These look interesting, however I do not think what they currently have is enough.

For the Rank 2 I made a short list of potential targets and some of the more interesting targets are: Swap Frog (for Ronintoadin to extend), Center Frog (very certainly just a meme), any tuner for Halqifibrax, Triggering Wurm, Swap Cleric, Ipiria, Gale Dogra, Soldier Dragons, Live Twins (since they also resolve around Level/Link 2) and any Melffy monster (since that entire deck is focused on Level/Rank 2).

Edit: On Pojo I saw that I overlooked Hero Kid, which might be the most ridiculous target for the R2.

Looks like a fun deck, it’s nothing amazing but Im always happy to see a new deck.

The effect design is pretty boring/uninspired, but it does seem pretty effective. Blue, Jet & Starter are all 1-card Nibiru protection for the strategy (kinda like the Adventure engine).

Most of the free +1s restrict you to Level/Rank/Link-2s for the rest of the turn, so you can usually set up something else and then drop Red/Carrot at the end of the combo for some extra negations.

Honestly, the lore bit is what intrigues me the most. These things power the Therions' Argyro system right? Why do the DARK ones look like aliens? Why are Red & Blue destroying everything? And what exactly is the relationship between the Therions and the Springans (besides Sargas being a possible Therion)?
