"Fabled" monsters are depicted in a manner as to display both a hallowed aspect to them and a bit of whimsy, however, overall their art is meant to give the impression of a slanted kind of twisted, be it "demonic" or cynical. All of them are LIGHT monsters, and are believed to represent heterodoxy, perverse versions of "light", and degradation from grace and dignity, with some resembling the archetypal Fallen Angels from the Bible. They all have masks, which makes them resemble monsters of certain Spanish legends. Tiny colorful and malicious imps often accompany monsters in their background art.

They are similar to the "[[Dark World]]" archetype in that the Monsters thrive off of effects that [[discard]]; however, unlike Dark World, all "Fabled" Monsters will benefit off of ''any'' discard, even for [[cost]]. Even though cards like "[[Dark World Dealings]]" can be used with "Fabled" monsters, it's best to keep a high monster count, and use their own effects to Special Summon them. The archetype also greatly benefits from cards like "[[Tour Guide From the Underworld]]", which gets "Kushano" to the grave as quick as possible, and sets up for [[Rank]] 3 [[Xyz Monster]]s, such as "[[Leviair the Sea Dragon]]". Though these Xyz support the deck, the main focus is Synchros, such as "[[Fabled Ragin]]", "[[Formula Synchron]]" and "[[T.G. Hyper Librarian]]", in order to maintain the card advantage lost by summoning those monsters.

Even though cards like "Dark World Dealings" can be used with "Fabled" monsters, it's best to keep a high monster count, and use their own effects to Special Summon them.

Weaknesses[edit]

"Silent Graveyard", "Soul Drain" and/or "Abyss Dweller" alone can severely slice into "Fabled"s because such monsters whose effects activate when discarded transpire while they're in the Graveyard. This archetype's Attribute of LIGHT can also be capitalized on via "Light-Imprisoning Mirror". A substantial count of "Fabled"s on the roster also have superficial ATK, making them prey for cards like "King Tiger Wanghu" and "Deck Devastation Virus", which can plug up Synchro Summons by putting away key Tuners like "Cerburrel", "Rubyruda" and "Chawa". "Skill Drain" and "Mind Drain" can be used against any "Fabled"s with effects that respectively activate on the field or in the hand (i.e "Grimro" and "Nozoochee" in the Hand.) "Goblin of Greed" can also impede "Fabled"s because it will restrict them from being discarded as a cost, hence making it more laborious to use them.
