Archfiends were a great idea for their time, but the execution just does not hold together, especially in today's format.

[Sleepy]

Chess Archfiend have always been very fun to me. The Field Spell Card is black whirlwind done right, they can potentially protect from targetting effects and make barriers against attacks, their boss negates Sangan, Tomato, and so much other stuff and has a revival hand-trap monster. Also, if they lack attack, their Queens give it to them.

Not to mention their Spell/Trap support, which consists in a Snatch Steal, a chainable Monster Reborn that becomes a searcher during the End Phase, and for the lulz, a card that will make your boss attack directly (which I've done with it at 5000 )

They are lovely.


but they are balanced so, it's not enough for the game.

[Not-so-Radiant Arin]

So you have a 50% chance of negating your opponent's effect, which is pretty nice, but wouldn't you want to negate the effect completely? I mean, it would be nice if they got rid of the dice thing and just made the effect a once per turn.

It's still amusing how it can dodge D-Prison, though...

Also, when is a Bishop Knight ever WATER element? O.o

The core Chess Archfiends are each a different Attribute because reasons.

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

I suppose they're all different attributes because 1. Back then, it didn't really matter. 2. It represents their individuality as chess pieces. 3. It's cool to have a Fiend of every attribute.

[Great Unclean One: VK]

I remember these guys. I f***ing love them.

Now the Archfiend name is polluted and need a severe cleaning...

Anyhow, I'd say they roll something like a 4+ or something.

[Strider Tigerwolf]

Lol Rainbow fiends~ I bet there was a bit of fruitiness back then.
