Kronologistic / Belgrade (Unscripted)

[Slick]

Did you know?

New garbage inbound, straight from your favorite moron: Kronologist / Belgrade, meant to act as semi-generic Drive support, because I like the mechanic. It has potential for comedy and I wanted to capitalize.
If the card design seems schizophrenic, that's because I am.

The following changes have been made as per BT's request in order to reduce schizophrenia and increase coherence as an archetype of its own:

Added the following additonal effects to Jumpdrive and Gateway, respectively:
[-4]: Set 1 "The City of Belgrade" or 1 Spell card that specifically lists it in its text directly from your Deck.
[-4]:Set 1 Trap card that specifically lists "Kronologistics Tune Duelist", "Kronologistic Fault Hunter", or "The Spirit of Belgrade" in its text directly from your Deck.

Changed Dicetron Prime's condition to controlling the field spell

fixed Fault Hunter and Centaurea saying "set" and not "reduce"

fixed Paradox's PSCT

Replaced Copper Dragon's OD effect with the following:
[-8]: Target 1 Drive or Synchro monster in your GY; Special Summon it.

[Slick]

Additionally changed Copper Dragon's

• effect to a passive effect the card just has

Made this change in the previous reply, just forgot to mention it because I'm silly
