My big problem with this archetype is:

1. SS all of them during the Battle Phase.

2. Play Skill Drain

3. All the R4nks!

4. ???

5. Profit.

 

Maybe make a couple more Normal Summonable ones, And make it so you can only SS them if you control one already.

You know what else can vomit out their entire hand and make all of the Rank 4s? Igknights, who don't even have to wait a whole turn and use an unsearchable Limited trap, and no one plays them. Rank 4s aren't that powerful nowadays, sacrificing a whole turn is really crippling in this meta, and if Yosenjus would rather keep their powerful recyclable control monsters bouncing around instead of xyz with them, I'm pretty sure the Shadows are worth keeping around too.

Ahem, so let's start:

 

"Archetype of Yosenju-esque Beast-Warriors that bounce around everywhere and aim to kill your opponent during their own battle phase."

 

Well, atleast you weren't kidding that your opponent would kill themself in the end. These guys are even more potent than Psyframes.

 

Silverclaw: It's a 2000 on-spot Gravity Warrior that suddenly appears during the BP, which will atleast force 1 monster your opponent controls in DEF Position to attack. Technically, this card is completely fine by itself imo, but the troubling part happens when it works with the other cards. I'll bring it up later.
