These look really nice and support Yubel in a very interesting way.

Samsara Regenerating Lotus works really well with the deck and has a reference to Hate Buster destroying Grand Mole and the original Yubel (with its negation effect).

Geist Grinder Golem fixes the issue with the opponent just leaving their field open (also 2 Yubel forms into Gustav Max can OTK with this monsters, so that is quite easy to reach).

Nightmare Pain is an attack name card actually done right, in that it extend the use to the one in the anime (Yubel dealing battle damage during the own turn), while extending the usage to additional consistency, dealing with bricked Yubel forms in one's hand (trading them for a good card) and making use of the original Yubels upside to its floating, which Terror Incarnate does not have (in that it floats when destroyed from hand).

The other cards are also equally well designed (as in the Spell Chronicle reference, the Super Poly reference, the additional Maindeck Yubel form and the Fusion, which works perfectly with the intended Super-Poly to remove an entire board).

Also these have nice synergies with Dark Beckoning Beast and Opening of the Spirit Gates, since most Yubel monsters (and Samsara Regenerating Lotus) can be summoned with Opening of the Spirit Gates, it can discard bricks, recycle the plethora of Continuous Spell cards (Opening of the Spirit Gates, Nightmare Pain and Mature Chronicle), Dark Beckoning Beast and Opening of the Spirit Gates can loop each other, go into Link 2s (such as S:P Little Night and I:P Masquerena) and Dark Beckoning Beast does not take the Normal Summon away from Samsara Regenerating Lotus.

 

What I do not like is that "Yubel – Das Ewig Liebe Wächter" is summonable by "Dark World Accession", which means that Dark World has a new FTK, which will eventually either get "Dark World Accession" banned (which I really disapprove of, given how much I like Dark World) or the new Yubel Fusion banned (which would remove the whole Super Poly gimmick).

Maybe I am overselling how toxic that is (hopefully, but this looks similar to the Slash Draw FTK), but this time I would prefer (if they have to address this interaction) that they just Errata Yubel to only burn for materials from the field.

Apparently this makes Yubel actually meta?! according to a Youtube video I saw. I'm happy to see Yubel become competitive. Really solid support, and Super-Polymerizing boards is so nasty and fun!
My only nitpick is the new Samsara Lotus being Fiend, I would have liked it being Plant for type diversity, but Fiend works better for the archetype and Sacred Beast support.
