Gilford/Gearfried shared Archetype

[Bruteboii]

If you've seen any of my previous posts, you can see I'm hitting all the nostalgic cards. Gilford the Lightning was one of my favorite cards, when the tin landed in time with the Gilford the Legend Structure Deck, ooooo the chills. (It was bad, though).
Gearfried kinda felt like another "Joey card" that could quite naturally fit into the theme, so here is a few cards I whipped up to try and push these two series to summoning their boss forms with ease.

I tried to keep this archetype away from the heavy Equip Spell play that is Noble Knights, and try to line the effects up with pushing Swordmasters Trigger-Effect, Gilford the Legends re-equip effect, and even Gilford the Lightnings destruction.

Updated the effect of "Legendary Sword of War", and minor adjustments. Considering the heart of the cards are warriors diving into battle I'll be adjusting to allow more cards to activate in the Battle Phase.
