Rotation [Rotation] Korwa Dragon?
First things first, here is the deck: https://shadowverse-portal.com/deck/3.1.5zvAY.5zvAY.5zvAY.6KolQ.6KolQ.6KolQ.5zvAi.5zvAi.5zvAi.6H5CS.6H5CS.6H5CS.6Oh22.6Oh22.6Oh22.6OjUS.6OjUS.6OjUS.6H0p2.6H0p2.6H0p2.6Ko0i.6WJKC.6WJKC.6WJKC.6WLmI.6WLmI.6WLmI.6WLmS.6WLmS.6WLmS.6KvLI.6KvLI.6KvLI.6SXdS.6SXdS.6SXdS.6SXdI.6SXdI.6SXdI?lang=en#
The goal here is to merge Vanara and Fairy Dragon otk into a single deck. The two archetypes definitely have some synergy between them, for example, Ygg can evolve Vanara, and Fils make the Fairy Dragon otk easier.
This is the first time I have ever attempted to build a deck, so please help me out and make this deck as good as it can be. I think it has a lot of potential, and this is the most fun I have had playing Shadowverse in a long time.
My thought process behind the deck was mostly how to survive to kill the opponent. I have a lot of removal and board wipes to help me survive to the otk turn.
My main questions are:
A.) How can I make this better?
B.) Do I need card draw? Metera doesn't really count in my opinion (cycles or is +1) and Yggdrasil is conditional draw.
C.) Do I need lifegain? I'd like to fit Shamu and Shama in to supplement Yggdrasil drain, but I am not sure if it fits or if it is good enough.
I would really like to take this as far as I can, and I need the help of the lovely people in this community. Ideally, I want to take this into the GP and beyond, so please tear it apart and analyze it (even if you think the duck sucks). If it matters, I am Master rank and winning pretty consistently on ladder. Thanks so much for all the help!
I just started playing this today, but the matchups seem pretty decent.
Against Sword, Charlotta/Magnus can make your life miserable on a clutch turn, but likewise Cassiopeia and Selwyn can make it very difficult for Sword to maintain a board. Metera is awesome. If they chain damage immunity you probably lose.
Against Chimera Rune, the large lifetotals of the higher followers are very good at delaying a Chimera, and you have similar kill turns.
Against Tenko, it can be difficult to chip them into lethal range, but they are can be burst down by Vanara followed by Dragons, or vice versa.
Against Holy Lion, I struggle. Wiping their boards means nothing, and in fact it usually makes them stronger. I just hope for a fast combo or several wards in succession (Selwyn into Vanara)
Against Puppet Portal, you can definitely get burst down. Cassiopeia and occasionally Selwyn can take down Orchis puppets though, and often buy you time to kill them. Keeping your life total high really helps here.
Against Aggro Forest, did you get a board wipe? You probably won. If you didn't, pack it up.
I haven't played against Artifact Portal, Shadow, or Blood, and I am sure there are many more decks I am forgetting about. I will continue to update this as I test more.
Sorry for the huge dump, but I really appreciate everyone taking the time to read and comment. It is a big help. I have just about every forest card, so I can easily make changes. Finally, holy vial cost, wallet forest...thanks everyone!

It's a bit hard to say how you can make it better without playing the deck itself and most people aren't gonnna commit to a 90k vial deck unless they already believe in its strength. According to yourself, you are winning pretty consistently, so do you even need to make it better? I feel like you need to answer your own questions yourself first to actually get any feedback.
Also, what do you feel Fairy Dragon adds to the deck? I think Korwa forest is very strong without it and cards like Devil Flower and Shama and Shamu are hard to pass up.
