Lady Elysia Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Written because I couldn't find good pictures of sentient rocks traveling through interdimensional rifts for some mysterious reason. This archetype is designed as sort of a mirror image of typical competitive swarming archetypes. In stark contrast to most archetypes, the Travelerocks' Graveyard is actually a Graveyard - there is pretty much nothing it can do to bring back monsters that get sent there, and their main weakness is straight-up destruction. Instead, since the flavor is that these things are traveling through rifts, being banished or bounced is easy for them to recover from - it's just one more location in space-time to them, and competitively they thrive on it. Their main gimmick card, Geologic Celestial Rift, is both a blessing and a curse. It makes many opposing decks a lot weaker, while also making them much better offensively - but that's the thing, they pretty much need to have it on the field in order for their offense to be remotely respectable (who ever heard of a LV8 Synchro beatstick having only 2000 ATK?) Posting the Spells first, since IMO they're the most important part of the archetype. [spoiler=Spells]Geologic Spatial Rift Normal Spell Banish 1 Rock-Type monster from your Deck, and treat it as if it were banished by the effect of a "Travelerock" monster.
