Shouldn't the Spells have 2 effects to them? I mean, the only reason why the newest Anime Contract deals 2000 damage is because it contains 2 effects; They are implying each effect requires the card to deal 1000 damage. At least, the way I see it. But it's totally fine the way it is.

 

That aside... Gate is really adorable. It's obviously meant for Fusion shenanigans, given the nature of the Archetype/it also sets up for potential Pendulum plays because whatever you use as a Material(assuming you Summon a Pendulum) would just go to your Extra Deck. 'Course, it also gives you a meat shield if you really wanted, which is also a thing.

 

Yami is gimmicky in a good way, since it combos well with Gate/other intended plays, and lets you re-use some of the cooler effects DDs have.

 

Valk is just a boosted version of the exiting Valk, so that's always a plus.
