A series is a group of cards that share an appearance in artwork or name, or simply in what their effects allow them to do, but lack the support cards that genuine archetypes possess. Series commonly comprise themed groups used by characters in the anime or manga.
One of the most notable differences between a series and an archetype is the fact that many archetypes, such as "Lightsworn", "Blackwing" and "Six Samurai", can all have Decks easily built around them thanks to their own effects and the support cards they possess. Meanwhile, card series do not have support cards, and building a Deck out of series like "Ogre Grotto" or "Archlord" is a nigh-impossible task.
A member of a series may also be a part of an archetype, an example being the "Armed Dragon" or "Horus" series, which both have members that are included in the "LV Monster" archetype. Similarly, one archetype can also be part of another archetype; "Gem-Knight" is part of the "Gem" archetype, and "Neo Flamvell" part of the "Flamvell" archetype.
