advantage completely disappears and im left having to now decide what to do with my tking shark field, i draw magician prison reborn tour guide something useless. so main phase 2 i summon magician, make shark 3 to get rabbit, banish the magician with rabbit, xyz for zenmaighty, get rat, bring back rabbit, and now im good to banish rat on his turn if i need to.
he does standard dark world shit, eliminates my backrow ends up with a field of 2 backrow + gates + 2 grapha and i have nothing on field (i banish rat with rabbit as well) and i basically lose if i dont win next turn. hes at 3100 LP i think
i draw wind-up shark and get back my magician and rat that were banished. and make my play to win on this turn:
1.) rat eff, summon magician from grave. ss windup shark trigger magician, get last wind-up shark from deck.
2.) make both sharks level 5 and xyz for wind-up zenmaioh to destroy this guy's two backrows.
3.) zenmaioh triggers the unused magician, get another rat from deck
4.) make photon pap with the 2 magicians, switch unused rat to attack.
5.) rat eff get the shark from grave
6.) xyz the 2 rats into giga brilliant
7.) reborn the shark, make both sharks 5 for adreus, destroy gates. giga brilliant eff and attack with all monsters for game.
in retrospect it looks kind of easy but when the pressure on, being able to think out how can i kill this turn with this set up isnt as easy as it looks and i couldn't really afford any wasted motion. knowing how to make sure both of my magicians got value before xyzing with them for pap was crucial, as was making sure i got the exact monsters i need (adreus + brilliant + zenmaioh + 1 monster to kill that turn).
all i can say is this game literally made my day and just makes me want to keep practicing vs dif scenarios.

It's been forever since I played Yu-Gi-Oh...after reading about all these awesome matches I think I'll have to get back into it sometime.
I freaking loved this game. Then synchros came, and by the time I was old enough to start making quality decks instead of making decks shown in the anime, I was pissed at how stupid the idea was. Then I started playing again 2 years ago. HELP ME. I'M GOING BROKE.

First attempt at building my own Dino Rabbit deck. Fix it please. Might put Reaper and Mole in here.

-2 fiendish chain (terrible card now that inzektors aren't broken. Its a -1 because you stop its effect and then you need a second card to destroy it)
+1 pot of avarice (despite it being "macro" rabbits, I've found that I end up with macro less than I'd like)
+1 Leviair (running two is useful)
-1 Utopia (have you ever decided to get this card out?)
its a pretty standard deck, so there's nothing too wrong. Most of this is just my preference.

Can someone help me? Attempted to build this deck, but I'm not sure how good it is. Also sorry about if the last post was old, but i've seen some older bumps in the thread.

All we ever look for
I would go:
-2 Macro -- It's better in the sideboard, IMO.
+1 Pot of Duality -- It's underused in Dino Rabbit, and I don't understand why. Extremely helpful when you have those inevitably awful hands.
+1 Maxx "C" -- This is one of my favorite techs, and I always fit at least one into the main deck when I can. It will save your ass against Wind-Ups and stuff.
-1 Soul Taker -- You have a ton of Thunder King hate as it is
+1 Pot of Avarice -- It's too good, man
That's all I can think of right now. Solid build.
Macro does far more to the meta than anything one shitty duality and maxx can do.

That's true, but I don't like how it conflicts with Avarice and is a dead draw in too many scenarios. I think he has enough control, and could use some extra speed/consistency.
It's just up to taste I think. I tried Skill Drain in the Dark World mainboard and didn't like it, and I didn't like mained Macro in Dino Rabbit either. Those type of traps that are great against some decks but are downright terrible against others, so I think they belong in the side at all times...unless you're playing with Malefic Beatdown/Macro/set5.dek.

I hate to be so blunt, but your deck isn't very good. Watts aren't very competitive, but they can make a good deck (Probably my fav archtype). The problem is you don't really have a win condition. Watts are slow compared to most other decks, and pushing for 1000 lp every turn isn't going to win you game because most decks can win in 3 turns if you don't stop them. You use a lot of bad cards seemingly just because they have the word "watt" in them. You also use a lot of single copies and not much general thunder support which is available. Cards like wattcube, robbin goblin, and wattcastle aren't that good, compared to cards like thunder seahorse.
The only way watts can be successful is by slowing the pace of the game. They have one of the most deadly 2 card lockdowns in the game with 2 watthoppers on the field. If you can get that out along with something protect it (Starlight road, Solemn Judgement, effect veiler) you've basically won. The whole deck should be based around trying to slow the game down and get this out, which is what my watt deck does. Right now your deck looks like a bunch of thunder cards thrown together, which doesn't really have rhyme or reason to it.
Check out my watt deck: http://i.imgur.com/xI9MteL.png
The deck is geared around getting 2 watthoppers out on the field. It gains a lot of hand advantage through seahorse, recharge and cobra, so I can afford to run photon lead to summon a watthopper. 1 watthopper on the field is rather vulnerable, but normal summoning one, then special summoning the other is very easy, as is searching for them with cobra. I can also get them out via dragonfly or one for one. Once they both get out I try to attack directly while my opponent tries to get rid of the 2 hoppers (which very few cards can do). After that I just have to get out wattchimera, which leads to a lockdown since my opponent isn't drawing any new cards, just the same one as they had in their hand the previous turn.
TL;DR, your deck needs work. If you're going with watts, focus on getting a wattlock out and protecting it. Get rid of the random cards which don't focus on that goal, and then add cards which slow the game down and stop your opponent from otk'ing you like veiler and tragodeia, since that's the biggest problem with slow decks nowadays. Good Luck!

Biggest quailms I have with this is the Heavy ban, your approach to fixing inzektors, and a slight change with wind ups, but pretty decent banlist. Might want some explainations to the aformentioned things along with not hitting DAD.
