Atypical-Abbie Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Permadeath is an Archetype of Zombie/DARK Level 3 monsters with 1500 ATK. They focus on banishing cards face-down, Link Summoning and battling. Their playstyle revolves around banishing cards face-down, and they gain bonuses for all your opponent's face-down banished cards, either at 5 or 10 face-down. Their Link Monsters also each share similar effect structures, all of which banish the top card of each Deck face-down on their Link Summon, as well as having two different effects at 5 and 10 face-down banished cards. In general you want their LINK-4 boss monster called Show Stopper on the field, a dual-attacker that also has a powerful effect that banishing any card sent to your opponent's GY face-down, though their Main Deck monsters also play well into each other, with Nail attacking directly, Knockout taking care of monsters, Finisher getting on the board when your opponent takes damage, and Capoff inflicting effect damage after being Special Summoned during the End Phase. Their name is a term typically associated with video games, where normally a player character dies, but simply comes back again, but certain games may have a character die permanently, so the idea of banishing face-down is the closest you can come to this in YGO, and as the title suggests, this felt like a fitting way to conclude the year of 2020, which has been a horrible year, as well as a new years celebration of sorts. The general naming references endings, or deaths if you will, as well as death in general, with the Zombie typing and cemetery and funeral references in the Spells/Traps.
