Third 'Death Summon' Archetype (6/??)

[Max Darkness]

Due to other commitments, I've been slow in finalising the Death Fusion archetype (both their general concept and strategy). However, a brainwave ended up with me adapting some Gemini support I made a while back for their core effects.

Design-wise, the DARK monsters represent aspects of death recognised in Western culture, while the FIRE monsters are apparitions recalled in Far Eastern texts.

Enjoy.

for Tyras, why did you make it so that the fusion material monster can't attack AND permanently loses its effect? Just choose one of them, not both

first explain to us that part, then we'll rate the remaining cards

Because "Occult Fusion" can return itself to the hand by setting up a second Death Fusion, it and this gives you two of the three required cards for another Summon. And because the monsters are half DARK Fiends, they are highly supported (compared to the EARTH Aqua/Pyro/Thunder "Gem-Knights"), so easy revival is highly abusable.
