Mosaic - Forming an Archetype #40 (17/17)

[Atypical-Abbie]

Mosaic is an Archetype consisting of monsters with various types, Attributes and Levels. They focus on Tribute Summoning and Standby Phase mechanics. Each Level 6 and lower has an effect that activate if they are Tributed during your next Standby Phase, but the gimmick here being that they can also activate it immediately if they control their Field Spell, Mosaic Mosque. The Level 8 and highers have effects that activate on the field during the Standby Phase, and all the new Level 5 and higher monsters can also be Normal Summoned without Tributing as well.

 

Their playstyle makes use of various Tribute Summoning techniques, such as Tributing using monsters from your hand, using the opponent's monsters and Tribute Summoning in the opponent's turn etc. but their main boss monster is Mosaic Bahamut, which can be Tribute Summoned using 3 monsters to make it quite powerful, which can be helped with Mosaic Zahhak or Mosaic Mosque's effects.

 

Their name and theme comes from mosaic, which is "a piece of art or image made from the assembling of small pieces of colored glass, stone, or other materials." as well as various Persian mythological creatures, since the original card is based on the Persian creature: Manticore
