Krein Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Because this doesn't use Archfiend Palabyrinth. Does Amala even have gates? Does anyone even know what I'm referencing? The Archfiends and Fiend type in general were always my favorite monsters, and the other day I felt like making a deck of them. This is a... an okay build I guess, at least for what's an underused archetype that's never played. I decided to use The Gates of Dark World instead of Archfiend Palabyrinth because with Gates, I can set the graveyard up for Roar or Cavalry plays, and of course, use it to get a draw (which this deck needs). Archfiend Soldier is in there for Rescue Rabbit plays and as discard/banish fodder to get the job done with Gates. Grepher and Armageddon there are to set up the Graveyard and trigger Heiress. Damn shame Cavalry restricts Archfiends summoned by his effect from attacking, he'd be 8/8 if he didn't. Also a damn shame Commander can't attack the turn he's Special Summoned by his own effect.

Trebuchet MS Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I don't recall Amala having gates. Just grotesque doors and brutal floors. The deck looks interesting, but awkward. Unclear on the purpose of the higher-Level Archfiends if there aren't good Xyz to make with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only the Archfiends could get support to make them as formidable and terrifying as its floors... and the Fiends themselves ;-;... The Commander and Emperor are there mainly as beatsticks. I can't even summon anything other than Fiends with Emperor out anyway. Still, Commander can trigger Cavalry, Heiress, and Supply Squad, and Emperor can act as removal.

GarlandChaos Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Might I suggest using Unexpected Dai to summon Soldier? Maybe remove a copy of the Archfiend Trap inbetween BTH and Solemn Notice for it? I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Progenitor Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Sinister Yorishiro is always a solid tech in Archfiends, as it allows better milage out of Empress and Emperor than just mainly Trade-In targets, or in the card of Emperor, a weak removal option that consumes your normal summon. Speaking of which, the Trade-In engine is very solid for archfiends. honestly think the pseudo-vanilla engine you currently have going might be too weak in comparison. It just seems a bit conidtional and prone to bricking. Gate's is solid, however I usually perfer running Palabyrinth and Escape from the Dark Dimension as they give archfiends some decent speed and free Xyz power, without completely screwing them over.
