Digiquest: Making the big Cyberse monsters actually usuable

Description:
Digiquest is a Cyberse archetype dedicated to making the high level Cyberse monsters actually usable while also offering Cyberse more ways to do what they want to do (Because let's be honest they really can't)


Cards

(Quick Effect): You can, immediately after this effect resolves, Normal Summon 1 Cyberse monster from your hand, also, if it is a Tribute Summon, you can banish 1 Cyberse monster from the GY as Tribute. You can only activate this effect of "Digiquest Mouse School" once per turn

The first card. It establishes the goal of the archetype, offering spammability, as well as letting you easily get out higher levels with a bit of Grave set up

If you control no monsters, or all monsters you control are Cyberse monsters, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. You only summon 1 "Digiquest Datacloud" in this way per turn. Once per turn: You can destroy 1 Cyberse monster you control to Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Cyberse monster with less Attack than the destroyed monster from your deck to a Zone a Cyberse Link monster you control points to. You can only activate this effect of "Digiquest Datacloud" once per turn.

Offers a little bit more spamability to get anything impressive out, and also allows for tutoring, something Cyberse heavily lacks.

Once per turn: You can pay 1000 LP; add 1 Level 5 or higher Cyberse monster from your GY to your hand. If this card is sent to the GY or is banished: You can add 1 Level 5 or higher Cyberse monster from your deck to your hand. You can only activate this effect of "Digiquest Wheel Wurm" once per turn.

Some actual consistency for the theme as well, as well as giving it the ability to make some form of comeback

You can discard 1 Cyberse monster; Excavate a number of cards from the top of your deck equal to half the discarded monsters Level, rounded up, then you can Special Summon 1 Cyberse monster from among the excavated cards with a level less than the level of the discarded monster, ignoring it's summoning conditions, but treat that monster as if it were Normal Summoned, also shuffle the remaining cards into the Deck. You can only activate the effect of "Digiquest WiSlime" once per turn.

WiSlime is a strong card overall, great for both link and high level monster spam, and encouraging a hybrid of the two like Yusaka's own deck.

If this card is Normal Summoned: you can activate 1 of these effects
* Special Summon up to 2 Level 4 or lower Normal Monsters from your hand or GY
* Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Cyberse monster from your hand or GY.
If this card is banished: You can target 1 Level 6 or higher Cyberse monster you control; that monster gains 1000 ATK, also,  if the targeted monster is sent to the GY, add this card from your GY to your hand.

This card is meant to help incentivize using the Vanilla Cyberse Monsters like the deck wants to get high link ratings, but is still viable without them. The secondary effect makes the attack reduction of high level Cyberse not unbearable.

Cannot be destroyed by card effects. Once per turn: You can send 1 Cyberse monster from your deck to the GY and add 1 Cyberse monster from the GY to your hand with a different name.

Viralbrain is a simple card. High level to utilize the support while being able to set up both your hand and grave for future plays.

You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by Tributing 2 Cyberse Normal monsters or 1 Level 5 or higher Cyberse monster from your hand or field . If  summoned this way: this card has its effect negated. Once per turn (Quick Effect): You can discard 1 card and target 1 card your opponent controls; Destroy that target.

Refractor is the first of the real bosses, though not much of one. It's an easy to summon beatstick with some removal tacked on.

You can Special Summon this card (from your hand or GY) by tributing  from your hand and/or field, or banishing from your GY, 2 Level 4 or lower Cyberse monsters, OR,  banishing 1 level 5 or higher Cyberse monster you control, but its ATK/DEF become halved. Cannot be destroyed by card effects. Neither player  cannot target this card with card effects.

The true boss of Digiquest. It's an easy to summon recurring 1500 ATK beatstick that isn't going to be killed by card effects. It's downside of attack loss is a downside that isn't strictly necessary, but moreso there for Framelord to fall in line with the Level 8 Cyberse, Dual Assembwurm

When this card is activated: Add 1 "Digiquest" monster from your deck to your hand. Once per turn, if a Level 5 or higher Cyberse monster would be destroyed, you can banish it instead. During your next Standby Phase after this effect is activated: Special Summon the monster(s) banished by this cards effect to your side of the field. You can only activate 1 "Digiquest Firewall Castle" per turn.

This card gives Cyberse everything it needs for the highlevels to be functional: A pool a consistently good monsters to use as fodder, and a protection effect on the painfully frail bodies of the highlevel Cyberse. With a cozy little ATK reset built in so you can make full use of their bodies.

Additional Remarks

Advantages:

Play Cyberse like the anime
Drop big Cyberse beaters that the opponent needs to remotely care about
Cool monster designs
Grind Game is SWOLE


Disadvantages:

Lack of negation
Easily disruptable
Hands brick from high level monsters
Can't dish out nearly as much as most modern decks, forcing you to play the long game and slowly grind your opponent down.
