Feel free to correct any PSCT problems that this might have, but here are the cards left in Leon's Deck that didn't get released, now updated to work with the way the series functions.
Discuss.

Edit #1: Fixed Spindle and Kids' effects. Spindle is now entirely focused on the opponent, while Kids has Red Wyvern's tie effect.

Edit #2: Gave Forest Wolf and Globerman additional effects. Modified the effects of Seven Kid Goats and Thorn Princess to restrict them a little more.

Edit #3: Now has images.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Alright, let's see what you got in here. 

 

Forest Wolf: Technically, you did give this a drawback for not being able to attack unless you control said Field Spell (whereas other one didn't, but that was when said Field was more busted and not correlated to it), but...it negates whatever it kills too. Seems fine otherwise.

 

Forest Hunter: On-summon monster removal is fine. Probable causes for concern is potential looping and mass summoning of this (well, if you trigger this off Cage for whatever reason), but I don't think it'll be too much of a concern (least with you needing Stromberg to not kill your monsters). 

 

Tom Thumb: Given vanilla status, you had free reign with him. Instant set-up for Globerman is nice and so is a free summon for stuff.

 

Globerman: The good part about this card is it at least recycles your banished cards that you are forced to banish off Stromberg (or Desires if for whatever reason you feel the need to do this in this Deck) and burns the later you play this (with more fodder). This assumes you get it out quick enough and have banished stuff (but you probably will, given Thumb and its no Tribute condition if Field is up). On the opposing end, it has its uses for screwing up Shiranui or whatever banishes nowadays.

 

Little Red: This one is generally fine, considering it'll usually result in Hexe or Globerman in most cases. As a generic tech in Warriors, idk how effective it'd be, but probably a cute tech or something. 

 

Seven Kids: Protection for the Field is fine and definitely removing the opponent's biggest monster always helps (and burning for it). Also getting around destruction protection like Stardust or several bosses. Wording-wise, just add (your choice, if tied) if there's 2+ monsters with equal strength, though should check if that wording is still used on modern cards. 

 

Thorn Princess: It's a lot easier to summon than its anime counterpart, but at the same time, this one has more drawbacks (you can't do much with the monster except attack or send it to the GY for other effects, and stuff blows up if the field is gone). Granted, Leon's stuff was made during an era where we didn't have a ton of Extra Deck mechanics and all. I would probably want to use Mind Control over this in most cases; yeah, monster you steal with it can't attack (and it's not permanent control), but at least you can use it as material. 

 

Then again, you'll probably just use this to steal an opponent's monster so you have a clear field for attacking. 

 

Curse of Thorns: IDK about this, considering it is a one-sided floodgate and shits on a lot of Decks that rely on the GY (even if it can be circumvented by Infernoids and the like banishing stuff in the GY). Then again, it stops Snow and other stuff from triggering (well, Snow does banish, but this card blocks her effect from triggering in the GY).

 

Other effect is fine. 

 

Gingerbread House: Well, it searches every other card in the archetype, so...there's that. Only real changes here are that it requires Stromberg to work (obviously) and the monster just has to be 2500 ATK or higher; not necessarily through this card's effect. Yeah, it doesn't destroy the monsters, which is another benefit. 

 

Could see a fair bit of use nowadays, considering a lot of bosses usually hit 2500 or more innately or through their own effects without needing this card to "fatten" them up.

 

Gold Moon Coin: Outside of this card's second effect to shuffle everything you've banished for Stromberg's maintenance cost or whatnot, that's about it. But in a way, it's still getting you back said cards to either draw or keep fueling the Field Spell. 

 

As for you adding your hand to the opponent, unless you're trying to screw over Infernity / Fableds or something, not sure what applications it would have in the TCG that are consistent enough.

 

Spindle: This one is generally fine, assuming you have one of the monsters out anyway. Question is whether/not the duel is still going on after 3 turns for you to have this come on the opponent's field or as backrow. (Also, if you really want to give them back said card; most times, you don't want to give them back a good card). 

 

Can't argue with destroying anything (apparently even your own card, but when are you doing that?)

 

Water of Life: At least it's not a Spell version of Call of the Haunted without drawbacks, though yeah, the targets for this are still fine. Can either revive stuff like Globerman to recycle your banished resources again upon summon, Thorn Princess to steal another monster, etc. As for the shuffling effect, you're probably using that on the support Spells, including other copies of this if needed.

 

---

 

As a whole, the rest of the set is fine (you didn't make 100-Year Awakening or Giant's Training, but those two literally only summoned their respective monsters with specific cards, which were already added internally). Also nice that some of them have ways to recycle the banished cards so you can keep said Field up, which helps you to keep doing things for longer.

Sorry for the long delay; I had something longer written at first.
 
You've certainly remade these accurately in the same vein Konami would. I spent a long essay talking about each card in detail, but I just found myself restating what it did quite often, because, honestly, Sakura is right. For the most part, this set of cards is really decent, while not putting the entire group of cards on par with this combo-filled meta, they're certainly not bad. You have searchers such as Gingerbread House (I love how its bad design as a generic searcher is balanced by the fact that it benefits your opponent if you're just playing it in an engine. Good stuff!), lockdown with Curse, stealing with Princess, and even beautiful flavour in the form of Red Riding Hood. It's all synergistic, which, despite committing the deadly sin of making more cards for the Deck than the Deck can reasonably play, the extreme variation of cards and none being particularly better than the other allows for many variations of the Deck; different fairy tales, as it were. Good stuff, in all honesty.
 
Just wanted to mention a hilarious combo with Gold Moon Coin: Play it with triple House in a Deck, activate it, set a Trap and maybe a monster then pass...then, when they draw, reveal your Heavy Slump Trap, shuffle all 10 cards back into their Deck and your Deck, then they get a 2 card hand. Not quite Trickstar leves of annoying, but something to look out for, as this is consistency with Gold Moon Coin essentially giving you 9 cards to potentially draw Heavy Slump.

Thank you both so much for the feedback.

I tried to improve the original cards where I could, and use Leon's plethora of Spells to give the Deck some much-needed consistency.

He actually had all of the elements of a good archetype present. Water of Life was a revive card. Gold Moon Coin was a draw card. Spinning Wheel Spindle was spot removal.
Just a lot of his cards seemed to focus on style and gimmicky mechanics instead of actually provide any form of cohesion.

What I took is the same thing Konami did: unite these disparate cards that normally wouldn't synergize as well and make them into parts of a whole, much like a real Deck.
