Bump+Added to this.

[Toffee.]

Decided to trim the fat, start over(more or less), and cut this down to like 10 cards.
Figured it would make things easier.

Great Job!

[Toffee.]

Decided to add to this.

Seeing all these Duel Masters images again makes me smile out of nostalgia. Not like the source cards were any good, but still.

If this card is destroyed by your opponent's card (either by battle or card effect): You can Special Summon 1 "Skelebones Wandering Deadman" from your Deck.[/spoiler]

Hmm, a recurring motif of 0/0 EARTH Zombies that boost themselves and each other...?

You can only Special Summon 1 "Skelebones Tunneling Diggerman Digging Tunnelman" this way once per turn.

•As long as this card remains face-up on the field, All face-up "Skelebones" monsters you control gain 1000 ATK.[/spoiler]

If it's a standalone sentence, an effect is continuous and will constantly apply if the card is face-up on the field. Contrast with...

 

[spoiler Mammoth Tuskman]You can Tribute this card: Special Summon 1 "Skelebones" monster from your Deck, except "Skelebones Mammoth Tuskman", and if you do, activate the following effect:
•All face-up "Skelebones" monsters you currently control gain 1000 ATK.[/spoiler]

...this, where it's a triggered lingering effect.

If this card is destroyed by your opponent's card (either by battle or card effect): Add to your hand 1 "Skelebones" monster from your Deck to your hand.[/spoiler]

I can already see a combo forming: Tuskman into Blademan, pulling out Tuskman, searching for another Blademan...

 

[spoiler Melting Oozeman]If this card is Normal Summoned: You can add to your hand 1 "Skelebones" card from your Deck to your hand. You cannot conduct your Battle Phase the turn you activate this effect. You can Tribute this card and target 1 "Skelebones" monster in your Graveyard: Special Summon it.

Tuskman sacs into Blademan, SS Oozeman, sac to revive Tuskman, which in turn sacs into Blademan...

 

Fortunately, that one-effect-per-copy-per-turn limit keeps Oozeman from looping almost endlessly with Tuskman.

 

[spoiler Tactical Brainman]During either player's turn: You can discard this card and target 1 face-up "Skelebones" monster you control: It gains 1000 ATK until the End Phase. This effect of "Skelebones Tactical Brainman" can only be activated once per turn. If this card is flipped face-up: Add to your hand 1 "Skelebones" Spell/Trap card from your Deck to your hand.[/spoiler]

A temporary boost that has more activation opportunities than Honest or Kalut? Are there any ways to quickly exploit this?

 

...Fortunately, not yet.

 

[spoiler Omni Chimeraman]"Skelebones Wandering Deadman" + 1 "Skelebones" monster.

If this card is destroyed by your opponent's card effect: You can target up to 2 cards on the field; return them to the Deck. You can only control 1 "Skelebones Omni Chimeraman".[/spoiler]

I was starting to worry that Wandering Deadman would be overshadowed, but I see you've made a reason for people to run him.

 

Though it doesn't stop the Deck from spamming Rank 4s.

 

[spoiler Infesting Plague]If you activate When this card is activated: Send 1 "Skelebones" monster from your hand to the Graveyard, then, add to your hand 1 "Skelebones" monster from your Deck to your hand. All face-up "Skelebones" monsters you control gain 1000 ATK. You can only control 1 "Skelebones Infesting Plague".[/spoiler]

Pseudo-Tenki for Skelebones that can also be tutored and provides a massive ATK boost. Fortunately, no Skelebones I see can revive without restriction. This can easily snowball...

 

[spoiler Spinning Chainsaw]Equip only to a face-up "Skelebones" monster. The equipped monster gains 1000 ATK.

Tutoring cards into more tutors into even more tutor shenanigans. I can hear Rai-Oh salivating...

If this Set card is destroyed by your opponent's card effect: You can target 1 "Skelebones" monster in your Graveyard; add it to your hand.[/spoiler]

 

To summarize this archetype: tutor, revive, tutor, almost ad-nauseam. Never mind their growing ATK stats, they can cough out Rank 4s at roughly the same caliber as Heraldics.
