Subject: Three new archtypes - The Controler of Chaos

Three New Archtypes
Hi! This is my first Pojo CCG Tip (I really Hope this
gets posted). I'm going to talk about the three new
archtypes that will be created with the next set:
Magician's Force (MFC for short?). The three new
archtypes (for the n00bs, archtype means deck type) are
Union, Amazoness, and Black Paladin. In this post I'm
going to tell you guys what they do, and the pros and
cons to each type.

Unions:

Relys on effect monsters called Unions. A Union is an
effect monster that allows it to change into an Equip
Magic card and equip to a monster on the field. When
Equiped, the Union monster adds a special effect and/or
stat boost to the Equipped monster. When the Equipped
monster is destroyed as a result of battle or by an
effect, the Union monster is destroyed in its place.
Also, a Union monster can unequip or equip once per
turn.

Pros:
* Every Union gets a stat change and/or a poisitive
effect.
* Has a lot of support.
* The has a lot of strong monsters, even with out the
Unions.
* Contains probably the most powerful fusion in the
game:
XYZ-DRAGON CANNON
Type: Fusion/Effect Monster
Light/Machine/8/2800/2500
[X-Head Cannon] + [Y-Dragon Head] + [Z-Metal
Caterpillar]
Remove the required Monsters on your Field from the
game in order to Special Summon this Monster (the
[Fusion] card is not needed and not used).  Discard 1
card from your hand to destroy 1 of your opponent's
cards on the Field.
* A moderatly expensive deck to build.
* Requires a lot more strategy than other decks.

Cons:
* MST and all the other mass M/T killers pwn this
archtype
* If XYZ Dragon Cannon is destroyed, it cannot return
to the current duel.
* IO is not a card you want to have played on you.
* If you can't get your Unions out, you can be really
be a sitting duck
* Requires a lot more strategy than other decks.

Amazoness:

Relys on effect monsters with the word Amazoness in
thier names. An Amazoness deck will use a lot of low
attack monsters backed with strong effects and other 
traditional warrior cards.

Pros:
* CHEAP!!!!! At least it should be.
* Each Amazoness has an effect that supports the other 
Amazonesses (for the most part).
* WOW! Lots of extremly useful female cards.
* This archtype alone may draw more female players into
the game.
* Really strong effects.
* Warriors.
* Witch/Sangan/Freed/Renforcments of the Armyable.
* Every Amazoness is level 4 or lower.
* FAST!

Cons:
* Weak stats.
* Not much M/T support.
* Relys on a lot of monsters being out on the field.
* A little chancy.
* Relys on mostly only Amazoness monsters being out.

Black Paladin:

A Black Paladin deck relys on getting out the Black
Paladin Fusion. If you can't get the fusion out, you do
have a few strong Spellcasters to fall back on.

Pros:
* All most all of the monsters that you would use in
this deck will be Spellcasters.
* Foucuses on a very good Fusion:
SUPER MAGICAL SWORDSMAN - BLACK PALADIN
Dark/Magic User/8/2900/2400
(Fusion) [Dark Magician] + [Buster Blader]
This Monster can only be Special Summoned by a Fusion.
While this card is face-up on the Field, you may
discard 1 card from your hand to negate and destroy a
Magic activation.  Increase this Monster's attack
strength by 500 for each Dragon Sub-Type Monster on the
Field and in each player's Cemetery.
* Has a lot of monsters with good effects.

Cons:
* Focuses on a single card.
* Fusions are hard to get out.
* Has 2 monsters with very high levels.
* Effects are useless if you can't get out Black
Paladin.
* Once Black Paladin dies, it is dead forever.
* Needs Poly.

Sorry that was so long, but I wanted to get all the
facts. Personally, I think the best out of the 3 is the 
Amazoness archtype. It already has all of the support it 
needs to be successful in tournaments. If you want to see 
what the cards do, then go to Edo's Duel Monster Page at 
www.stormpages.com/edhrzic/Yugioh.htm Thats where I get my 
translations, and you should too.
