Here's a Trap Card for them.

This deck is about to give me a headache having to fight it at this rate lmao.

This effectively turns whatever Weathery you want into a Kirin in terms of application (bounce opponent away, then said Weathery comes back later). Suppose there's some consolation in requiring that you actually have to battle first to trigger this as opposed to triggering it during the MP, but yeah. 

 

Then again, we still only have Lazula/Arciel in terms of monsters that can banish themselves, but there's probably more coming in the next couple days and definitely will provide more banish fodder for the backrow. We'll have to see what happens and how annoying they'll be.

[Tinkerer]

Uh huh... A continuous battle based trap. Don't think I've seen an Archetype get one of those since U.A.

 

I really hope this isn't the only means of removal the deck aims to have though. Returning to the hand could be helpful, but that's usually on a more reactive effect. This... Isn't that. Yes, this could possibly screw up an opponent's BP when first activated, but once it's face-up, the opponent should find it fairly easy to play around.

Wow, another 0-1 tech card ... this might become a problem, if the archtype remains a slow, sitting duck.

[Atypical-Abbie]

Again a quite underwhelming card, but still has some decent uses, Extra Deck Monsters can easily fall into this trap when attacking.

The weather is not looking really bright for Weatheries, IMO. The Highlander clauses of the Spell/Traps and their effects only applying on about half the Monster Zones look quite impractical. I hope that through the monsters the archetype gets efficient ways of recovering or recycling their Spell/Traps, otherwise it may end up as an messy deck that clogs with multiple copies of Weather Spell/Traps.

On a second thought, the Highlander clause may not be an issue after all, if they get 7 different Weather Spell/Traps to play with, assuming there will be 1 Spell/Trap for each color seen on their Link3.
