"Buster Warrior" support cards + some more

[JairoLeyn100]

I'm back once more, and this time I came up with some support cards of my own for my favourite dragon slayer, "Buster Blader" (along with 2 Spells that would benefit any "Warrior + Equip Spell" Deck or Archetype). I kinda like this Archetype's official cards (I even made a Deck with it), but I couldn't help but notice some flaws and/or loopholes in it. So I decided to come up with these cards to give this Archetype a posible different direction maybe. Let me know if you like them and/or if you have some advice/suggestion to give me about any of thede cards, and I hope you enjoy:

OMG, why so many caaaaards, hard to review T_T. I'll try to be short.

Drake Slayer - Seems perfect

Scale Piercer -Where's da HOPT? Alright, it's from the hand, but it seems like it can swarm and destroy backrow too easily?

Sacred Paladin - Alrighty, but "banish it once it leaves the field" ---> banish it when it leaves the field.

Brave Challenger - Normally (if not always), this kind of effects follows a certain structure. During your Main Phase, you can Normal Summon "Buster Blader" monster in addition to your Normal Summon/Set. (You can only gain this effect once per turn.)

Tail Blade Shogun - *Trap: If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage. Spell's effect is permanent? Welp... IDK I guess it's fine, the monster is not that dangerous. It could last until the end of the next turn, but that's just me being annoying xD

Buster Dragon Blader - It would be quite alright, but it has no restrictions. "During the Battle Phase" it says. So you can go and bomb every single set card your opponent controls and negate effects as many times as you'd like. "You can only use each effect of "Buster Dragon Blader once per turn" pls.

Inheritance - I'm not entirely familiarized with Destruction Sword/Buster Blader archetypes, but none of them can equip themselves with stuff from GY, can they? I have to speak with a ration of ignorance here, so bear with me, but isn't Sacred Fist of the Destruction the only member in the archetype that is able to make use of this "cards that aren't Equips become archetypal mons, then they can be equipped and proceed to pull off their other effects". IDK, seems a frail strategy unless I'm missing something, which is probably the case. Final effect seems too convenient if indeed I'm not seeing something. Same turn you equip, you send it to the GY and replace it with whichever archetypal card (not even mon restricted) of your liking, adn this is from Deck or GY O_O''. I think the card should stay on the field at least one turn for this to work. If in truth this is restricted to the Xyz, then nvm.

Dark Impact - More or less the above, but overall more balanced

Royal Impact - Yeah, why not? xD

Finisher Impact - Looks good enough The direct damage is high enough to warrant those limitations, I think it's well balanced

Infernal Sword - Welp, violent. Made me remember the times of the Axe of Despair (+1000 ATK, OMG). Powercreep is powercreep, this card is fine being hella stronger (and yet, reserved for BBs)

Shield - Opposed to the above, this one is generic, is that intended? Btw, when combined with Blade Shogun that has obtained "unaffected by your opponent's card effects" you get a completely invulnerable mon, unless the opponent finds a way to Tribue/use it as material. That's no good.

Rank-Up - Looks good with capital G. Forgot to mention it earlier, but use GY instead of Graveyard.

Wut? I still have 9 cards to review? OMG, I need to eat lol. Later!

Thanks. Take your time too, no need to rush things. Also about both "Inheritance", the Buster Blader/Destruction Sword Archetype has a Synchro monster, "Buster Dragon", which allows the user to, during the opponent's turn, target 1 "Destruction Sword" monster in the GY, and equip it to a "Buster Blader" the user controls. Each "Destruction Sword" monster has two effects, which can be used or are activated while they are equipped to a monster. For example: "Dragon Buster Destruction Sword" (You can target 1 "Buster Blader" you control; equip this monster from your hand or your side of the field to that target. While this card is equipped to a monster, your opponent cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck. While this card is equipped to a monster: You can Special Summon this equipped card. You can only use this effect of "Dragon Buster Destruction Sword" once per turn).
