To ensure you can evolve consistently, you need to run multiple copies of each stage in what are called "evolution lines." Stage 1 Lines: For a primary Stage 1 attacker or support Pokmon, a 4-3 line (four Basics, three Stage 1s) is a common competitive ratio

This affects your opponents' creatures too, and while that may end up biting you if your opponents are also Going Wide, most other decks are going to see their threatening creatures shrink with the Archon on the battlefield

These are both fine cards, they will likely win you some games but they are not optimal inclusions in most situations (Dragonlord can be if you are heavy red and need mana sinks for some reason)
