Haven't gotten around to making a Deck with these yet, but both of these cards seem pretty great for them, since you can get back a Link Monsters as well with the trap.

Altergeists really needed something with punch, and I think Hextia might be the one to deliver.
Sure, she can currently only point at one Altergeist at a time, but that's all you need.
Plus, her negation effect is pretty bonkers.

Nah, their only real issue is swarming, considering they have issues getting out more than 1 monster per turn.

These cards are amazing, however none of these is what the altergeist archtype really needs.

Funnily enough that is the main issue with the altergeist archtype, individually the cards are amazing, however they do not have enough synergy, they lack any enablers.

Hextia actually points Middle-Right. YGOrg made a mistake.

 

Anyway, both these cards are good. Looking forward to making Altergeist because of these.

A Link-2 with a down arrow that searches when laddered and negates is pretty freaking dope. Competes with Double Helix in terms of Archtype-specific Link-2's, but Altergeists don't have SPYRALs' infrastructure (give it time). Also worth noting that it can only ever point to one of your monsters at a time, but you can still use the negation multiple times by replacing it with stuff like Altergeist Materialization - which can in turn replace itself!
