Can I just say I love the art you chose for these cards?  Being out of the loop for the past few years, Idunno what's meta or not, but I don't see a lot of themes revolving around putting cards on the bottom of the deck (general deck manipulation I guess?) and I like that a lot.  It's different, it's interesting, and I have to say feels like something I would play.

Looking at the names, God's Army would have been more fitting lmao. Still, considering that some of those (4 to be exact) play a role involving death... XD

 

A question, Mungkar's effect lets you put it at the bottom of your deck. From where do you put it there from? The hand, or your field, or both. I believe you would need to specify this.

 

That said, I like the concept behind them, with their mechanics and such. XYZ decks built around them might get a little crazy though, and honestly, if Lavalval chain had not been banned now, it would definitely be if this set got printed. Well, I guess their restrictions, such as needing you to discard cards and whatnot should keep them in check.

 

My only complaint however is that for "Death Army", they aren't really all that death-like. They don't kill anything, nor do they revive themselves from death. If anything, "Life Army" would have fitted them more.

Ahhh, I knew I forgot something. It is supposed to activate from field to stop you from doing stupid stuff like +1ing off any summon.

I actually never gave any second thoughts for the name. I liked the sound of Death Army and there you have it. It fits the images I chose, and also is pretty menacing. It also fits the two main bosses, somewhat :v

Well, since Munkar, Nakir, Malik, Azrael and Israfil all have something to do with death, it could work. Jibril tho... I'd say Ridhwan would be a better name to keep the death-y reference.

 

Perhaps, to make it more of a death-like theme, have any spells and traps that support the archetype be heavier on the destruction effects? Something that lets you look at the bottom x cards of your deck, for starters, and destroy a card on the field for each "Death Army" card you find there, perhaps?

i'll consider it :o

 

but really, i'd rather give it a secondary boss that does that, instead of S/T support.
