For a long time, the crossride of CEO Amaterasu has been ridiculed for its mediocre Limit Break, to the point that its existence is ignored. Goddess of the Sun, Amaterasu needed to hit to activate its skill, but the Limit Break meant that it would not be available until the opponent was at a point that the attack would be guarded regardless, or its owner was at a huge disadvantage and would have trouble making use of its minimal gains. It seemed as if its only advantage was its 13,000 defense, but without any offensive presence, a deck focused on it would be hard-pressed to win games.
However, the Amaterasu deck has gained the offensive presence it has needed thanks to the new Oracle Think Tank Legion, Goddess of the Treasure Mirror, Ohirume. Moreover, an Amaterasu deck still has access to the powerful draw power in Oracle Think Tank, and can still take advantage of these cards to keep up the formidable defenses that come with a crossride deck. This allows the deck to maintain a good offense and defense makes it a formidable threat.

The primary focus of the deck is to take advantage of the draw abilities in Oracle Think Tank. Maiden of Libra and Blue Scale Deer both allow the user to draw more cards when they hit, setting up pressure against the opponent that is amplified by the addition of 8 Stand Triggers. Both cards rely on different things to function and therefore rarely overlap. Their costs are mitigated even further by Ohirume's skill, which can effectively flip a damage face-up and Soulcharge, especially since the divination is guaranteed by CEO Amaterasu's skill, which also activates when it is the Legion Mate. Ohirume's skill can also set up for Amaterasu's Megablast skill, but it should not be a skill to aim for; Ohirume cannot use her skill once all the Counterblast is filled up and the rest of the game will be limited.
Goddess of the Sun, Amaterasu helps out the deck even more by helping you conserve guard with its 13,000 base power during the opponents' turn, allowing you to conserve guard from the many incoming attacks. It is an excellent followup ride after Ohirume, since CEO Amaterasu will be readily available due to Ohirume entering Legion, granting additional defense to bunker down for the grind game. If a situation occurs where Goddess of the Sun, Amaterasu must be played first, do not fret too much, as Battle Sister, Lollipop's skill can allow for an early Limit Break that can search out a Perfect Guard or even Ohirume to ride next turn. Eclair also helps mitigate this problem by giving an extra chance for a favorable Grade 3 to ride.
Overall, the Amaterasu deck is very fun to play, and the multiple draw skills can make it very frustrating for an opponent as they struggle to break through your mounting defenses and you whittle down the opponent's resources with your mix of critical and stand triggers. Try it out! It just might surprise you how effective it is.
