| Amorphage | Casual | Pendulum archetype with various flood gate effect to all cards except Amorphage (both monster and scale effect) with tributing monster as maintainance cost. The deck is almost unplayable due to pendulum scales not wide enough. Serves more as a lore archetype for the dracoslayer story | 0 | View Edit | |

| Ancient Warrior | Casual | Not Yet | 0 | View Edit | |
| Armed Dragon | Casual | Main monsters rely on keeping weaker monsters out on the field so they can level up to their more powerful forms, according to their effects or with the use of the card Level Up! Other Armed Dragon monsters, such as Dark Armed Dragon, have nothing to do with the archetype itself but rather work as tech options for other decks. | 0 | View Edit | |
| Aroma | Casual | Rely on their LP to be higher than their opponents. Plant type monsters have 2 effects, 1 continuous effect that is active when you have higher life points and 1 that activates when you gain life points. Female members have extra deck equivalents (2 synchros and 1 link) and the archetype as a whole relies on/benefits from its 3 continuous traps and Aroma Jar. | 0 | View Edit | |

| Blackwing | Casual | A control deck that generates a stream of new monsters via Black Whirlwind, and messes with the opponent's plans via Icarus Attack and Kalut (an Honest-like hand trap that only affects Blackwings). Thanks to a few of them having Six Samurai-style self special summoning effects, they can end games quickly when they spot a weakness. | 3 | View Edit | |
| Blue-Eyes | Meta | Focuses on using Blue-Eyes White Dragon and other Blue-Eyes for beatdown, card destruction and all kinds of Special Summons mechanics, except Pendulum and Link. Relies on Alternative Dragon, Trade-in and Melody of Awakening Dragon to prevent dead hands. | 9 | View Edit | |

| Crusadia | Casual |
Extremely consistent Archetype, focuses to Link climb into Equimax, for which you only need 2 Crusadia monsters, boost him with atk and preferably double battle dmg to push for a otk. Crusadia monster can special themselves into link zones and the Link Crusadia monsters effects activate when something is summoned to their linked zones. Traps and Spells are available to support and, like the Monsters, all searchable. Turn 2 OTK DMain Deck Monster able to Special Summon to the Zone link monster point to for Link Climbing | 3 | View Edit | |
| Crystal Beast | Casual | All Crystal Beast monster cards have the ability to be sent to the Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Continuous Spell Card after being destroyed by battle. Crystal Abundance is often used OTKs. Rainbow Dragon is seen occasionally but is much slower. Due to CBs becoming Spell Cards after destruction, Dimensional Fissure works great in this deck. | 0 | View Edit | |
| Crystron | Casual | Not Yet | 0 | View Edit | |
| Cubic | Casual | OTK with Nova or scoop with bad hand | 0 | View Edit | |
| Cyber Angel | Casual | Fairy Ritual Deck where the low level ritual monsters have effects when tributed, gives generic ritual support | 0 | View Edit | |
| Cyber Dragon | Casual | Cyber Dragon Zwei, Drei, Core, and Proto-Cyber Dragon all have an effect that treats them as if their name is Cyber Dragon. You can take advantage of this by using them to fuse for Cyber Twin and Cyber End or contact fuse into Chimeratech Barrier Dragon (which can use your opponent's machines) or Chimeratech Megafleet Dragon (which can use anything in either extra monster zone + 1 Cyber Dragon), basically being able to have more than three copies of Cyber Dragon. Using Machine Duplication on Cyber Dragon Core will also allow you to summon up to 2 copies of Cyber Dragon to the field from your deck. Limiter Removal, Power Bond and Solidarity can help boost your monster's ATK by a lot. However, they can be risky and leave you in a bad state if your opponent can stop you from attacking, so take caution in when you play them and if you can immediately recover. Cyber Dragon Nova helps with getting your Cyber Dragons out of the GY as well as being able to be used as an overlay unit into Cyber Dragon Infinity, which is an amazing control option in the deck, allowing you to attach one of your opponent's monsters to it as an overlay unit on your turn, and as a quick effect can detach one unit to negate and destroy any effects your opponent may use, forcing them to have to waste resources dealing with Infinity. Cyber Dragon Sieger is a good Link 2 as you can essentially double the ATK of any Cyber Dragon you control as a quick effect as the cost of Sieger not being able to deal damage that turn. Good support to use is Galaxy Soldier, which as a level 5 machine, can be used for most the monsters in your extra deck and searches itself after you special summon it, which I recommend using Cyber Dragon Herz for this effect, and also use Qliphort Genius which you can activate its effect using Machine Duplication | 2 | View Edit | |
| Cyberdark | Casual | Machine-type monsters that equip themselves with dragons to boost their attack and add protection. Original playstyle is slow and unreliable, later releases have turned this archetype into a sub-archetype for Cyber Dragons, making it more viable but taking away its unique character. | 1 | View Edit | |
| Cyberse Code Taker | Rogue | Not Yet | 0 | View Edit | |
| D/D/D | Rogue | Relies on Dark Contract continuous spells that have powerful effects but inflict damage to you during your SP. Pendulum Summoning and the effects of the Extra Deck monsters are used to summon several big monsters quickly. Boss monsters use damage to your advantage. Lower level Fusion/Synchro monsters help SS higher level Fusion/Synchro/xyz monsters with lots of negates. | Fiend | 6 | View Edit |
| Danger | Casual | Focuses on revealing the a Danger! monster in your hand and let the opponent choose 1 random card in your hand to discard. Triggers various effect based on if the discarded card was that Danger! monster or not, mimicing a monster search and capture process. If the guess missed the Danger! monster, they can usually special summon themselves from your hand and offer an extra effect. Some Danger! monsters can be a good beater and other offer disruption or draw power, hence it is often used as a support engine | 0 | View Edit | |
| Dark Magician | Casual |
| 0 | View Edit | |
| Dark World | Casual | Monster effects trigger when discarded from the hand by card effects which the archetype's spells provide. Draw power through Dark World Dealings and the Field Spell The Gates of Dark World which both help to discard Dark World Monsters from hand. Messes with opponent's hand as well. Boss monster (Grapha) is easily summonable from the hand or GY by returning one Dark World monster from the field to the hand, offering another chance to discard it and get its effect. | 4 | View Edit | |
| Darklord | Casual | Discards Darklord cards from the hand to perform Special Summons, then copies Darklord Spell/Trap effects in the Graveyard in combination with monster effects | 0 | View Edit | |

| Dracoslayer | Rogue | Received competetive potential after the DABL support. Focuses on cyclying through the 3 new dracoslayer pendulum monsters and the dracoslayer exra deck monsters to generate masssive resources for board building to end up on multiple negates and/or locks through abyss dweller or necrovalley. The majority of dracoslayer main deck monsters are lv4 and ed ones lvl 8 hence they can access a wide pool of generic lv/rank 4 and 8 ed monsters or link climbing. The dracoslayer synchro has a search effect that is not hard once per turn hence can be abused through multiple copies and is the main goal of resource gain. | 0 | View Edit | |
| Dracotail | Meta |
- Extra Deck: Dracotail Arthalion allow to targets monsters on the field and/or GY and adds them to your hand depending on the number of materials that came from the hand. It help recover the resources, or disruption. - Main Deck Dracotail Monsters are the ability to Set Dracotail Spells or Traps when they are sent to the GY as Fusion Material - Trap Card: Dracotail Flame negates a Spell Card, Dracotail Horn bounces a monster in Attack Position to the hand, and Dracotail Sting banishes a monster and/or Spell/Trap from their GY. | Fusion, Dragon, Spellcaster | 12 | View Edit |

| Dragon Ruler | Casual | The majority of Dragon rulers are banned due to their powerful effects hence this archetype is competely unavaialbe. | 0 | View Edit | |
| Dragonmaid | Casual | Not Yet | 0 | View Edit | |
| Dragunity | Casual | Summons 1-card Level 6/8 Synchros through the combo of Dux + Phalanx (and Vajrayana). The addition of Dragon Rulers adds the option of Rank 7s, as well as more cheap level 8s via Corsesca. The gameplan is then to ride these big monsters to victory through backrow protection, or just outright OTK. | Dragon | 0 | View Edit |
| Dream Mirror | Casual | Tag out effects between light and dark monsters using the field spell cards. Lore is rooted in Greek Mythology. | 0 | View Edit | |
| Drytron | Rogue | A Light Machine archtype that focuses on ritual and ritual support. Their ritual spell allows ritual summoning from the hand or gy by tributing monsters based on attack value, thus creating a unique way of ritual summoning bypassing level requirements. All drytron monsters cannot be normal summoned but rely on gy effects to special summon and lock the player into playing monsters that can only be special summoned. Their ritual spell can summon any ritual monster but requires light machines to function (drytron monsters) hence it is often used as a ritual support engine and is the current existing best semi-generic ritual support. They have seen good synergy with cyber angel, diviner, light fairies/heralds often ending on Herald of Ultimateness and negating everything. Other variants include a mixture of nekroz and gishki | 1 | View Edit | |

Mainly focused on self-destruction revolves around destroying friendly monsters in the hand, field or deck to make plays and set up the Graveyard recursion of its Main Deck boss monsters, Paired with powerful FIRE Links such as Their boss monster nukes all monsters and SS itself from GY during the SP after getting destroyed by a card effect, or in the BP after being destroyed summons directly from Deck. They can start a powerful chain reaction of effects at the End of the Damage Step, where interactions are highly limited and not every player knows what can happen.

| Fur Hire | Casual | This archetype relies heavily on normal summoning a lower level monster Fur Hire in order to swarm the field with even stronger monsters Fur Hire. The level 1-4 monsters Fur Hire have the ability to special summon another monster Fur Hire from the hand to the field, and another ability that triggers when a monster Fur Hire is special summoned while the card is face up on the field. The level 5-8 monsters Fur Hire has abilities that either let them negate card effects or force the opponent to target them, in addition to an ability that activates when they are special summoned which heavily relies on the amount of monsters Fur Hire you control with different names. Spell and Trap cards in this archetype focus mainly on recovering monsters Fur Hire from the GY, or guaranteeing drawing a monster Fur Hire in your draw phase. The Link monster Folgo, Justice Fur Hire requires 3 monsters with different Types, but lets you special summon a monster Fur Hire with a different Type from the materials used, in addition to letting you draw cards once per turn when you destroy and opponents card. | 0 | View Edit | |

They all trigger the effect the next standby phase after banished, with Paces and Shif ss themselves and Zep ss itself if banished during the oppenets turn. The higher leveled ghotis dont see much play execpt Snopios and Ixeep. Their main starter is a level 6 fish synchro that can immediately go into a level 8 with its effect to then banish a card in your oppoenets turn. The deck's theme is to play during your opponents turn, intrupting their plays while banishing ghotis so they can come back the next turn for further plays. Because their reliance on banishing and activating their effect next turn, ghoti can bypass a lot of hand traps. Dimension shifter and crossout designator are exellent cards for this deck. The deck has some synergy with generic fish monsters, myutants (banish plays), spright (generic lv2 support) and melffy (playing in the opponents turn, quick synchro with pinny and hop ear squadron) | 2 | View Edit | |

| Libromancer | A ritual focused archetype. All non-ritual libromancer monsters share the effect to ss themsleves by revealing a ritual monster in your hand and have a additional effect if they were ss, hence they have a decent swarm ability. Their field spell is a monster searcher and enables infinite in-archetype ritual summoning as long as materials are fullfiled. The deck has fair consistency but their in-archetype ritual monsters are not very good and don't see much play except Doom Broker. Because doom broker is a lv6 ritual it has a good synergy with the diviner-benten engine and has some synergy with nekroz and Mikanko. Though they have some recycling methods, they still share the pain of all ritual archetypes. The deck is more used as a ritual hybrid engine to bring out materials | 0 | View Edit | ||
| Lightsworn | Monsters force milling from deck to GY. Monsters like Wulf are special summoned when milled. Attempts to get out boss monster Judgment Dragon (special summon from hand with at least 4 different Lightsworn monsters in GY).

| Magical Musket | Casual | Maintain card advantage by recycling spell and trap cards, all of which can be played from your hand at any time while you controll a Magical Musket. The deck leans heavily towards board control and uses its small creatures to chip down the opponent. It relies on maintaining a full hand and on having at least one of their creatures in play at all times. Their link monster is incredibly powerful and gives a significant amount of card advantage. The creatures activate when a spell or trap is activated in their column (including opponent's cards). | 0 | View Edit | |
| Magikey | Casual | A interesting archetype utilizing different summoning methods and normal monsters to fuel summon. They trigger effects by matching your graveyard's monsters' attributes with those your opponents controls. Can easily go into lv8 synchro or r4 xyz. The deck is very inconsistent due to its main extender and searcher being a lv4 ritual monster. In order to activate some effects you also need normal monsters with different attributes in your graveyard or as material hence the archetype benifits greatly from high/adv ritual art and piercing the darkness. the boss monsters dont have high attack or resistances mostly 2.8k and lacks disruption abilities in the oppoenets turn. It desperately needs some support cards since halq and auroradon are banned | 0 | View Edit | |

| Melffy | A cute beast archetype which revolves around swarming the field through starters like Obedience School, Rescue Cat and Nimble Beaver to go into Beast-type Synchros or XYZ. All Melffys have the ability to special summon them at the end of the turn and can bounce themselves back to the hand to get advantage when the opponent summons or attack targets the Melffy. The archetype enables playing during your opponents turn to slightly disrupt them, usually used as a resource engine along tri-brigade or spright | 0 | View Edit | ||
| Melodious | Music themed LIGHT fairies that gain or trigger effects upon being special summoned. They can easily set up a near inpenetrable wall with Aria and Elegy or bring out powerful boss monsters such as Bloom Prima. | 0 | View Edit | ||
| Memento | Rogue | - Fusion deck with multiple one-card combos
- Has an OTK - Has multiple dodges in the form of Quick-Spells -Pretty big engine -Very GY reliant -Somewhat bricky | 4 | View Edit | |
| Mermail | Combo centered deck, capable of inflicting quick OTKs. Some need to discard a monster to activate the effect, others activate their effects when discarded. The Atlantean archetype activate their effects when they are used as a cost for a WATER monster; so they can be discarded by mermails for stronger combos. | 0 | View Edit | ||

| Mitsurugi | Meta | Ritual deck focused on tributing and resummoning after the tribute. Often paired with another deck since too bricky on it's own. | Reptiles, Ritual | 5 | View Edit |
| Monarch | Tribute monsters that gain an effect when summoned, (usually) removing an opponent's card(s) from the field. All of them apart from Delg and Kuraz must be tribute summoned for this effect. Tribute fodder can be taken from the opponent with Soul Exchange/The Monarchs Storm Forth, or generated for free with Treeborn Frog (Commonly referred to as Frognarchs, though that isn't purely just the Monarch archetype), although using Frog forces you to miss out on some powerful new continuous support cards such as Escalation of the Monarchs, March of the Monarchs and The Monarchs Erupt. | 0 | View Edit | ||
| Morphtronic | Has two effects that is chosen by the battle position. Emphasis on Equip Spell Cards, Synchro plays, the two Cellphones making large fields, and their field spell making everything in the deck a beater and giving a float mechanic upon destruction. | 0 | View Edit | ||
| Myutant | A evolution based archetype, the lower level monsters share the effect to search a mutant spell/trap/monster to your hand. They can also tribute themselves and banish 1 card in your hand or deck to summon higher level myutants from your deck, the type you can summon depends on what card you banished and the higher level myutants have corresponding resistance and negation abilities. The extra deck myutants are fusion monsters that require multiple high level myutants as material. They also have various ways to recycle banished myutants and fusion using the banishment zone. The archetype focuses on a grind play with flood gate traps such as there can only be one | 0 | View Edit | ||
| Naturia | Naturia Beasts and Barkion make an easy lockdown. This is a Duel Terminal deck. The naturia are naturally peacefull creatures who would rather defend themselves than attack but they do have some mighty creatures in their extra deck that can both stall and attack. | 0 | View Edit | ||
| Naturia Runick | Not Yet | 2 | View Edit | ||
| Nekroz | A Ritual deck with enormous consistency thanks to a large number of search effects and great versatility thanks to every card having multiple uses. Non-ritual monsters generally have search effects that trigger when tributed by card effects (i.e. ritual spells and Valkyrus) and recovery effects that trigger when banished. Ritual monsters have one effect activated by discarding the monster in question and one active on the field; low-level (3-6) monsters have discard effects that get more Nekroz cards to the hand or field and field effects that disrupt the opponent's Extra Deck monsters, while high-level Nekroz ritual monsters have discard effects that protect their fellow Nekroz and field effects that remove cards or generate advantage. Nekroz ritual spells require that the levels of the tributes add up to exactly the level of the monster summoned (or vice versa, in one case), and allow Ritual Summoning from the GY, banishing monsters from the GY instead of tributing, or tributing monsters from the Extra Deck to summon multiple ritual monsters at once. | 0 | View Edit | ||
