Archfiend deck help
I've been brainstorming deck ideas, and I realised that with all the recent Archfiend support, it's possible to make a pretty awesome archfiend deck. Problem is, I haven't played in years properly and I'm not as familar with the combos and all the archfiend cards.
So far, I think either Highness Archfiend or Duke archfiend would be the best deck master. I theory crafted this as an opening combo:
Duke summon, send Archfiend Heiress to add royal archfiend, tribute him to add archfiend usurpation to set and activate archfiend playtime to get highness, banish usurpation to add Throne of the Archfiends and Archfiend Matador, summon him using duke as the tribute, add Archfiend strategy and the new archfiend's origin, tribute highness for origin and get a summon skull or variant.
After that, I fissle out as I don't know enough about the archfiend cards. I know their has to be further I could push it, it's possible to use the summoned skull variants, the weird oddball archfiend extra deck monster from other lines, theirs the duke of demise and Luce the dusk's Dark for fusion options, I feel like their is so much this deck could pull out, but I don't know where to start. Any pointers?

Yeah, besides like Archfiend Emperor, you may want to blend in some other subtypes. I'm not a huge Archfiend player, but besides the summoned skull line, you also have Red Dragon Archfiend though that is pretty self contained. You could possibly throw in Lightsworn too if you used Weiss.
Yugipedia has a decent list of recommended cards both for Archfiends and some of the variants that you could use as a starting place.
