Elementling Archetype (11/11)

[Atypical-Abbie]

Elementling is an Archetype of Level 4 monsters with various Types and Attributes and 0 ATK and DEF. They focus on banishing and Level 4 Special Summon-only monsters. Each monster has two effects, one that activates on Normal Summon and one that activates when banished from the GY, which adds a Level 4 Special Summon-only monster of a different Attribute than them.

 

They are inspired by Elementsaber as being support for Elemental Lords, but rather these are support for old school monsters that banished 1 monster from your GY of a specific Attribute to Special Summon themselves from your hand, here are the ones which I was able to find for each Attribute: The Rock Spirit (EARTH) Geruda the Wind Spirit, Silpheed (WIND) Spirit of Flames, Inferno (FIRE), Aqua Spirit (WATER), Black Dragon Collapserpent (DARK), White Dragon Wyrmling (LIGHT). The last two actually banish the opposite Attribute from themselves, but that's all we have as far as I am aware. EDIT: So a new card called Diana the Light Spirit was just revealed just a few days after I release this that is a LIGHT version that works for this. While there isn't a DARK one yet, just wanted to let you know, because it's crazy how coincidental this is. To view the card, click here.

 

While you can choose others to use in your Deck, these are the ones that are able to make their Deck work the simplest, as you only need one monster to banish to trigger their effects, which adds of the other Attribute monsters, so you can easily spam the field this way. Along with that, their card Kindergarten is able to fill the GY with Elementling quite easily, as it has a Monster Gate-like effect that adds a Special Summon only to your hand and sends all Elementling monsters to the GY when it is activated. Along with that, it also allows you to Tribute an Elementling to Normal Summon another Elementling from your hand, but here's the catch, you can do this as many times as you like per turn, but don't worry, it locks down the Attribute, so it's maxed at 6, and you'll of course also be Tributing a monster, but this is intentional, as this way you can put 6 in your GY, after having used their on Normal Summon effects of course, which allows you to pull out their boss monster, Tall Teacher, which can get 3000 ATK and DEF, plus a bonus protection, can kill cards on the field, and add back your banished Elementling to your hand.

 

The Archetype name is a portmanteau of elemental and youngling, and their names and support reference names related to young kids and kindergardens. While not intentional, some of the monsters have the same Type and Attribute as the Special Summon-only monsters mentioned previously, though that was only because other Types didn't make much sense for their Attribute. This was an Archetype idea that I was excited to come up with, because it would not surprise me if they actually make something similar to support old school Special Summon-only monsters like this, since a few of them have "spirit" in their name, so they were clearly thinking that their similar Summoning method was worth them being related.
