Let me know what you guys think :]

Gakuto,Shocktrooper of the Shadow Brigade
"If you control 2 or more "Shadow Brigade" monsters,you can Special Summon this card from your hand to the field in face-up Attack position.During the start of your Battle Phase,you can send 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard to have this card gain additional attacks equal to the amount of "Shadow Brigade" monsters you control(excluding this card).If you activate this cards effect,other "Shadow Brigade" monsters you control cannot attack this turn."

Word from Grandprix1:I Dont feel this card is overpowered at all,i will admit its broken in swarm scenarios though,so instead of trying to tweak a built in Special Summon ability i removed it entirely.

Hidesuke,Archer of the Shadow Brigade
"This card cannot be Special Summoned.Once per turn,you can reveal the top card of your Deck and activate the appropriate effect:
-If the revealed card is a Monster card,send it to the Graveyard to destroy 1 face-up monster on the field.
-If the revealed card is a Spell or Trap card,send it to the Graveyard to destroy 1 Spell or Trap card on the field."

Miya,Silencer of the Shadow Brigade
"Once per turn,you can Tribute 2 "Shadow Brigade" monsters you control to select and remove from play 1 card on the field or in your opponents Graveyard."

Reiko,Seductress of the Shadow Brigade
"While this card is in the Graveyard and you control 2 or more "Shadow Brigade" monsters,you can Special Summon it to the field in face-up Attack position.If this card is Special Summoned by its own effect,it cannot be Tributed and when it is removed from the field,it is removed from play."

Word from Grandprix1:Old effect was horribly broken,probably the worst in the entire Deck,you wouldnt think it just reading it but that crap created guranteed OTK scenarios with old-text Miya xD

Kazuyoshi,Reaper of the Shadow Brigade
" If you control 2 or more "Shadow Brigade" monsters,you can Special Summon this card from your hand.If you Tributed 1 or more "Shadow Brigade" monsters during this turn for the effect of a "Shadow Brigade" monster or "The Art of" card,during the End Phase,you can add 1 "Shadow Brigade" monster from your Graveyard to your hand."

Word From Grandprix1:Reduced its DEF by 200,hopefully Chris can stop whining now LOL

Mamoru,Eternal Guard of the Shadow Brigade
" 1 "Shadow Brigade" Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner Monsters

While this card is face-up,your opponent cannot select other "Shadow Brigade" monsters as attack targets.If this card would be destroyed,you can reduce its DEF by 800 instead."

The Art of War:Plains of Shadow Steel
"When a "Shadow Brigade" monster is Special Summoned to the field,place 1 "Shroud" counter on this card(Max 2).You can remove 2 "Shroud" counters from this card to draw 1 card."

Word from Grandprix1:Effect use to be cool,but this deck needs a Rota and frankly i cant think of anything to keep the Rota aspect/make it intresting without it being to OP'd.

The Art of War:Shadow Armament Materialization
"Add 1 Level 4 or lower "Shadow Brigade" monster from your Deck to your hand."

[img]http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/4054/206365.jpg[/img]

The Art of Combat:Dedication to the Blade
"Tribute 1 face-up "Shadow Brigade" monster you control and select 1 card on the field. Destroy the selected card and draw 1 card.If the card you drew by this effect was a "Shadow Brigade" monster,you can reveal it to Special Summon it to the field in face-up Attack position. "

Junpei,Gunslinger of the Shadow Brigade
"1 Tuner + 1 or more "Shadow Brigade" monsters

When this card is successfully Synchro Summoned,destroy Spell and Trap cards equal to the amount of "Shadow Brigade" monsters you control."

These 2 guys werent in the old thread and were new Synchro support i gave to the arch,reworked their effects and i feel they're fine options if you dont wanna go for the staple 8's/6.

Hironobu,Berserker of the Shadow Brigade
"1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner "Shadow Brigade" monsters

If this card would be removed from the field by a card effect,you can Tribute 1 face-up "Shadow Brigade" monster you control to negate the effect. "

Katsunori,Iron Heart of the Shadow Brigade
"1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner "Shadow Brigade" monsters

While you control 2 or more Shadow Brigade monsters(excluding this card),this card cannot be destroyed by card effects.Once per turn,you can Tribute 1 "Shadow Brigade" monster you control to draw 1 card. "

Bumpppppp Dx

Very good concept. I love it. However, Gakuto is too powerful. Make it 2000 attack to weaken it.

And change the text
"If you control 2 or more "Shadow Brigade" monsters,you can Special Summon this card from your hand to the field in face-up Attack position.During the start of your Battle Phase,you can send 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard to have this card gain additional attacks equal to the number of other "Shadow Brigade" monsters you control. If you activate this card's effect,other "Shadow Brigade" monsters you control cannot attack this turn."

Silencer is also broken, but not too bad.

The synchros are not even that good. People would probably synch into non-ShadowBrigade cards, maybe other than the spell or trap destroying card.

You may want to add a field spell. In my view, every deck needs its field spell

Hidesuke is busted as hell
needs to be hit with the ban hammer hard

Nice deck though. Coming from someone who has versued it, good job on cool effects and card names =P
