a secret alliance between duel terminal archtypes? Secret-Alliance archtype *updated*

[I Hate Snatch Steal]

How I got this idea is long and complicated, so I'll skip that part and go straight to the cards.

 

Edit: reduced the card advantage costs on some of the cards becase they were too costly to be useful

If this card is normal summoned: you can pay 1000 life points and discard up to 1 card, then reveal 1 "Secret-Alliance" monster in your hand or shuffle 1 "Secret-Alliance" monster from your graveyard into the deck; special summon 1 "Gem-Knight" or "Vylon" monster from your extra deck whose level is less then or equal to 6 + the number of discarded cards x 6, ignoring its summoning conditions. During your Main Phase: you can shuffle this card from your graveyard into the deck to target 1 face-up "Gem-Knight" or "Vylon" monster you control; that target gains 800 ATK during this turn and if it attacks a defense position monster this turn, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent. You can only use 1 "Secret-Alliance - Trident Knight" effect per turn, and only once that turn.

You can tribute this card, then pay 1000 life points and discard up to 1 card, then reveal 1 "Secret-Alliance" monster in your hand or shuffle 1 other "Secret-Alliance" monster from your graveyard into the deck; special summon 1 "Gem-Knight" or "Vylon" monster from your extra deck whose level is less then or equal to 6 + the number of discarded cards x 6, ignoring its summoning conditions. You can only use the effect of "Secret-Alliance - Summoner Armor" once per turn.

When a card or effect that targets a "Secret-Alliance", "Gem-Knight" and/or "Vylon" monster(s) that you control is activated: you can discard this card; negate that activation and if you do, destroy that card. When your opponent declares a direct attack, If this card was discarded to the graveyard to activate its own effect: you can shuffle this card from your graveyard into the deck; negate that attack. You can only use 1 "Secret-Alliance - Schiller Defender" effect per turn, and only once that turn.

If you have Summoned a "Secret Alliance" monster this turn, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). You can tribute this card; activate 1 or both of these effects (simultaneously). *Add 1 "Secret Alliance" monster from your deck to your hand, except "Secret-Alliance - Meteor Phoenix". *Shuffle 1 other "Secret-Alliance" monster from your graveyard into the deck to target 1 card on the field; destroy that target.

 

What do you think?

They look like these cards could deal some serious damage. The problem being that summoning that extra deck card would make the hole thing OP unless they where ultra rare.

I seriously want to know how you did that rainbow effect on Schiller Defender's artwork.

Also, I think Trident and Armor's effects are a little wonky, if only because of wording. Like, they Summon a monster who's level is equal to 6 + the number of cards discarded x 6; So Discarding 1 card lets you Summon a Level 42 or lower monster?
That, or maybe I just read them wrong. Either way, you could straighten them out a bit, because I get the feeling you made them unintentionally redundant.

1. I used the "curves" tool on paint.net by setting it to RGB and messing with the graph a lot

 

2. The idea was 0 discards = level 6 or lower, and 1 discard = level 12 or lower. If you have a better way to word that that is still concise, I'm all ears.
