General Strategy:
You'll want to access Superheavy Samurai Prodigy Wakaushi ASAP since it's your strongest playmaker. Using the advantage this card generates, you can easily deal with opposing threats and set up for a big OTK. The remaining Monsters cards in this list are a supporting cast for achieving this goal: there are big threats to bait out Traps, Illusion Monsters and searchers helping find Wakaushi, or handtraps to disrupt the opponent's counterplay.


Opening Plays:
If you start with Wakaushi or Superheavy Samurai Motorbike, you'll usually perform the following combo: Wakaushi's Pendulum Effect can place Superheavy Samurai Monk Warrior Big Benkei in the other Pendulum Zone, then Special Summon itself in Defense Position. Wakaushi's on-field Effect will Summon a Superheavy Samurai Soulpiercer from the Deck. The Benkei will add Superheavy Samurai Soulfire Suit to protect the Synchro you'll be ending on. Synchro Summon Superheavy Samurai Ninja Sarutobi, using Soulpiercer and Wakaushi. You can use Soulpiercer to add a Motorbike for followup or something to Equip to Sarutobi if you already have followup, with Wakaushi as Chain Link 2 to place itself in the Pendulum Zone and stop interaction on the Soulpiercer. Then, you can use Sarutobi to Destroy the Wakaushi in the Pendulum Zone for a free 500 damage.

If you start with Wakaushi and Terrors of the Afterroot, you'll use Wakaushi to Summon Superheavy Samurai Soulpeacemaker instead, and then Synchro Summoning Superheavy Samurai Swordsmaster Musashi to add back the Soulpeacemaker. This play ensures you'll have access to a Level 1 Monster to get rid of the Terrors in your GY.

With weaker hands, you can get to Wakaushi by making Union Carrier and Equipping Soulpiercer to it. On the following turn, you'll hopefully equip another Monster before using Snake-Eyes Doomed Dragon to send the Soulpiercer to the GY.

To OTK and end games with this deck, you can search both Superheavy Samurai Soulbuster Gauntlet and Superheavy Samurai Soulhorns, to attack twice with a massive boosted Monster.


Closing Thoughts:
Superheavy Samurai has a very strong card in Superheavy Samurai Prodigy Wakaushi, but the deck is held back by the restriction of only playing Monsters, combined with the lack of high-quality generic Monsters. This division makes the deck a ton of fun to play around with; you'll be able to splash in anything, as long as it doesn't put Spells/Traps in the GY. And if you open Wakaushi, well, that's just the cherry on top.
