Archetype Submission - Fauxlossus

Fauxlossus

Description:
Based on the cardiff giant, Fauxlossus is an archetype of level 4 Rock monsters with a single shared effect. While they are on your field, in your hand, or in your deck, they are treated as normal monsters. Since they are treated as normal monsters almost everywhere, they only have one effect each. They can all banish themselves from the grave to do various things, but the vast majority of the legwork in Fauxlossus is done by pre-existing normal and rock monster support, such as Rescue Rabbit, Painful Decision, Link Spider, or Block Dragon. Due to their grave-based plays, Fauxlossus is something of a tank. Similar to Burning abyss, Zombies, or Phantom knights, Fauxlossus will just stand back up if you don't put it down completely.  Imgur album here:

Additional Remarks

Advantages:

Fauxlossus, as previously mentioned, has access to an absurd amount of support. Very few decks can brag about having 2 deck special cards, a card that mills to search, a banish to search 2, and what is essentially a dragon ruler all in the same place. In addition to this, Fauxlossus, being grave focused, finds it easy to bounce back from boardwipes. It can flood the field with ease once it's grave is sufficiently set up. Fauxlossus has a rather easy time OTKing on an empty field, and can make some fairly intimidating boards.

Disadvantages:

Fauxlossus is easily interupted on it's first turn, as it is incredibly reliant on it's first normal summon to really get moving. Additionally, the deck's removal capability is quite poor, as rank 4 xyzs, while possible, can be rather difficult for the deck to combo into, as it vastly prefers link ladders, and can't go into common link removal options (such as Borreload dragon) as they take only effect monsters as link materials. This makes it so that powerful spell/trap cards are incredibly dangerous to Fauxlossus, which would need to top deck twin twisters to get around them with any degree of competence.
