As much as 60 card decks certainly lose consistency, it's unfair to compare 3 cards out of 30 in your opening hand and 6 cards out of 60 in your opening hand, the probability of 6 out of 60 occurring is so much less than 3 out of 30.
True enough, comparing the odds of having a certain 6 cards in your opening hand out of a deck of 60 and having a certain 3 cards in your opening hand out of a deck of 30 is not that fair. But when that does happen, you WILL be screwed much more when
six, instead of
three, of your first few cards are very costly compared to your quanta generation power.
I mean, if you're running a mono rush, you can afford stuffing five dragons, maybe even six (of the same kind, obviously; putting, say, a Devonian into an otherwise-mono-Earth deck is simply moronic even if you're running Mark of Time), into the deck if you can consistently open with at least three or four pillars. If you're running a rainbow, however, good luck fitting more than a couple of dragons into the deck unless you're running a rainbow dragon OTK or something.
My point was that you should consider the worst possible openings in mind when you're assembling the deck.
I must admit I think the quote is not that fair to the situation we have in this deck, but for an entirely different reason.
Y'see, Anubis are costly to deploy, but their ability is a once-per-ally matter (there's no much use of immortalizing an already immortal unit, no?). Iridium Wardens and Arctic Squids? The
exact opposite; their deployment costs are very,
very cheap, but their abilities are meant to be used repeatedly,
once per turn per unit if condition requires, and all those ability costs is going to drain
and
fast without strong quanta generation. Even Tridents are arguably more similar to Iridium Wardens and Arctic Squids than to Anubis, especially if you're feeling sadistic enough to deny your enemy of any pillars/pends as much as possible.
EDIT: I forgot to address something about fat decks in general. If you can't afford a Golden Hourglass (which definitely is the case with this deck, as this deck have no source of
) and healing, try to keep to the minimum of 30 cards. Even if you can afford to run several hourglasses and have strong healing planned in mind, always, ALWAYS, keep your deck as slim as possible.
