Draconus297 Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 [spoiler=Prompt]Armagallon AND NOW I NORMAL SUMMON! This FIRE Aqua-Type archetype is themed after liquid fuels, accelerants, and any other fluid that is easily used to start, spread, or intensify fires. Notably, the entire archetype is devoted to making a single Normal Summon a huge swing in advantage; all archetypal monsters, in addition to their existing effects on-Summon, have effects that trigger if another archetypal monster is Normal Summoned, making extra Normal Summons through methods like Chain Summon, Arrivalrivals, or their own Normal Summon machine a titanic boost to their power and consistency. Then, of course, with all those monsters, you need to do something with them to make room . . . so you have Xyz monsters at the ready to deny your opponent of things that could potentially kill your advantage. You have one that CDI negates backrow, one that can deny your opponent a Special Summon, one that kills your opponent's attempts to mass-remove your board . . . and all of those share two effects. One lets them eat the bottom card out of your opponent's Graveyard when they destroy a monster by battle, and one that banishes any non-archetypal card that gets detached from them. The backrow is generally rather sparse, but the cards you do have are mostly Continuous cards that protect the sacred Normal Summon and the effects that follow it, or extra consistency in the form of things like an Avarice clone with a Graveyard effect and an archetypal double Reborn that gives you only one Special Summon after activation. It was halfway through writing this prompt that I fell in love with the idea. It sounds really simple at first, especially considering that a lot of modern Decks don't give a flying funk about their Normal Summon, but the idea of building a board full of little fodder monsters exclusively to make a huge swing in advantage when you actually Normal Summon is just so fun, conceptually. The initial post used Level 4 monsters as a sample, but I actually found that I preferred them as a Rank 3 Deck, if only to keep the Deck more focused on its gimmick instead of being used to churn out Rank 4 Xyz in the AGM's MR3 format.
