I wish I could say theres more strategic depth since you want to get different card types in your graveyard for the lhurgoyfs, but yet again I think you can treat that as a textural subtheme rather than actually focus on it during gameplay
And if this doesnt sound weird enough, there was an additional twist
Saion the Vaylantz Archer X WATER Level 4 [ SpellcasterPendulumEffect ] ATK 1100 DEF 1100 P Scale 1 During your Main Phase: You can Special Summon this card to your Main Monster Zone in its same column, also you cannot Special Summon non-"Vaylantz" monsters for the rest of this turn, except from the Extra Deck
(2009-10-01) If a -1/-1 counter is put on Protean Hydra while it has +1/+1 counters on it, that -1/-1 counter and a +1/+1 counter will be removed from it as a state-based action
Once per turn, during the End Phase, if the monster equipped with this card by this effect attacked an opponent's monster this turn: Destroy this card
Winged Boots Granting ward 4 reasonably easily is really nice
