Right, lets get started.

I always enjoy looking at Archetypes. Most are pretty damn original and interesting.

Stygian Demention - First of all, unsure about use of 'Demention'. Did you mean Dimension? The card seems like your average field card, although I'd rather see it bring more effects in to play rather than the basic ATK/DEF boost. OCG looks good and I really like the pic.

Stygian Archer - It's pretty much an invincible Burn monster. Even so, it looks like it needs Stygian Demention to help it bring the Burn effect into play. OCG looks good still. Pic isn't the greatest but it still fits the bill. Stats seem a little low for a Level 4. A 400/500 boost to both stats would probably help it along. As it is, invincible or not, you'll probably struggle to get anything out of it.

So far, it seems like a basic Archetype, but I think there are signs there that this could be quite good. Just keep at it.
7/10

Also, I'm kinda curious where the name 'Stygian' came from. Any chance you could enlighten me?

EDIT - New cards. Bear with me a sec so I can check them out and give my review.

Stygian Soldier - Nice looking card, sort of a defence focus. You could probably make some good support off of it. Makes for a good defence card when you couple it up with the 500 DEF boost from Demention, but I think that the invincible effect + high DEF + DEF boost starts to overpower it for a Level 3. Pic is awesome, OCG looks odd but I don't know why.

Stygian Sorceror - I'm a bit disappointed with this one. Invincible AND a cert to kill anything it battles! (although I'm sure there will be a few exceptions to this). Sorry to say, but it's OP'd. Good ATK and DEF (for a Level 4) only help to make it easier for him to clear out anything he battles. Pic again is good, for OCG [b]D[/b]amage [b]S[/b]tep capitalization is the only problem I see.

Stygian Dragon - You'd probably be better off making sure a Stygian Tuner is involved somewhere, it would benefit the Archetype. The effect seems to be on the OP'd side. It's basically a Synchro Monster Reborn, as there is only a somewhat minimal cost to using the effect. Stats seem a touch low for a Level 7, pic is good and I can't notice any problems with OCG.

The new cards have been a letdown. I still think that this could be a good Archetype, but the most recent cards all are around the OP'd area. Aside from effects and stats though, the OCG has been pretty good and some of the pics are very impressive, but I think more work needs to go into the effects.

4/10 for latest cards, 5/10 as a whole.

Stygian's Japanese equivalent is Hell. The TCG Stygian monsters are called Hell Patrol in Japanese.

Stygian is already an archetype. Therefore I'm going to treat this as support. On that, that makes your cards incorrect support. Stygian are fiends. Also Stygian do not have a standard base effect.

Your first card is rather lame. It's nothing Special and actually a waste of Deck space.

Your second card, again rather lame effect. The parenthesis is unnecessary but not incorrect. It's old OCG. Rather weak and not low runablility. It's UP with such low ATK. It's fine for it to have at least up to 1600.

Your third card is again lame and this time I see 0 playability. It could be in Stall but there are much better cards.

Your fourth card is rather lame. Not OP, there is Blackwing Armor Master.

Your fifth card is vastly OP. It's a Monster Reborn (which is Limited to 1) and can easily be abused in a DD deck or Macro. I have no suggestions on keeping that effect while balancing it.

Overall, idea is rather weak and playability is rather low.
