With regards to the intended gimmick...

Bassols is silly, because Dian with piercing damage would be amusing.
Fountain makes Acid a Harpie Feather Duster that can't be chained to, so that's always a potent move.
Inferno; LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Ray works nicely with Koga and can screw over the opponent completely cuz' they can't do shit to stop your attacks/etc.
Gust; See Inferno, but Gust is better then Inferno.
Crow- Because of kanji issues, and the way you wrote it, HERO =/= Hero. So you can only grab monsters, and not cards like Hero Lives.

Yes. Yes it would. :'D

 

Fountain makes Acid a Harpie Feather Duster that can't be chained to, so that's always a potent move.

That was the intended purposes. Yes.

 

Inferno; LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

D4: Doublaster Draws for Days, Dude

 

Ray works nicely with Koga and can screw over the opponent completely cuz' they can't do shit to stop your attacks/etc.

Yeah, and I think it might be the tamest of all the effects, tbh.

 

Gust; See Inferno, but Gust is better then Inferno.

I would have compared it more to the opposite of Ray, since it's about making sure you can attack than otherwise. Maybe I should have focused on this effect complementing Divine Wind's other effect?

 

Crow- Because of kanji issues, and the way you wrote it, HERO =/= Hero. So you can only grab monsters, and not cards like Hero Lives.

Changing it to say monster instead of card since that's what I'd want anyway.

Yeah, I was wondering if whether making the Effect Masked Heroes basically double up the powers of the Masked Fusions was too much, but considering they don't do much now, I figured it wouldn't actually be TOO much of an increase in power.

 

Basically, the idea was to offer monsters that are alternatives to what is currently used, which may not be the case with cards like Shadow Mist or even Neos Alius (due to the gemini engine). I figure Gust, Fountain, Inferno, and Bassols would see play. Without Stratos, Gust would, and perhaps it would otherwise, but I think Crow just remains unneeded in decks since Shadow Mist.
