[Dramatic Crossroad]

Here is my opinion, you can agree, disagree, take it into consideration or dismiss it and call if whatever if you like :)

 

 

Scout's effect can be considered somewhat fair, although i think it needs some kind of limitation. 

The OCG would look more convincing this way:

 

"Each time a monster is Summoned: your opponent sends the top card of their Deck to the Graveyard."

 

 

Machinist needs a restriction for him to only summon only once, or only S.E. monster(s), i would suggest something like this:

 

When this card is Normal Summoned; You can Special summon 1 level 5 or higher Machine-Type "Shadow Empire" monster from your hand. If this card is Special Summoned: sends 3 cards from the top of your opponent's Deck to the Graveyard.

 

 

Initiate is pretty much balanced and a-OK.

 

Jack's effect is over the top, don't know if your intention was to use the character in a fanfic or something, but you can balance things out to make them more plausable. It's basically easier to summon T.G. Hyper Librarian with the power of Maxx "C" working on every summon. 

 

Prototype looks a bit generic at this point, it could use a secondary effect, like damage or milling an additional card if the first one was trap/spell/monster?

 

Sniper's effect is OK, it has good stats, balanced effect, but it's basically Iron Chain Dragon.

 

Guardian's effect is i think OP with its current stats, which are low for his level but high, considering the effect.

 

Assassin's the same, if not worse. Easy to summon,w/. no summoning restriction, large amount of cards milled, and this time - good ATK.

 

Emperor is uberstrong. No summoning restrictions, no drawbacks, good stats, no limitations how many times the effect can activate. 

 

 

 

 

There is a lot that can be done for the card's grammar, i'm thinking you just wanted to sketch them altogether or wrote them in a rush and missed some important details.

I thank you for your advice, the wordings here are what the ideas look like when they come out of my head for the first time, they always need refining.

 

Placed limits on most effects and the emperor's summoning. Lowered Guardian and Assassin stats.
