Puzzlizard Archetype (19/19) - Puzzle Video Games Reptiles Whomst Mill Your Deck

[Atypical-Abbie]

Puzzlizard is an Archetype of Reptile/EARTH monsters with various Levels. They focus on milling your own cards, revealing cards in your hand, and using combination of Link, Synchro and Xyz monsters. Their general playstyle revolves around milling as many cards as possible for Opus Magnum, which you can do easily by Link Summoning, then Xyz Summoning with Synchro Summons being more optional but providing additional support. Their Spells/Traps all are able to be activated from the GY if sent from the Deck along with a Reptile monster.

Their name is a portmanteau of "puzzle" and "lizard", and they are based on lizards and puzzle video games specifically, as I have previous made an Archetype based on regular puzzles called Criptic so was originally going to make them based on those kinds of puzzles, but oops, made that already.

I'm imagining ogdodadic puzzlizard lightswarm with the chaos (light dark) cards [if they were dark/light]. This is really cool! It takes lightsworn's concept into better synchro/XYZ. I wish these worked to the chaos engine being dark. These effects are so well made! As far as I can tell perfect PSCT. Perfect synergy with these wonderful effects.
