Magmarlin Archetype

MAGMARLIN Archetype

 

FIRE

 

Fish

 

The entire point of this archetype is to provide the FIRE Attribute with Fish monsters, seeing as there are currently 0. It also has an alternate win condition. They recycle themselves, but normally go to the bottom of the Deck, symbolizing a retreat into deeper magma. Definitely not fast enough for modern Yu-Gi-Oh! But would probably wreak some havoc in olden days. The point of the archetype is to bring out its boss monster, "Magmarlin", using "Magmarlin Spawn" to get Tribute fodder, then get as many "Speed Counters" on it as possible before Summoning "Magmarlin Turbo". The win condition is basically there so your opponent can’t just negate Battle Damage and laugh while you can’t hit them.
