Grimoire Archetype

[Nephets]

The purpose of the Grimoire Arechtype is to swarm the field with many low level effect monsters, while simultaneously activating effects to damage your opponent in a variety of circumstances, and finally, through Synchro Summon and Fusion Summon, OTK.

Grimoire Monsters are not able to fully OTK on the first turn, and require two to three turns in order to play the finishing move, the cards are meant to be very flexible to any situation, and their weakness is in Negation Effects, and in their potential weakness to OTK's in turn.

All Grimoire Monsters are similar in that each one, when summoned, can gain a different effect based on a cost chosen by the summoner.
All Grimoire Monsters (with the exception of Synchro and Fusion monsters) have 0 atk and 0 def

The point is to massively swarm monsters using their own effect to immobilze any situation, fusion summon to gain more powerful costless effects if possible, and finally synchro for Hyperion, take a removed monster or destroyed monster and special summon, allowing for more fusions and more synchros, including synchroing himself, by reducing his level, and continuosly sending himself from the graveyard to the extra deck, and repeating effects until your field is swarmed with 3500 atk beatsticks, and your opponents field is empty of cards.

I expect many of these cards to be limited, which would slow this deck, but not stop it.
The art will be book-themed, I need an artist.
