→Playing style: Added potential for "Redoer" to give information on the opponent's Deck
== Playing style ==
The archetype's main strategy is to swarm the board with [[Level]]/[[Rank]] 4 monsters and [[attach]] different [[card type]]s, including the opponent's cards. This is typically to the end of removing said opponent's cards before they can be exploited and providing specific materials to their ace monster, "[[Time Thief Redoer]]". Said "Redoer" can provide its own materials during the [[Standby Phase]] by attaching the top card of the opponent's [[Deck]] to itself, both potentially acquiring specific card types as material for its different effects and giving its owner information on the Deck their opponent is using. Afterwards, it can then detach up to three material types as a [[Quick Effect]] to banish itself until the [[End Phase]] to avoid attacks and disruptions (Monster), draw one card (Spell), or act as non-targeting removal by placing a face-up card of the opponent's on top of the Deck (Trap). For that reason, "[[The Phantom Knights of Shade Brigandine]]" is an excellent tech card for the archetype as it can be Summoned right away and used to make "Redoer" with its removal effect immediately online.
Another Xyz Monster for the archetype vital to their setup is "[[Time Thief Perpetua]]". During the Standby Phase, it can detach one material to revive a "Time Thief" monster in GY. As a Quick Effect of her own, she provides any targeted Xyz Monster with a "Time Thief" card from Deck as material, making her vital to either keeping external end piece Xyz Monsters stocked up on material or specific material for the particular effects of "Time Thief's" own Xyz Monsters.
# Place "[[Time Thief Power Reserve]]" and "[[Time Thief Flyback]]" in the GY as forms of interruption to both [[banish]] an opponent's card and attach 1 card from the opponent's GY as material to a "Time Thief" Xyz Monster.
# Summon "[[Time Thief Bezel Ship]]" to act as an additional GY interruption.
# Use "[[Xyz Armor Fortress]]" and to search "[[Full -Armored Dark Knight LancerXyz]]", which will make use of both monsters Summoned by "[[Time Thief Power Reserve]]" to search and subsequently allow "[[Full-Armored XyzDark Knight Lancer]]" and subsequently to attach an opponent's monster to it itself upon equipping one Xyz Monster to another.
# Summon "[[Cyber Dragon Infinity]]" as an end piece and enabler for "[[Raidraptor - Strangle Lanius]]" to make an additional Xyz Monster.
