I know I have a lot of OCG mistakes. Please point them out so that I can fix them.

Also, I need ideas for Spells and Traps for this archetype. Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Rulings question: If I were to have a Cloak monster out, and I summon another one, which one dies? Or do they both?

[JLP1701]

Cool Archetype! I like the Tagger OTK.

Is the "Unnamed" monster in Tactician's effect an unmade monster or is it supposed to be a face-down monster?

And when Ball Hog is flipped while there is a face-up Cloaked monster, would one of them die since both their effects would activate once he's flipped? Or am I wrong with the timing? idk

It seems that attacking the face-down monsters to flip them and destroy the face-up Cloaked monster would be a big problem. Maybe that's something you could make a trap for. Maybe something like a trap that negates attacks from your opponent when a face-down monster is an attack target. But you could probably get a couple cards that focus on keeping your monsters face-down.

They both die unless a card responds to the summon with an effect that place one or both of them face-down or removes one of them from the field.[quote name='JLP1701' timestamp='1289027923' post='4765257']

They were originally called the Unnamed but, when I started typing Cloaked sounded a lot more cool. I've gotta change that! Thanks for pointing that out.
[quote]And when Ball Hog is flipped while there is a face-up Cloaked monster, would one of them die since both their effects would activate once he's flipped? Or am I wrong with the timing? idk[/quote]I meant for any effect that was activate had to resolve first so since when Ball Hag is flipped, his effect has to resolve first before one of them is destroyed, no one would be destroyed. It's hard to word.

[/quote]That's meant to be their weakness but yeah, I should put some attack stopping cards.

Oh! I really like Invincible Red Cloak and Cloaked Revelation! I'll totally use those.

I'll tweak Vanishing Act a bit but I love it's name so I definitely use that.

Yeah, I know. I was going to retrain that card for use in this archetype but it's good enough as is.

Edit: Nevermind, I did remake it and copied it basically word for word. Whoops! Well, I still want a card with that name I gave it.

Ok, so I guess I should tell the story of the Red Cloak Brigade.

The Red Cloak Brigade is a freelance mercenary group that is revered world wide for their services. In order to keep up their good name they hide their true origins from the public. The red cloaks that they wear are Demon Collars, a fabric made from the hairs of the Trueblood Demon King, that allows them to communicate with demons. The Red Cloak Brigade is actually deep rooted in sorcery and dark magic and all of them call power from the shadows. The reason you can only have 1 face-up is because the Brigadiers fight with each other a lot so they only send 1 out per mission and they receive support from the shadow walking Cloaked Allies, demons who have been commissioned as secret Brigadiers.

I have renamed all of the monsters and created some new ones. I forgot Kingly's summoning effect so that has been updated. Also, I included BoICs suggestions.
