Retrograde Realm

[TheTrueSaiyan]

An archetype centered around targeting cards, but each continuous Spell/Trap allows the monster to target an additional card for their effect allowing them to snowball very quickly.

 

The Xyz monsters also have effects that allow you to tag out with Xyz monster attached to them to dodge removal
