New Archetype inspired by the old Element monsters (Written)

[The Old Charlelot]

Hey everyone,

 

This is an archetype that I’ve been messing around for a while now. I always wanted to continue the “Element” series that was first released in Soul of the Duelist but never really found a way to circumvent the fact that there name could affect quite a few other archetypes. So instead, I give you the Archeans: half complete archetype, half generic support for pure Attribute decks. I imagined this series being a sort of antagonist to the old “Element” monsters while having similar abilities.

 

As always, I’d love to hear what you guys think about those. Until then, have a nice day.

 

(Note. For those interested, Archean refer to one of the geological era of the Earth in which the crust had cooled enough to allow life to start (around 4 to 2.5 billion years ago). Hadean is the period where the planet was still forming and was more or less a chaotic mess.)
