I like the name a lot. Very good work on the cards' OCG. However, I think some of these cards are OPed. Overall, I would suggest making them get the better condition of having 2 or more High Council Monsters, not just cards. Here are my opinions on them:[list=1]
[*]Kain-By far the most abuse-able card out of the entire archetype. With cards like BoM, the Forbidden Quick-Play cards, and MST, this card is way too good. I would tone the effect down to where if you control 2 or more High Council Monsters other than this card you can add 1 from your Grave.
[*]Granfald-Even though you have to tribute him like you would Doomcaliber, being able to bring him back many many times is OPed. I would suggest reducing the amount of times you can do the revival effect, other wise this card is too good imo.
[*]High Council Chambers-In my opinion, the biggest OPed card out of this whole set. In general, this card needs costs or requirements for all of its effects. The first effect should return the other card to the bottom, not put it back on the top. Looking at your opponent's entire hand is a little ridiculous for free, you really need to put a cost on this effect or tune it down to like 1 card (even then it should have a requirement or a cost). looking at the top card of your opponent's deck is alright, but should have a simple requirement of an X amount of High Council monsters. Looking at 1 set card is probably the most balanced out of the effects, but should still some kind of situation to activate it. Without these limitations, this card could use its last 3 effects, especially the 2nd and 4th, in every deck and is completely broken.
[*]High Council's Orders-2000 Life points is just ridiculous. Either way, you get a plus if its on the field or not. Tone this card down in general, maybe you have to continuously reveal those 2 cards used to activate.
[/list]
I am sorry if I sounded rude but those 4 cards will make this archetype completely broken, especially the spell cards. Tone these cards down and having all the special conditions go off having High Council Monsters instead of just cards in general will make this archetype more balanced.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read over my cards.

Well, I made some edits, but I really don't think that there needs to be some sort of condition or cost associated with the secondary effects of Council Chambers besides the one I just edited in. You gain no card advantage from using these effects, only situational awareness. Really, the card is supposed to represent The Council's ability to know everything that's happening in the world, but even without them on the field using any of these effects isn't going to destroy your opponent. Especially since you can only pick to use 1 of the effects. As for its first effect, placing on the bottom could actually be a good thing if the next card is a dead draw. It's purely situational on what would be the best choice.

The archetype is also designed so that they can be useful on their own, but (most of them) aren't truly powerful unless they are together.

And I didn't take your tone as being rude. You're just saying what you think about the cards.

I have seen the changes you made. I like them :). Also, thank you for pointing out that it only helps you better understand the situation than card advantage. Good cards and better improvements :D. And thank you for taking the time to read my comments about it I greatly appreciate it.
