Deep Sleep - Reviving an Archetype #3 (18/18)

[Atypical-Abbie]

Deep Sleep is an Archetype of Level 3 and 6 DARK monsters with various Types. They also have a single Level 8 boss monster, as well as new Xyz Monsters. They focus on changing your opponent's monsters to face-down Defense Position and making them unable to change their battle position, which they do by their shared effect that flips themselves and an opponent's monster face-down. Along with that, their Level 6s gain a boosted effect if they used their Level 3 counterpart, and newly also gain even more boost if they control their Field Spell Dream Abyss. Their name and theming refer to sleep and dreams in general, and the Level 3s all share "Shadow" and the Level 6s all share "Nightmare" in their names.

 

When updating this one, I decided to focus on their Field Spell boosting them, as well as adding Xyz Monsters, which are not their main playstyle, but felt like they had no use for the Extra Deck regardless, so why not give them a few more options, and another boss monster option. They also needed more searching options, since they are mostly focused on face-down and Tribute Summon mechanics, so they needed something to power them up a bit. I also don't know if Nightmare Dreamer technically would be able to use its alternate Summoning method, but let's just say it's the exception to the rule considering that the whole point is to flip Shadow Dreamer face-down in the first place.

 

[spoiler=Original Version (11/11)]
Deep Sleep is an Archetype which focuses on changing the opponent's monsters to face-down Defense Position. When they do this, they also put themselves face-down as well. There are 3 Level 3 monsters and 3 Level 6 monsters. The Level 3s and Level 6s share the same types, which is why their names are similar, and the Level 6 gets boosted by Tributing their Level 3 counterpart. They also have a boss monster, as well as Spell and Trap Cards to support them.

Once again, these use the number system, where the number represents the same effect that they all share.
