Yggdrasil Archetype (10/10)

[Atypical-Abbie]

Yggdrasil is an Archetype of Plant/EARTH monsters with various Levels. They focus on banishing, high Level monsters, equip and milling tactics. The have various ways to get themselves out on the field, either Tribute Summoning or banishing monsters from your GY to Special Summon them. They are friendly toward other Plants, and it is encouraged to use outside support, as they have few monsters on their own. Their main goal is to get out their Fusion Monster, Yggdrasil - Tree of Many Worlds, which can become quite powerful, as it banishes monsters from both players' GY to gain ATK/DEF for each monster banished, and has another powerful effect that can produce 3 outcomes.

 

Yggdrasil is one of the most famous trees in mythology, and this is loosely based on the idea of the tree, but more so a tree of life and creation perhaps, but I liked the name enough, and it fits decently well with theming of using high Level monsters I thought. The idea of using a lot of banishing comes from the idea of being sent to another dimension, similar to how Yggdrasil is said to connect the different worlds.
