History Characters / YuGiOhCardGameAToC

Chronos/[[DubNameChange Crowler]] used an Ancient Gear deck in ''GX''. Obelisk Force and other Academia characters in ''ARC-V'' also use Ancient Gear cards. For information specifically pertaining to the anime's depiction of the cards, see Characters/YuGiOhAnimeAndMangaCards

* ArmorPiercingAttack: Ancient Gear Golem and Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem both have piercing damage and with 3000 and 4400 ATK respectively.

* ClockworkCreatures: An entire archetype of them.

* FusionDance: Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem is a combined form of Ancient Gear Golem with two other Ancient Gear monsters.
* LoopholeAbuse: Ancient Gear Golem and Ancient Gear Beast specify they cannot be Special Summoned. This is why the earlier Ancient Gear support cards instead lower the number of Tributes needed to Normal Summon them, and later ones allow their Special Summon with the note "ignore the Summoning conditions".

* MechanicalLifeforms: They're all sentient robots.

* MixAndMatchCritters: Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Chimera
* {{Nerf}}: Inverted with Ancient Gear Devil, which is a StoneWall that [[SmugSnake Jean-Michael Roget]] uses, is buffed so it summons another Ancient Gear when destroyed.
* OurCentaursAreDifferent: Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon and Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon. ''Clockwork'' dragons, at that.

* PowerFist: Ancient Gear Golem and Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem

* TankGoodness: Ancient Gear Tank is a tank an Ancient Gear monster can ride for a power boost.

* Power Nullifier: As long as the opponent controls exactly three monsters, Cyber Blader will negate the effect of all their Spell and Trap Cards as well as those of their effect monsters.

The '''[[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Ancient_Gear_(archetype) Ancient Gears]]''' (known as '''Antique Gear''' in the OCG) are an archetype of EARTH Machine monsters. The Ancient Gears have effects that prevent the opponent from using Spell and Trap Cards when they attack, stopping the likes of Mirror Force and Magic Cylinder, and otherwise restrict the opponent's ability to defend from attacks. The Ancient Gears are lead by Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem. They are also connected to the Gadget archetype wich is represented by Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon and Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Chimera, who gain effects when Gadgets are their Tribute fodder.

* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon

[[folder:Cardian]]
'''[[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Cardian Cardian]]''' is an archetype debuting in the ARC-V anime, used by Tokumatsu. They are based on the traditional Japanese card game named Hanafuda, infamous for the Koi-koi game. Their playstyle revolves around consistently drawing Cardian monsters to make combinations (Yaku) to Synchro Summon their Boss Monsters, emulating the playstyle of traditional Koi-koi game. To help with this strategy, the Spell supports makes it easier to setup the Summon, such as stacking Cardian monsters to be drawn by other Cardian effects or assembling Cardian monsters on the board.

!!!Tropes associated with the Cardians:
* AntiMagic: Gokou can negate Spell effects.
* ArtShift: In the anime. Whenever a Cardian Synchro Monster is Summoned, the background turns into traditional Japanese painting that references the Yaku formed to Summon it, in contrast to the monster's more animesque appearance.
* {{Bishounen}}: Ameshikou and Gokou, two of the boss monsters.
* TheCameo: All over the place, due to each Cardian non-Synchro monster (barring Matsu) depicting the artwork of their corresponding hanafuda card with something in it replaced by a Yu-Gi-Oh! card. Some examples:
** Matsu ni Tsuru (January Pine Crane): Crane Crane
** Sususki ni Tsuki (August Pampas Moon): [[ThatsNoMoon The Wicked Avatar]]
** Yanagi (November Willow Storm): Giant Trunade
** Yanagi ni Ono no Michikaze (November Willow Poet): Cardian - Ameshikou and Poison Draw Frog
* CastingAShadow: They're all DARK Attribute.
* CardsOfPower: And apparently they're also sentient.
* CoolHelmet: Gokou's bird helmet, a reference to the December Phoenix (Kiri ni Houou) card.
* DarkIsNotEvil: After Tokumatsu returns to his Enjoy Choujiro persona.
* DifficultButAwesome: The archetype as a whole. The requirement to Summon the bosses are expensive, and the Deck can be awkward to handle. However, once the bosses set foot on the field, there's little the opponent can do.
* {{Irony}}: Yanagi ni Ono no Michikaze depicts Ameshikou and Poison Draw Frog as a reference to the rain man/poet and frog. The former locks your Draw Phase, while the latter lets you draw a card.
* LargeAndInCharge: Inoshikachou. Ironically, he is the weakest among the three boss monsters in terms of stats.
* LuckBasedMission: Ultimately, the success of a Cardian deck depends on the player's ability to draw into the right cards at the right time. They do have a few {{Luck Manipulation Mechanic}}s to work with, but if you end up revealing three Spell/Trap cards with Chokoikoi... Well, enjoy.
* NiceHat: Ameshikou's poet/priest hat.
* NoSell: Ameshikou makes all Cardian monsters unable to be destroyed by card effects, or be targeted by the opponent's card effects.
* NumerologicalMotif:
** The Level of each non-Synchro Cardian represent the Month of their original Hanafuda card.
** The ATK and DEF of each non-Synchro Cardian are equal to their point value in Hanafuda x100.
* ShockAndAwe: Ameshikou's "electric-rim" umbrella, a reference to the November Storm (Yanagi) card.
* WeakButSkilled: The non-Synchro monsters are exceptionally weak stat-wise, but are needed to Summon their boss monsters.
* WorldsStrongestMan: Gokou has the highest ATK among Synchro Monsters to date, with pure 5000 ATK.

[[folder:Chaos]]
Originally more of a series of cards with a similar theme, the '''[[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Chaos Chaos]]''' archetype The Chaos cards rely oncombining the powers of LIGHT and DARK, or in a couple cases, Fairy and Fiend, and banishing cards from play. Their "leaders" are Black Luster Soldier - Enjoy of the Beginning and Chaos Emperor Dragon - Enjoy of the End, but the anime has an even stronger leader, Chaos End Ruler - Ruler of the Beginning and the End. It has three sub-archetypes: Black Luster Soldier (Chaos Soldier in the OCG), CXyz, and Number C, all of which have their own folders.

Quite infamously, it was Chaos Emperor Dragon's ''brutal'' effect to wipe out everything in the hand and on the field for a measly 1000 Life Points that earned it recognition for being too strong, making it among the eleven cards that made up the very first ban list, and it has been on there for a decade until its January 2015 errata, which heavily nerfs its potency.

'''[[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Abyss_Actor Abyss Actors]]''', known as '''Makai Gekidan''' (魔界劇団, "Demon World Troupe") are an archetype of DARK Fiend-Type Pendulum Monsters representing a troupe of performing artists. Their playstyle revolves around manipulating the ATK of monsters on the field as well as making use of the '''[[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Abyss_Script Abyss Scripts]]''', Spell Cards that give Abyss Actors or the player controlling them advantage while punishing the opponent for destroying them. They are used by '''[[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Sylvio_Sawatari Shingo/Sylvio Sawatari]]''' in ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV''.

[[folder:Abyss Actors / Abyss Scripts]]
'''[[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Abyss_Actor Abyss Actors]]''' are a group of DARK Fiend-type Pendulum monsters representing a troupe of performing artists. Their playstyle revolves around manipulating the ATK of monsters on the field as well as making use of the '''[[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Abyss_Script Abyss Scripts]]''', spell cards that give Abyss Actors or the player controlling them advantage while punishing the opponent for destroying them. They are used by '''[[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Sylvio_Sawatari Shingo/Sylvio Sawatari]]''' in ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV''.

* AntiMagic: Superstar prevents the opponent from activating any Spell/Trap or their effects when normal or special summoned.

* CompositeCharacter: This archetype can be seen as one of the Performapal and D/D archetype. Like both of them, it uses Pendulum Summon and shares with the former an entertainment aesthetic as well as similar effects such as ATK manipulation. On the other hand, the Abyss Actors' type and attribute is the same as the majority of the D/D monsters and they both have a connection to another archetype, Abyss Scripts and Dark Contract respectively, made up entirely, or partially of spell cards.
* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: Usually, destroying the opponent's set Spell/Trap cards before they can activate them is a good thing... unless said opponent is playing Abyss Actors in which case those set cards might be Abyss Scripts which all have an effect that activates when destroyed by an opponent's effect. This is also true with Abyss Stage Prop - Escape Stage Coach which has a similar effects.

** Sassy Rookie can protect itself from any type of destruction but only once each turn.

* StatusBuff: Wether he's in a monster or pendulum zone, Funky Comedian has an effect that lets him increase its own ATK and/or that of his fellows Abyss Actors. Wild Hope's monster zone effect allows it to increase it's own ATK as well.
* TakingTheBullet: Sassy Rookie's pendulum effect lets him sacrifice himself to prevent the destruction of an Abyss Actor monster.

* StatusBuff: Wether he's in a monster or pendulum zone, Funky Comedian has an effect that lets him increase its own ATK and/or that of his fellows Abyss Actors.

* GirlishPigtails: Citri sports one.

[[folder:Agents of Heaven]]
'''[[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Agent The Agents of Heaven]]''' are a series of angels (Fairy-Type Monsters) that hail from the Sanctuary in the Sky. Comprised of "The Agent" archetype and some supporting Fairies. They are named after planetary bodies, their leader is Master Hyperion.

[[folder:Burgesstoma]]
The '''[[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Burgesstoma Burgesstoma]]''' are a group of cards that debuted as Korean exclusives in ''Clash of Rebellions''. Based on extinct animals whose fossils were in the [[UsefulNotes/PrehistoricLifeOtherExtinctCreatures Burgess Shale]], their strategy revolves around Trap Cards with the ability to summon themselves as Normal Monsters.

!!!Tropes associated with the Burgesstoma:
* AntiMagic: Olenoides can destroy a Spell or Trap Card on the field.
* DiscardAndDraw: Pikaia's effect allows the player to draw two new cards if they discard a Burgesstoma card.
* ExtraEyes: Burgesstoma Opabinia has five eyes, just like its real life namesake.
* LoopholeAbuse:
** When they are treated as monsters, the Trap Cards will be banished if they leave the field. However, if they are used as Xyz Materials and then sent to the graveyard, it doesn't count as leaving the field.
** In an interesting case of [[DevelopersForesight cardmakers' foresight]], this is defied with their Special Summon effect, which specifies ''"when"'' rather than ''"if"'' a Trap Card is activated. This means that only one Burgesstoma monster can be summoned per Trap Card activation, as using the Special Summon effect of one Burgesstoma card causes the others in the Graveyard to miss the timing. Additionally, Dinomischus and Pikaia discard as part of their effect rather than as a cost, meaning that you can't discard a Burgesstoma card and then immediately summon it in response to Dinomischus/Pikaia.
* MakingASplash: The Xyz Monsters are WATER monsters and so do the Trap Cards when they are summoned as monsters.
* MeaningfulName: The name of the archetype is derived from the Burgess Shale with each card named after an extinct animal whose fossil could be found there.
* NoSell: All Burgesstoma monsters are unaffected by the effects of other monsters.
* StoneWall: Opabinia has 2400 DEF - the highest among Rank 2 Xyz monsters - and 0 ATK. It is also unaffected by the effects of other monsters.'
* ZergRush: The Burgesstoma Trap Cards can Special Summon themselves from the Graveyard as a monster whenever a Trap Card is activated, allowing them to quickly swarm the field and amass Xyz Materials for Anomalocaris and Opabinia.

[[folder:Burning Abyss]]
'''[[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Burning_Abyss Burning Abyss]]''' is an archetype of LIGHT and DARK Fiend-Type monsters based on characters from Literature/TheDivineComedy. All Burning Abyss monsters have an effect that activates when sent to the Graveyard.

A related Archetype is the '''Dante''' line, consisting of the protagonist Dante's character growth through his journey and supported by Beatrice, Lady of the Eternal.

* LuckBasedMission: Ultimately, the success of a Cardian deck depends on the player's ability to draw into the right cards at the right time. They do have a few {{Luck Manipulation Mechanic}}s to work with, but if you end up drawing three Spell/Trap cards with Chokoikoi... Well, enjoy.

'''[[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Chemical_Beast Chemical Beasts]]''' are an archetype of either Level 2 or Level 8 Gemini monsters (a special subtype of Effect monster that is treated as a Normal Monster in the hand, Graveyard, and when first Summoned to the field; however, they can then be Normal Summoned while they are on the field to gain their effects) of various Types and Attributes. They rely on easily Summoning Gemini monsters so as to gain quicker access to their effects, as well as manipulating their Levels to Xyz Summon their ace monster, Methane Hyd.

* ThemeNaming: Each member of the archetype is named after a basic chemical substance: for the aforementioned Level 2 monsters, that substance is elemental carbon, hydrogen, or oxygen. The Level 8 monsters, meanwhile, are named for relatively more complex molecules; Dyoxen and Hy Dragon take their names from carbon dioxide and dihydrogen monoxide (water), respectively.

'''[[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Crystron Crystron]]''' is an archetype of WATER Machine-type monsters who focus on Synchro Summoning. The non-Tuner monsters can banish themselves from the Graveyards to activate certain effects, while the Tuners are able to bring out Synchro Monsters during any player's turn.

* TheFourGods: The four non-Tuner monsters are based off these (although Thystvern is purple instead of blue).

* SixthRanger: Awakened Brave Warrior - Gagagigo's armor and background seems to resemble that of the "Sacred" Archetype.

* OrangeBlueContrast: Both Tuner monsters are humanoid machines; Quan is a blue robot who looks like a knight, while Citri is a yellow-and-orange robot that looks like a girl (complete with GirlishPigtails and a skirt).
** Additionally, two of the Synchro Monsters resemble a FusionDance between each Tuner and a Main Deck monster (see below).
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Thystvern is a machine that looks like a mechanical purple wyvern, hence the name.
* PantheraAwesome: Smoger is a robot that looks like a White Tiger.
* ThePhoenix: The archetype's ace monster, Phoenixion, fits this trope: aside from his name, he also has a reviving effect and a Spell/Trap removal effect that is reminiscent of the Spirit monster Fenghuang—which itself looks like a phoenix as well.
** To a lesser extent, Rosenix certainly looks like a phoenix—although it is based on the Vermilion Bird of the south, and not a true phoenix.

* StoneWall: Gluttony, Greed and Envy, which have great DEF stats.

* NotCompletelyUseless: While the entire archetype is gimmicky and suffers massively from CripplingOverspecialization, certain cards of the archetype can be pretty useful depending on the format. For example, following the banlist that nuked the Monarch-Dracopal format in the OCG, [[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Ally_of_Justice_Quarantine Ally of Justice Quarantine]] saw a boost in play to combat the Blue-Eyes decks that soon took over the meta.

* TheCameo: All over the place, due to each Cardian non-Synchro monster (barring Matsu) depicts a Yu-Gi-Oh! card of some sort. Some examples:

AlliterativeName: The Level 2 monsters of the archetype are called Carbon Crab, Hydron Hawk, and Oxine Ox.
ThemeNaming: Each member of the archetype is named after a basic chemical substance: for the aforementioned Level 2 monsters, that substance is elemental carbon, hydrogen, or oxygen. The Level 8 monsters, meanwhile, are named for relatively more complex molecules; Dyoxen and Hy Dragon take their names from carbon dioxide and dihydrogen monoxide (water), respectively.

[[folder:Chronomaly]]
'''[[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Chemical Beast Chemical Beasts]]''' are an archetype of either Level 2 or Level 8 Gemini monsters (a special subtype of Effect monster that is treated as a Normal Monster in the hand, Graveyard, and when first Summoned to the field; however, they can then be Normal Summoned while they are on the field to gain their effects) of various Types and Attributes. They rely on easily Summoning Gemini monsters so as to gain quicker access to their effects, as well as manipulating their Levels to Xyz Summon their ace monster, Methane Hyd.

'''[[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Chronomaly Chronomaly]]''', known as '''[=OOParts=]''' in the OCG, are a series of LIGHT Rock monsters based on artifacts of the ancient world. They rely on manipulating their levels to Xyz Summon their leaders, Chronomaly Atlandis, Chronomaly Crystal Chrononaut, and Chronomaly Machu Mech. They are used by III/[[DubNameChange Trey]] in ''ZEXAL''.

'''[[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Crystron Crystron]]''' is an Archtype of WATER Machine-type monsters who focus on Acell Synchros.

* TheFourGods: The four non-tuner monsters are based off of these. (Though Thystvern is Purple instead of blue)
* OrangeBlueContrast: The Two tuners are Humanoid machines. Quan is a Blue robot who looks like a knight, while Citri as an Yellow and Orange robot that looks like a girl (complete with GirlishPigtails and a skirt). Two of the Synchro Monsters seem to be a FusionDance between one of the tuners and a non-tuner monster form another contrasting pair
* TigerVersusDragon: Quondam and Amertrix's levels and names imply that Smoger (resembling a tiger) and Thystvern are were fused with Quon and Citri, respectably.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Thysvern if a machine that looks like a mechanical purple wyvern.

* ThePhoenix: Rosenix's name alludes to the phoenix, but a closer example would be Phoenixion, who has a reviving effect and a spell/trap removing effect that is reminiscent of another Phoenix in the game.
* ThemeNaming: They seem to have a Quartz motif with their names. Citri (Citrine), Quon (Quartz. Specifically, ''Milky'' Quartz), Thystvern (Amethyst), Smoger (Smokey Quartz), Rosenix (Rose Quartz), Prasirator (Prasiolite). The Synchros follow suit with Ametrix, Quondam and Phoenixion. The Non-Tuner monsters' names also reference TheFourGods in addition to the Quartz theme.

* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Thysvern is mechanical, purple and has no forelegs.

* OrangeBlueContrast: The Two tuners are Humanoid machines. Quan is a Blue robot who looks like a knight, while Citri as an Orange robot that looks like a girl (complete with GirlishPigtails and a skirt). Two of the Synchro Monsters seem to be a FusionDance between one of the tuners and a non-tuner monster form another contrasting pair

* LightIsNotGood: Artifact Scythe is quite evil-looking... But it's a Light Fairy like every other Artifact.

* WeaponOfChoice
** AnAxeToGrind: Artifact Labrys
** {{BFS}}: Artifact Beagalltach and Artifact Moralltach, and their Xyz monster form, Artifact Durandal.
** BladeOnAStick: Artifact Longinus, which is based on TheLanceOfLonginus. It can be tributed to prevent the Banishing of cards.
** SimpleStaff: Artifact Caduceus

** White Spirit Dragon can banish a Spell or Trap Card on the opponent's field if summoned.

* CaptainErsatz: Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon could have been based off of the Godzilla monster King Ghidorah, as they share many similarities being that they are both three-headed dragons, that they are said to be near indestructible, and their primary attacks are bolts of lightning fired from their mouths.

** Like the above-mentioned Maiden, Priestress with Eyes of Blue is very likely a reference to Kisara. In addition, her outfit looks similar to those worn by the female Obelisk Blue students.

** Blue-Eyes decks generally consists of monsters that can get the Blue-Eyes and its variants onto the field, at which point their high ATK and cards that let them attack multiple times devastate the opponent's monsters through battle. Dark Magician decks rely on Spell and Trap Cards to get the Dark Magician and its variants into play, and then protect it while using other support cards to destroy the opponent's cards through their effects. The Blue-Eyes has Level 1 Tuners it can combine with to Synchro Summon stronger versions of itself; Dark Magician has the Dark Magician Girl that it can combine with to use stronger support Spell and Trap Cards.
** Blue-Eyes and Red-Eyes decks both rely on summoning their main monster to the field quickly, and in multiple copies when possible. However, at that point the Red-Eyes and its cards rely on inflicting large amounts of burn damage, while Blue-Eyes inflicts large amounts of battle damage by making multiple attacks. Also a point of note -- Blue-Eyes' stronger forms are Fusion Monsters, Synchro Monsters and a Ritual Monster, while Red-Eyes' stronger forms are Fusion Monsters, a Ritual Monster and an Xyz Monster.[[note]]Blue-Eyes ''does'' have an Xyz counterpart, Legendary Dragon of White, but it's not part of the Blue-Eyes archetype and is just based on it in design.[[/note]]

%%* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons

* LightningBruiser: With the support it received from the ''Shining Victories'' booster and the ''Dark side of Dimensions'' movie promos, a well constructed Blue-Eyes deck can easily be this now. Thanks to the support for searching out and summoning Blue-Eyes monsters, it's possible to quickly swarm the field with three thousand ATK beatsticks to force your opponent into the ground. A well put together one with the right hand can get no less than ''four'' of these kinds of monsters out in one turn, and that's not even counting the number of Rank 8 Xyz Monsters they can go for.

** Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. It has the highest ATK and DEF of any non-Effect Monster in the game.

* MysteriousWaif: Maiden with Eyes of Blue. Absolutely weak in combat, but can [[SummonBiggerFish summon the Blue-Eyes White Dragon]] to do the fighting for her.

* PromotionalPowerlessPieceOfGarbage: The Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon who can only be summoned by sacrificing Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. The kicker? At the time it came out in the TCG, you couldn't even summon it, since BEUD remained OCG-exclusive until almost a year and a half later. After that it did turn out to be marginally useful but that does not excuse the time when it was useless.

* RuleOfThree: Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, D.3.S. Frog, Mokey Mokey King and Cyber End Dragon are the only Fusion Monsters to use three of the same monster as Fusion Material Monsters.
* StoneWall: Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon has better defense than Blue-Eyes White Dragon and it (including all your other dragons you have at the time) is essentially invincible in terms of card effects for the next two turns after you summon it. Its ATK, meanwhile, sits at 2500, the 4th lowest among Level 9 Synchro Monsters.

** The archetype in general focuses on filling the field with beatsticks and overwhelming the opponent with sheer attack power, rather than hindering them with card effects.

** Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon beats Nekroz of Sophia's record of having the highest ATK.

* LoopholeAbuse: When they are treated as monsters, the Trap Cards will be banished if they leave the field. However, if they are used as Xyz Materials and then sent to the graveyard, it doesn't count as leaving the field.

Characters from the ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'' card game, sorted alphabetically.

* HolyHandGrenade: The Agent of Judgment - Saturn's effect.

* ThemeNaming: Agent of - <Myth/ClassicalMythology God name>.
* UranusIsShowing: The Agent of Death - Uranus.

'''[[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Burning_Abyss Burning Abyss]]''' is an archetype of LIGHT and DARK Fiend-Type monsters based on characters from Literature/TheDivineComedy. All Burning Abyss monsters have an effect that activates when sent to the graveyard.

* FusionDance: Dante, Pilgrim of the Burning Abyss can be summoned by fusing three Burning Abyss monsters with different names together.

* LightEmUp: The extra deck monsters are LIGHT.

* MysticalWhiteHair: Beatrice, the Eternal Lady.

Also included among the group are the '''[[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Cyber_Angel Cyber Angels]]''', a sub-group of Ritual Monsters.

* ManOfKryptonite: Cyber Angel - Vishnu is designed to destroy Fusion Monsters.

** Should Cyber Angel - Idaten be tributed, all Ritual Monsters on her controller's field will receive an additional 1000 ATK and DEF.

** The names of the Cyber Angels come from various figures or beings related to Buddhism.
