[Remix Archetypes] Mini-Knights!

[R3mixKillah]

I don't think i need to say much. This was actually a little set i created almost a year ago so its not new to me, however i never posted it on a forum before so its completely new to you guys. I didn't put as much work as you would think given the time i made this but i feel like i should post it now since i constantly checked to see how well they work with eachother. CnC is appreciated and welcome.

Guardian Knight is powerful as all hell and way too broken, and its Graveyard effect can be used by any deck (just go with a foolish burial, and boom! Solemn Judgement that doesn't cost half your lifepoints!).

I recommend a few things to fix this...

1. Make it so that the effect only works if you have another Mini-Knight monster in your Graveyard, except for Guardian Knight. This way, this effect can't be splashable on any deck out there. In addition, it also slows Guardian Knight down, making its effect more balanced.

2. Make its effect only negate, but not destroy. This way, it can't insta pop a monster like a ticking solemn judgement.

3. It searches too many things. I recommend you change the text so that it can only search monsters. It's other effect is already too good as is, regardless.

4. A few OCG errors, including capitalization (Graveyard and Deck are capitalized), as well as punctuation.

So overall... I'd change the text to this...

When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can add 1 "Mini Knight" monster from your Deck to your hand, except "Mini Knight - Guardian Knight". During either player's turn: If this card is in your graveyard and the effect of a Spell, Trap, or Effect monster's effect activates, you can banish this card from your graveyard; Negate that effect. You can only use this effect of "Mini Knight - Guardian Knight" once per turn, and only if you have another "Mini Knight" monster in your Graveyard, except "Mini Knight - Guardian Knight". If this card is attached to a rank 1 Xyz monster as an Xyz material, that monster gains the following effect: "Once only, when your opponent activates a card or effect you can negate the effect".

The other cards seem alright. The boss monsters seem interesting, but without testing these cards out in a duel we can't say for sure if they're balanced or not. To me, they look strong, but not broken.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll change right away. I've worked on so many cards that i'm going to post in the near-future that it completely slipped off my mind that you can just splash it in any deck (despite me looking at it LITERALLY like 50 times before posting this). Appreciated it that you told me about it.

 

EDIT: Fixed the approriate changes based on your suggestion, also i nerfed Mini Knight - Divinity Knight because i feel like he might be too strong after taking another look at him.
