The first thing that comes to mind are the mirror matches. They must be complete hell lol. You activate a Field Spell card, and immediately your opponent can take advantage of their own Spell/Trap Cards, however if you give your opponent your Pendulum Scales, they can still Pendulum Summon off of them. It would become very chaotic very quickly.

 

The second thing that comes to mind is the fact this archetype doesn't actually do its gimmick very well. Outside of the Field Spell, which doesn't have any protection, mind you, you aren't going to having much use of your opponent's cards. Not even a blanket Spell that grants you the effect to do so for a turn, and the continuous Spell doesn't help much either. Speaking of Spells/Traps, you only have 3 ways to search them, and 2 of them are the Spells/Traps.

 

The third thing that strikes me is that, despite the above...it's still somewhat useful. I mean, these cards basically kill any Pendulum Deck, and limit your opponent's Spell/Trap zone to 3 slots at most.  They're also really difficult to get rid of, but I'm still thinking about how much this set kills Pendulum Decks specifically. You might as well surrender if your opponent gets even one of these in your Pendulum Zone. Isn't enough that they don't have their own scales, and such limited ones at that? I would suggest only limiting it to Pendulum Monsters that can be Special Summoned. If you do do that, you can probably drop the "You cannot Special Summon monsters, except...during the turn you activate this effect." clauses on the monsters' effects, but otherwise they become a side against Pendulum Decks to instantly kill them.

 

Even if you fix all of those issues, this Deck still lacks a win condition. Okay, so you've locked down your opponent and are whittling away their cards as fast as they draw them. However, they can keep Summoning walls. What are you going to do about it? Are you going to have a boss with faster field wipes, some means to boost ATK and hit harder? What is this archetype's eventual goal?
