[Sakura AGM] 信じたいあの日見つけた光 (RI-ON) [14/?]

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

(* insert Dragon Drive OP here *)
 

A very shadowy archetype that works primarily through subterfuge in Graveyard effects and handtraps, their field presence really just a formality. Generally speaking, they're an archetype of Battle Manias and various battle traps, forcing you to fight them and then just not playing fair once the fight has started. They're solid, destructive, and easily one of the harder archetypes to beat, locking out all effects that don't trigger during the Battle Phase, if it weren't for one rather interesting flaw: Dragons steamroll them. All their powerful, borderline ridiculous effects have a "except Dragon-Type monsters" clause in there somewhere, meaning even a Baby Dragon could faceroll the entire archetype without much effort.

Reading over the prompt, I don't think I really did the Graveyard-based thing, but the rest of it should've been covered (essentially make it difficult for the opponent to do too much unless you take them on in battle). All members are named after actual cards in the Dragon Drive card game (which is technically Japanese only and defunct at this time). 
 
[spoiler=Explanation of stuff]
The Servants' one and only job is to make sure you can Synchro Summon your bosses freely. To be fair, Akatsuki is the one that'll likely be used to summon the Archetypal bosses (it + Ein through Drei = Hayate Slash; it + Vier or Kyokonaught = Laplace). Koku-En is mostly for generic 7s like Black Rose, Clear Wing or whatever good generic Level 7 Dragon Synchros exist. I do plan to add some more at a later time, so Koku-En can be more useful. (At best, Koku-En CAN go into a insta-Laplace if you have Spartan in hand or really that's its only use for now.)
 
Frontline Edits 1-3 basically lock off certain types of effects and are a free summon if you don't have any on the field. As much as I want to have them SS from the Graveyard, I decided against that, given they already have a Spell Card to let them respawn. They have that another Dragon condition because as already mentioned, these are floodgate-esque. I am aware that Zwei is technically a one-sided Anti-Spell Fragrance and WILL shut down Pendulums. Ein can stop on-summon triggers (which are rather prevalent nowadays), and I guess stop stuff like the Kozmo pilots from tagging out immediately. Drei is basically to stop stuff like Notice and whatever Traps that may be chained to your summons or effects. Vier is basically a combination of all of them, hence why it is made the strongest of the Frontline Edits, despite its SS cost. 
 
Kyokonaught isn't as powerful on the negation, but allows one to banish something if it gets removed. 
 
Spartan just doubles battle damage and ensures you don't get unhindered in battle. 
 
Laplace is technically the boss with common immunities and the standard lock. 
 
Hayate Slash is the one that forces the opponents to battle RI-ON monsters, and if you have some of the Main Deck up, you can patch up your weaknesses to battle effects. 
 
D-Break and Overload Break are technically Soul Charge for them in varying forms; make sure you have monsters out on board. 
 
Training Card is basically RoTA/Emergency Call, etc. Or in other words, the in-Archetype searcher.

 
I admit that this Archetype is very strong and some of the cards are going to need nerfing (even if the AGM metagame is theoretically close to the actual one, recent hits notwithstanding). As already noted, I am missing more accessible Dragon Synchros for them to access; that will be added at a later time, as will other supports as I deem necessary after reviewing their support techs. For now, I want to consider this technically done, but more might come up (maybe a few more Synchros and that's it)
