Since the number of cards I've made is slowly getting to the point that it makes Blogger lag, I decided to separate the two articles (with the possibility of cutting them down to 3 in the future).
Stat Explanation
Title: Mispolied
Link
Level: Average
Description: What happens when the DNA combination of Fusioning don't result in the glorious combinations of the original monsters the opponent wants, but instead in misshapen abominations? The deck is specifically a counter to Fusion-focused Decks, with every monster being a handtrap that replaces the original Fusion Monster that would be Summoned with a "Mispolied" monster from your Extra Deck. The deck also utilizes "De-Fusion" "Fusion Parasite". On its own, it still functions as an average Fusion Deck.

THEME:
- Rock$tars were initially designed as a tribe for my original card game. The mechanics would more or less be similar, triggering and gaining effects when moving to the "Boss Zone".
- The deck theme was inspired by Rage Against the Machine's recent political positions. The archetype basically mocks the rebellious image of the rock scene when rockstars do everything they can to become part of the system they claim to hate.
- It's probably obvious, but Rock$tars are attention-starved egomaniacs, wanting to be the "Center" of attention.

Title: Mouse Gals
Link
Level: Weak
Description: A series of EARTH Beast monsters with Level 2 or lower, meant to support "Polymerization" and Beast Fusion Monsters. The Deck is mostly centered around "Mouse's Ploy" a Fusion Spell whose effect stacks for the duration of your turn, meaning the first time you use it, your Fusion will get +500, the second +1000, etc. Other than that, some of the monsters are pretty interestingly generic.

Title: Distorters
Link
Level: Average
Description: Creatures of an alternate underwater dimension, "Distorters" are a Fish WATER archetype. Most of their effects are negated if a Chain Link 2 resolves, though in exchange none of the maindeck monsters have HOPT restrictions. The monsters can all attack directly, or give up that ability and gain 2000 ATK/DEF. The deck plays as a combination of control and aggro, forcing the opponent to make sub-optimal moves to avoid high stats out of low level monsters and relatively strong Spells/Traps, while giving you options to make the really important ones uninterruptable.

THEME:
- Mechanics-wise, they were thought of as a more complicated version of the "Triangle" series, with Watts thrown in.
- The name was inspired by Vanguard's "Deletors", specifically Vanguard V's Ibuki vs Takuto duel. The inspirations from Vanguard end in the naming sense though.
- Originally I was planning to make one of each Attribute, but eventually I realised I had too many good underwater monster images.
Title: Amber Space
Link
Level: Weak
Description: A small Spell-hating archetype of monsters with different Levels, "Amber Spaces" have 3 different common mechanics: 1)They self-destruct if you have a Spell in your GY. 2)If your opponent plays a Spell they can tribute themselves to negate it. 3)They give Xyz Monsters that use them as materials effects on Summon, but only if the Xyz'es rank is different than their original Level. As you can imagine there are some level manipulation shenanigans.

Description: A small Spell-hating archetype of monsters with different Levels, "Amber Spaces" have 3 different common mechanics: 1)They self-destruct if you have a Spell in your GY. 2)If your opponent plays a Spell they can tribute themselves to negate it. 3)They give Xyz Monsters that use them as materials effects on Summon, but only if the Xyz'es rank is different than their original Level. As you can imagine there are some level manipulation shenanigans.

THEME:
- The art is original, by Moon_Cradle, my Ayumi: Enhanced Edition's artist for its upcoming Version 4. Specifically, the archetype's art is made for Steam Cards and Steam profile backgrounds.
- Centipede: Basic enemies that do not chase the player (either stationary or following specific patrols), feasting on the blood & guts around the spaceship the game takes place in.
- Hatchery: Centipede eggs.
- Tree: Stationary room modifiers, they make it deadly for the player to be standing still for more than 2 seconds in the rooms they are in.
- Polyp: Yellow Mythos'es flying polyps, monsters that are invisible from a distance, only materialising once they're right next to the player.
- Byakhee: Another yellow Mythos staple, chasing enemies that move in a lizard & frog-like fashion.
- Siren: My favourite enemy in design, sirens are stationary, with their babies roaming rooms passively. If the player approaches them too much, they start screaming, and their babies turn aggressive. Walking in front of them is an insta-kill.
- Genes: The sirens' babies.
- Peepers: Stationary rotating advertisment machines that have turned hostile, frying the player's brain if they are directly within the peepers' rotating sight.

- Tag-friendly: Sure
THEME:
- The Baháʼà faith supports the existence of one God, worshipped by various religions despite their different forms, accepting all of them. Needless to say, I made their one god a lovecraftian abomination.
- According to the faith, angels are humans who have abandoned all evil. Abandoning evil has also removed a large part of what made them human to begin with, including the capacity to be good. As a result "BaháʼÃ" have largely become emotionless cenobites that resemble artificial intelligences more than beings with free will.
- Reducing their ATK/DEF to 0 is referring to them abandoning their humanity completely.
- Their transcendance into basically machines is the reason the Rituals are Machine-Type.
- "Plain of Exaltation" is intentionally spelled like "plain" instead of "plane".
- "Baháʼà Suppremasy" is also intentionally spelled like "suppression".
- "Baháʼà Anti-Life" is a reference to Darkseid's "anti-life equation" from the Superman comics.
- "Personal Apotheosis" is named after the "Personal God" that the Baháʼà religion believes in.
- "Malifestation of Selflessness" is meant to be taken literally. They have abandoned their "selves", it's not a positive aspect.
- All the Level 4s have 1000 DEF, the Level 8s 2k, and so on.
- The rituals all have an additional scaling effect they can trigger.

If it goes undisrupted, the Deck can go pretty nuts with its ATKs, with various bonuses affecting monsters with the same name on the field. The deck plays a lot with name manipulation.

- Tag-friendly: Yes
THEME:
- "Deapth Lights" are named after lost ships of the past 2 centuries.
- In their original concept (and the reason they are Zombie monsters) they were named after irl missing child cases. The idea was that the abyss of the "Deapths" was an ecosystem form of afterlife where no light exists, and the missing children that ended up there were lost forever in the vast dark, eventually devoured by giant underwater monsters. Since they were already dead though, they were simply digested over centuries, gradually turning into the "Deapth Lights", which the abyssal leviathans then released from inside them, using their lights to attract more lost children to feed upon. Seeing how the yu-gi-oh community loses its mind if I so much as show Serena in panties though, I decided to tone it down a little, so random ship references it is.
- I don't think I need to mention it after the above paragraph, but "Deapth Lights" is a wordplay on "depth" and "Dead Lights", inspired by Stephen King's IT.

As a secondary theme, all the maindeck monsters force the opponent to disadvantage themselves (though they have a choice in exactly how the effect will resolve).

The difference is that the Warworgs try to turn others into their kind, with the werewolf bite, turning them too into superior beings (the effect of the Level 6 is supposed to transform the enemies into superior men, not resurrect the dead).
- Nihilism: A subversion of what Nietzsche intended for his philosophy, which was meant to fight Nihilism, but in the hands of the SS achieved exactly that.

The common mechanic of both Level 5&6es is that they cannot be destroyed by card effects. The Level 5s handle the tribute fodder and trigger effects when Specialled by "Warworg" cards (they can't trigger those on their own), while the Level 6 gain bonus effects from being Normal Summoned, and also share the ability to Special a "Warworg" from your GY by banishing monsters they destroy by battle.

- Ace/Signature Card: Warworg Ubermensch
- Tag-friendly: Yes
THEME:
- Nightzche: Nietzsche, obviously
- Crypto: Reference to the "Beyond-Man", which was the basis for "Superman".
- Zarathustra: An ancient Persian leader and philosopher, and also the protagonist of "thus spoke Zarathustra" that Nietzsche wrote, and where he expressed the idea of the "beyond-man".
- Faithdoomer: "God is dead. God remainds dead. And we have killed him."
- Gathas: Hymns composed by Zarathustra (supposedly)
- Ubermensch: The ideal nature man can reach, by distancing himself from the things holding him back, like religion.
- Aristocracy: The dominion of the betters (blood-based for the SS)
- Recurrence: Referring to the "Eternal recurrence", a core theme of the philosophy.
- Superiority: The SS'es belief of them being the aryan race, similar to the Warworgs. The difference is that the Warworgs try to turn others into their kind, with the werewolf bite, turning them too into superior beings (the effect of the Level 6 is supposed to transform the enemies into superior men, not resurrect the dead).
- Nihilism: A subversion of what Nietzsche intended for his philosophy, which was meant to fight Nihilism, but in the hands of the SS achieved exactly that.
Title: Fidelity
Link
Level: Weak
Description: A series of light warrior nuns, serving the “Grand Order” from above. The monsters follow the average formula of having 1 effect to Special Summon themselves, and 1 effect that triggers when they are tributed, similar to the “Darkwood”. The tributing is mostly handled by TCG cards.

Title: Song of the Cosmos
Link
Level: Weak
Description: A collection of all my “Singer of Cosmic Horrors” archetype sub-type, which have received support of their own as a Deck. The deck is pretty versatile, but I’m still working with the Extra Deck consistency. As you can guess, the main advantage of the Deck is that it can use resources from all the Entity-supporting decks I have made in the past, including “Vurko”, “Darkwood”, “Grand Order” and others. Following the pattern of the original Entities by Konami, the Deck tries to utilize Fusion, Synchro and Xyz. I’m not sure yet how powerful the deck is, as I’m still working out its kinks.

Title: Steelmolts
Link
Level: Average
Description: The “Steelmolts” are Fire Insect scorpions, which can Tribute themselves to Summon their exoskeletons as animated Fire Machine Tokens (1700 ATK), along with triggering another unique effect for each. The Deck is minorly Link-based, though most of your cards will follow the singular theme of using self-tributing to trigger various effects.

Title: Allmity Court
Link
Level: Weak
Description: The “Allmity” are a small archetype of Insect Pendulum monsters, themed after the American court system. The main mechanic is Specialling monsters from the Pendulum Zone, triggering various effects off that, giving you access to plenty of removal options.

- Style: 3/5
- Difficulty: 3/5
- Ace/Signature Card: Allmity Prosecutor
- Tag-friendly: No
THEME:- The name is a wordplay of “Allmighty” and “mites”.
- The Deck is themed after the American Supreme Court system, with driders. (I tried to find images of half-human hybrids of various insects, but unfortunately the vast majority were of driders. “Injury”, “Supreme” and “Allmity Order” were the only non-driders I could find.)
- You might have noticed my deep appreciation for “Pendulum Switch” and its infinite versatility in the “Dreaquean Party” deck as well, with “Dreaquean Nap Time” basically being an archetypal version of it. Well, this time we have an entire archetype working with its mechanic! (and we’re still running the original X3 as well)
- The archetype has an obsession with the number 600. Not only do all the effects translate to 600 stat changes of something (like 600 LP gaining, 600 ATK/DEF nerfing for the opponent’s monsters etc), but the monsters themselves all have a difference of exactly 600 between their ATK and DEF. Even the links’s ATKs are all multiples of 600.

Title: Orcess
Link
Level: Average
Description: Having collected a few images too many of green chicks in my images folder, I decided to turn my old “Junior Orcess” and “Senior Orcess” into a small archetype. The main mechanic is related to your monsters not dealing battle damage, triggering various effects, and as a secondary theme, discarding cards as costs.

Title: Gravebirth
Link
Level: Average
Description: The evolution of “Gravemind” from below. All the "Graveborns" are Level/Rank 8 DARK Plants, locking you to that Level/Rank during the turn you use them. All the maindeck mosnters have 2 effects: 1)A generic summoning condition. 2)A self-reanimation whenever you Special a DARK Plant (that will need to be Level/Rank 8 due to their restriction) from the GY. They’re basically a Rank 8 Xyz Deck, and Dangers! compliment them well.

Title: Toxoplasma
Link
Level: Weak
Description: Slime monsters. The common mechanic of the monsters is: 1)“Gains 200 ATK for each “Slime” Normal Monster in your GY." 2)"If this card battles a monster, after damage calculation: Destroy that monster.”. “Toxoplasmas” use the 3 “Slime” Normal Monsters (“Change Slime”, “Humanoid Slime” and the recently recruited “Slime Toad”) as ammunition, triggering a variety of effects. They act more as a Rank 4 engine, and they take full advantage of the “Slime” Normal Monster status.

THEME:- Themed after the acidity of slimes, and “the Blob” movie from the 80s, and the “Toxoplasmosis” disease, every single one of their names is a pun (with the best one being naturally “Toxoplasma Kono Idaski Da!”, which doesn’t actually play well with the rest of the deck, but it’s super fun).

Title: Triangle of Doom
Link
Level: Weak
Description: With obvious inspirations from the Bermuda Triangle and “Hazy Flame”s as a prototype, “Triangle’s” is a series instead of an archetype, consisting of Level/Rank 6 WATERS. Their gimmick is that if an opponent’s effect that targets them were to resolve in a column with no Spells/Traps of theirs, that effect is automatically negated. The difference from “Hazy Flames” is that you are basically baiting your opponent, making them Set/Activate cards in your monsters’ columns so they can do their targeting effect, only for you to chain MST or something similar, getting rid of 2 cards for the price of 1, as the targeting effect fizzles.
