Heronauts! (Another Winged Beast Archetype...)

[Froggageddon]

This is a Level 6 Winged Beast Pendulum Archetype which get their effects from being returned to the hand or tributed. All 4 monsters (there might be more soon) currently hold the same Pendulum effect. They grow stronger over time. The 5 Scale Monsters seem to bring more card advantage/utility to the Archetype while the 7 Scale Monsters focus more on the battle/control aspect of the game.

 

[spoiler=Heronaut Benkei]

[Pendulum Effect]

All "Heronaut" monsters you control gain 100 ATK for each face-up "Heronaut" monster in your Extra Deck. Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can tribute 1 "Heronaut" monster from your hand or your side of the field; return 1 face-up card on the field to the hand (this is a Quick Effect).

[Monster Effect]

If this card is returned to the hand by a card effect: You can reveal all "Heronaut" monsters in your hand; draw 1 card for each revealed card.

If this card is tributed: You can add 1 "Heronaut" card from your Deck to your hand. You can only use each effect of "Heronaut Benkei" once per turn.

Benkei is the Draw/Search Engine of the Deck. You'd want him for consistency.

 

[spoiler=Heronaut Aquill]

[Pendulum Effect]

All "Heronaut" monsters you control gain 100 ATK for each face-up "Heronaut" monster in your Extra Deck. Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can tribute 1 "Heronaut" monster from your hand or your side of the field; return 1 face-up card on the field to the hand (this is a Quick Effect).

[Monster Effect]

If this card is returned to the hand by a card effect: Until the end phase of this turn; when a "Heronaut" monster you control attacks or is attacked, your opponent cannot activate cards or effects until the end of the Damage Step.

If this card is tributed: You can banish 1 Set card, for each "Heronaut" card you control, face-down until your next Standby Phase. You can only use each effect of "Heronaut Aquill" once per turn.

 

 

This guy is the main beater of the Archetype and he makes sure its safe for the others to Attack.

 

[spoiler=Heronaut Jetquack]

[Pendulum Effect]

All "Heronaut" monsters you control gain 100 ATK for each face-up "Heronaut" monster in your Extra Deck. Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can tribute 1 "Heronaut" monster from your hand or your side of the field; return 1 face-up card on the field to the hand (this is a Quick Effect).

[Monster Effect]

If this card is returned to the hand by a card effect: You can Special Summon 1 face-up "Heronaut" monster in your Extra Deck. During the End Phase, return it to the hand.

If this card is tributed, you can: Immediately after this effect resolves, Tribute Summon 1 "Heronaut" monster from your hand. If you have 4 or more face-up "Heronaut" monsters in your Extra Deck with different names, you can Tribute 1 monster your opponent controls as if you controlled it. You can only use each effect of "Heronaut Jetquack" once per turn.

 

 

This guy is the one you want to speed up your plays, and you'll be rewarded if you meet certain conditions.

 

[spoiler=Heronaut Duckwing]

[Pendulum Effect]

All "Heronaut" monsters you control gain 100 ATK for each face-up "Heronaut" monster in your Extra Deck. Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can tribute 1 "Heronaut" monster from your hand or your side of the field; return 1 face-up card on the field to the hand (this is a Quick Effect).

[Monster Effect]

If this card is returned to the hand by a card effect: Until the end phase of this turn; "Heronaut" cards on the field cannot be targeted or destroyed by battle or by card effects, except by the effects of "Heronaut" cards.

If this card is tributed: You can target 1 face-up monster on the field; change it to face-down Defense Position. That monster cannot change its battle position. You can only use each effect of "Heronaut Duckwing" once per turn.

 

 

The Ugly Duckwing. No but seriously this guy is what keeps the Archetype safe when you need it.
