Well, literally, if the deck lacks slots when building, put these guys in to fill the slots, and still slow down opp well on turn 2. Luckily, no one brought shifter to Subterror.
Counter Traps
The easiest way to slow down the enemy is to not let them do anything. To be honest, it's a 1-player game. If you're a newbie and don't know when to use it, just block the enemy's normal summon. Usually, the opp won't be able to do anything anymore (well, sometimes there are cases where the opp still has an extender and can continue to combo, but we'll see when that happens :>)
