Tbf to link dragon ftk it does not require halq and cross, they just facilitate herald to stop any hand traps and make it only slightly more consistent (trust me it's consistent without them). That deck will need its own hit separate from them.

Nope, you're right. The Dragon Link FTK has so much maneuvering room that it's able to run its own plethora of handtraps for when it goes 2nd without lowering consistency while this one can't

Interesting we've gotten to the point were you need to think about the amount of extenders we have if you can engineer a situation to have a cannon solider mk2 you just need to use its effect 6 times which requires 12 monsters the only way I'd improve the combo is using o.g cannon solider because that only takes 10 monster or maybe even toon cannon solider because its searchable

Cannon soldier like cards aren't the problem with these kinds of ftks. The problem is with the cards that gives you all those advantage (needlefiber, linkross, auro).
