So I'm guessing Thunder Seahorse is meant to be able to target most of these, but besides the few SS effects/additional summon effects, isn't it a bit slow?

Because like, Vowing works, but that needs no monsters while opponent has at least one, and then the first one needs to have a NS while it's already on the field to be able to tribute it for the additional NS, and only Blazing Scythe seems sort of viable, since it has a decently high attack which is further supported by the effect/field, and battle destruction allows for more SS, but only from GY, so...

I feel like I'm missing something?

Hunder da yo

 

i think i'll make Vowing an extra normal to get around Thunder Seahorse's SS restriction

Toyo pls

Oh right, the Hunders.

Yeah, that'd get them out really quick.

I really like the Xyz, because it /sort of/ gives your opponent options, both of which are bad for them, and forces them to pick, allowing for more creativity in what can actually happen instead of only one effect that can always happen.

The archetype look solid, and I didn't detect any cards or combos that could be too problematic, except for:

Vowing Blade attach effect --> Thunder Cannon detach effect looks really nasty. I would cut the card draw effect from the Xyz to not generate too many pluses.

 

I suspect the ATK boosts/reduction from the Field Spell may be a bit too high, and should greatly discourage the opponent from playing its backrow, Continuous Spell/Traps and whatnot, considering that with 4 cards on the field you are gaining a bonus equal to Solidarity, but without the monotype drawback. Personally, I suggest to drop the ATK changes to 100 x each card so it won't reach overwhelming numbers.

Vowing to Thunder Cannon is basically an MST play that nets you a card. Considering you went through the effort you went through to make the Rank 5, I'd say it's comparatively fair. If it does prove too much during testing I'd gladly change it though.

 

As for the Field Spell, I was originally considering using 100 x each card, buuuuut.... At that point you're better off just running the gain 500 ATK lose 400 DEF attributal field spell. But idk, maybe it is overwhelming.

Well, this archetype's sheet. I'd say it's around the same powerlevel as all the casual trash decks like Superheavies or Melodious or whataver. Time to scrap this, I guess.
