Swift Wings

[JLP1701]

This is my Winged Beast Archtype. Most of them give you control over your Deck by letting you place cards on the top of it, or by adding cards to your hand. The monsters are all fairly weak, but have good effects to make up for it. I am still working on them, so any advice would be appreciated.

You could make the effects optional; there are sometimes we don't want to skip a draw just to get a Swift Wing monster.

Otherwise, very balanced cards, but you could make a LVL 4 beater of 1900 or so ATK.

Thanks for the comment. I'm making more cards so I will definitely include a Lv 4 like that.
