Dark Lotus - Reviving an Archetype #5 (20/20)


Atypical-Abbie

Recommended Posts

Dark Lotus is an Archetype of Plant/DARK monsters with various Levels. They focus on Ritual Summoning and Level manipulation. Each non-Ritual Monster has an effect that increases their Level by the Level of all other Dark Lotus you control, for example a Level 2 and a Level 4 would both become Level 6. The Ritual Monsters focuses on locking your opponent's Spells/Traps down, destroying them etc. They only use Spells as well, and have one of each Spell Card Type.
 
I decided to do this Archetype as I recently made another Archetype that had similar religious themes, so I remembered this one that I always found pretty interesting. The name and theme are thus based around a fictional religion that pray to an evil plant God, the Creator seen in here, and they are corrupted by it and turned into plants. I changed a fair bit for this Archetype, as well as adding 6 new cards, all that made them able to more easily get monsters on the field and search.
 
[spoiler=Original Version (14/14)]

Dark Lotus is an Archetype made for Project Evolution on DNF, but I thought that I would show it here as well. The Archetype is a Ritual Monster based one, that mainly focuses on increasing the Levels of the monsters for various effects, as well as making Ritual Summoning easier. They are themed as a religion or cult. They are Plant-Type/DARK with various Levels.
