"Prank-Kids" (プランキッズ Purankizzu) is an archetype that debuted in Deck Build Pack: Hidden Summoners.

Design

To fit with pun of the archtype's name, the low-level "Prank-Kids" were depicted as a prankster familiar of various elements. Based on a series of event depicted in "Prank-Kids" cards, the Main Deck "Prank-Kids" familiars have pulled a "prank" on "Battle Butler", a mild-mannered robot who lives peacefully with its pet American bulldog. A series of events resulted into "Battle Butler's" house being destroyed (shown in "Prank-Kids Pranks"). "Battle Butler" were later being possessed by "Prank-Kids" familiars after the event of "Prank-Kids Pandemonium". The "Prank-Kids" Link monsters appeared as various animals empowered by the main deck familiars. In their artworks, "Battle Butler's" pet dog were subjected to various pranks as well.

Playing style

The main strategy of this archetype is to swarm the field to summon their Fusion and Link Monsters. The deck's compact size allows it access to a be run along side a number of other archetypes and hand traps, which allowed the deck to become a very powerful deck with large tournament success until Prank-Kids Meow-Meow-Mu and Predaplant Verte Anaconda were both banned in 2022.
