In my English Honors class, my teacher was discussing that on the SAT, words far more advanced than the common words we knew would emerge in it. Then our teacher made us take this Vocabulary Diagnostic Assessment to see how well our sophistication was. I was disappointed at my score since if my teacher graded it, I would have failed Then after handing out these Vocab Books, she gave us an assignment with 20 "more sophisticated" vocabulary words and to make a long story short, I got my inspiration from that.

PS The "Vocab" Archetype is only an Archetype to indicate my inspiration, nothing outrageously special coming from it, so monsters are going to have basically nothing alike in terms of look and concept besides their Archetype in their name and effect.

[center]Activate only when your opponent is about to conduct his/her next Phase while you control a face-up "Vocab" monster. Your opponent may discard 1 card to conduct the next Phase normally. If your opponent does not, he/she must skip the next Phase. Place Admonishing Counters on this card afterwards equal to the Level of a face-up "Vocab" monster you control. Once per turn, when your opponent is about to conduct his/her next Phase, while this card is face-up, you may remove 1 Admonishing Counter from this card. Your opponent may discard 1 card to conduct the next Phase normally. If your opponent does not, he/she must skip the next Phase. If this effect is used, you may discard 1 card during your next turn when you are about to conduct the same Phase next to conduct that Phase normally. If you do not, you must skip that Phase. When there are no Admonishing Counters on this card, destroy it.[/center]

[center]Activate only while there is a monster in your opponent's Graveyard and you control a face-up "Vocab" monster. Select 1 monster in your opponent's Graveyard and switch a face-up "Vocab" monster you control to Attack Position and have it attack the selected monster. The selected monster is treated in Attack Position during this battle. Your opponent takes half of all Battle Damage you would take from this battle. If the attack target is destroyed by this battle, remove it from play. If the attacking monster is destroyed by this battle, send it to the Graveyard.[/center]

[center]When this card is Summoned, pick up the top card of your Deck. If it is a monster with an ATK of 1500 or less, Special Summon it to your side of the field. If it is not, add it to your hand if you return 1 card from your hand to the bottom of your Deck. While you control 2 or more "Vocab" monsters, you may activate 1 Trap Card you control during the turn it is Set. Each time this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points, randomly remove from play 1 card from his/her hand. When this card is destroyed by battle, add any cards removed from play by this card's effect to your hand.[/center]

[center]When this card is Normal Summoned, Special Summon "Perennial Tulip Tokens" (WIND/Plant-Type/Level 2/ATK 450/DEF 800) to your opponent's side of the field in Defense Position equal to the number of "Vocab" monsters you control and place 1 Perennial Repellant Counter on each one (max. 3). "Perennial Tulip Tokens" cannot be used as Tribute for a Tribute Summon. During each of your opponent's Standby Phase, place 1 Perennial Repellant Counter on each "Perennial Tulip Token" Special Summoned by this card's effect and increase his/her Life Points by 100 points for each Perennial Repellant Counter on each one. When a "Perennial Tulip Token" is destroyed, the owner of the field it was on cannot place cards on the Monster Card Zone it was on for 2 turns for each Perennial Repellant Counter on the "Perennial Tulip Token".[/center]

[center]Activate only when 2 or more "Vocab" monsters you control are destroyed by your opponent's effect. Return 1 of the destroyed monsters to your hand. In addition, your opponent must skip his/her next Battle Phase. During this End Phase, you may remove from play 1 of the destroyed monsters in your Graveyard. During your 3rd Standby Phase, Special Summon the removed monster to your side of the field and draw 1 card.[/center]
