You can only use each effect of "Wind-up Snake" once per turn:

(1) When a "Wind-up" monster is Normal or Special Summoned to your side of the field: You can discard this card; Set 1 "Zenmai" or "Wind-up" Spell/Trap card directly from your Deck.

(2) When this card is Summoned: You can target 2 "Wind-up" monsters you control; change one of their Levels to the current Level of the other, until the End Phase.

 

 

I've been playing wind-ups recently and i noticed they need a searcher for their spells/traps. Its kind hard to pull the combos when you have no Factory on the field :(.  Anyway, any thoughts?

No.

 

Being able to search Wind-Up Factory is completely and totally unfair.

 

Zenmai S/T is one thing, WU S/T is just asking for trouble, and absolutely awful design, especially as Rat + This = A R3 + search, and if Zenmaity ever comes back/OCG is taken into account, that is straight up stupid design, as it sets you up for Shark Magician as well, potentially.

 

Second effect seems fine, but that first one... no, that's too much potential to snowball the gamestate.

Now I really haven't played or faced Wind-Ups enough to know how devastating the (1) effect is, but if a Factory search in this manor is really that broken, might I suggest the following?

 

(1) When a "Wind-up" monster is Normal or Special Summoned to your side of the field: You can discard this card; Set 1 "Zenmai" or "Wind-up" Spell/Trap card directly from your Deck, but it cannot be activated during the turn it was Set this way.

 

That way it is kinda a -2 just to Set Factory, and it gives your opponent a chance to clear it.  It also gives a bit more incentive to Set a Zenmai trap (as there are no wind-up traps) since the added restriction basically as no effect on it.

You make it sound like BA won't just rape your ass with their constant chainable trap line up or that Qliphorts give a fuck about xYz with searchable skill drain and regular skill drain or that Heros would allows you to plus off any of this or that Necloth would give a flying fuck..power creep is cheap

You make it sound like BA is a suitable argument in design.
