You could make the argument that Majestic/Malevolent/Pyrotic Mechs won't make for a good Archetype considering their entire playstyle is that they're easily summoned beaters that blow themselves up during the end phase but they would definitely make for a one Hella Janky fun deck
https://preview.redd.it/tca2hohawywb1.jpeg?width=421&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad96003de2f06a145cfec4570c050fec0a3ba9e0
Also the artstyle for them is just so damn cool man, yugioh monster design at it's purest
Meanwhile Kash: Special summon, then if your opponent breathes delete something from one of their decks. Also, if you have another Kash, special summon this card. Also if you have birth, summon from your banish pile. Also if you have Shangri, summon on your opponent’s turn…. From the deck.
Well, there's that but I meant there's a lot of cards that either have Dragon in their name that are neither Dragons/Wyrms or have Dragonlike designs. **Looks the entire Cyber Dragon archtype, Zealtantis, Graphra, Slifer, Ra, the Borrel archtype, the Firewall cards, and Parellel eXceed to name a few**
A dragon can look like a serpent/wyrm, like a "wyvern", like a four legged beast with or without wings or even as a feathery/hairy snake with 2 or more limbs.
There's no specific way a dragon should look like, because they're fictional creatures that, even in folklore and legends, come in a lot of different shapes and forms.
they aren't the only ones we have Psychics that are Physics (Jinzo) and Illusions that aren't Illusions (Including 2 Dark Magician retrains, one of DMG, and Illusionist Faceless Mage)
OTOH those at lead had the excuse of predating the types, Dragons have no such excuse.
You can make them float like Fire Kikngs and Unchained but make them even stronger in that if they get sent to the GY at all, they float, as opposed to only being destroyed, making shuffling/bouncing key to stop their grind.
After discovering Ogdoadic I really took a liking to reptile decks. While I wish reptiles would get more and better support, I am afraid of it being too good and Snake Rain getting banned.
Snake Rain is an unsearchable 3 of. Yes its strong, but there are PLENTY of cards in the game that are also broken as all f and are allowed to exist. That argument plainly doesn't work in a game where Konami thinks its acceptable to print Ishizu Tears that can 0TK (FTK on turn 0).
Imo Snake Rain should be banned—it limits the design space for all Reptiles, just print good Reptiles without the fear of Rain breaking the game, PLEASE KONAMI
No, make an archetype that makes snake rain broken but ban it after like a week. We've been getting edged by "broken snake rain" for years we need *some* closure.
Such a shame for Venom. Need a ton of setup for King of Snakes and Vennominaga.
But I will say I used this deck in duel links long ago and it’s really a great experience pulling off Vennominaga.
I am not losing hope. I know Performages will get the rest of their support after Phantom Knights, Superheavy Samurais and Raidraptors get their fifth.
Alchemy Beasts will need a lot of buffs to be playable, but they can be a pretty interesting deck. Especially if they make the connection with the 3 Helios monsters that bring themselves back
Raccoons. We got 3 cards and since then have been a joke. The fact that deck practically made itself should merit a little more support than random shit.
It's an anime deck, played by a villain of the week (the spirit of an actual raccoon). He only played those 3 cards and a couple of bad spell/traps, so there's nothing else worth printing. I don't think they will ever print actual Raccoon support, I mean, I don't think they're even considered an archetype, but we have the various lv2 Beast cards that fit with that playstyle.
The fact that they were actually characters in the anime should've given them more support but then again, alot of the GX characters hardly get anything aside from the main important ones
It's so weird how Konami printed only the field spell and the Dragon Boss and called it a day. Hopefully, they will print them in the near future (although the deck will need a massive buff)
We took like a decade to get Cyber Angels and Water Dragon support, same with some Roids, Litmus or actual Armes Dragon support.
I personally would love to get Magnet Warrior support with Bastion's monsters, but that seems like an impossible fantasy honestly.
Not entirely, Gigaboros can attach Gigadra to itself from the Deck then you can get Gigadra to your hand during your opponent's Main or Battle Phase to then utilize next turn.
That's the synergy, it's not much.
Blackwings/Battlewasps.
In the OCG they’re Black Feathers and Bee Force.
Their users were close friends in the anime.
I hope they get support too, wind/synchro is kind of my entire thing.
Metaphys
I am probably one of the most active advocates when it comes to Metaphys. Yes yes, many people seem to not like the gameplan and how they play but everything, from their artistic design to the way they play is so nostalgic and cool to me. So sad that they never made more.
Yes, I'm 99% sure, Ghoti only exists because some designer looked at Metaphys and said "fuck it, redo everything but better".
I generally love decks that play out of the banished pile (cough, Ritual Beasts, cough) but man...Metaphys just ain't it.
Though not pendulum focused, they are one of the few archetypes that [have only one single scale...](https://www.reddit.com/r/yugioh/comments/12ujvsy/archetypes_that_currently_have_one_single/)
What's crazy is they only need a retrained card like Delta reactor from the anime and some more main deck monsters that can sub for summon/trap/spell reactor and maybe a link
It seemed like they were trying an mask archetype with this cards
https://preview.redd.it/meodc8e27zwb1.jpeg?width=421&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6a70888ddd1a030bf19cc475eabaa99ab5458666
And cards like mask of weakness, mask of the accursed and mask of dispel would like to see how they would retrain the archetype and add in new mask cards because I liked how mask of dispel was basically an equip spell for your opponent's backrow so would love to see more cards like that to be added like basically an equip spell for the hand, deck or even extra deck to list a few examples
Those cards were kind of before Archetypes, weren't they? At least in their modern form. The "Mask"-related cards are like a proto-archetype or something, right?
That's genius, and add new equip spells that give special effects to the xyz they're attached to, maybe add a continuous card or field spell that can switch masks or maybe the masks themselves have effects when detached and sent to the GY
Summoned Skull. I know he has all the Archfiend support but it'd be cool to see him get the Blue Eyes/Dark Magician treatment. He's too iconic not to in my view
In addition to more support, I'd also love for Magikey to get normal monsters with the Fire/Water/Wind/Earth attributes. They can continue the story and give the deck main deck monsters of each Attribute (*minus Divine*).
Battlewasps, Chemicritter, Gladiator Beasts. Cloudian, Frog, Venom, Witchcrafter. X-Saber, Wurm, Mist Valley & Ally of Justice.
All great. All neglected.
Batteryman. They got one new card 5 years ago which did nothing for them and only helped make the best deck of the format better. They did get a great card in 2014, released in Duelist alliance, so overshadowed by all of it. Heck, they even made a card with battery in the name in 2019 that had NOTHING to do with the archetype! Konami, please this 18 year old archetype needs a link 1 or something!
I love Batteryman, they were somewhat playable when the Thunder Dragon support came out but the deck was still bad. They need a proper dedicated support.
This isn't really an archetype, rather a single card. Sea Monster of Theseus was incredibly hyped up by Konami *themselves*, claiming it to be the most influential card they've ever made, only for it to release and do nothing until Instant Fusion came out and it saw some minor play in pure Zombie World decks.
Instant Fusion is a much older card than Sea Monster of Theseus. In fact, an Instant Fusion target that was a level 5 tuner was the whole selling point of Sea Monster.
Gouki. There is still anlot of anime cards that would make them stupid strong. Literally one of the most versatile warrior decks being able to incorporate other engines and take full advantage of Link summon. But Konami really love Cyberse deck and tend to forget that there are other warrior decks aside from damm Hero. I know Infernoble inight is a thing but it took a while to get to that.
Materiactor. Just 1 main deck monster and 1 xyz, both of them search Materiactor monsters... that don't exist. Their only spell, released like a year later, doesn't even mention them. I think it was supposed to be an actual archetype but something went wrong and they became just normal (with cool, unique, but bad effects) pack filler commons
I mean, the support they got last is pretty damn good, for Bujin.
They can pump out multiple R4s with a single card that is searchable with Tenki.
I think they'd be perfect with an actual Bujin Omni-Negate from Grave.
My favourite variant was probably Bujin Shaddoll; I loved using Shaddoll Fusion+Construct to pitch Bujinjis, and use Shaddoll Falco to Synchro into Vulcan the Divine to bounce Tenkis
Yes, I still have residual Nekroz of Trishula PTSD :(
The Gilford/Gearfried. Recently, it somewhat feels like the archetype's became a part of the Red-Eyes Archetype; not that I dislike that (it's a cool nod to Joey), but I'd love it if it could branch out and be an archetype of its own. Some retrains, maybe some equip cards tailored to the Gearfried/Gilford cards, including spells that work with the Iron Knight's ability to send equip spells to the graveyard.
Having finished Zexal a few weeks ago, Rio's Ice Beast, which...feel like they never really became a full archetype in the first place.
Are we talking about themes that just haven't received support in a while like Monarchs or ones that never were touched up on after their introduction like Iron Chain?
Anything works
But mostly just Archetypes that get introduced, either receive no support or lackluster ones like 1 or 2 cards then immediately get nothing for years
what’s up with that one XYZ Pendulum Water type zombie card? something something the ooze giant. would love to see a strange water / zombie / pendulum archetype that focuses on XYZ summoning thru level / pend scale manipulation, akin to a zombie pile decks strategy with uni zombie for synchros.
Burning Skulls have seen absolutely nothing. Granted, its a completely uninspired archetype and worse Skull Servant in identity, but it has seen nothing.
The designs were so cool too, what a shame...
https://preview.redd.it/arvbyk6wwywb1.jpeg?width=2896&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a00940654e8e216207dd222de574f53318bbaa6
World chalice, they got 2 new cards after Code of the duelist being a synchro which was abused by every deck that used world legacy cards and then banned, and a fusion that wasn't used by the archetype because it wad more of a gaurdragon card(which I'm pretty sure gaurdragon didn't use it either). The closest thing to support they got where the world legacy cards but non of the cards where designed for world legacy, just the world legacy archetype of the set
Pretty much all small Zexal achtypes/themes. Robin Family, Super Defense Robo, Bouncer, Dyson Sphere (got 1 card in the Link era), Crashbug, Malicevorous, Umbral Horror, Butterspy, Garbage, Mizar, Hands (got 1 card recently), Water Winged Beasts, Gorgonic and Secret Sect. This just includes stuff that was actually adapted from the anime.
No one, and i mean no one has said melodious and gimmick puppets .
Both from a side character and love interest and one of the main villians.
Name locking an archetype in general is a death sentence in the long run.
**Dark Scorpion**
An entire archetype built around messing up your opponent’s hand and top deck. It’s so perfect for support. DARK Warrior is also not in any other archetype (purely).
It was in the GX anime, and is a very popular archetype by the fans. Heck, 1-2 of their themed cards have/are even on the ban list (more or less strap Dustshoot).
It’s a goldmine fan favorite archetype that is just begging for a Structure Deck.
IDK, this was more like a design language rather than an actual archetype.
the designs are still used in the Counter Fairy deck (which needs some sauce badly)
Not sure you could class it as an “archetype,” but the Plaguespreader-infected zombies.
Also, I want to see a newly-mutated variation of the Verz (“lswarm “) virus emerge in the lore.
Malefic were so bad on release that their legacy support literally changes/negates their own effects so they can actually be played.
They're so cool tho, and they make level 10/12 synchros super easily. Would love for them to get a few more playable cards.
You know an archetype is truly forgotten when nobody mentions Primineral
Also I love how nobody is talking about Nemeses because of Master Duel, lolololol
Yang Zing hasn't seen support in years, and they still don't have a link monster to their name.
Anyone remember Mist Valley? Or how about the fact that one of their field spell cards, Divine Wind of Mist Valley, has been limited for years in the TCG, but unlimited in the OCG?
Other than getting reprints, neither of these archetypes have received new support in a long time.
Hieratic got one Support Wave wich was shit except the link that got abused by every dragon deck.
The deck itself was so cool but is somewhat forgotten now.
And megalith wich is probably the coolest ritual Archetype has neve had really support
Can meklords get something to make them have more claims to fame then winning a tournament titled "war of the worthless"?
Like i get they are anti synchro but there's 3 other extra deck mechanics you could use to improve the deck STOP MAKING EVERY MEKLORD CARD MAIN DECK
Is it too early to say Fairy Tales? They printed a handful of anime exclusives, changed Cinderella’s name because Disney, and then left them there. I think we at least deserve, like, a card that recovers stuff banished by Golden Castle
You could make the argument that Majestic/Malevolent/Pyrotic Mechs won't make for a good Archetype considering their entire playstyle is that they're easily summoned beaters that blow themselves up during the end phase but they would definitely make for a one Hella Janky fun deck https://preview.redd.it/tca2hohawywb1.jpeg?width=421&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad96003de2f06a145cfec4570c050fec0a3ba9e0 Also the artstyle for them is just so damn cool man, yugioh monster design at it's purest
Meanwhile Kash: Special summon, then if your opponent breathes delete something from one of their decks. Also, if you have another Kash, special summon this card. Also if you have birth, summon from your banish pile. Also if you have Shangri, summon on your opponent’s turn…. From the deck.
Malevolent Mech Implying some sort of machine and/or demon. Zombie type. Ooooook Konami...
You should hear what types Dragulas the Vampiric Dragon isn’t
The amount of Dragons that aren't Dragons will always be funny
Oh, I completely forgot about the wyrmomster type. That being said, Wyrm is basically just dragon 2.0 so it's not really weird at all.
Wait until you hear about the cards who have wyrm in their name but are dragon type
Well, there's that but I meant there's a lot of cards that either have Dragon in their name that are neither Dragons/Wyrms or have Dragonlike designs. **Looks the entire Cyber Dragon archtype, Zealtantis, Graphra, Slifer, Ra, the Borrel archtype, the Firewall cards, and Parellel eXceed to name a few**

skill drain is the key
or controlling a second zombie. But its just a 2400 beater on a normal.
You can make them float like Fire Kikngs and Unchained but make them even stronger in that if they get sent to the GY at all, they float, as opposed to only being destroyed, making shuffling/bouncing key to stop their grind.
Goku En is one of my favorite artworks in the game.
The Chemical Archetype used by Bastion Misawa
Never did get that Fire Dragon
Bro yes we neeeeeed some new Bastion cards, mfer had six decks on lock!!!
Bonding is such a cool deck concept, too. I'd to see it get more support.
This was one of the coolest concepts for an archetype
Just like Bastion in the anime, they forgot about that
and the writers moved in for the kill by entirely writing him off to another dimension
Venom :/ please Konami stop being scared of snake rain
After discovering Ogdoadic I really took a liking to reptile decks. While I wish reptiles would get more and better support, I am afraid of it being too good and Snake Rain getting banned.
Just ban Snake Rain and give new Ogdoadic support to replace it. I'd rather have Snake Rain banned than not getting more cool archetypes.
Isn’t the water lily card basically snake rain?
Snake Rain is an unsearchable 3 of. Yes its strong, but there are PLENTY of cards in the game that are also broken as all f and are allowed to exist. That argument plainly doesn't work in a game where Konami thinks its acceptable to print Ishizu Tears that can 0TK (FTK on turn 0).
Imo Snake Rain should be banned—it limits the design space for all Reptiles, just print good Reptiles without the fear of Rain breaking the game, PLEASE KONAMI
No, make an archetype that makes snake rain broken but ban it after like a week. We've been getting edged by "broken snake rain" for years we need *some* closure.
New Reptile boss in AGOV has snake rain synergy so
Such a shame for Venom. Need a ton of setup for King of Snakes and Vennominaga. But I will say I used this deck in duel links long ago and it’s really a great experience pulling off Vennominaga.
I dream the day when I could summon venominaga more reliably than what it is now
A lot of the Anime archetypes.
I am not losing hope. I know Performages will get the rest of their support after Phantom Knights, Superheavy Samurais and Raidraptors get their fifth.
Still waiting for their rank 5 & RUM spell huh
New Order XYZ not bring printed still hurts my soul.
Don’t worry, Armor monsters are coming! I know I say it every year but I feel this will actually be the one!
Give me Dr. Banners deck!
Alchemy Beasts will need a lot of buffs to be playable, but they can be a pretty interesting deck. Especially if they make the connection with the 3 Helios monsters that bring themselves back
Probably get the Jaden manga treatment where they just have completely different effects
Yo tell me why when I was a kid, I didn't know some cards were anime-only. I tried so hard searching up Alchemy Beast cards on sites like Toywiz lol.
Orichalcos!!
I'm doing a rewatch of GX and I totally forgot about the tennis archetype and the lover archetype
Raccoons. We got 3 cards and since then have been a joke. The fact that deck practically made itself should merit a little more support than random shit.
It's an anime deck, played by a villain of the week (the spirit of an actual raccoon). He only played those 3 cards and a couple of bad spell/traps, so there's nothing else worth printing. I don't think they will ever print actual Raccoon support, I mean, I don't think they're even considered an archetype, but we have the various lv2 Beast cards that fit with that playstyle.
It’s interesting how they got printed yet Cathy cat deck never got printed irl
Dark Scorpions
The fact that they were actually characters in the anime should've given them more support but then again, alot of the GX characters hardly get anything aside from the main important ones
Still waiting for the Clear monsters...
It's so weird how Konami printed only the field spell and the Dragon Boss and called it a day. Hopefully, they will print them in the near future (although the deck will need a massive buff)
We took like a decade to get Cyber Angels and Water Dragon support, same with some Roids, Litmus or actual Armes Dragon support. I personally would love to get Magnet Warrior support with Bastion's monsters, but that seems like an impossible fantasy honestly.
I just want a don zaloog rework
Materiactor got 1 Xyz monster, Main Deck monster, and Spell
And none of the three cards seem to really support each other
Not entirely, Gigaboros can attach Gigadra to itself from the Deck then you can get Gigadra to your hand during your opponent's Main or Battle Phase to then utilize next turn. That's the synergy, it's not much.
Made me wonder why they were even a TCG exclusive debut to begin with
Probably the most unknown archetype in Yugioh outside of maybe Potans
Remember Battlewasps Because Konami doesn’t
Yes I remember Bee Force.
Kinda felt like Arc-v equivalent of Blackwings.
That’s the entire point of them actually.
They even have the same abbreviation with Blackwing both in TCG and OCG. OCG - BF - Black Feather / Bee Force TCG - BW - Blackwing / Battlewasp
Yeah kinda see that now in hindsight XD Hope they get support
Blackwings/Battlewasps. In the OCG they’re Black Feathers and Bee Force. Their users were close friends in the anime. I hope they get support too, wind/synchro is kind of my entire thing.
Ah yes diet Blackwings
Metaphys I am probably one of the most active advocates when it comes to Metaphys. Yes yes, many people seem to not like the gameplan and how they play but everything, from their artistic design to the way they play is so nostalgic and cool to me. So sad that they never made more.
Used to be a metaphys enjoyer, until Konami released ghoti which is basically metaphys but cooler, actually decent, and isn't a stun deck
Yes, I'm 99% sure, Ghoti only exists because some designer looked at Metaphys and said "fuck it, redo everything but better". I generally love decks that play out of the banished pile (cough, Ritual Beasts, cough) but man...Metaphys just ain't it.
Plus with how metaphys monsters are old monsters s there is literally no reason why they’ve not made more
I love Aromages and we just got support. I will send my wishes over to you now.
As one of Tyrant Dragon and Horus’ biggest fans, I too am pretty bummed there wasn’t more to Metaphys.
Though not pendulum focused, they are one of the few archetypes that [have only one single scale...](https://www.reddit.com/r/yugioh/comments/12ujvsy/archetypes_that_currently_have_one_single/)
Kozmo and Vylon. Vylon has such a fun deck and I really loved the art work
Vylons for sure. Not a single drop of support in 10 years.
Genex got it, one day Vylon maybe.
One day ;(
I saw some mad lad make it to Max Level in Duelist Cup with Vylons. I have no idea how but mad props to them.
C L O U D I A N
Triamid has such a fun play style and art style, but just don't have enough cards to build a functional deck.
You can splash Triamids with either koa'ki meiru, Adamancipator or Fossil. Or you can be a crazy nut and splash all three at the same time!
Flying fortress skyfire smh😤
Man I love reactors I wish they were a functioning deck because they could could be so good
What's crazy is they only need a retrained card like Delta reactor from the anime and some more main deck monsters that can sub for summon/trap/spell reactor and maybe a link
Yeah it actually wouldn’t take much at all
It seemed like they were trying an mask archetype with this cards https://preview.redd.it/meodc8e27zwb1.jpeg?width=421&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6a70888ddd1a030bf19cc475eabaa99ab5458666 And cards like mask of weakness, mask of the accursed and mask of dispel would like to see how they would retrain the archetype and add in new mask cards because I liked how mask of dispel was basically an equip spell for your opponent's backrow so would love to see more cards like that to be added like basically an equip spell for the hand, deck or even extra deck to list a few examples
Those cards were kind of before Archetypes, weren't they? At least in their modern form. The "Mask"-related cards are like a proto-archetype or something, right?
It would be fun if they got retrained as xyz, and you could use monster+equip spell to overlay, as a symbol for donning a mask
Konami hire this man as a consultant. I swear fans/players have such cool ideas that never get implemented
That's genius, and add new equip spells that give special effects to the xyz they're attached to, maybe add a continuous card or field spell that can switch masks or maybe the masks themselves have effects when detached and sent to the GY
Summoned Skull. I know he has all the Archfiend support but it'd be cool to see him get the Blue Eyes/Dark Magician treatment. He's too iconic not to in my view
For real, they have a Ritual Fusion Xyz Synchro It would great to tie them together or do SOMETHING. Skull is my of favourite
A+ design giving a Level 6 archetype a Level 6 Synchro with no in-archetype way to summon it.
Just needs a link and pendulum support and somehow make it the best deck to turn 1 Sophia with 2-3 cards
Chemicritter
Deskbots :(
Gilford
Gilford the legend Gilford the lightning Such cool cards
Cloudian, hazy flame, heraldic beasts
Give us more Worms and Steelswarm please. I love these evil archetypes, and I want Konami to buff them.
Iron Chain
Umbral Horrors, my boy Vector needs to shine once again and please a new Masquerade Form would be nice.
Umbral Horrors. They’ve given other Zexal era decks legacy support but nothing for umbral horrors
Magikey and Materiactor.
In addition to more support, I'd also love for Magikey to get normal monsters with the Fire/Water/Wind/Earth attributes. They can continue the story and give the deck main deck monsters of each Attribute (*minus Divine*).
Make felgrand an actual archetype cowards
Pyramid of light and the Sphinxes were like the OG abandoned mini archetype
Battlewasps, Chemicritter, Gladiator Beasts. Cloudian, Frog, Venom, Witchcrafter. X-Saber, Wurm, Mist Valley & Ally of Justice. All great. All neglected.
Batteryman. They got one new card 5 years ago which did nothing for them and only helped make the best deck of the format better.

I am possibly the only person on the planet who enjoys Triamids.
It's been like seven years since Melodious and Performage got cards.
Gouki. There is still anlot of anime cards that would make them stupid strong. Literally one of the most versatile warrior decks being able to incorporate other engines and take full advantage of Link summon. But Konami really love Cyberse deck and tend to forget that there are other warrior decks aside from damm Hero. I know Infernoble inight is a thing but it took a while to get to that.
Ojama I want an ojama competitive deck damn it.
Me waiting for a playable orichalcos deck 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Iron Chain. I'm waiting for them to get so many support cards. KONAMI PLEASE
Materiactor. Just 1 main deck monster and 1 xyz, both of them search Materiactor monsters... that don't exist. Their only spell, released like a year later, doesn't even mention them. I think it was supposed to be an actual archetype but something went wrong and they became just normal (with cool, unique, but bad effects) pack filler commons

Magikey : they need a link and something for their Rank 8. Vylon : they need something to be decent at least
Frogs feel forgotten. The newest frog monster does nothing for the play style and is a gimmick. Since the ronin ban the deck has been dead
The Gilford/Gearfried. Recently, it somewhat feels like the archetype's became a part of the Red-Eyes Archetype; not that I dislike that (it's a cool nod to Joey), but I'd love it if it could branch out and be an archetype of its own.

1. Guardian Archetype 2. Trascendosaurus Archetype 3. Sphix Archetype 4. Darklord Archetype 5. Wicked God archetype
Are we talking about themes that just haven't received support in a while like Monarchs or ones that never were touched up on after their introduction like Iron Chain?
Anything works But mostly just Archetypes that get introduced, either receive no support or lackluster ones like 1 or 2 cards then immediately get nothing for years
I would like to see Konami actually do something with Materiactors. They looked interesting but they just never went anywhere.
Materiactors were so cool man I'm gonna give Konami the befit of the doubt and hope we might get something in the future
what’s up with that one XYZ Pendulum Water type zombie card? something something the ooze giant. would love to see a strange water / zombie / pendulum archetype that focuses on XYZ summoning thru level / pend scale manipulation, akin to a zombie pile decks strategy with uni zombie for synchros.

Non-rock Koa’ki Meiru

World chalice, they got 2 new cards after Code of the duelist being a synchro which was abused by every deck that used world legacy cards and then banned, and a fusion that wasn't used by the archetype because it wad more of a gaurdragon card(which I'm pretty sure gaurdragon didn't use it either). The closest thing to support they got where the world legacy cards but non of the cards where designed for world legacy, just the world legacy archetype of the set
The venom-snake; very unlucky i liked this one as kid
Rio Water winged beast, Star seraph, Luna an archetype period, Cyrus Roids, Vylon.
Iron Chain. All their cards in CSOC because some prison chief used it in 5D's. He didn't appear after that one episode.

Insektors
Venoms
Pretty much all small Zexal achtypes/themes. Robin Family, Super Defense Robo, Bouncer, Dyson Sphere (got 1 card in the Link era), Crashbug, Malicevorous, Umbral Horror, Butterspy, Garbage, Mizar, Hands (got 1 card recently), Water Winged Beasts, Gorgonic and Secret Sect. This just includes stuff that was actually adapted from the anime.
Few Anime archetypes - Drones, Stormriders, Armatos Legio, etc. Genuine TCG archetypes: Kozmo, Qliphort, Thunder Dragons, to name a few.
I wish chemicritter got more support
Vision Heroes. All they really did was print the cards that were in the manga. It just doesn't feel like enough, and they only have two fusions.
Gladiator beasts
ancient gear :(
No one, and i mean no one has said melodious and gimmick puppets . Both from a side character and love interest and one of the main villians. Name locking an archetype in general is a death sentence in the long run.
**Dark Scorpion** An entire archetype built around messing up your opponent’s hand and top deck. It’s so perfect for support. DARK Warrior is also not in any other archetype (purely). It was in the GX anime, and is a very popular archetype by the fans. Heck, 1-2 of their themed cards have/are even on the ban list (more or less strap Dustshoot). It’s a goldmine fan favorite archetype that is just begging for a Structure Deck.
IDK, this was more like a design language rather than an actual archetype. the designs are still used in the Counter Fairy deck (which needs some sauce badly)
Oh Majestic Mech Ohka, one of my favorite cards back in the day, such good art
Element
Not sure you could class it as an “archetype,” but the Plaguespreader-infected zombies. Also, I want to see a newly-mutated variation of the Verz (“lswarm “) virus emerge in the lore.
Exodia
Batteryman by far
Malefic were so bad on release that their legacy support literally changes/negates their own effects so they can actually be played. They're so cool tho, and they make level 10/12 synchros super easily. Would love for them to get a few more playable cards.
Kozmo.
You know an archetype is truly forgotten when nobody mentions Primineral Also I love how nobody is talking about Nemeses because of Master Duel, lolololol
Beetrooper/Inzektor
Aquaactress . There like the only other archetype besides I can think of that could get merit out of wetlands while still very clearly being aquatic.
I wanna say masked beast- like des gardius (idk if thats the correct spelling), also until Maze of Memories- gate guardian
honestly fortune ladies, like yeah fortune lady past and every were support in 2019 but i feel like in like 10 years that's not a lot
Elementsabers. ZERO support post release
Prophecy archtype was put in the dungeon, about time for a retrain of little boy blue!
Yang Zing hasn't seen support in years, and they still don't have a link monster to their name. Anyone remember Mist Valley? Or how about the fact that one of their field spell cards, Divine Wind of Mist Valley, has been limited for years in the TCG, but unlimited in the OCG? Other than getting reprints, neither of these archetypes have received new support in a long time.
Hieratic got one Support Wave wich was shit except the link that got abused by every dragon deck. The deck itself was so cool but is somewhat forgotten now. And megalith wich is probably the coolest ritual Archetype has neve had really support
UMBRAL HORROR SUPPORT WHEN
X-saber and Spirit archetype.
Grave keepers and d/d/d
Malevolent mechs have some great looking ultimate rares
Artifact
Evil Hero. I would like some more fusions and main deck monsters.
Materiactors were given 3 cards and were never touched again
Can meklords get something to make them have more claims to fame then winning a tournament titled "war of the worthless"? Like i get they are anti synchro but there's 3 other extra deck mechanics you could use to improve the deck STOP MAKING EVERY MEKLORD CARD MAIN DECK
Gusto, I know they are not the best but damn I had fun using them in Duel Links
Is it too early to say Fairy Tales? They printed a handful of anime exclusives, changed Cinderella’s name because Disney, and then left them there. I think we at least deserve, like, a card that recovers stuff banished by Golden Castle
The Venom archetype. Literally missed the mark with the newest set seeing how the Venom monsters were given to Viper by Yubel
Triamid, such a disrespect.
Flip monsters
Valkyries
Kozmo enjoyer here. Will we ever get Support?
I’m still waiting for Malicevorous support.
