'''"Performage"''', known as '''"Entermage"''' ({{Ruby|Ｅｍ|エンタメイジ}} ''Entameiji'') in Japanthe ''[[OCG]]'', is an [[archetype]] of [[Spellcaster]] [[Monster Card|monsters]] used by [[Dennis McField]] in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]''. They debuted in the set ''[[Clash of Rebellions]]''.

The "Performage" [[Monster Card|monsters]] 's appearances are based on [[wikipedia:Circus|Circuscircus]] artists, such as [[wikipedia:Clown|clowns]], [[wikipedia:Harlequin|harlequins]], or [[wikipedia:Jester|jesters]] (with the exception of "[[Performage Wing Sandwichman]]", which resembles a member of the military). In addition, most of the monsters are based different circus performers, such as jugglers, flame flamer eaters , and trapeze artists. 

"Performage", the English The Japanese name of this archetype, is a portmanteau of the words "Performentertainment" and "Mage". "Entermagemage", the Japanese while its English name of this archetype, is a portmanteau of the words "Entertainmentperformance" and "Magemage". Their name The archetype's naming scheme draws parallels with [[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya]]'s that of the "[[Performapal]]" [[Monster Card|monsters]] archetype ("Entermate" in ) and the OCG and Japanese anime), as with [[Reed Pepper]]'s "[[Cookpal]]" monstersarchetype ("Cookmate"). This archetype's Japanese naming scheme (abbreviated as "EntermageEm" even ) receives a near-identical abbreviation in with the Japanese to name of the "EntermatePerformapal"– differentiated only by letter case archetype ("Performage"/"Entermage" is "Em" while "Performapal"/"Entermate" is "EM")– as well as featuring cross-archetype [[support ]] with "Performapal" through "[[Bubble Barrier]]" and "[[Performage Bonus Dealer]]". 

When the first three Effect Monsters were revealed, and the rarely seen or mentioned "[[Performage Stilts Launcher|Stilts Launcher]]" (With with "[[Performage Flame Eater]]" being the only native card that could trigger it's its second effect), they instantly became assets to "[[Chaos]]"-like and [[Rank 4 ]] based Decks. Two prominent examples were "[[Shaddoll]]" and "[[Nekroz]]" before both becoming restricted soon after the release of this archetype and "[[Elder Entity Norden]]"."[[Performage Damage Juggler|Damage Juggler]]" and "[[Performage Plushfire|Plushfire]]" can [[add ]] "Performage" monsters from the [[Deck ]] to the [[hand ]] or [[Special Summon ]] them from there, respectively. As a general rule of thumb, "[[Performage Trick Clown|Trick Clown]]" should be the first to be Special Summoned or searched [[search]]ed as it can repeat itself when used as any kind of Material material for an [[Extra Deck Summon]] Summoning, and if possible should use its effect only when "[[Performage Hat Tricker|Hat Tricker]]" is already on the field to negate the 1000 [[Life Point ]] cost of "Trick Clown". It is difficult to make "Hat Tricker" reach 3300 ATK without multiple activations of "Plushfire", however. "[[Performage Mirror Conductor|Mirror Conductor]]" is the Main Deck power play of the Performages. Its "Performage" monsters, with its [[Pendulum Effect brings ]] able to bring a Special Summoned monster's [[original ATK and DEF ]] to whichever is become equal to the lowest value of its [[ATK]] or [[DEF]], while its Monster Effect able to switch the ATK and its DEF of a monster effect switches on the two, which is an asset as it can be used during either player's turnfield."[[Performage Trapeze Magician|Trapeze Magician]]" can let your allows the player's monsters to attack twice to try to achieve an [[OTK]], removing your their own [[Xyz Monsters Monster]]s that have no materials, or destroying an opponent's Monster monster in [[Main Phase 2]]. "[[Luster Pendulum, the Dracoslayer]]" and its [[Synchro Monster]] counterpart, "[[Ignister Prominence, the Blasting Dracoslayer]]", have destruction effects to activate the Special Summoning effect of "Plushfire" and both the "[[Dracoslayer]]" and "Performage" archetypes can rapidly Special Summon monsters from the Main Deck."[[King of the Feral Imps]]" can search the Level 4 Tuner "[[Masked Chameleon]]", "[[Jigabyte]]", and sometimes "[[X-Saber Palomuro]]" for "[[Naturia Beast]]" with "Hat Tricker". The combination of "King of the Feral Imps", "Performage" and "Dracoslayer" is commonly called "PePe & Pals" (short for "Performage " Pendulum). 

 Historically , the "Performage " archetype was extremely effective when paired with the "[[Performapal]]" archetype. This combination of the two archetypes, also known as "PePe", would prove extremely powerful , and several of its key cards would be Limited or Forbidden in [[February 2016 Lists|February 2016]].
