Layered Rock-Type Archetype

The Layered archetype is a FIRE Attribute Rock archetype which uses the Synchro engine. They're inspired by the layers of the Earth as well as archangels and the idea primarily came from a dream I had recently about an archetype based around Tributing monsters and the boss monster gaining ATK and DEF based on this. However, I wanted to play around with this more. All of the monsters in this archetype have the potential to be Summoned to either side of the field and get off effects based on Tributing other monsters, or being Tributed themselves, but, they have some drawbacks to being Tributed themselves. The artwork is credited to the lovely artist PeteMohrbacher over on DeviantArt. Let me know what you think below including improvements or edits I could make!

Main Deck Monsters

Layered Twins, Sandalphon

FIRE|Rock|Tuner|Level 2|ATK 500|DEF 500

Once per turn, during your Main Phase, and while this card is face-up on the field: You can Tribute 1 "Layered" monster you control; Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Layered" monster from your Deck to either field. If this card is Tributed by a card effect (other than the effect of "Layered Twins, Sandalphon"); you can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls, the effects of that monster are negated, but it gains 500 ATK and DEF until your opponent's next End Phase.
