Basically a main deck VFD that needs to be on the field to keep the negate. Sound balanced enough to me.

Since the Flundereeze cards (both Monsters and Spell/Traps) are constantly getting banished, this Archetype pairs pretty damn well with Soul Absorption, granting you 500 LPs for every card removed from play. So, even if the opponent were to somehow bypass these birds’ Lockdown capabilities and launch an attack on your LPs, they’ll find that you’ve accrued enough activations of SA’s effect that it take an equally long while to whittle it down to 0.

[@ToxicAtom]

an important thing to remember: all the Level 1 monsters and the Field Spell conduct a normal summon as part of the effect's resolution (think like True Draco backrow, Cynet Optimization, Simoom the Poison Wind, etc.) This means if the first part of the effect is negated, you do not get the additional normal summon. Since most of these extra normal summon effects are tied to getting cards from the deck, they are susceptible to Ash Blossom. This alone I think cripples the deck enough to prevent it from being TOP TIER SHIT.
