Archetype Game

[Tinkerer]

Ex Machina

A revamped sub-archetype under the Machina archetype.

Like Machina, these are EARTH Machines that have a Main Deck mechanics. Unlike the originals (and unlike any machine archetype), their bosses are Rituals.

The archetype has a lot of the makings of "unfeasible" Archetype design: it has conditional search effects, it's overly reliant on its normal Summon, it has tons of "when" effects, and it's vulnerable to hand traps. However, the raw power of its effects usually compensate for these shortcomings very effectively.

The archetype has 3 Rituals: a Level 4 (that helps with the "swarm + protect" play style of the old Level 4s), a Level 8 (that floats if sent to grave - perfect to combo with Machina Fortress), and a Level 12 "retrain" of Machina Force (which follows its predecessor as a ridiculously powerful but impractical boss).

 

Cards:

Ex Machina Supply Lineman

EARTH ****

Machine/Effect

If this card is Summoned, you can change its battle position. When this card is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned by the effect of a "Machina" monster, you can Special Summon 1 "Machina" monster or "Commander Covington" from your hand, and if you do, send 1 "Machina" monster from your Deck to the GY whose Level is less than or equal to the total Levels of all "Machina" monsters you control. When a "Machina" monster destroys your opponent's monster by battle or by its own effect, draw 1 card.

You can tribute 1 "Machina" monster or "Commander Covington"; destroy 1 card your opponent controls. You can activate this effect of "Commando Ex Machina" thrice per turn.

You must control no monsters, except "Veggiesoldier" monsters, to activate and resolve this effect. You can only control 1 "Veggiesoldier Combo Platter".

 

Phenomena Fairy

[Lystern]

Phenomena Fairy

Beside being fairies, each member represents a natural phenomena that occurs/occured; and their attribute reflects that representations as well. Despite having high Level main deck monsters, they rely on their own special summon method(for example, true kings). Only 1 Extra Deck monster, a Level 11 fusion monster is more than enough for them.
And yes, since they are entirely Fairy monsters, you can push support cards into them.

Phenomenal Gateway to Hell
Continous Spell

All FIRE and/or Fairy monsters you control gains 500 ATK and DEF. Once per turn, if a Fairy monster you control would be destroyed by battle, is not destroyed. If this card is destroyed by a card effect: Fusion Summon a "Phenomena Fairy" monster from your Extra Deck, by using monsters from your hand and field as Fusion Material.  If your opponent controls a monster that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, you can also use monsters in your Deck as Fusion Material. You can activate this effect of "Phenomenal Gateway to Hell" once per turn.

----------------------
Arcanosurge

[Tinkerer]

Arcanosurge

A FIRE Aqua and WATER Pyro archetype of martial artists that trace red and blue lines in the air with their moves.

The deck has a mill + draw manipulation strategy that uses the duality between both sides of its monsters in order to slow opponent counterattack while setting up for big damage.

The backrow is heavy on traps with a gimmick on having different effects when you use a FIRE Aqua vs a WATER Pyro.

 

Arcanosurge of the Wild Mane Steppe

FIRE ****

Actinfernum

[Bluvista]

An archetype of Psychic type monsters that enjoy crush effects, and slowly burning the opponent to a crisp as the do.

Vantablack

[TeddySlasher]

Vantablack

Translating "Vanta" and seeing it mean "it has" I decided to interpret this as "It Has Darkness." Vantablack monsters are based off of many Victorian Poets and their stories. Fundamentally they all Dark/Psychic normal monsters that use their continuous spells in order to be special summoned onto the field. Though they can be normal summoned,being special summoned through their continuous spells gives the monsters certain boosts similar to how poems can invoke certain emotion. Their boss? A synchro monster based on the concept of a muse someone or something that inspires these poems.

 

Ex: Vantablack Liza

****

Dark/Psychic

*Someone who has felt cupids bow hit. She writes in hoped the one she fell for notices her affection.*

ATK:1900/DEF:1200

 

Vantablack Poem: One Half of a Lovers Heart.

Continuous Spell

When this card is activated, you can special summoned 1 "Vantablack" monster from your hand. The monster summoned by this effect cannot be destroyed by card effects. You can only activate 1 "Vantablack Poem: One Half of A Lovers Heart" once per turn.

 

Blessed Platinum

 

[morrisoni4]

The "Blessed Platinum" are primarily Rock-Type, Level 4 EARTH monsters that share an effect of treating themselves as LIGHT as well. The main Deck monsters are based on races from D&D. They are focused on swarming the field in a manner quick enough to facilitate the Summoning of their aces, "Blessed Platinum Mechas" - Rank 4 Machine-Type Xyz Monsters based on ancient machines and such that are focused on a combination of burn damage and deck milling. The "Mecha" effects allow the player to either damage their opponent in some way, or remove cards from the opponent's deck.

 

*Examples:*

 

"Blessed Platinum Djinn"

Lv 4/EARTH/Rock/Effect/2000/1000

This card's Attribute is also treated as LIGHT while it is face-up on the field. Once per turn, you can Special Summon a "Blessed Platinum" monster from your hand or GY, but it cannot attack, and destroy it during the End Phase. The monster Summoned by this effect can be treated as 2 monsters for an Xyz Summon.

 

"Blessed Platinum Mecha Antikythera"

Rank 4/EARTH/Machine/Effect/3000/1000

3 Level 4 Monsters

This card's Attribute is also treated as LIGHT while it is face-up on the field.

Once per turn, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, activate one of these effects:

• You can pay any number of LP (Max. 2000) to inflict an equal amount of damage to your opponent.
• You can pay a multiple of 1000 LP (Max. 5000): send 1 card from your opponent's deck to their GY for every 1000 LP paid.

 

Up Next: "Heartless"

[Perry Ellis.]

“Heartless” Are a series of trap cards that tell the story of a mean spirited girl who eventually after harming many people learns the error of her ways. Each card in the series focuses on negating effects during certain phases of the game. 
 

example: 

Heartless Lover

Normal Trap

Target 1 monster on the field and discard 2 cards, if that target leaves the field this turn, your opponent cannot activate monster effect(s) until the end of the turn. You can only activate “Heartless Lover” once per turn.

 

next up: Orikami (origami + Kami ,Japanese for god I think,)

[morrisoni4]

*Note: Yes, Kami means god. It can also mean paper, funnily enough, depending on the spelling.*

The "Orikami" are a group of Level 10 LIGHT Ritual Monsters of various types. They focus on stealing from your opponent.

"Orikami Crane"

Level 10/Winged Beast/Ritual/Effect/LIGHT/3000/3500

Impact

[morrisoni4]

Note: I'm ignoring the existing cards with "Impact" in their name, as they share no real theme.

"Impact" is an archetype of Spell Cards based around shutting down your opponent's monster strategy in different ways based around your monsters - removing higher stats, countering swarms, or preventing effects.

Spell Card

Destroy all monsters with ATK/DEF equal to or higher than the monster you control with the highest ATK (your choice, if tied).

 

"Heavy Impact"

Spell Card

Destroy all monsters on the field with a Level/Rank/Link Rating equal to or higher than the monster you control with the highest Level/Rank/Link Rating (your choice, if tied).

"High-Power Impact"

Spell Card

"Impact Warning"

Trap Card

Banish 1 "Impact" Spell Card from your hand, Deck, or GY, except "Graydle Impact", "Six Strike - Triple Impact" or "Cyberdark Impact!". This card's effect becomes the effect of the banished card.

 

Next: Double Down

[Tinkerer]

Double Down

More of a series than an archetype.  These are a bunch of generically usable Spells that excavate and dump the top card of your Deck.  They have a basic effect and a more powerful effect that triggers if the excavated card has the same name.  They have a single monster: a level 7 monster with a coin flip effect that has a Special Summon condition that fits with the Double Down playstyle.  Its coin flip effect lets you recycle Spells so you can keep Doubling Down on your plays.

 

Double Down Jack's Slash
Spell
Pay 800 LP and excavate the top card of your Deck and send it to the GY.  Target 1 monster your opponent controls: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to half its ATK.  If the excavated card was "Double Down Jack's Slash": You can send 1 monster your opponent controls to the GY and inflict damage to your opponent equal to its ATK instead.

[morrisoni4]

"Datakeeper" is an archetype of low-level Cyberse monsters aimed at keeping your opponent in the dark and confusing their strategies. There are four sub-series: "Defender" (keeping your monsters alive), "Fighter" (more aggressive battle tactics), "Channeler" (Spell and Trap manipulation), and "Infiltrator" (hand control).

If a face-down monster you control is attacked by an opponent's monster while this card is face-down, and was placed face-down by the effect of a "Datakeeper" monster, other than "Datakeeper Ace Defender": You can change this card and that attacking monster to face-up Defense Position.

Twiceborn
This archetype can't do anything by itself actually.

Twiceborns can be any Attribute and Type, but limited to only 8 members, and their members are counterparts of certain monsters of other archetypes. Although their levels are relatively high compared to their counterpart, ATK/DEF values are quite the same, with some tweaked values.
And yes, they have Extra Deck member too.

Next: "Freefire"

[Tinkerer]

Freefire

An archetype of Pyro monsters that freely hurts both players, but hurts decks that rely on consistency more.  They all have an extremely powerful common effect: When they are Normal Summoned, both players dump the top cards of their deck and reveal their hand.  If any additional cards is in their hand, on their field, or in their GY, they banish all copies of them.

Because of this baseline effect, the deck naturally forms itself into a bit of a highlander-style deck, with over ten main deck monsters to compensate for this.  In addition to their archetypal effect, they also have decently powerful effects on their own that usually involve fairly costly but strong removal.  As such, the deck aims to cripple opponent's combos before they can take off.  However, beware, because if a "Freefire" monster gets banished, you take 2000 damage!

 

Freefire Ravenous Mothmite
FIRE ***
Pyro/Effect
When this card is Normal Summoned: Both players send the top card from their deck to the GY then reveal their hand.  If a player has any cards in their hand, side of the field or GY with the same original name as the sent card: banish all of them, then banish the card sent to the GY by this effect.  If all the cards in your GY have different names (min. 3), this card's original ATK becomes 2500.  If you have 2 or more cards in your GY with the same name, destroy this card.  If this card is banished: You take 2000 damage.
1000/700

 

Cloud-Cover

[morrisoni4]

Cloud-Cover is an archetype of Warrior-Type WIND monsters that focus on protecting each other in different ways, allowing you time to Summon more of them.

Other "Cloud-Cover" monsters you control can attack directly, and are unaffected by your opponent's card effects. Your opponent cannot target other "Cloud-Cover" monsters you control for attacks. You can only control 1 face-up "Cloud-Cover Stratus".

 

Next: "Black-Ops"

[Darj]

Black Ops
Archetype of DARK monsters of anthropomorphic types (Warrior, Beast-Warrior, Spellcaster, Fiend, Fairy, Psychic). One of their gimmicks is attacking directly, in exchange of below-average ATK for their Levels. However, a more important gimmick is their Quick Effects that can be activated during your Main Phase, or either player's Battle Phase. This effectively lets them be played during the Battle Phases, including your opponent's, as if was your Main Phase. Thus, they excel during the Battle Phase, when the opponent is unable to use most, if not all, spell speed 1 effects, and that translates to more safety during your plays. Not only that, but being able to play them during your opponent's turn as if was your Main Phase puts them on a different place to the more conventional decks. For example, some of them have self-Summon effects from the hand, other have effects that let you Xyz or Link Summon, the Tuners have Synchro Summon Quick Effects as well, the Extra Deck members have Quick Effects, and a few even turn the effects that activate of the ED monster they were used for as material into Quick Effects

Decided to edit the archetype name a bit just so "Goblin Black Ops" becomes a member, going with the theme of direct attacks and a Battle Phase effect.

Next:
Splendipede

[Dramatic Crossroad]

Splendipede

Archetype of LIGHT Insect monsters

The Main Deck monsters are Level 1 (which can attack directly and trigger minor inconveniences for the opponent) and Level 2 (which can special summon themselves, spawn tokens or insta-Link during the Battle Phase when you inflict direct damage).

The Extra Deck contains Link 1 and Link 2 Monsters with Diagonal-only markers that each prevent or limit the opponent from doing a certain action (attack once per turn, set only 1 card per turn, cannot play more than 1 spell, etc.), with the ultimate aim to claim both Extra Zones as quick as possible, and coil across the board in "M" shape. Splendipede Link monsters combine their bodies and become a single entity - the ATK of each co-linked Splendipede is the total of all co-linked Splendipede, only the last-most monsters co-linked can attack and/or be attacked.

(Ex.: Cannot attack or be attacked while co-Linked with two "Splendipede" monsters. This card's ATK becomes the total ATK of all "Splendipede" co-linked monsters in chain with this card". Negate both effects if you control any non-"Splentipede" Link monsters.)

Next: "Undermine"

[vla1ne]

Let's give it a shot... UnderMIne is an archetype of Earth, reptile monsters that change from Earth to Fire the deeper you dig into the GY. I know adamanticipators do it too, but i have yet to actually play that deck, so i don't know how they work fully. Undermine monsters begin as level 3 monsters within the earth. They start out as Earth types in the main deck, and as they grow to their synchro forms, they become Fire types, with the aesthetic and support cards depicting them developing stronger bodies the deeper they go (Think onyx to steelix for the theme).While they are digging based, the do not have excavation effects, but are more focused upon digging out of the grave, and then using the banish pile to recover resources and make plays instead of the GY.

[UnderMine Princess, Abbey Serpent]
Earth/Reptile/Tuner/Level 2
You can only use each effect of "UnderMine Princess, Abbey Serpent" Once per turn.
If this card is in your GY, You can banish 1 "UnderMine" monster You control, and if you do, Special Summon this card, but banish it when it leaves the field.

[Ascended UnderMine Queen, Abbey]

If this card is Synchro Summoned, you can banish "UnderMine" monsters from your GY, up to the number of monsters used to Summon this card, and if you do, Destroy cards on the field, up to the number of "UnderMine" Monsters you banished. Then you can Inflict 200 damage to your opponent times the number of your banished "UnderMine" cards. If this card is sent to the GY, you can target "UnderMine" monsters in your GY, up to the number of your banished "Undermine" cards; Add them to your hand. You can only use this effect of ""Ascended UnderMine Queen, Abbey" once per turn.
ATK[2100] DEF[3200]

 

I would post more cards to give a better idea, but I have no Idea how spoilers work right now, this will suffice

 

Next: NulForce

When this card is Summoned, equip one "Mirror Force" Normal Trap Card to this card as an Equip Spell. The equipped card's Trap Effect is now it's Spell effect, but replace "An opponent's monster" with "The equipped monster" in that effect text. After this effect is activated, end the Battle Phase. When a Trap Card is equipped to this card by this effect, other monsters you control cannot attack. Once per turn, during your Standby Phase: Pay 1000 LP or destroy this card. When a Trap Card is equipped to this card by this effect, other monsters you control cannot attack. You can only control one "Archfiend NullForce Armorer".

 

Completely reversing the usual strategy of "Mirror Force", from deflecting attacks to using attacks.
