 "'''Fur Hire'''", known as "'''Skyfang Brigade'''" ({{Ruby|空|くう}}{{Ruby|牙|が}}{{Ruby|団|だん}} ''Kūgadan'', "'''Skyfang Brigade'''" ) in Japanese), is an [[archetype]] of monsters with different [[Type]]s, [[Attribute]]s and [[Level]]s that debuted in ''[[Dark Saviors]]''. Unlike [[Unique to this archetype, the support]] cards for other archetypes, which uses use the text '"[archetypemonster/card]" card' in their effects, "Fur Hire" support cards use ' instead of the text [[PSCT]] standard 'monster "Fur Hire[archetype]"[monster/card]'. This was intentional by Konami to incorporate the pun from their ' or '[[TCG]]'' names into their card "Fur Hire"'effects, evident by continuing this trend outside their debut set.

As they do have this, the low-Level monsters "Fur Hire" also trigger their unique [[Trigger Effect]]s to maintain momentum. Since the monsters can only activate their effects once per turn, per name, it is necessary to play a large number and variety of low-Level monsters "Fur Hire". The last Special Summon will usually be a high-Level monster "Fur Hire", activating its Trigger Effect in addition to the protective effects it gives. To address consistency, the most important monster "Fur Hire" is "[[Beat, Bladesman Fur Hire]]", whose Trigger Effect searches a monster "Fur Hire" to ensure the Summons can continue, followed by "[[Filo, Messenger Fur Hire]]", whose Trigger Effect revives a monster "Fur Hire" from the [[Graveyard|GY]], granting resource recovery as an extender. Because there needs to be a Link monster"Fur Hire" on the field in order to start the Summons, the Deck can struggle if their first monster is removed from the field before it can activate its effect; [[Spell Cards]] that Special Summon can alleviate the pressure on their [[Normal Summon]], namely such as "[[One for One]]" (for "Filo") or "[[Reasoning]]". The Deck's boss monster is the Link-3 "[[Folgo, Justice Fur Hire]]", who supports whose [[Link Material]] requirement of 3 monsters with different Types is relatively easy to meet within the archetype "Fur Hire" due to its diverse array of monster Types. Upon its Summon, it Special Summons a monster "Fur Hire" from the Deck with a different Type from the Link Materials used, replenishing some of the advantage used to Summon it, and its other effect draws cards if an opponent's card is destroyed, depending on how many monsters "Fur Hire" playstyle the player controls. This works especially well with further a "[[Donpa, Marksman Fur Hire]]" or "[[Recon, Scout Fur Hire]]" on the field who have not yet used their Trigger Effects, since they can activate in response to the [[Link Summon]] of "Folgo". The effects of all low-Level monsters "Fur Hire" can also be activated again during the opponent's turn, making cards that can Special Summon|Special monsters "Fur Hire" during the opponent's turn to trigger them very valuable. These can include the in-archetype "[[Mayhem Fur Hire]]" and "[[Rookie Fur Hire]]", or out-of-archetype cards such as "[[Tri-Brigade Airborne Assault]]". This is especially important with "Donpa" or "Recon" on the field, to interrupt the opponent's plays and draw more cards with "Folgo". Also, as the archetype's swarming capability naturally lends it to Link Summoning, the Deck works well with non-archetypal staples such as the "[[Knightmare]]" monsters, "[[Borrel]] " monsters, "[[Accesscode Talker]]", and Card Draw"[[Saryuja Skull Dread]]".

Because there are several [[Beast]], [[Beast-Warrior]] and [[Winged Beast]] monsters "Fur Hire", with "Donpa" and "Recon" in particular being Level 2 Beast monsters, the archetype works well with cards and themes that support those Types, such as "[[Tri-Brigade]]" and "[[Melffy]]". Also, a small [[Sacred Beast]] engine can [[Card Tips:Folgo, Justice Fur Hire|consistently Summon "Folgo"]] off a 1-card starter. Due to already running a large number number of monsters, it is also possible to play a [[Monster Mash|pure monster]] variant Deck. This type of Deck "Fur Hire", can be supplemented with staple monsters such as "[[Dinowrestler Pankratops]]", hand traps like the [[Yo-kai Girl]]s, and a few Spells like "[[Sekka's Light]]" or "[[The Big Cattle Drive]]". ===Recommended cards==={{Decklist|Recommended cardsDeck

===Weaknesses===* The largest weakness Decks "Fur Hire " have is they are very reliant on performing numerous Summons in a turn. This can be interrupted in a few ways:** The archetype desperately needs its Normal Summon to swarm the fieldbegin its chain of Special Summons, therefore any card that can negate the summon of the first monster Normal Summons will severely cripple the strategy "Fur Hire strategy".** Aside from the Normal Summon typically used to play the first monster, all other Summons are Special Summons, making cards like "[[Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo]]", "[[Vanity's Emptiness]]" or "[[Vanity's Fiend]]" very effective.** Cards like "[[Rivalry of Warlords]]", "[[Gozen Match]]" and "[[Unification]]" can prevent monsters "Fur Hire" from swarming the field, since they use all sorts of Attributes and Types.* * Monsters "Fur Hires mostly work with Hire" also heavily depend on their monster effects to swarm the effects of its monster line-upfield, making cards like "[[Skill Drain]]" or "[[Effect Veiler]]" very effective against the deckDeck.* All the Deck's removal options are targeting destruction effects (outside of the mediocre "[[Fandora, the Flying Furtress]]") making most modern boss monsters a challenge to get rid of, outside of Extra Deck options such as "[[Borreload Dragon]]".
