Reincarnate Monsters, Old monsters brought to current-meta standards! [11/?]

The Reincarnate Archetype

[spoiler=Introduction]

Hello, YGOcardmaker community, I'm back for another set after a long hiatus from making cards. This set takes old cards and cards seen in the original YGO series and transforms them into an archetype that can operate in the current meta. "Reincarnate" monsters follow summoning conditions similar to Malefic monsters while using some of the characters' favorite cards as fodder (Summoned Skull, Jinzo, Exodia, Etc).

 

The deck operates on fast summoning and synergy between Reincarnate cards while controlling their fodder through smart deck construction. Reincarnate monsters are strong in their own right and can become even stronger when their effects are used together. Reincarnate spells compliment the monsters' effects by controlling the deck and hand to keep your fodder in the deck where it belongs.

 

Postive aspects of this archetype include fast summoning, high synergy, large monster pool, strong stats, and XYZ toolbox compatibility.

 

Downsides of this archetype include running some dead draw cards as fodder for Reincarnate monsters, summoning limits to only "Reincarnate" monsters, and all-or-nothing field rushing playstyle.

 

Please post comments and concerns below. Thanks for viewing!

EDIT: Very disappointed with the admin's decision to move this from advanced multiples to casual multiples. Person who moved it obviously did not take time to read any of the cards effects or recognize their viability. These are, pursuant to Rule 2 in the advanced cards section,
II. 2 - What kind of cards should I post in RC?
"As previously said, cards that are realistic and balanced. Pop Culture Cards are also welcome here, provided you designed them with balance and realism in mind (or at least make an attempt to design them at a level suitable for Advanced/RC)."
 
Besides the fact that the current TCG/OCG already reuses cards seen in the shows to construct new archetypes (see: Assault Mode archetype, Malefic archtetype, Blue Eyes archetype, Red Eyes archetype), moving my cards without any warning is not only discouraging to the custom card community as a whole, but also unprofessional. It took me over half an hour to reformat this post and post it here. Please reconsider your decision according to the community rules.
