[Archetype] Archeralds

[VCR_CAT]

So I've wanted to see what a Rank 12 monster would look like, yet at the same time I know how the number 12 in YGO is limited to really hard-to-summon monsters with a lot of power and strength. With that in mind, I developed that idea towards wanting to do a Rank-Up focused archetype that covers all the ranks. So enter Archeralds: Monsters I themed after Aztec gods and their concept of the 13 levels of Heaven. All the levels will be obvious until we hit Level 12 where I have two big bads, and level 13 where we have the third rank 12, who is a win condition and can't be ranked up into.

 

The design of the archetype is almost exclusively Extra-Deck, which means the engine you use to summon these guys is entirely up to you.

 

The only thing that I'm really mulling over is that the win-con Rank 12 is a Divine/Creator God monster that wins you the duel when summoned and requires 2 different rank 12 monsters as materials to be summoned. The reason he has that attribute and type isn't because of style points alone, but that this makes him impossible to be summoned by a Rank-Up-Magic card so far. This might just be changed to a special clause preventing those kinds of summons and just make him LIGHT/Fairy or something. I dunno. Not as cool, but it'll work.

Once per turn, you can target 1 face-up "Archerald" Xyz Monster you control: Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 "Archerald" Monster that is 1 rank higher than the target monster by using it as the Xyz Material.

If you control no cards: You can banish this card and 1 "Archerald" Xyz Monster from your Graveyard; Special Summon 1 "Archerald" Xyz Monster from your Graveyard and attach 1 Spell or Trap Card from either player's Graveyard to that monster as Xyz Material.

You can only activate 1 "Rank-Up-Magic Archerald Force" per turn.
