The SMACKDOWN archetype monsters are based around some rather cute little monsters that look harmless. That's the idea I want to go for. They can easily be stopped with the Drain cards BUT I think outside of them they can work pretty well. Their ATK ranges from 1000-1800. And all are Level 4. They are not intended to swarm (but they can). Here's their playstyle in a nutshell:

 

They Battle: Discard a SMACKDOWN monster from your hand/send 1 from the top 4 of your deck to the graveyard.= gains that monster's ATK for the battle/destroys the monster it battles.

 

+ When a SMACKDOWN is sent to the graveyard by the effect of another SMACKDOWN, you can pay LP equal to the ATK of the sent monster to activate some additional effect.

 

I've included an additional example to give you an idea of their effects.

[Spoiler=Lore] If you control a monster that does not have "SMACKDOWN" in its card name: you cannot Summon this monster. If this monster is sent to the graveyard by the effect of a "SMACKDOWN" monster, you can Pay 1500 Life Points to search your deck for 1 non-LIGHT "SMACKDOWN" monster; add it to your hand. When this monster would battle a monster with a higher ATK than this card you can activate 1 of the following effects:

* Reveal the top 4 cards of your deck; you can send 1 "SMACKDOWN" monster of those revealed cards to the graveyard to destroy the other monster after the Damage Step.
* Discard 1 "SMACKDOWN" monster in your hand: this card gains ATK equal to the ATK of the discarded monster until after the Damage Step.[/spoiler][/spoiler]

So far, I like the cards this archetype has atm. 

 

But I'm kind of bothered by:

  • The wording (Will investigate for corrections)
  • The LP cost: I think they're too much as a cost for activating the said effects particularly Hero Hero SMACKDOWN's. 

Will keep reviewing when you update cause I like the archetype.

The reason why I include the LP cost is because well, there is a SMACKDOWN that allows you to destroy 2 of your opponent's monsters. And well, you're already hitting your opponent with battle damage. I think its a good trade off for the amount of damage that you can inflict. Say for instance you discard Piggy for Hero Hero and you 'smack' Thunder King Rai-Oh, you're hitting him for 900+1800[2700] at the cost of 1300 life points. If I don't use the LP cost then my monsters are almost SUPER Honest, and there are blatant reasons why Honest is at 1 (though its ATK boost outlasts 1 battle).

Up to now they are not all bad but I think the the LP cost of Hero Hero SMACKDOWN! is a bit too much for just adding a non-LIGHT SMACKDOWN monster to your hand... so I would advise that you'll change that. Another thing concering me (and this is something I really care about) is the pic of the cards, as I see it they are from a manga or something then if so tell me the name and I'll check for better pics for them :)
