EVILSWARM ADAPTATION IN SHADDOLL FORMAT

I wrote about Evilswarm in my past post, which is shown below:

However, Evilswarm would have to adapt in order to survive. The question is, how would we adapt? Forbidden Dress would be replaced by Forbidden Chalice simply because it can get around all kind of flip effect as well as El Shaddoll Winda. Unlike other effect negation cards, Forbidden Chalice can be activated during damage step, meaning that it can stop the flip effect even if you attack into a face-down monster. This alone makes this card better than other effect negation cards. Evilswarm don't really fear El Shaddoll Winda because we usually don't rely on special summon to swarm the field. Evilswarm Castor and Evilswarm Kerykeion both give us an additional normal summon. However, our Rescue Rabbit and Evilswarm Mandragora are both being shut down by El Shaddoll Winda since we can't Xyz summon after we use the effect of these monsters. Forbidden Chalice as a quick play spell, enable us to shut down El Shaddoll Winda's effect and make play right away.

Evilswarm Ophion can shut down Shaddoll Fusion. However, Evilswarm Ophion is not an auto win since shaddoll has many outs to him. Protecting Evilswarm Ophion is important and can be determining point between winning and losing. Both Shaddoll Dragon and Shaddoll Lizard can kill Evilswarm Ophion with their flip effects. In addition, Black Dragon Collapserpent and White Dragon Wyverburster are popular main deck card in shaddoll deck. These card enable shaddoll players to spam rank 4 to get rid of our Ophion. Forbidden Chalice can deal with these problems quite effectively.

I have make some small changes to the deck list:
