You could play Egyptian god suship, lines are pretty straightforward, it’s decently recursive and not competitive more low rogue. Or if you want a fun tricky deck, I’ve been getting into weather painter and it’s barely rogue but sometimes just pops off.

Hmm, good question. A deck that I would call "straightforward" is Floowandereeze . . . but I'm not sure you'll make many friends at locals if you play it!

Maybe try Swordsoul or Gold Pride? Swordsoul generally sets up two powerful synchros as an end board and feels strong but fair to play against. Gold Pride is just a cool deck with fun thematics that can still flex its muscles a bit.
