Shepard/Sheep Archetype [Written]

[WackyToast]

Hello and welcome to the showoff of the first (and currently only) Archetype I made that I am not ashemed off.

The Sherpard Archetype of Monsters and the Sheep Archetypes of Spells and Traps are focused around the classic Sheep Token, used by Scapegoat and Stray Lambs. While the Deck has valuable Synchro options, the main strategy usually involves creating an undestructable board (as in, immune to destruction but not other kind of effect removal) by using the Archetypal Field Spell "Sheep Paradise", the Continuous Spell "Sheep Rush" and the Continuous Trap "Sheep Tranquillity". The Archetype can also nullify battle damage with the only Non-Tuner Main Deck monster "Shepard Helper".

 

Shepard Helper
LV 1 EARTH
Beast/Effect
If you control a "Shepard" monster (except "Shepard Helper"): you can Special Summon this card from your hand. This card is also treated as a Sheep Token while it is face-up on the field. You take no battle damage from battles involving Sheep Tokens. You can tribute this card and another Sheep Token you control; Special Summon a "Shepard" Tuner monster from your hand, Deck or GY then you can double the level of all Sheep Tokens you control. You can only use each effect of "Shepard Helper" once per turn.
