So I decided to try out Melodious again and... they're alright.  They've got a number of very distinct flaws.

The deck has 2 distinct win conditions, but without any monster searchers it does feel a bit difficult to get your extenders in your hand to make plays.  It's very possible to brick with no way to get 2 monsters on the field at once (which is your goal since their Link 2 can summon 2 monsters from your Deck).  While a simple search card would solve this, I really didn't want to just slap a search card and call it support.  The first card hopefully works well for both strategies, but most importantly it's just another monster to put on board easily so the deck has 12 total starters/extenders (13 if you include "One for One").

The Link was meant to benefit the lock strategy.  Melodious can extend into the deck pretty effectively, but Melodious in hand are kinda just... stuck there.  You can Normal Summon them, but they don't get their beneficial effects.  The Link helps with that while also keeping advantage by letting you recycle your Melodious cards off of your dead "1st Movement Solos"/"Ostinatos".  The floodgate effect is kinda out of left field, but it solidifies the lock making it even more difficult for your opponent to output any monsters that would threaten to break the lock.

The Fusion was a bit of an afterthought.  I generally focused more on the lock strategy, and I did make the card with that in mind (it is Level 5 for Instant Fusion) but it between loading the GY and recycling stuff to Fusion climb, it makes it so you don't have to run the high level main deck monsters for the powerful fusions.
