Pyromid Archetype (14/14)

[Atypical-Abbie]

Pyromid is an Archetype of Pyro/EARTH monster with various Levels, and have 2 Link Monsters, but focuses mainly on the Main Deck. Their playstyle revolves around their gimmick that both players take any battle damage they inflict. When both players take damage, it activates various effects, but mainly allowing you to Special Summon their monsters from the hand, with various differences for each monster, though two of their monsters activate when they specifically inflict the damage instead. Additionally, many have a Quick Effect that can be activated as long as the only monsters you control are Pyromid monsters.

 

As both only take damage when they inflict to your opponent, you can also use Pyromid Necropolis makes it so both players take any battle damage Pyromids inflict, so you can either ram into a monster, or play defensively, which becomes even more viable with their card Tomb of the Pyromids. Their main playstyle is to get as many different Pyromids out at once, which allows you to get out their LINK-6 Sphinx that can become very powerful, though you can also just use your Main Deck monsters if you wish, which include Khufu that is a powerful Level 11 monsters.

 

Many of their cards play into each other well, for example you can use Menkaure and Khufu in combination to get you 2500 LP, Snefrou can work well with Red, Djoser works well Tomb of the Pyromids, Khufu, Pharaoh and Rebuilding the Pyromids allow you to gain LP back quickly, due to the self damage you will inflict, which allows you to bring Sphinx out for a powerful finish, they can adapt to many different playstyles and situations.

 

Pyromid is a portmanteau of Pyro and Pyramid, and they are based on Egyptian pyramids, mostly focused around Giza, though had to include some non-Giza ones since there weren't quite enough to fit here, and concepts related to pyramids and Giza in general, such as Necropolis being a name for the area, Sphinx and Pharaohs obviously being related to Egypt and Giza as a whole, and limestone, tombs and pyramid related things.
