Custom [Paradox Girl] LV archetype, with extra deck plays, interruptions, and modern game play in mind

[tripledawn]

Inspired by Surge's Archetype Guide, I give you my own twist on the LV mechanic. I aimed for power levels appropriate for competitive play in the current TCG/OCG, and I put a lot of thought into it.

Hopefully I'm on the mark. Critiques are welcome!
