The "Shade" Archetype

[ZicmaW]

I originally intended this to be a Plant-Type Archetype, but that idea kinda sucked, so yeah.
I designed this Archetype to work best if together, but a lot of the cards can be used in other decks too, making them 'splashable'. This results in many of them being somewhat OP'd, however, so I'd appreciate suggested fixes.
Also, like a real Archetype, some of the cards are just inherently more useful than others, so if something seems useless, it's most likely on purpose.
"Shades" are basically a swarm engine based on remove from play, so they'd work well with cards like "Macro Cosmos".
P.S. I know the artwork looks a lot like Heartless and Nobodies from the Kingdom Hearts series, that's cus I used KH fanart because it fit the concept. Art credit to random people on DeviantArt.

So yeah. Rate, comment, advise, etc. I'll probably be adding more cards to this set if I get enough ratings.
