Hi, i haven't played Yu-Gi-Oh for years (Chaos had just started iirc), and I was wondering if my deck is still capable of being used competitively.
High Level Monsters:
1x The End of Anubis
1x Jinzo
1x Lava Golem
Lower Level (4 stars or less)
1x Gearfried The Iron Knight
1x Blazing Inpachi
2x Soul Tiger
1x Luster Dragon
1x Mystic Tomato
2x Drillago
2x Man Eater Bug
2x Magician Of Faith
1x Witch of the black forest
2x Gren Maju Da Eiza
1x Opticlops
1x Penguin Soldier
Magic Cards
1x Swords of Revealing Light
1x Card Destruction
1x Scapegoat
1x Fairy Meteor Crush
1x Final Destiny
1x Nobleman of Crossout
1x Inferno Tempest
1x Gravekeeper's Servant
1x Level Limit Area B
1x Rare Gold Armour
Trap Cards
1x Robbin' Goblin
1x Enchanted Javelin
1x Return From The Different Dimension
1x Forced Requisition
1x Dust Tornado
1x Shadow Spell
2x Graverobber's Retribution
3x Energy Drain
It's an old deck, i know, but I had alot of success using this deck, and I hope you guys could rate it for me. Thanks :)

Well Magician of Faith i know for a fact is banned now, and i think Robbin Goblin is as well... Hmm it could be a good deck, however u might want to upgrade a little bit, Man Eater Bug is a surprise in that deck, however, it's a pretty good card bc it could surprise ppl, i wouldn't run it too heavily in todays game though... i would run some new synchro and tuners to set up for lava golem... that'd be a pretty sweet setup

In tournaments ?? If I may be honnest, I don't think you'd stand much of a chance, Witch of the Black Forest is also banned.
So, now I might as well review your cards
1x The End of Anubis ( still ok I think, especially in a Gravekeeper deck )
1x Jinzo ( pretty good monster, but now not too good anymore )
1x Lava Golem ( decent for Burners and possibly Fire Decks, but Dark Ruler Ha Des could help out if you go for a Fiend deck, but it depends on what theme you'd like to build it. )
Lower Level (4 stars or less)
1x Gearfried The Iron Knight
1x Blazing Inpachi
2x Soul Tiger ( way outdated )
1x Luster Dragon ( good card still today )
1x Mystic Tomato ( how about three of those ?? )
2x Drillago ( not sure if it's still ok, but there are monsters that after attacking the way he does switch on defense mode, that way you don't lose LPs )
2x Man Eater Bug ( better with Newdoria, it's more reliable and can be more versatile )
2x Magician Of Faith ( banned )
1x Witch of the black forest ( banned )
2x Gren Maju Da Eiza
1x Opticlops ( you might want to replace it with Archfiend Soldier, also fiend and 1900 Atk points instead of 1800 Atk )
1x Penguin Soldier
Magic Cards
1x Swords of Revealing Light
1x Card Destruction
1x Scapegoat
1x Fairy Meteor Crush
1x Final Destiny ( pretty dangerous to use today, Demise would already be better, or even Sky Scourge Norleras )
1x Nobleman of Crossout ( great card, book of moon does a good combo with this )
1x Inferno Tempest ( replace with Book of Moon )
1x Gravekeeper's Servant
1x Level Limit Area B
1x Rare Gold Armour
Trap Cards
1x Robbin' Goblin
1x Enchanted Javelin ( threatening roar more efficient )
1x Return From The Different Dimension ( need to check if banned )
1x Forced Requisition
1x Dust Tornado ( still often used )
1x Shadow Spell ( Sakuretsu or Magic Cylinder if you don't have Mirror Force )
2x Graverobber's Retribution
3x Energy Drain
Let's see, some cards I'd recommend to use.
x1 Brain Control
x1 Monster Reborn
x1 Giant Trunade
x1 Mystical Space Typhoon
x1 Heavy Storm
x1 Mirror Force ( if you don't have it, Sakuretsu Armor or Magic Cylinder could make the job until you'd get a Mirror Force )
x1 Solemn Judgment
x1 Raigeki Break
To consider
x1 Cyber Dragon
x1 Breaker the Magical Warrior
x1 Sangan
So, you should decide on what theme you'd like your deck to be about, looks to me like a good fiend deck would be nice in your case, lots of them have already been mass released so it would be affordable to build up.
But on this, sorry if you don't like me to say this, but in a tournament, you just don't stand a chance with your deck the way it used to be... :(

The only card in that deck that is even remotely used in competition these days is Dust Tornado every now and again. If you want to come back into the game, I'd recommend heading over to the deck forums and looking at what kind of decks are being built these days and try to build something around that. I would recommend Synchro Kitty, since it's very cheap to build and easy to use. It's also this year won the European Championships and the Canadian Nationals.

You need someone to help you to build a better deck.

To be honest, No. Decks this format are way to fast for things such as sacking for things like Jinzo. If you want to really get back in the game look at the last SJC articles and decklists.

the basic starter sucks, the dark emperor is way better.
as for the OP, i suggest going to either synchro cat or plants :)
