While I think I understand the strategy, can I get an in-depth explanation of the archetype?

There is not much to know really, the deck type is best used as a controled based deck that needs field control at all times. This deck is also very slow, so cards like Thunder King help it a lot because it slows the duel down, and you can win from using it with your backrow protection very quickly, heck I've won duel with just thunder king before. If you play the deck ypu should pick it up quickly, but it takes time to master.

I think my favorite GB variant is Dimensional Glads.

Since Glad Beasts rarely hit the Grave if played correctly, teching in 2-3 Dimensional Fissure interrupts a lot of meta decks' plays without really bothering you at all.

I like Eatos Glads, 2500 free Beaters are fun.

Should I just replace Warnings with BTH if I don't have Warning?

[Yoshi777]

Yup, both are good imo.
