So I got the idea here because both Reptiles and Spirits needed some lovin', so I made these. Searchable by Feral Imp, makes using Kage almost too easy, and sets up Worm Yagan/ Xex plays. There aren't too many reptiles that use eachother as costs, so I think that this set is relatively safe in terms of using their grave effs. 

 

So, CnC anyone?

Bump ;)?

No love for these lil lizards?

I really wanted to comment on this since the first day. I've been deciding what to say.

 

I like the neat "sent to the Graveyard" gimmick, but I only see one Gecko who can actually send them to the Graveyard, and looking through other reptiles, I can't seem to find another one which gets the job done. Also, the only means to swarm is Crested (Although Kagetokage is a thing, so maybe that's not a big deal.) It's an interesting self-containted archetype, although I wish there was more support. I really love the idea. I hope someone can comment with more to say than this :)

Thank you. The idea with the sending to grave was taken after atlanteans. So with the way I've made it, you can activate them off of Xyz monster like Feral Imp and Iguanakami. I and yes, there aren't really that many swarm-y things to do, but Feral Imp is the MVP of any Reptile-based deck, so having 2 is a very good play.
