Sorry for the bad names.

This archetype came from an idea that suddenly popped in my head.  I thought about superheavy sams and artifacts when created them, so you may find some similarities.

I think the archetype could be stronger, it lacks a strong field dominance, and seems to only shut down your opponent's attacking. The deck needs more cards that can modify the board state, cause right now it looks like a slightly weaker version of the hand trap ghostricks. Maybe you could add more effects like this:

"If a Monster(s) was Special Summoned from your Hand to your side of the Field during your Opponent's Battle Phase; You can Special Summon this card from your hand. If summoned this way: Target 1 Face-Up Card your Opponent Controls; Return that Target to the Hand. Your Opponent must declare an attack on this Card, if able. You may only use the effects of "----" Once per Turn".

 

I've never been a fan of the mentality of shutting down the battle phase with no investment into the board, but if you want to go with that kind of design, then you need more cards that put greater pressure to force your opponent into plays. Have you considered adding a type of U.A effect to one of the monsters? Cause I feel like the deck doesn't have any engine to plus at this point.

I think the deck has all it needs to make a good field presence, they have answers to a lot of situations. Giant destroys S;T, hardly youll get OTK'd, quick synchros from grave with Disaster Machine's eff is a good plus (even with that restriction), and the main strategy is Synchroing during your opponents turn with Doom Machine, since it can bring cards like Vulcan Divine, Orient Dragon, Black Rose Dragon or even the archetype bosses to ruin your opponents plays.

As for the pressure, i wanted to make it the most simple possible. I think making your opponent attack with a low atk monster into a 4000 barrier wall sure can force they make plays to avoid it. And i liked the effect you suggested, but id keep only the first effect (because its very very good, almost broken id say).

I feel like they are better as generic Rock support. In some form of Rock-stun monster-mash. Which just adds to the reason why I'm not a fan. Its literally a deck of hand traps...that's never fun. Granted they don't do much but hand summon they're way to the field, but the precedent is still bad. Sadly the fact that they are so lack luster is probably what saves them. Hand traps shouldn't have the option to do much anyway if you're going to run them in large numbers. The most I could possibly support is some Staunch Defender-esque effect and where at the very least they force some kind of player interaction.
