Custom Archetype: Horseman of the Apocalypse

[The2kGod Raah]

To start I saw a post about making custom cards that were the four horseman of the apocalypse as an archetype in yugioh and I was going to script the cards into EdoPro for myself and some friends, however after looking at the cards, the effects were either too powerful generic like unaffected by monster effects, or just too weak like this card gains 500 ATK. So I then decided to make my own archetype about the Four Horseman with the help from ChatGpt to balance and get the cards the way I wanted. Here is my archetype.

To start with the name of the Archetype is "Horseman of the Apocalypse", this Deck is consisted of 4 main Deck monsters a Continuous Spell card and a Extra Deck monster. The Deck focuses around 4 Horseman War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death who are all Level 12 Dark Fiend monsters with 4000 ATK and DEF. Each monster cannot be Normal Summoned/Set and must Special Summon themselves from the hand or GY by banishing 3 fiend monsters from the GY. Each monster also can send themselves and a Level 10 or higher fiend monster from the hand to do an effect. While on the field each monster has a Continuous effect that is specific to their name. Finally, the Boss monster is an Xyz monster that has to use all 4 horseman to come out and is a Towers monster while it has Xyz material.

While all the monsters are really powerfull, their are a couple of designed weaknesses to the Deck. 1 weakness is that you need to draw at least 2 Level 12 or higher fiend's and then discard 1 more to summon 1 out meaning that they are difficult to summon out unless their is an engine drawing cards [Darkworld is a good example however I don't know how well they will synergize as I am not good with Darkworld]. Secondly, Each Main Deck monster can be destroyed, banished, targeted, negated, and don't have Specific protections except one of them having Battle Protection, and while the Extra Deck monster has protections it is very hard to get out as you need to have 4 Horseman on the field [This means you have to banish 12 cards, and have all 4 horseman in hand] which is very unlikely. However if you do get this horseman out it is very powerful. 

After all is said, to me this seems like a fun archetype, however I want to know if there are any balances you would give to the archetype or any tips to make them better or worse but still fun to use. Below are the cards. Tell me what you think :) !!
