Archetype Submission - Worldsbane

[Never_this_again]

Worldsbane

Description:
Worldsbane is an archetype of DARK Reptile monsters that aim to invade the opponent's field to gain advantage of that.

As such, they all possess an effect that they cannot be used for the Summon of Extra Deck monsters, unless you are Summoning Worldsbane monsters. In addition, there are several monsters who gain bonuses or the ability to Special Summon themselves as long as the opponent controls a Worldsbane monster.

The archetypes Spell and Traps sport various effects that depend on the opponent controlling both Worldsbane monsters and non-Worldsbane monsters, but range from Super Poly-like to destruction and healing effects.
