Iron Chain Support

[FinalShinobi]

I finally did it. After examining the main theme, thinking up effects from scratch and balancing, I think I finally got these cards down =] For a long time, I've looked at the Iron Chain Archetype and wondered, "Why did they make them to just let them die?" I decided that though they were simply shown in 1 duel, Iron Chains had much more potential in them. So here they are, the Iron Chains!

The Iron Chain Archetype hits your opponent on two fronts, their Deck via various Mill effects and their Life Points via minor Burn effects. (Similar to how Volcanics hit both your opponent's monsters and their Life Points.) A card of importance in their current card pool is "Iron Chain Repairman" and his Grave-summon effect. Knowing that, I've created the rest of these cards in a way that expands the theme and brings it up to modern day strength without shutting out the original cards.

If there are wording mistakes, different ways to word the card effects, or if you feel a card is too overpowered, feel free to post your thoughts (give reasons!)

Further testing needed.

Seems pretty solid.
9/10
Iron Chains had a lot of potential, which is why Konami killed them.

Thank you very much

Iron Chain Repairman alone showed that Iron Chains could thrive if they supported them! >.<

[Derpin2deemax]

I like it! They sound cool and would really help iron chains a lot!

Iron Wasp should be able to SS itself whenever you control any Iron Chain monster, and Titan should swap effects with Wurm. That's my only complaint. You seem to have a good grasp on the deck, and have addressed the major flaws of the deck with the new support.

Overall, amazing job.

Thank you very much I spent a long time looking at what they lacked and thinking up ways to combo with the existing cards =] (Poison Chain would probably be very powerful now ) Getting the wording just right was pretty tough too ^^;

Hmm... I actually kinda like that change to Iron Chain Wasp but as that might end up being too abusive, I may put a Once per turn limit on it. How's that sound? =]

Since it's so easy to Synchro Summon a LV7 using Repairman and Coil, you should include a LV7 Iron Chain Synchro Monster, as an alternative to Black Rose Dragon.
