[Written] Flame Swordsman Archetype!

[Kid Gambino]

Hey guys! Kid Gambino here with another package of custom-created cards, this time being centered entirely around the infamous Flame Swordsman and his counterpart, Blue Flame Swordsman! There is an obvious theme of color-coded Flame Swordsmen and the abuse of their ability to revive one another, granting the player a better chance to bring out the Fusion Monsters and ultimately the other boss monsters in the main deck! I've been rewatching Yu-Gi-Oh! and after finishing the Duelist Kingdom arc, I couldn't help but want to expand on a card from that era that has been left in the dust with little to no support, so here's my take on the Flame Swordsman getting some well-deserved support. All criticized is welcomed and appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome to YCM; I see you're a new member around these parts.

 

While it is fine to request certain cards to be made, you are required, under the Advanced Clause for all of Custom Cards to review what he already has in detail (at least 60+ words in this case, considering there exists more than 1 card in this thread). If you have not already read the rules for this section, please do so now.

But... Spirit of Salamandra is literally the Equip Spell Salamandra, but in monster form (and with an extra kick!). Not sure what a better tribute could be than that, but if you could elaborate or suggest some ideas, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
