There are a few problems I would like to address:

 

1.  Mind Bouldar and Mine Roubarr grabbing monsters off of being SS'd seems silly to me.

2.  Revival of the Mine should not be able to search itself, cuz then you can basically go Revival -> Revivial -> Revival -> card.

3.  Protection of the Mine is waaaaaay too good.  It's a War Chariot on crack that when combined with Canyon of Giants turns into a virtual lock.

 

SO, my suggestions are as follows:

 

1.  Make Roubarr only work when it's NS'd.

2.  Make Revival unable to search itself.

3.  Tone Protection down so that it only negates monster OR s/ts and (preferably) have it only negate the effect, not destroying the card.

 

The main gripe I have with the set is that it seems to solely be focused on spamming the field with grunts to be immediately changed into Xyz.  The set feels hollow, and the little guys have almost no substance by themselves.  They may as well be vanillas that can spam the crap out of each other.

 

What I would like to see happen is more focus on switching the Mines' ATK and DEF.  Perhaps make a few Mine monsters that can do that?  You already have crazy consistency, so I think you can afford to focus on power and making the deck fun to play.

For a new member though, they aren't half bad.  I'm looking forward to seeing more of your stuff in the future.

Came in expecting

 

Was disappointing to see something that is quite abusable.

Simply restricting their effects to "0 ATK Monsters" is unbelievably dangerous. Being able to Search out Things like Maiden, Labradorite, Batteryman AAA, and Other Tuners with 0 ATK on a whim is just SCREAMING to be abused. At least you negated effects, otherwise...

Still, the ability to fetch tuners easily with these basically makes it from a Rank 4 Spam deck into a Synchro Spam deck. Or both. Both is even worse.

If you want to keep them to their own archetype for this reason, just make it 0 ATK Rocks, or something.

I admit I did not think much when I had the idea of ​​this archetype. I believe that thinking about something with Rock-type monsters, and as most of them have lower ATK than DEF, I thought of ATK 0 (because the flip effects that has on many Rock-type monsters, but  would be similar to Ghostrick. ..).
But I had no idea the Archetype name of this card . After the archetype was posted I found that this card existed, and i decided not change over the name.
