Spell Slingers... Please Comment

Any changes made to the set, will be updated to the cards in this post and the Change log will be in the form of edits posted at the top.

EDIT: Fixed the issue with the images.

EDIT 2: Modified Beast's Spell/Trap zone eff so it can't special summon himself, and also so you must tribute for the stronger spell slinger monsters. Also lowered him from 1900 to 1700 attack. Modified Doom's Spell/Trap Zone effect to limit the number he specials summons based on your opponents cards (essentially giving him the same effect as Crystal Abundance), and modified both of Devourer's effects to target a card on the field instead of just your opponent's side, and also made the effect non-optional. Changed Ultimate's field spell effect from a 500 ATK/DEF boost / spell slinger to a 300 ATK only boost.

First time posting a custom set. Let me start by thanking all those whose artwork was made available for me to use. I am not an artist, and without them, wouldn't have been able to make this set. That said, this is a 21 card set. The inspiration behind it was Crystal Beasts, though it is a different play style.

so if you had nothing but spell slinger monsters in your hand, would you be able to place them all down in the spell and trap card zones and use all of their abilities from the start of your first turn? i didnt see a limit of how many times you can place a monster down that way. if you can just place them all down. then id say this whole set is op'd for that reason.

individual cards.

i think devourer's monster zone effect should be destroy 1 face-up monster on the field. not just your opponent's. same goes for its spell and trap zone effect. because its a once per turn effect. could kind of get op'd.

dooms effect to special summon it should be more costly, like inflict some life points damage to you for every card you special summon with it or something. or a good amount of life points to pay just to special summon it with the cost you already have.

veils spell and trap zone effect should have a cost. thats a far too good effect to be activated immediately just by placing it down. tribute a spell slinger in the monster card zone or something.

ultimates field spell zones attack increase is too high i think. 500 per spell slinger in your spell and trap card zone.when you can just place them down as you get them.especially with sources effect.just keep drawing them and place them down. op'd.

id change beasts monster zone effect to special summoning a level 4 or lower spell slinger from your spell and trap card zone. but thats just me. the way you have it now, it can be used in any deck to summon 2 monsters in 1 turn. with himself being 1900 atk. ehhh. can be op'd.

otherwise. i really liked the set and your twist off crystal beast. i personally hate them. but yours are great. i like the limit on every monster not being able to be normal summoned or set. good job.

I disagree that veil's spell/trap zone effect is overpowered. As a monster card, it's spell speed 1 meaning that traps could be activated in response to playing it, so I feel it's no more broke that Royal Decree. A player could still chain a card like Dust Tornado to it. As far as limiting the number of cards you can place on the field, I'm against it for the sole reason that while yes, you could conceivably have a lot of effects going turn one, it would cost you your whole hand. Even with source giving you draw power, it can still be deadly to leave your self without a hand. AKA, enter heavy storm.
