(Written) Backlash Archetype

[Phelphor, of the Deep]

Backlash is all about to counter and give out some back lashes. They do not have a lot offense but can throw back pain to opponent via flips. During the opponent's standby phase, they flip themselves down then waits for opponent to hit em. getting flip over will cause a backlash .... see why the archetype name kicks in?

 

 

The are beast warriors with low attack but high defense which works well since they flip themselves face-down during the opponent standby phase. They return cards to the hand to remove threats after being flip while shuffling cards in the hand to get the right combos out so when they do get flip down during the opponent's turn to get the right removal effect.

 

 

Its a punishing, grinding and, durdle archetype concept. You do not munch while you whittles down the opponent's resources with flipping 2-3 monsters each turn and removing threats, leaving the opponent only using top of the deck and etc.

 

 

Archetype is designed for great recovery and reducing bricking while giving the player great options through most scenarios they may encounter. Getting 1-2 monster flipping each turn creates a big if not huge disadvantage for the opponent.
