not bad but there are a few problems.

 

1. Your entire archetype hingers around a single monster that requires heavy resource to get it out.

2.  The only way to search for said boss monster within your archetype is via the field spell which makes it unreliable.

3. In a game like yugioh where you are going to be committing all your resources to the field, having monsters reliant on hand size is often a bad idea.  This is why we don't see people running cards like tragoedia.

4. The boss monster has too many restriction such as not even being able to attack direct and locks u out of drawing 2. This reduces it's power drastically in the competitive scene where we have cards like sacred beast that not only let you draw 2, summon big beaters that can attack direct but don't hinder your draw phase.

5. In order for the boss monster to even be consistently good for otk, it has to utlizes like 2 other cards. This makes it such a subpar boss monster when we look at the standards today.
