As if someone still cares about the Mask

[b]Return this card to its owner's Deck [u]and add 1 "Mask" Spell or Trap Card from your Deck to you hand, except "The Mask of Remnants".[/u] [u]You cannot activate that card this turn.[/u] If this card is equipped to a monster by the effect of "Masked Beast Des Gardius", switch the control of the equipped monster.[/b]

Just a casual thought that this additional effect (underlined) would be fitting (and certainly helpful!)
You can activate it as long as you have other Mask Spell or Trap Cards in your Deck (otherwise it's stuck in your hand).
Extremely powerful searcher and deck thinner, but since the Mask archetype is not strong anyway...

[b]Select [u]3 cards[/u] from your hand. Your opponent randomly selects 1 card among them. If it is a Monster Card, Special Summon it, [u]ignoring the summoning conditions[/u], and send the remaining 2 cards to the Graveyard. If not, send all the cards to the Graveyard.[/b]

(The original effect is simply terrible...)
Bending the rule quite a bit, allowing you to Special Summon ANY monster ignoring the summoning conditions.
If you have 3 monsters, you are guaranteed to get one on the field.
However, at a total cost of 4 cards (and a 1/3 chance in the worst case), this card should be justified.

Now the problem is summoning Gardius.

A nice boosts for Masks, and much better then the original version, but still problem lies in getting Des Gardius out 3/5

Des Gardius is not that hard to get out, since its required tributes can easily be searched.

While I'm at it, here's another remake
