Rotom Shocks the Opposition: Now slightly less stally than before

[Snatch Steal]

It's been such a long time that I posted an archetype. Shame that it has to be a repost.

Oh well, school trip with boring activities means plenty of leeway.

 

Description: "Rotom" utilizes tagging out rotom forms to dodge card effects and protect yourself. They're almost invulnerable to everything when they have tag out partners, and can make particularly obnoxious Synchro monsters. In order to tag out, they have to reveal one monster in the owner's hand or extra deck, then special summon 1 rotom of the same attribute. Be careful, however, as they cannot tag out if they use their other effect: You have to choose which one you want to use carefully.

[Written ewwwww]

Rotom - Lamp Forme

Level 2 LIGHT

Thunder / Fusion / Tuner / Effect

"Rotom - Standard Forme" + 1 "Rotom" Synchro Monster

You can Fusion Summon this card by banishing the above Fusion Materials you control (you do not use Polymerization). When this card is Special Summoned: You can target any number of "Rotom" cards that are in your Graveyard or banished; shuffle them into the deck, then you can Special Summon 1 "Rotom" monster from your deck. During either player's turn: You can tribute this card; set 1 "Rotom" Spell/Trap card from your deck.

 

 

Strategy: In order to use Rotom, you must make sure you have at least 1 Rotom form on the field at almost all times, so that you can tag out. Bear in mind that you will certainly tag out only up to 5 times with 1 forme. Once Standard can be summoned, an optimal play would be to tag out into your materials to make a Synchro play. Bear in mind that you are not limited to Rotom synchro monsters.

 

Weaknesses: Cards that do not say "Target" or "Destroy" pretty much ruin everything for this deck. Also, an inability to summon from the extra or main deck warrants quite a challenge, since that's the only way the deck really stays alive.

 

Likes guaranteed for good reviews

Also, I know that some of the wordings are off on them, such as "card" where it should say "monster." Don't point it out, unless it's really that bad.
