"Horde" Archetype (written atm)

[CCDCC]

I had some free time, let's turn that into an archetype!

-watches zombie anime-

done!

 

Have yet to playtest it, as to see whether or not it's unbalanced... possible way to balance it include additional conditions on when the cards are allowed to return to hand, weakening the defensive and recycling mechanisms in the traps and spell... so if it's OP, I think I can fix that.

bump, cause I added many new cards, and the archetype is complete now

[CCDCC]

(quite) a few changes, the cards should now be weaker.

[CCDCC]

the r3 xyz's had their destruction avoid effect turned into up to twice per turn. Reason is to force aiming for the r4, gaining the effect multiple times.
