Firstly, the problems I see:
Unless you have serious monster support, the counters are simply too slow to make the bugs worthwhile
Not a fan of odd numbers like 150 and 250, but that's just me xD
Some sort of dispersement effect/card, like Pitch Black Power Stone I beleive it is, would do wonders for these cards.

Taking that into consideration if it did have a way to disperse, I can smell very fast swarming tactics with some rather strong tokens. It would make token decks highlu dangerous and playable again.

I'd say overall, an 8/10. The problems here are very small, and VERY easy to fix. And I love the concept of counters/tokens mixing. :)

The problems you pointed out would make these cards more powerful than I feel making these. I am trying to keep these at either balanced or just slightly weaker.

I will make 1 monster support with dispersement, but I'm just afraid that with more they would go into brokenland.

I like those a lot as well. The problems with continuous traps is they're so easy to get rid of (heavy storm and MST to name two), so having ways to recycle them the way Mermails do is VERY useful. I also like how they're Treeborn frog-esque, within limitation.

Cy-bug Armor, a card already in the series, takes care of the heavy and MST problems. It negates any destruction, and gets you a token and a counter out of it.

I have to agree with Maxxion on Armor's destruction-negating effect, though 'send to the Graveyard' or 'remove from play' would still work provided 'destroy' isn't also specified. Unfortunately, the majority of spell/trap-removal tends to 'destroy'. Maybe make it a once-per-turn effect, or change it to add two counters per effect use, but take one off for every destruction negated? This would allow cards like Heavy Storm and Dark Hole to take out at least a portion of the cards they destroy, if played soon enough after Armor. I get the feeling there's a simpler solution, though.

Anyway, I really like the idea of this deck, and it looks to be fairly well balanced. The limit of one of any archetypal card means it's very much pitted against swarming actual monsters, something quite refreshing for someone who plays mostly Morphtronics. Definitely worth pursuing these cards, and as far as I know, decks that focus solely on counters and tokens are few and far between. Plus, with all those Level 2 Tokens everywhere, there's the opportunity for using some nice Rank 2 XYZ staples, like Gachi Gachi Gantetsu, even if you don't introduce any of your own. A solid 8.5/10, nudging a 9.

Side note: There's a running joke with the people I play with regularly about 'awkward fifties'. This deck would cause plenty of eyerolls with us were it introduced.

Modified Armor. Do I really need the once per turn AND the only 1 allowed effects together?

...Tokens can't be used for Xyz summons.

I'm glad you like the idea. The monsters weren't originally part of this, they were Maxxion's idea.

I put in the 50s so that I didn't repeat the amount gained from each counter, and so I didn't go as high on the amount that increased.

Probably not, actually. I was probably being a little over-cautious.

Welp, To be fair, it was late last night I made that post, so I guess I just forgot. But good point. Guess your Extra Deck won't be seeing much use unless you run something like Starlight Road, which could work, I guess? Probably wouldn't advise it, though, especially not with cards like Armor there.

I should probably point out that I haven't seen Wreck-It Ralph yet either. It's not out 'til February here, I think. So yeah, i'm judging these purely from a playing perspective, though I do wonder if these belong in the Pop Culture section? And yeah, Maxxion has a lot of experience and good ideas from what i've seen during my (admittedly limited) experience of these fora. He gave me a bit of feedback on my thread, too, so i'm guessing he's fairly active hereabouts?

Oh, don't get me wrong, 50s are great. I personally love 'em, and it works well with the dynamic you're going for. So yeah, definitely keep the 50s.

Following this thread, it seems like it could be an interesting one to watch.

Honestly, I had the idea for this before I watched Ralph, but when I watched it the movie gave this idea fuel to grow

I have a weird boss idea, but the name I have for it might spoil the movie for those that haven't seen it yet.
