Both seem like one-ofs.

 

Fist being able to come back fairly easily is cool, but being dependent on a SHS Synchro to do that? Eh... Fist can turn the awful level 9 into the level 10, so that's something.

 

Helper... Should have been a SHS Soul monster imo ( kinda just fits that mould). But really its Grave effect is the main worthwhile thing anyway. Unfortunately, it suffers from SHS's 2 big issues: needing setup to really get going, and not having an in-archetype way of Foolishing.

 

These fill niches, and a pure SHS deck could use each, but they aren't exactly what the deck needed.

I really wish Helper could do something if you only controlled one monster, because it's trying for compete with Gauntlet for the Honest of the Deck. Granted, it's got the better second effect, but as said it needs a way to get there.
