"Millennium" (ミレニアムーン, Mireniamūn) is an archetype of cards themed around the Millenium Items and their wielders, particularly Shadi, Maximillion Pegasus, and Shimon Muran. It is interrelated with, but separate from, the "Sennen" archetype, however the distinction between the two is largely negligible for practical purposes, as cards that support one always support the other as well; this situation resulting from the use of synonyms in Japanese (a similar case exists for the "Fusion" and "Polymerization" archetypes).
Design
Despite being derived from the original core mythology of the franchise, support for the archetype only came into being many years after the introduction of the first members, which were not originally intended to synergize. Consequently, the cards vary quite a bit visually and mechanically, however they are united by their incorporation of a quasi-Egyptian aesthetic, especially the Eye of Wdjat, which is the symbol of both the Millennium Items and the Illusion-Type.
Most members are retrained counterparts of monsters that existed very early on in the franchise's history, in the original manga and early video games.
| Millennium Retrain | Original card | Associated character |
|---|---|---|
| "Millennium Fiend Reflection" | "Fiend Reflection #1" | Shimon Muran (video games) |
| "Millenniumoon Maiden" | "Maiden of the Moonlight" | Shimon Muran (video games) |
| "Millennium-Eyes Illusionist" | "Dark-Eyes Illusionist" | Maximillion Pegasus |
| "Millennium-Eyes Restrict" | "Thousand-Eyes Restrict" | Maximillion Pegasus |
| "Millennium Scorpion" | "Mystical Beast of Serket" | Odion |
Playing style
The "Millennium" support (introduced in Infinite Forbidden) is intended to allow the cards to function as part of an "Exodia"/"Forbidden One" deck ecosystem. Some older members are instead intended to be part of a "Relinquished"-themed deck.
