Not the OP, but I crafted and gave the deck a try. The point of the deck is to start up with melodious engine that fishes out negates most of the time, then play into the Vaylantz and use the normal summon for fossil dyna(searchable by granite); since the two engines don't use their normal summon at all in practice. For going first, secret village is also a priority, which is searchable with a pendulum summoned majesty pegasus. Pegasus is searchable by an electrumite adding it to the ED and use a pop to take it back. Disablaster didn't come up much in my experience, since most players know how to play around it...unless they're playing plant pile that somehow gets something of theirs negated due to how full their boards are. The performapals have always been part of Vaylantz decks, and they're also a necessity here since duelist extraordinaire can protect fossil dyna from being run over by a normal summon. The only hard thing of the deck is balancing out the melodious monsters and making sure your Vaylantz monsters aren't blocked by their positions on the board. The deck does well going first or second, since the handtrap ratio was pretty manageable. On first turns, Your electrumite or Arktos pop targets can go on the cards you don't need in pendulum zones, or the field spells(especially Konig wissen that is on your field, since having both of the field spells on means the opponent can use it against you too.) Hope this helps.
