Straya Archetype (18/18) - Extra Link Beast-Warrior, But No Main Deck Monsters?

Recommended Posts

Straya is an Archetype of Beast-Warrior/WATER Link Monsters. They have no Main Deck monsters, rather focusing on using their Field Spells to get them out, co-linking and even being able to make an Extra Link. Each monster gains 500 ATK while co-linked, plus some other effect depending on various conditions of it being linked, and another effect, where controlling a Field Spell makes your opponent unable to respond to its activation.

They are based on Australian animals, with an ice age twist, hence the WATER Attribute (which is closest to ice), and their name Straya, which is slang for well, Australia. I picture them as having survived during some sort of ice age type apocalypse, and having evolved, hence why Beast-Warrior instead of just Beast.
