Title: Archetype Submission - Impostor
Post by: Xaxx on October 17, 2019, 09:28:42 am

Impostor

Description:
Impostor's gimmick is the opponent's hand. They need information on the opponent's hand to make their plays, and the opponent's hand s constantly changing due to their own effects (and they dont see this change until they look at their opponent's hand again). Impostor has a branch for each card type (monster, spell, and trap) and each branch has its own strengths and weaknesses. The branch uses it dependent on the opponent's hand and deck build. As far as it's play style, its a jack of all trades. Combo, control, etc. most play styles fit this deck, but it doesnt excel in any 1 playstyle.
