New Archetype: Shadow Summoner

[CardSharpDoppel]

Hey everyone. This is an archetype I came up with recently. It is based off of a villain from the popular anime InuYasha. In the show, the villain uses hexes and familiars to attack the protagonists, which is reflected in the archetype. This deck revolves around using continuous trap cards and beating down the opponent. I came up with this archetype because trap monsters are an underwhelming card mechanic and because I thought it would be cool into include more Shinto mythology in the card game. 

Extra Deck Monsters (1)

Miya, The Shadow Summoning Master

 Fiend / Fusion / Effect / DARK / Level 11

 ATK/DEF: 3700 / 3000

 Effect: 1 Level 7 Spellcaster monster+ 1 Level 10 DARK monster. Must first be Fusion Summoned or Special Summoned by tributing the required materials on your side the field. When this card is Fusion Summoned or Special Summoned by its effect, you can set 1 continuous trap card directly from your deck or GY. It can be activated the turn it is set. All monsters you control gain 100 ATK/DEF for each continuous trap card on the field and in your GY.

 

Main Deck Monsters (1)

Miya, The Shadow Summoning Priestess

 Spellcaster / Effect / DARK / Level 7

 ATK/DEF: 2400 / 2000

 Effect: You can special summon this card by from your hand sending 1 continuous trap card from your hand or side of field to the GY. When this card is summoned, you can add 1 "Shadow Summon" card from your deck to your hand.
