Introducing the Brame Archetype! [37/37 cards]"

[HolyPilgrim]

Hello everybody! Today I'm showing you the... unorthodox Brame archetype!

"Brame" is the word resulting of the words "Brazilian" and "Meme". Yes, these cards revolve around memes and jokes from the tropical lands of Brazil. Of course, that means most of you won't get the jokes, but you will be very surprised if you think they are just a bunch of weird buffoons! No, they are more than that, they have a solid strategy.

The Brames are focused in 2 aspects: countering plays and banishing cards. Most of them have effects that negate activation and summons of cards under some specific situations and denying the enemy's plans as best as they can, some of them having costs of banishing Brame monsters in your Graveyard. To deal damage they end up needing the help of level 5+ monsters, while having no Xyz, Synchros or Pendulums specifically for the archetype.

Well, I guess it's about time to show you the huge family of Brame! I will also add a little explanation of the "jokes" they represent, but that's of course just a bit of trivia/lore. Shall we begin?

Also, I'd like to note I have never used so many euphemisms in my life.
