[Archetype] Castlevania


The Nyx Avatar

Recommended Posts

I'm intending on making an archetype based on Castlevania/Devil's Castle Dracula, known as "Vampire Killer". The archetype focuses on Tribute Summoning and working against your opponent's DARK monsters. However, I'd like some suggestions and comments on how to improve upon this archetype, any cards that need fixing, and suggestions for new cards for the archetype.

Thank you. I based the focus of inhibiting DARK monsters from the already existing card "Vampire Killer" and made a whole archetype with that name and Castlevania/Devil's Castle Dracula protagonists.

I'm making a Castlevania based archetype, which I call "Night's". It is divided in the "Night's Army (basically the common monsters)" and the "Night's Terror (the bosses)" Sub-Archetypes and supported by backrow called "Sinphony" (the Sin is intentional). Imma make a thread in a bit, but overall it takes inspirations from some decks, being most similar to D/Ds and Magicians.
