Well, I haven't heard much of or seen Cardfight: Vanguard, so I do not know that game at all lol. However, I really like the name and the idea behind them of spamming Synchros (even thought we have a lot of those archetypes, like X-sabers and Six sams to just name 2) we should bring back a little. However, I will give my evaluations on the cards individually:[list=1]
[*][u][i][b]Phantom Blaster Overlord:[/b][/i][/u] Nice card, but how can you bring him out? The only Synchros you have are a Level 2 tuner, and a Level 8 and Level 10 and it requires 2 or more of the non-tuner Synchros. And the effect of revival is pretty broken. I would only allow it to destroy 1 card and banish a paladin instead, just to even out the effect and the shear size of this boss monster (similar to the [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Aesir"]Nordic Gods[/url]).
[*][b][i][u]Phantom Blaster Dragon:[/u][/i][/b] Basically a [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Shooting_Star_Dragon"]Shooting Star Dragon[/url] with a nice spell/trap negation. Balancing the Summoning conditions with its effect is a good in my opinion. Maybe lower its ATK a little for perfection.
[*][u][b][i]Shadow Paladin Blaster:[/i][/b][/u] I like the effect of changing battle positions and inflicting piercing. However, Drawing 2 cards and then discarding 1 Paladin is a little OPed. I would suggest if you cant discard a paladin have a backfire effect like discarding the cards you drew or something.
[*][b][u][i]Shadow Paladin Dark Manipulator:[/i][/u][/b] Kinda like a [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Formula_Synchron"]Formula Syhncron[/url] for you archetype. However, the ability of being unaffected by S/T for the Synchro Monster should last until the End Phase because those monsters need to be Summoned using this card. Other than that, nice card.
[*][b][u][i]Shadow Paladin Fallen Angel:[/i][/u][/b] I like this card. Prett balanced .
[*][u][i][b]Shadow Paladin Junior Sage:[/b][/i][/u] This card is good except it should it should only be able to Special Summon a Paladin if it is sent to the Grave for the summon of a Paladin Synchro monster instead.
[*][b][u][i]Shadow Paladin Nightmare Painter:[/i][/u][/b] I am starting to feel like this a newer archetype like the Nordics because this card mimics the effect of the [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Tanngrisnir_of_the_Nordic_Beasts"]White Goat from the Nordic Beasts[/url]. Otherwise, nice card for Synchroing Level 8's.
[*][b][i][u]Shadow Paladin Silent Assassin:[/u][/i][/b][url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Tyr_of_the_Nordic_Champions"]Tyr[/url] for the Paladins...wishing you had more original Ideas.
[*][b][u][i]Shadow Paladin Skull Witch:[/i][/u][/b] This card can be easily abused for lv 8s. I would suggest only having this card Synchro for Shadow Paladin Monsters, then it would be balanced like [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/XX-Saber_Boggart_Knight"]Boggart Knight[/url].
[*][b][u][i]Shadow Paladin Swordstalker:[/i][/u][/b] A little broken for just discarding a Paladin. I would suggest allowing it to attack 2 different monsters instead or can't attack directly if it attacks twice.
[/list]
The father I went into this archetype, the more and more it became a Nordic playoff of card names. Otherwise, not bad besides the issues I pointed out.

Thanks DrunkenSage69, I really appreciate it. Well, maybe I'm over carried away with the Nordics and Aesir archetype..that's the reason these cards looked similar in effects. I'll try to fix the problems in my cards using what you've evaluated (except for Shadow Paladin Fallen Angel - I really love it when at least one of my cards did catch a good review.)

I like the changes and now you can bring out the huge boss monster yay!!!

The only thing I still have to say is OCG errors. Keeping up-to-date with the [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Problem-Solving_Card_Text"]Problem Solving Card Text[/url] is good and simplifies effects to make them easier to read. Other than that, good fixes.
