Wicked Candles: Setting the Mood for Malice. [AGM-Written]

[ChampionZero]

The Prompt:

DARK Pyro-Type monsters that take a page from the Pokedex of a certain 'mon: It slowly drains the life forces of its enemies. True to this, Wicked Candles focus on constantly weakening your opponent's LP and resources slowly but surely. The smaller monsters can only "drain" on the field, but as you get bigger, their powers expand to triggering in the Graveyard and even while banished, so the opponent has no recourse except to use Necroface or something to stop them. But in a similar vein, you too get affected with the "curse" unless you use the support cards to circumvent those effects and ultimately force the opponent to an untimely end. Just make sure you set up first.
