I said I was going to start updating my Fan Card Page with VRains stuff and we'll kick it off with something that's not Thunder related for once. Instead I'm going to show off my Water Attribute Pyro Archetype called the "Snow Flame."
These guys take visual cues from Bluish Flames, Ice Barriers and Nekroz to create a group of high fantasy warriors (so Knights, Mages, Elves, etc) that are wearing pale armour while controlling flames that are literally made out of snow. The main deck monsters are named after the months of the year while the extra deck monsters...aren't (maybe I'll change their names to go with the days of the week?) and right now they all happen to have 900 defense whenever applicable.
Now for what they do the Snow Flames are a spammy theme with the ability to flood the board with monsters out of the deck with the intend of rapidly Link Summoning their boss monsters the "Azure Snow Flames" who all have the ability to call Snow Flames out of the deck to their Linked Zones.
Sounds easy right? There's a catch to this. Snow Flames instead of calling specifically out of the take instead make you look at the bottom cards of your deck for Snow Flames that can be Normal Summoned, and then you special summon them. After this you proceed to put the cards you looked at on the bottom of your deck in any order. I fully admit to taking this idea from Gold Paladins as the concept of easy board building but at the risk of bad RNG balancing it out making the deck an exciting gamble to play. That being said rather than top call, I figure why not take a concept that's almost never been explored and instead focus on using the Bottom of the deck? This will lead to some interesting interactions like having an absurd resistance to tucking effects.
Here we go;
Snow Flame, Janarius
Lv.4 Water
Pyro/Effect/1800/900
When this card is Summoned, you can look at the bottom 3 cards of your deck and special summon 1 Pyro Monster that can be Normal Summoned. Put the rest of the cards on the bottom of your deck in any order. You can only activate the effect of "Snow Flame, Libertus" once per turn.
Snow Flame, Februarus
Lv.3 Water
Pyro/Effect/1300/900
If this card is summoned by the effect of a "Snow Flame" card; draw 2 cards, then place once card in your hand on the bottom of the deck. You can only activate the effect of "Snow Flame, Februarus" once per turn.
Snow Flame, Marchus
Lv.2 Water
Pyro/Effect/1000/900
When this card is summoned, you may look at the top card of your deck and place it on either the top or bottom of your deck. When this card attacks, it gains 500 Atk for each other Pyro monster you control during the damage step only.

When another Pyro monster is special summoned, this card gains 200 Atk until the End Phase. Once per turn, you can put one card from your hand or side of the field to the bottom of your deck; you can look at the bottom 10 cards of your deck and special summon up to 2 Pyro monsters that can be Normal Summoned to this card's Linked Monster Zones. You can only use this this effect of "Azure Snow Flame, Frostbreak Dragon" once per turn. When this card attacks, if the number of "Snow Flame" Monsters linked to this card are 3 or more, your opponent cannot activate effects until the end of the damage step.
Snow Flame Gathering
Spell Card
Look at the bottom 5 cards of your deck and add up to 1 "Snow Flame" card from among them to your hand and place the remaining cards on the bottom of your deck in any order. During your Main Phase, if this card is in your graveyard, you can banish this card from your Graveyard; choose 5 "Snow Flame" monsters in your graveyard, shuffle them into your deck and look at the top card of your deck and place it on the top or bottom of your deck. You can only activate 1 effect of "Snow Flame Gathering" once per turn and only once per turn.
Snow Flame Barrier
Trap Card
You can only activate this if the number of Pyro Monsters you control are 3 or more; during this turn, "Snow Flame" monsters you control cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects.
Right now giving everything hard OPT limits how much of a board can be made, but these guys have the ability to summon Pyro monsters outside of their theme and I'm certain I can think of some more effects for these guys in due time.
