Archetype Submission - Kingslayers

[Alpha_Centauri]

Kingslayers

Description:
This archetype takes its style from Nekroz, functioning as a pure ritual engine. The way it works though is through the use of a few spells (not many ritual spells which allow ritual summons with different conditions). These spells work to provide easy ritual summoning (Decree of Death is an invocation type field spell that allows the user to ritual summon by the means from which invocation allows the user to fusion summon) and searches (though all of these searches have significant costs). The monsters work to establish significant control; with there being a 2 monster search engine (discard effects are a part of many monsters to prevent total stalls) and other monsters to initiate card destruction/protection. Due to the powerful effects, the monsters of the archetype do not have very high ATK/DEF values - with most of these values being easily surpassed in the current meta. (I apologize but these cards cannot be submitted as I did not create a systematic order in the number at the bottom --> i used a random generator).

Additional Remarks

Advantages:

The advantages of this deck are that given the right spell set-up --> you can have a pretty fast deck (similar to invoked) without very many limitations. In addition to this, with the proper spell set-up, this deck can be very cost-effective --> utilizing a spell engine to make "+" or positive trades to correct the board (make it stronger). The cards also synergize well with each other; working to search / protect / and enable each other for combos.

Disadvantages:

This deck has a high stall potential; not having a ritual spell or the invocation styled field spell is a certain brick as it is impossible to summon monsters. Considering that this deck doesn't have any traps either, it can not counter opponent's negation/destruction traps very well. This deck is also reliant on the card effects of its monsters, not being able to overcome many boss monsters in battle.
