Tsunami Memento 2023

Playing Style

"Memento" is a theme focused on speedily filling the GY with many copies of its monsters in order to facilitate the Special Summon of its boss monster; "Mementoal Tecuhtlica - Combined Creation", which is able to attack all of the opponent's monsters once each when by itself on the field and Special Summons "Memento" monsters from the hand and GY when the opponent uses a card or effect. All "Memento" monsters, barring "Tecuhtlica", have effects that can destroy a "Memento" monster(s) you control in order to do various other effects; from searching cards to setting up the GY by sending monsters from the Deck to the GY for explosive plays with "Tecuhtlica". The two Level 1 monsters of the theme, "Mementotlan Goblin" and "Mementotlan Mace", also function as Hand trap cards while controlling "Tecuhtlica"; "Goblin" being able to prevent "Memento" monsters from being targeted with card effects for the turn while "Mace" is able to take control of an opponent's monster until the end of the turn.

One simple method to Special Summon "Mementoal Tecuhtlica - Combined Creation" requires only "Mementotlan Angwitch". When it is Summoned, it can add "Mementotlan Tatsunootoshigo" to the hand, which can Special Summon itself. Then, it can destroy itself to send "Mementotlan Mace", "Mementotlan Goblin", and a second copy of "Mementotlan Angwitch" from the Deck to the GY. Next, "Mementotlan Angwitch" can destroy itself to Summon "Mementotlan Goblin" from the GY, which can destroy itself to send "Mementotlan-Horned Dragon" and "Mementoral Tecuhtlica" from the Deck to the GY. Finally, "Mementoral Tecuhtlica" can Special Summon itself from the GY by shuffling "Fairywitch", "Tatsunootoshigo", "Mace", "Goblin", and "Horn Dragon" back into the Deck. If this combo is started by using "Mementotlan Dark Blade" to Summon "Mementotlan Angwitch" from the Deck, "Goblin" can send one of the archetype's Spell/Trap Cards instead.
