This is definitely one of the more controversial planned archetypes. Is it possible for a set to be balanced with multiple common control-change effects as well as some at uncommon too? I'd like to find out, because that'd certainly fit the flavour of the series. This would be a kind of tempo deck, using temporary control-change effects to borrow the most relevant blocker or attacker, backed up with combat tricks and a bit of removal.
On another note, I also mentioned on Blue cards that blue-red might want to have a looting subtheme; that also synergises nicely with the card-draw-matters of the (Green-blue archetype).
You could throw in a few inconsequential control change cards in there too, if you wanted. Something akin to:
Technically, a Howling Mine
At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player gains control of ~.
At the beginning of your draw step, draw a card.
This might be a bad example because it is so transparent. But this sounds like a great idea to me for global effects that we don't normally see. A Vulshok Morningstar that works its way around the table, for example, could be fun. Or a Shiv's Embrace.
After a few playtests: it's... still not clear whether or not it is actually viable to have a control-change theme to this colour pair. It might be, it might not be.
Of the commons: Geass to Betray is perfect. Silvertongued Rebel is very expensive and probably not impactful enough - might want promoting to a full Threaten without the power restriction. Geass of Desertion is... probably fine, though needs more testing.
I think the deck was mis-built - too many other Geasses getting in the way of the control-change Geasses. Master Manipulator doesn't really work, and
Institute Pioneer definitely doesn't work. But that's fine - specific cards can change. The archetype feels like it might still be viable.
One of the ten colour-pair archetypes.

Cool idea. Like Assault Suit? Has the slight drawback of not working with my current design for Fervor of the Converted, but neither does Steal the Prototype.

Plenty of the uncommons are great, like Propaganda Officer and Hostage Exchange. And something like Fervor of the Converted is really nice, though the specific details need tweaking.
