Archtype based around Spirit monsters

[Charlelot]

Hey there,

 

Since I began playing Yu-Gi-Oh, one of my favorite archtype (if you can call it that) has always been Spirits. Sadly, despite getting a few new cards over the years, Spirits have never been competitive since the good old days of Yata-Lock. Lately, I've been looking at other archtypes for ideas that would work for a modern Spirit archtype. This is what I have come up so far. Let me know what you guys think.

I feel as though you did a great job designing these cards. I can see it working like a mixture of Heralds and Infernoids with a bit of a twist. I especially like the no limit effect of the Temple card and overall you did a good job.
