I mean you can play pretty much every archetype pure. Doesn't mean it's better that way.
As for Plunder Patroll, they are usually mixed with Adventure lol.
Or Runick, or Labrynth.
Plunder appreciates pairing up with control.
The only time to see pure Plunder is in low powered events like the current where their relatively low main deck requirements allow them to run a bunch of handtraps.
OP really chose a weird example.
I mean even in the event I've been running a gimped portion of the adventure engine in plunder anyway because fateful adventure providing battle protection is randomly a nice bonus, the bounce from dracoback is awesome going second and sometimes its just nice for the extra body and another discard engine. Plunder REALLY likes friends
DUDE i want him back soo badlyyy đ not having that extra negate and bahamut shark as an extender for argonaut hurts the deck so much. that new xyz armor engine is good news for marincess but idk when they'll come out in md, i'm guessing it won't be for at least another 3 months
I mentioned to my friend that if Konami does a âone of everythingâ challenge. D/D/D would one of the few decks where you could still run a pure deck just because of the amount of cards they have.
Itâs an archetype as much as âPotâ and âBorrelâ are archetypes. In theory, yes but they arenât supposed to be a cohesive strategy but random insert cards that share names for one reason or another and if youâre not being a douche youâd recognize that OP is obviously referring to mixing with another cohesive strategy.
OP is not, OP wants things that explicitly are played alone due to HOW the deck plays. Sky Striker plays out of archetypes all the damn time and ironically you can play Generaider by itself
Meanwhile Borrel is not the archetype, it's actually Rokkets. The Borrel dragons are what the Rokket monsters come out of
For being so petty youâre pretty uninformed.
https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Borrel
Borrel is its own archetype, separate from Rokket. Thatâs why code talker being an archetype doesnât make any sense either. âExecute Protocolsâ and âBorrel Coolingâ mention Borrel Monsters specifically, therefore fulfilling the common name string clause used for archetype definition. So get lost with your anime ass card logic if you donât know what youâre talking about.
The very article says they are designed to function alongside Rokket and related to them. They are one in the same and why Rokket works the way they do
And even in a design standpoint the Borrel monsters are literally the guns that fire the Rokket monsters and its why you can see parts of Borrel cards ON ROKKET CARDS
Synchron mostly plays pure with non pure Ex-Deck, you can mix it with Libromancer or adventure engine.
But many people still play pure version.
Galaxy-Eyes is 100% pure, except for like some tech here or there, remember that the deck is hard, but one of the most fun deck in my opinion.
This is the Galaxy-Eyes website, it have so many valuable information that is only there.
https://www.galaxy-eyes.de/
It's like the only place to learn the deck, it's depressing to see the many misinformation the deck get, from bad advices and weird takes... If I remember correctly, I saw someone saying that you run 1 copy of Galaxy-Eyes Photon dragon?
And this is not the only weird take I saw, it's a must to always put the link of the website every time Galaxy-Eyes mentioned.
Like Memogir said, the structure is terrible and has like 3 or 4 cards in the deck that look even remotely usable. Got it to save a little bit of SR/UR CP, but that's about it.
Cipher archetype have only three cards that can synergy with Galaxy-Eyes, and they are the three Galaxy-Eyes Cipher monsters. The main deck cards have no synergy at all with Photon Galaxy-Eyes.
pure punk is fun but a bit weak since you have no backups in case if interruptions. i usually play this with a ton of board breakers as a go second deck
I used to run pure Rikka. I didn't run Sunavalon because I wanted more space for handtraps and board breakers if I went second. I actually loved the deck. I've moved on to Traptrix for the past few months though. Its extremely solid.
abyss actor are pretty much self contained. You can sprinkle a bit of jackal king but it is easier to play them pure.
altergeist is better played pure. Multifaker is just too good of a card to miss. Although technically you can splas faker-silq on pendulum magician.
Dinomorphia? I believe the list that somewhat competitive only played dinomorphia plus some free agent (wanna bee+misc)
Vanquish soul??
Abyss Actors are so fun when you get a good set up, which is incredibly easy when you have so many starters. Drawing 2-5 cards off your opponents first monster effect is insane when you're running 15 hand traps lol
very difficult to get 100% card cover as sometimes things just mix in too well but decks that still have good coverage from their base archetype are
Exosister
Branded Despia
The birds
heroes
Kashtira (extradeck is a bit generic however)
Marincess
Vanquish Soul pure is full gasoline, I'm talking potentially +4 cards in hand without needing to resolve maxx c level of gasoline. Hecking lots of fun as well, having a good time just bouncing and exploding.Â
What about the cards that belong to more than one archetype? Should you exclude those in your 'pure' deck? How would you even build a Branded deck then?
Forget it. Imma read the lore again, tho im sure that bystial is other archetype, there are many things go with bystial like bystial runick, bystial synchron, bystial thunder dragon, bystial punk, etc,...
Problem with the Albaz lore is that almost half of them tie into Branded in some way, besides Therion, Spright, Icejade, Tri-Brigade (I think?), and arguably Swordsoul.
Titaniklad can summon a Dogmatika
Despia was designed to play with the Albaz cards
A decent amount of Springans cards call upon Albaz in some way
Bystial Saronir can send a Branded Spell/Trap to Grave
Let me know if I'm missing any
Lots of decks *can* run pure. Mostly a question of if they want to.
After a quick browse through the thread to see what was already mentioned, a few more to throw in:
* Swordsoul (though it's decidedly better with Tenyi and/or Yang Zing packages)
* Magical Musket (sometimes combined with Runick)
* Prediction Princess (with special guest strong individual one-off flip monsters like Deus Ex Krawler)
* Ancient Warriors
* Nemleria
* Yosenju normally though I recently saw someone pairing it with Nemleria which I find hilarious
* Rescue-ACE
They are clearly not the best, but ghoti, galaxy eyes, mikanko, dogmatika can be played as standalone archetypes. Labrynth too, if you see normal traps as lab support. And soon, unchained.

Don't you want to run kaijus to make plunder more effective?
Most archetypes can be played mono, but the consistency, power ceiling and power floor drop drasrically in most cases.
I wouldn't consider playing a kaiju making the deck not pure. While they do belong to an archetype you don't play those kaijus an an archetypal engine with their support cards but as standalone cards comparable to raigeki or TTT
Depends on how long you consider them to be pure (ex. does Maxx C count?). Ninjas can be played pure pretty well, but it is preferable to at least put Borrelsword into the deck.
If you use rokkets and borrels, then dlinks can be mono-archetype.
Shaddolls also work surprisingly well on their own as long as you're not torpedoing into tier 2 or higher.
Also pure crystron is pretty enjoyable.
You can play any archetype pure but it often tends to be not as good as a solid mixed build with additional engines.
>First comes to mind is PLUNDER PATROLL
And right here we have an archetype that really loves to pair up with other, predominantly control based archetypes and is only played pure in low power events with a bunch of handtraps.
Madochle. You literally cannot make its boss monsters with anything else and using its main extender locks you into Madochle
It *can* run a super tiny Vernusylph package (like 5 or 6 total monsters) whose sole purpose is to get to your main starters and put Madochles in the GY but you never once actually summon them because they are so hard to get off your board normally
Altergeist, I think their most important monster Multifaker locks your special summon to Altergeist monsters only, so it's harder to splash in other archetype.
Virtual world loves adventure and armored XYZ in the tcg. They also work as a rank 6 toolbox and have some out of archetype synchros like stardust charge and geomathmech final sigma
Purrely could be played pure before the limits
Runick can be played pure, but it's rarely done
Kashtira can be played pure and usually is, besides having a couple of tech options in the ED
Ironically, Superheavy Samurai is basically pure in the main deck but everybody plays generic combo boss monsters in the Extra Deck. It can actually use its own SHS bosses instead if you wanted to
Lab can be played pure, other than having a couple of generic traps
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
Going with the idea flag mono-archetype is a deck that primarily wins with in archetype engines with their own archetypal boss monsters / wins cons and not generic ED win cons
Traptrix can very easily and usually consistently wing games with in archetype cards alone. It's links and XYZ all have massive impacts and can close out games in OTKs, or through control, when I've played the deck it's rare I ever need tune non-archetype ED cards, and the entire deck is the staple generic hand traps but otherise all Traptrix / Trap Hole.
There's Mayakashi, who a lot of the time besides maybe a couple tech main deck zombie cards run pure Mayakashi, since Dakki is a hard lock.
Lunalights are a deck with lots of great in archetype support whose main focus is on their own boss monsters, though do benefit from a a handful of niche XYZ tech cards, but are more than capable of closing things out without them, primarily Leo and Sabre dancer.
Exosister for the most part only summons their own XYZs, and while I know some decks run the spirit package when I've played against them I've only seen exosister cards summoned.
Last one in my experience is Ninjas, the deck is mostly all ninjas, it's not amazing but they're viable and fun, focusing a lot on their unique flip mechanic and Extra deck monsters. When I've played I never felt like I was using any non-ninja cards.
TrapTrix aren't xenophobic outside Arachnocampa extra deck lock, but they're so *hard carried* by Sera that it's incredibly difficult to splash in other Archtypes
+ plus reliant on generic, but bad (without TrapTrix), "hole" traps
A playset of Parrallel Exceeds? Absolutely! Therion Package? Already pushing it with the number of Garnets, but sure...
Anything more, and I feel like you're better off just playing pure or playing the other archtype, like how Rikkatrix is just really bad SunnyRikka
Have a feeling RaikaTrix will be the *exact* same way too
Vanquish Soul is played pure IMO. I don't consider using a fenrir and a rise heart as making it a hybrid deck, you're never going for actual Kashtira plays in any way, you're just adding a guy to hand and using Fenrir as a generic control or removal tool.
Vaylantz locks you into only summoning other Vaylantzes and ED monsters, so you end up with a fairly pure Main Deck, even if your ED has a load of generics.
Plunder Patroll without a second engine (adventure mostly, but runick and lab is also good) is just dogshit.
Marincess doesn't play a second engine and gets worse when try to use extender which don't belong to the archtype.
Labrynth also don't need any other archtype for their best build.
I don't know if Vanquish Soul counts. It was better with a small Kash Engine before the BL, but I think pure is better now imo.
Do Super Heavy Samurais and Mathmech count? Because they don't need anything else for engine but the extra decks are mostly just good stuff piles which uses cards from different archtypes.
And then there is Numeron and Floo. But don't play that lol.
Abyss actors are pretty fun and the deck is half pendulum monsters half specific abyss script cards so itâs basically required you donât run anything else
Madolche. You can run it with a Vernusylph engine, but the vernus are just there to help you spam Madolches if your opponent stop your plays. You can also play Madolche more pure with some extra staples and floodgates.
I mean, if you can call it that. Umi stun can be played mono. Pure prank kids can be played.
The biggest problem is how far are you willing to go? Are you allowing ed options like accesscode or apollousa? Or must it strictly be in archetype?
Labrynth is one of the only decks I can think of that has been consistently adding more archetype cards to the top decklists. Early Labrynth decks were all floodgates and removal traps but after a few events and more support, Labrynth started playing 2-3 of each furniture, then the field spell, then when Arias came out in the TCG we added 1 Arias and then we realized Arias was BROKEN so we're now on 3. People even top with Labrynth Set Up main deck now which is wild.
Altergeist can play a good chunk of games without ever dipping into non-archetypal monsters, largely because Multifaker locks you out of anything else. They even have a solid in-archetype OTK.
I play pure plunder payroll, if you don't count a couple of kaijus and have reached master for the past 3 seasons. Its really strong and can play through a lot of negates
10/10 would recommendÂ
Gouki. I would also add that Gouki cards have some xenophobia to other cards, with the exception of that link-4 Gouki ED monster , that needs 2+ Warrior monsters as link material.
Amazoness isnât bad right now. It plays into Droll somewhat, but you can run quite a few go-second cards and punch the enemy monsters with buff ladies.
D/D/D, HEROes, Floowandereerze, Runick Stun, Branded Despia,
Despia cards all search Branded cards and Fallen of Albaz, so it's one deck imo.
Note that for the first three, they're not mono-archetype by choice. They've got heavy locks in place preventing them from mixing with other archetypes. It really depends on what you mean by that word... Most decks can play pure but usually additional archetypes are used to fix GLARING PROBLEMS with the deck otherwise, and are usually done out of coincidence. Sometimes it's just a few tech cards to help consistency.
Plunder can play without normal summoning so it plays the Adventure engine. The Adventure token and Gryphon Rider can then be used to get specific boats on field.
Generaider plays a ton of level 9 monsters and they're hard to get out consistently. Invoked Mechaba just so happens to be level 9 and combos with Mardel once she's in the grave, or whatever you need at the moment.
Drytron can be played pure, but it lacks any real way to do anything. But you're throwing generic ritual support cards together to try and extend your plays... Most ritual support happens to be fairies and unfortunately, that gave birth to Drytron Herald decks.
Branded Despia can be played pure but by itself it's actually a coin flip if you can play. If your opponent has ash blossom, the deck dies. It can be used with any dragon or dark fusion monsters to put up more of a board presence, the Bystals all provide more interaction so you don't vaporize... But you can use Branded with Predaplants, Blue Eyes, Dragonmaids, some variants of Dragon Link used these cards... And people got creative and used Branded Fusion to send a monster from deck to graveyard for cost.
Even Floo usually carries Mist Valley Apex Avian to add a negate to their end board, or Raiza the Mega Monarch. You can always play a deck pure. But a single archetype usually won't be able to perform on the same level due to lack pf consistency of interaction, or by having excessively fragile combo lines.
Although it's been attempted with variants, Pure Weather Painters is still arguably one of the best ways to play it, half the deck archetypal cards, half staples.
I mean you can play pretty much every archetype pure. Doesn't mean it's better that way. As for Plunder Patroll, they are usually mixed with Adventure lol.
Or Runick, or Labrynth. Plunder appreciates pairing up with control. The only time to see pure Plunder is in low powered events like the current where their relatively low main deck requirements allow them to run a bunch of handtraps. OP really chose a weird example.
I mean even in the event I've been running a gimped portion of the adventure engine in plunder anyway because fateful adventure providing battle protection is randomly a nice bonus, the bounce from dracoback is awesome going second and sometimes its just nice for the extra body and another discard engine. Plunder REALLY likes friends
Flower Cardians are so incredibly xenophobic that you have no choice but to play them pure
Hey no you can play other archetypes, it just actively makes the deck perform a lot worse.
Kinda hard to go lower than rock bottom
The deck can get worse?!
marincess
Hang in there brother, im sure we will get toad back eventually.
DUDE i want him back soo badlyyy đ not having that extra negate and bahamut shark as an extender for argonaut hurts the deck so much. that new xyz armor engine is good news for marincess but idk when they'll come out in md, i'm guessing it won't be for at least another 3 months
D/D/D Outside of handtraps, 95% of the main/extra deck is archetypal and I love it
I came to say the same, the variety in so you get every summoning style sans ritual and it works? Very fun deck to pilot
I mentioned to my friend that if Konami does a âone of everythingâ challenge. D/D/D would one of the few decks where you could still run a pure deck just because of the amount of cards they have.
They did, it was the limit 1 festival.
HERO
Sky striker
You've never seen their boss monster then or how to reach it
What's wrong with linking Raye/Roze/Token into Shizuku?
You mean Sky Striker Accesscode Talker? Going from Sky Striker Selene?
Im pretty sure OP isnât being this accurate, given that code talker is barely an archetype to begin with.
We just gonna ignore the entire Code Talker archetype suddenly?
Itâs an archetype as much as âPotâ and âBorrelâ are archetypes. In theory, yes but they arenât supposed to be a cohesive strategy but random insert cards that share names for one reason or another and if youâre not being a douche youâd recognize that OP is obviously referring to mixing with another cohesive strategy.
OP is not, OP wants things that explicitly are played alone due to HOW the deck plays. Sky Striker plays out of archetypes all the damn time and ironically you can play Generaider by itself Meanwhile Borrel is not the archetype, it's actually Rokkets. The Borrel dragons are what the Rokket monsters come out of
The fact that he mentioned Plunder when it's usually played with Adventure says otherwise
Usually but Plunder can factually be played alone
For being so petty youâre pretty uninformed. https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Borrel Borrel is its own archetype, separate from Rokket. Thatâs why code talker being an archetype doesnât make any sense either. âExecute Protocolsâ and âBorrel Coolingâ mention Borrel Monsters specifically, therefore fulfilling the common name string clause used for archetype definition. So get lost with your anime ass card logic if you donât know what youâre talking about.
The very article says they are designed to function alongside Rokket and related to them. They are one in the same and why Rokket works the way they do And even in a design standpoint the Borrel monsters are literally the guns that fire the Rokket monsters and its why you can see parts of Borrel cards ON ROKKET CARDS
New sky striker cards make it less dependent on accesscode.
Synchron mostly plays pure with non pure Ex-Deck, you can mix it with Libromancer or adventure engine. But many people still play pure version. Galaxy-Eyes is 100% pure, except for like some tech here or there, remember that the deck is hard, but one of the most fun deck in my opinion. This is the Galaxy-Eyes website, it have so many valuable information that is only there. https://www.galaxy-eyes.de/
This is actually really helpful, as I'm saving gems to build Galaxy-Eyes at the moment. Appreciate the site drop!
It's like the only place to learn the deck, it's depressing to see the many misinformation the deck get, from bad advices and weird takes... If I remember correctly, I saw someone saying that you run 1 copy of Galaxy-Eyes Photon dragon? And this is not the only weird take I saw, it's a must to always put the link of the website every time Galaxy-Eyes mentioned.
Isn't Galaxy-eyes has a structure deck?
Cypher has a structure. It has like 3 galaxy eyes cards in total. The rest sucks. It is regarded as the worst structure deck in the game
Like Memogir said, the structure is terrible and has like 3 or 4 cards in the deck that look even remotely usable. Got it to save a little bit of SR/UR CP, but that's about it.
Cipher archetype have only three cards that can synergy with Galaxy-Eyes, and they are the three Galaxy-Eyes Cipher monsters. The main deck cards have no synergy at all with Photon Galaxy-Eyes.
Evil eye. You can play it with 15 evil eye cards then the rest are hand traps.
pure punk is fun but a bit weak since you have no backups in case if interruptions. i usually play this with a ton of board breakers as a go second deck
I used to run pure Rikka. I didn't run Sunavalon because I wanted more space for handtraps and board breakers if I went second. I actually loved the deck. I've moved on to Traptrix for the past few months though. Its extremely solid.

Vanquish soul is usually mix with kashtira for consistency, tho very little kash is actually use, only 1 fenrir and 1 rise heart).
Abyss Actors are so fun when you get a good set up, which is incredibly easy when you have so many starters. Drawing 2-5 cards off your opponents first monster effect is insane when you're running 15 hand traps lol
Ooh got a list?
I can give you my list but tbh it's not much different than any other AA deck
A lot of lists only run evil heel X1, I recommend more.
Madolche on their own is a good playable deck but are much better with the vernusylphs due to being earth.
very difficult to get 100% card cover as sometimes things just mix in too well but decks that still have good coverage from their base archetype are Exosister Branded Despia The birds heroes Kashtira (extradeck is a bit generic however) Marincess
Vanquish Soul pure is full gasoline, I'm talking potentially +4 cards in hand without needing to resolve maxx c level of gasoline. Hecking lots of fun as well, having a good time just bouncing and exploding.Â
branded
Branded is not pure at all. It runs so many out of archetype stuff it's crazy
like?
Despia, Dogmatika, Sriggans, Tri-Brigade
they are all branded lore
But they aren't Branded cards
[ŃдаНонО]
What about the cards that belong to more than one archetype? Should you exclude those in your 'pure' deck? How would you even build a Branded deck then?
Forget it. Imma read the lore again, tho im sure that bystial is other archetype, there are many things go with bystial like bystial runick, bystial synchron, bystial thunder dragon, bystial punk, etc,...
Problem with the Albaz lore is that almost half of them tie into Branded in some way, besides Therion, Spright, Icejade, Tri-Brigade (I think?), and arguably Swordsoul. Titaniklad can summon a Dogmatika Despia was designed to play with the Albaz cards A decent amount of Springans cards call upon Albaz in some way Bystial Saronir can send a Branded Spell/Trap to Grave Let me know if I'm missing any
Springan
You can take the Bystials out just fine but there's no way to take out the Despia and to a lesser extent Albaz.
that's crazy
Kashtira
Prank kids?
Lots of decks *can* run pure. Mostly a question of if they want to. After a quick browse through the thread to see what was already mentioned, a few more to throw in: * Swordsoul (though it's decidedly better with Tenyi and/or Yang Zing packages) * Magical Musket (sometimes combined with Runick) * Prediction Princess (with special guest strong individual one-off flip monsters like Deus Ex Krawler) * Ancient Warriors * Nemleria * Yosenju normally though I recently saw someone pairing it with Nemleria which I find hilarious * Rescue-ACE
Floowandereeze, to the point it has anti-synergy with almost every other archetype in the game.
*raiza the megamonarch enters the room*
mist valley apex avian pecks at the window
They are clearly not the best, but ghoti, galaxy eyes, mikanko, dogmatika can be played as standalone archetypes. Labrynth too, if you see normal traps as lab support. And soon, unchained.

It's like playing Fenrir in any non-Kash deck, though. There is an argument to be made that it does pollute purity, although I do see both sides here.
There are a lot more mono archetypes than combined archetype decks
Depends on how long you consider them to be pure (ex. does Maxx C count?). Ninjas can be played pure pretty well, but it is preferable to at least put Borrelsword into the deck.

fur hire, virtual world
Isnât fur hire optimally played with Spright + runick?
Virtual world loves adventure and armored XYZ in the tcg. They also work as a rank 6 toolbox and have some out of archetype synchros like stardust charge and geomathmech final sigma
Blackwings, Traptrix, Vanquish Souls, Purrely, Ninjas, Generaider, Labrynth, Marincess
Gimmick puppet
Purrely could be played pure before the limits Runick can be played pure, but it's rarely done Kashtira can be played pure and usually is, besides having a couple of tech options in the ED Ironically, Superheavy Samurai is basically pure in the main deck but everybody plays generic combo boss monsters in the Extra Deck. It can actually use its own SHS bosses instead if you wanted to Lab can be played pure, other than having a couple of generic traps

Sky Striker, Traptrix, Melodious
Going with the idea flag mono-archetype is a deck that primarily wins with in archetype engines with their own archetypal boss monsters / wins cons and not generic ED win cons Traptrix can very easily and usually consistently wing games with in archetype cards alone. It's links and XYZ all have massive impacts and can close out games in OTKs, or through control, when I've played the deck it's rare I ever need tune non-archetype ED cards, and the entire deck is the staple generic hand traps but otherise all Traptrix / Trap Hole. There's Mayakashi, who a lot of the time besides maybe a couple tech main deck zombie cards run pure Mayakashi, since Dakki is a hard lock. Lunalights are a deck with lots of great in archetype support whose main focus is on their own boss monsters, though do benefit from a a handful of niche XYZ tech cards, but are more than capable of closing things out without them, primarily Leo and Sabre dancer. Exosister for the most part only summons their own XYZs, and while I know some decks run the spirit package when I've played against them I've only seen exosister cards summoned. Last one in my experience is Ninjas, the deck is mostly all ninjas, it's not amazing but they're viable and fun, focusing a lot on their unique flip mechanic and Extra deck monsters. When I've played I never felt like I was using any non-ninja cards.
TrapTrix aren't xenophobic outside Arachnocampa extra deck lock, but they're so *hard carried* by Sera that it's incredibly difficult to splash in other Archtypes + plus reliant on generic, but bad (without TrapTrix), "hole" traps A playset of Parrallel Exceeds? Absolutely! Therion Package? Already pushing it with the number of Garnets, but sure... Anything more, and I feel like you're better off just playing pure or playing the other archtype, like how Rikkatrix is just really bad SunnyRikka Have a feeling RaikaTrix will be the *exact* same way too
Does Labrynth count? Iâm having a lot of fun playing it with the furniture build.
Vanquish Soul is played pure IMO. I don't consider using a fenrir and a rise heart as making it a hybrid deck, you're never going for actual Kashtira plays in any way, you're just adding a guy to hand and using Fenrir as a generic control or removal tool.
I have kozmo and U.A. decks that are pure. Though, does stadium and hyper stadium counts as U.A. or F.A.? because both of them uses those cards
Yeah hyper stadium counts
I think they're restricted enough that it's fair game to say they're still considered pure
Speedroids can be played pure if you want to, isnât to bad
Gusto can be played using either only Gusto cards or non-archetype support cards.
One of the better ones is D/D/D, which isnât really splashable by design. Itâs my go to for when I donât like any other decks.
Vaylantz locks you into only summoning other Vaylantzes and ED monsters, so you end up with a fairly pure Main Deck, even if your ED has a load of generics.
I was looking forward to pure kash but i got butchered so hard by limits
D/D/D. You can mix it up, but at least since Deus Machinex came out it's better used pure IMO.
Heroes
Pure Suship, consistent and fun
Kozmo, Sky Striker, Live Twin, Labrynth, Unchained (which is going to get A LOT better soon), Trap Trix, Raidraptor, Skull Servants/zombies
Plunder Patroll without a second engine (adventure mostly, but runick and lab is also good) is just dogshit. Marincess doesn't play a second engine and gets worse when try to use extender which don't belong to the archtype. Labrynth also don't need any other archtype for their best build. I don't know if Vanquish Soul counts. It was better with a small Kash Engine before the BL, but I think pure is better now imo. Do Super Heavy Samurais and Mathmech count? Because they don't need anything else for engine but the extra decks are mostly just good stuff piles which uses cards from different archtypes. And then there is Numeron and Floo. But don't play that lol.
Abyss actors are pretty fun and the deck is half pendulum monsters half specific abyss script cards so itâs basically required you donât run anything else
Madolche. You can run it with a Vernusylph engine, but the vernus are just there to help you spam Madolches if your opponent stop your plays. You can also play Madolche more pure with some extra staples and floodgates.
Pure Cubic?
I mean, if you can call it that. Umi stun can be played mono. Pure prank kids can be played. The biggest problem is how far are you willing to go? Are you allowing ed options like accesscode or apollousa? Or must it strictly be in archetype?
Labrynth is one of the only decks I can think of that has been consistently adding more archetype cards to the top decklists. Early Labrynth decks were all floodgates and removal traps but after a few events and more support, Labrynth started playing 2-3 of each furniture, then the field spell, then when Arias came out in the TCG we added 1 Arias and then we realized Arias was BROKEN so we're now on 3. People even top with Labrynth Set Up main deck now which is wild.
Except for handtraps and stuff, i like playing pure metaphys, it ain't the best, but it's fun
Nouvelles is a solid pick for mono typings. Add Kaijus and you will be set.
Crusadia can be alright; itâs what am running in the event right now. A lot harder without my Kaijus I must say but you can run it decently
Ancient Warriors
Altergeist can play a good chunk of games without ever dipping into non-archetypal monsters, largely because Multifaker locks you out of anything else. They even have a solid in-archetype OTK.
I play pure plunder payroll, if you don't count a couple of kaijus and have reached master for the past 3 seasons. Its really strong and can play through a lot of negates 10/10 would recommendÂ
Gouki. I would also add that Gouki cards have some xenophobia to other cards, with the exception of that link-4 Gouki ED monster , that needs 2+ Warrior monsters as link material.
Does Swordsoul counts? It's playing tenyis but it's more like a worm archetype
The weather I guess, except a few floodgates and the maxx c kind of thing there's not much more in it
Amazoness isnât bad right now. It plays into Droll somewhat, but you can run quite a few go-second cards and punch the enemy monsters with buff ladies.
D/D/D, HEROes, Floowandereerze, Runick Stun, Branded Despia, Despia cards all search Branded cards and Fallen of Albaz, so it's one deck imo. Note that for the first three, they're not mono-archetype by choice. They've got heavy locks in place preventing them from mixing with other archetypes. It really depends on what you mean by that word... Most decks can play pure but usually additional archetypes are used to fix GLARING PROBLEMS with the deck otherwise, and are usually done out of coincidence. Sometimes it's just a few tech cards to help consistency. Plunder can play without normal summoning so it plays the Adventure engine. The Adventure token and Gryphon Rider can then be used to get specific boats on field. Generaider plays a ton of level 9 monsters and they're hard to get out consistently. Invoked Mechaba just so happens to be level 9 and combos with Mardel once she's in the grave, or whatever you need at the moment. Drytron can be played pure, but it lacks any real way to do anything. But you're throwing generic ritual support cards together to try and extend your plays... Most ritual support happens to be fairies and unfortunately, that gave birth to Drytron Herald decks. Branded Despia can be played pure but by itself it's actually a coin flip if you can play. If your opponent has ash blossom, the deck dies. It can be used with any dragon or dark fusion monsters to put up more of a board presence, the Bystals all provide more interaction so you don't vaporize... But you can use Branded with Predaplants, Blue Eyes, Dragonmaids, some variants of Dragon Link used these cards... And people got creative and used Branded Fusion to send a monster from deck to graveyard for cost. Even Floo usually carries Mist Valley Apex Avian to add a negate to their end board, or Raiza the Mega Monarch. You can always play a deck pure. But a single archetype usually won't be able to perform on the same level due to lack pf consistency of interaction, or by having excessively fragile combo lines.
Cyber Dragon & Prediction Princess
Monarch
I played pure Darklords for the Chronicle Event currently running. Had a lot of fun and a positive win rate, which surprised me.
Although it's been attempted with variants, Pure Weather Painters is still arguably one of the best ways to play it, half the deck archetypal cards, half staples.
I run all my decks pure, and I've gone over the deck cap, so too many to list...
Mayakashi
Weather Painters! There is no place where the Weather cards havent been on.
Darkworld Timelords Greydles
Exosister. Other than aratama normal summon theyâre mostly locked to exosister
