Custom Archetype: Duckt

[The2kGod Raah]

I was researching a little about the cards in yugioh and Ducks do not get love alot in yugioh. There is are so many bird archetypes but their is no duck archetype, so I have made one. Introducing Duckt: The theme around the archetype is Ducks in the Judicial System. Each monster's name is a pun on the occupation that they are such as a Detective being Ducktective, or a Paramedic named ParameDuct, and more. Also the name of the archetype is a call to something one might say if they were to go to court.

The Deck is comprised of 4 Main Deck monsters, and 3 Spells (1 each of normal, continous, and quick-play). Like most of the bird archetypes in yugioh I kept the Deck to be good at conducting multiple normal summons per turn. The four main deck monsters names are Ducktective, ParameDuct, ProseDucktor, and the Boss monster AdjuDucktator. The spells names don't have too much meaning except they are also puns. The normal spell is named "In a PreDucktament!!", the continuous spell "VerDuckt!!" and the Quick-Play spell is named "Code of ConDuckt?!" Each monster has a Normal Summon effect , and a return from banished effect as well as the effect "If your opponent activates a card or effect (Quick Effect): You can banish this card from your hand and banish 1 "Duckt" monster from your Deck; [effect] while the Main boss monster has it able to banish from field as well. The main weakness in the archetype is that 1) You cannot activate monster effects from the hand of monsters other than Duckt monsters the turn you use either effect, and their are only 4 duckt monsters which means it is hard to get alot of them into the hand for that effect. I wanted to make the archetype strong but have weaknesses so I want as much feedback to make this happen as possible. I don't have the art for the cards so I have just given the Text. Here they are:

This is a very good start, but you must ask yourself:

• What mechanic(s) does this archetype have, if any?
• What is the goal that this archetype intend to achieve, if any?

Other than that, it's a good start.
