Argostars

Is there any reason why this archetype is being given an Xyz, it only has 2 monsters and none of the Continuous Traps do anything

[e-dood]

Pack filler

Conceptually, using trap monsters as XYZ material is a neat concept. I question it's effectiveness though.
What's the XYZ monster like?

Argostars – Courageous Arion
Rank 4 DARK Warrior Xyz Effect Monster

ATK/ 2200 DEF/ 2200

2 Level 4 monsters
Once per turn, you can also Xyz Summon “Argostars – Courageous Arion” by using 1 “Argostars” monster you control (transfer its materials to this card). If this card is Xyz Summoned: You can add 1 “Argostars” Spell from your Deck to your hand. During the Standby Phase: You can detach 2 materials from this card; place up to 3 “Argostars” Continuous Traps from your GY, face-up in your Spell & Trap Zone. You can only use each effect of “Argostars – Courageous Arion” once per turn.

Also it's not even in the TCG/OCG, technically it hasn't even been announced yet

Paleozoics kind of do, since some of the trap monsters like kuebiko are level2. And the paleozoics whemselves, but I have no idea how well you can mix with the generic trap monsters all over the level spectrum.

So long as the deck isn't as jank as weather painters(I still don't fathom what the gameplan for that one is aside redoer with extra steps)

Notably, successive turns will allow you to stack materials because there isn't an "except (this card's name)" in the summon condition.

Technically +3 monsters with the traps

To be fair this card is technically still in the works, there's always a possibility KONAMI will "fix" that

I mean it'd be cool if they gave it enough card to make it a real archetype imo, we don't have enough trap focused archetypes and there's only a few that are good as is.
