"Fascinating Fiend" (蟲（こ）惑（わく）魔（ま） Kowakuma) is an archetype of Insect-Type and Plant-Type EARTH monsters that debuted in "Judgment of the Light". They visually resemble young girls in their own artworks, but based on the artwork of "Fascinating Trap Hole", they are either vicious creatures in disguise, or they play bait to trap prey for their "pets."

Playing Style

The archetype is centered around using "Trap Hole" and "Hole" cards to activate various effects. Each member of the Fascinating archetype is immune to Trap Hole cards themselves, while also adding support by tutoring "Trap Holes" or each other. This usually results in a playstyle similar to the "Gadgets", with the Fascinating Fiends supporting the "Trap Holes" as they remove monsters that the opponent Summons.

Note that "Atora the Fascinating Fiend" also extends her anti-negation protection to other Normal Traps, so the Deck can also run "Mirror Force", "Dimensional Prison", and even make a temporary one-sided anti-Trap lock using "Trap Stun". However, a single "Goblin Pothole Squad" can devastate the entire strategy since they prevent the activation of "Trap Hole" cards without negating anything.

Further useful yet indirect support exists for the archetype through the use of their types. Insect and plant support cards may be sufficient to satisfy the deck's hunger for competitiveness. An example to this is "Gigaplant", "Doom Dozer", or "Aztekipede, the Worm Warrior". Also the fact that they are all "EARTH" monsters are useful since "Grandsoil the Elemental Lord" can fit in.
