Revealing Light - Forming an Archetype #29 (9/9)


Atypical-Abbie

Recommended Posts

Revealing Light is an Archetype of LIGHT Level 8 monsters (and 1 Level 4). They focus on defensive strategies and easy Special Summoning for quick Xyz Summons. This Archetype already has quite a few members already, so I have kept it a bit shorter than I normally would. One thing I have to note about these is that the Japanese name, Protective Seal, for this has a few more cards that work with it, which is something to keep in mind here, and if this was real, the older cards would get a condition to explain that they're part of this Archetype.
 
Original Card:

I like the whole Light concept and protection effects. They're like Ghostricks that can make big m'f***as and have much more good xyz's at hand. Although I find some of these cards lacking with the original flavor and clinging more on the Op generic meta side. But hey, this is s'pposed to tame the meta, so unless it's pendulum I should already expect that...

 

So, speaking of the cards separately, these are my thoughts on each one-

 

Wyvern - Makes sense that a 2k beatstick has a self-destruct downside. I guess if you're really that desperate you can blow this on normal summon to search next turn...I can see that happen sometimes, judging by the Deck's Spell oriented playstyle.

 

Magician - Very crucial for opening good plays as it fills the grave and has pretty decent stat. And also makes the lockdowns more consistent.

 

Lion - Another good answer for targeting effects. Can be recycled by engine if you feel it can be useful, and if your opponent acknowledges the risk and decides to not trigger it, there's also the special summon effect during your turn allowing for more xyz plays. Hey, that's Magician's text on the end! Lol typo.

 

Angel - A solid Xyz enabler. Instant +1 if Summoned with Restoration.

 

Dragon - So this is what you're supposed to sit on while coupled with some helmets to make the opponent not be able to play yugioh. Not bad. Can't say much about its effects, other than its a pretty standard boss in charge of making their plays seem legit, with all the necessary tools that are present in today's meta.

 

Solitude - Not liking how much this card limits yur opp plays, I mean, this is what makes stupid Lockdowns even more stupid, not only in this Deck, and it also protects itself. Make it protect only other cards, except itself, like an Imperial Custom.
