Obedient Fiend - Forming an Archetype #43 (12/12) - Look, No Hands!

[Atypical-Abbie]

Obedient Fiend is an Archetype of Fiend monsters with various Levels and Attributes. They focus on having no cards in your hand or field for Ultimate Obedient Fiend to work, Link Monsters, destroying monsters and Special Summoning from the GY and Level manipulation. The main playstyle revolves around getting Ultimate Obedient Fiend on the field, preferably linked to one of the Link Monsters as it negates their effects, or depending on the situation you may want to eliminate your entire hand and field instead, though this is of course riskier. Each monster is able to destroy cards to SS from the hand or GY, they are also fairly friendly towards other Fiends, making various combo plays possible, throw in some Unchained monsters for example.

They are based around demonic and hellish concepts, and are the servants to Ultimate Obedient Fiend, which is a powerful card, but has quite a harsh condition, so I wanted to play around that card, as well as making it a little bit easier for it to simply be a powerhouse. I didn't originally intend to make them multi-Attribute, was just gonna go FIRE, but figured that it felt like Fiend/FIRE was too restrictive when it came to card images for me, as I want to do that more, and finding images I like can be hard.

Ultimate Obedient Fiend is one of those niche boss monsters that you don’t really see because it’s not very good, so I like the idea of giving him support, even if he himself is a bad card.

Yup that's exactly what I'm going for with Forming an Archetype, making crappy cards not so crappy.
