uhm.. i never had problems with my version of the deck so far. when he takes control of kaba, i just 🔥 it with another kaba. i always have at least 1 pot of benevolence reserved for last few turns if needed to recycle cards or manage deck count. if bakura have not used exchange yet, and my field has 3 monsters, i discard kaba if panda is not in my hand or i take his 2000 atk zombie.
oh btw. on my version you have to summon 3 dinos on the field and keep them alive until the last 2 turns, reason is that for panda tribute 1 turn before last card is drawn from ur deck. then final turn can summon piranha and then fusion master of oz. the 3rd dino will attack his monster (if have any), then piranha hit directly.
