Legendary Duelists Sora-Fluffal(2022)

Fluffal

 

 

 

This archetype focuses on Fusion Summon tactics, primarily to search out and recycle "Polymerization" while also utilizing cards such as "Edge Imp Sabres" and "Toy Vendor" along with "Fluffal Dog", giving the player easy access to the necessary cards to Fusion Summon "Frightfur" Fusion Monsters. As Fusion Summoning requires a large amount of cards, several "Fluffal" monsters help to quickly gain card advantage (such as "Fluffal Dog" and "Fluffal Wings") and recycle the necessary cards required upon being used as Fusion Material Monsters (such as "Fluffal Cat" and "Fluffal Rabbit").

The "Frightfur" monsters can be Fusion Summoned using "Edge Imp" monsters as the Fusion Material. They rely primarily on "Fluffal" archetype with boosting effects. "Frightfur" monsters also have offensive effects that either boost their ATK or grant additional attacks ("Frightfur Bear", "Frightfur Sabre-Tooth", "Frightfur Wolf", "Frightfur Tiger", "Frightfur Kraken"), removing cards on the opponent's field ("Frightfur Tiger", "Frightfur Leo", "Frightfur Kraken", "Frightfur Cruel Whale"), prevents the opponent from activating cards or effects when they attack ("Frightfur Chimera", "Frightfur Sheep"), and even steal away an opponent's monster by equipping them to themselves or Special Summon them to their controller's field ("Frightfur Bear", "Frightfur Chimera").

Some "Frightfur" monsters have a small weakness in having specific "Edge Imp" monsters for Fusion Materials (outside of "Chimera"), but cards like "Frightfur Patchwork", "Fusion Reserve" and "Fusion Conscription" can help you in getting your needed "Edge Imps" to the hand and "Fluffal Sheep" helps in recycling both your "Edge Imp" and "Fluffal" monsters. All of the "Edge Imps" possess helpful abilities on their own, such as "Edge Imp Chain" searching your "Frightfur" Spell and Trap support whenever it hits the Graveyard, "Edge Imp Saw" providing extra draw power, and "Edge Imp Tomahawk" being able to substitute for any of the other "Edge Imp" monsters should they not be available in the hand or field.

The Deck responds badly to too many out-of-archetype cards, as they cannot be fused with, and the other Summoning methods are not nearly as important as your Fusion Summoning. However, Fluffals can potentially be merged with archetypes such as Gem-Knights, Shaddolls, or Invoked. (Traditional Format only) In particular, the splash-ability of Brilliant Fusion and its effect to send Fluffal Wings straight to the GY while Summoning Gem-Knight Seraphinite for an extra Normal Summon makes it a popular choice.
