"Thaumaturgists"? WTF is this?! But sounds nice[/quote]

It literally translates to "Miracle Worker", coming from the greek word "thauma", which means "miracle" or "marvel". It's also used in Terry Pratchett's "Discworld" novels... that's where I know it from.

My first Spellcaster Archtype was called "Archmage". Then they just came
with odd names: Archmage - Drizzt, Archmage - Sorcerer...

Find most your images, then find a common factor within those
images and base your archtype on that theme.

Name structure of my archetype will be like:

[XXX] - Eon the Brave

That's one great idea.

I also like the Thaumaturgists, but I think a Egyptian term may fit better to YGO than a Greek one. What about...
Thothists?
Hight Priests of Thoth?
Thoth is the Egyptian god for the arts of magic and the judgement of the dead, author of all works of magic and recognizes as the scribe of the gods who is allowed to enter the underworld (and maybe who is allowed to leave?).

I'm currently in the making of a Spellcaster archetype as well, named Mysterious Magicians. They're main concept is as well based on Spell Counters, but with 26 different monsters, they have a bunch of different strategies. They can be used for hand control, field control, beatdown, etc. The reason I named it Mysterious Magicians is some of the pictures are quite Mysterious.

For your name though, seeing as they involve Spell Counters and the Graveyard, how about...

Decaying Wizards?
Wizards of the Decayed?
Mages of Death?
Magicians of Death?
Death Magicians?
Grave Mages?

This is the best I could think of right now...I like Spoons suggestion for the archetype name being Witch Doctors though. Maybe you can try that one out. Or perhaps maybe one of the suggestions I gave? :D
