Fire King High Avatar Phoruda

Well i was arguing with an online friend about the term of"Archetype" when it comes to decks like current Dragon Rulers, they have 8 monsters only (mostly because no one use crappy cards like Dragoncarnation, Draconnection...) so i decided to make a new label about
creating new "Fire Kings" cards and i hope you like it
Fire King High Avatar Phoruda
LV8 Fire Attribute Winged-Beast Type Monster with 2400 ATK & 2000 DEF
During the next Standby Phase after this card was destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard: Special Summon this card from the Graveyard. When you do: Destroy all Spell and Trap Cards on the field. When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard: You can add 1 "Fire King" monster from your Deck, except "Fire King High Avatar Phoruda".
Weird name isn't it?
Garunix (TCG) & Garudonix (OCG) are better, i understand that it's a mix btw the ancient myths of Phoenix and Garuda so you can just say that i switched the order :p, and by doing that why not switching the hit lines! instead of destroying frontrow why not backrow! i'm not a big fan of "Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys" because it works only on your turn so why not make it more like garunix?
Probably some of you are thinking wtf is he saying?
I understand that destroying monsters isn't like destroying Spell/Trap cards (inb4 another Dark Hole vs. Heavy Storm argument) but this mean that it punish set 5 format in the early turns and late games your opponent can see it coming so it's a fair eff. Also this may cause playing less Traps in the "Fire King" Decks and depending more on Hand Traps like Swift Scarecrow (ancient original builds)
What about the Garunix 3rd eff?
well s**t happened xD? i know this card can be special summoned via Fire King High Avatar Garunix eff and i made that on purpose because we're playing a format where taking big monsters by battle is just a waste of time, that's why most of use we'll depend on cards like Number 101: Silent Honor Ark & Moon Flower Dragon... also most players may depend only on 1 Phoruda.
What about the Phoruda 3rd eff?
i'm sure no one will complain about this eff, it's more than just balanced. adding 1 "Fire King" monster instead of "Fire King" to keep Barong alive and most important to keep the legendary myth of this monster alive.
