Though the archetype was thematically disparate for a long time after its release, "[[Penguin Brave]]" and the monsters featured in its art forms a sub-series of "Penguin" monsters with a related card lore and connected card art.===Generic penguins===<!--Penguins outside of the Penguin Brave group, but support the playstyle; things like Penguin Torpedo are not included here-->; Supports "'''Penguin'''" (Japanese: ペンギン ''Pengin'') is an cards* [[Nopenguin]]* [[The Great Emperor Penguin]]* [[archetypePuny Penguin]] comprised of ; Has Flip/Bounce-related effect* [[WATERPenguin Soldier]] monsters used by * [[CrumpNightmare Penguin]] and * [[Rio KastleGlacial Beast Polar Penguin]] in the anime===Penguin Brave===<div style="float:right">[[File:PenguinBrave-ConceptArt.

Some of {{clear}}==Playing style==The "Penguin" archetype focuses on returning cards on the field to the Effect Monsters are quite splashablehand with cards, such as with the effects of "[[Penguin Soldier]]" and "Penguin Ninja". The central monster in the strategy is "[[Nightmare PenguinBrave]]", who Special Summons a "Penguin" from Deck, and can flip it face-up as a Quick Effect, giving the player control over when to trigger the monsters' flip effects to disrupt the opponent.

==Main cards=="[[Penguin SoldierSquire]]": Can return up to 2 monsters on is the main way by which the field to deck summons "Penguin Brave". "Squire" is a Tuner that Special Summons itself from the handwhen the player sets a monster, including itself if it wasn't destroyed by battle when [[can flip]]ped (such as when [[Flip Summon]]ing itself). Especially effective against Synchroa friendly set monster face-up, Fusion and Xyz Monsters, since they go back to can modulate its levels so that it can Synchro Summon "Penguin Brave" with the set monster. A second important monster is "[[Extra DeckNopenguin]]", which means the opponent loses [[field advantage]] without gaining [[hand advantage]]. Since who is an extender that can revive itself in the GY, and has a continuous effect that banishes cards are returned to the hand, this is useful to remove monsters when effects make destroying them difficult, such as bounced by "[[Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En]]Penguin" and cards, greatly increasing the disruption power of "[[Stardust Dragon]]Penguin"cards.

"[[Nightmare PenguinRoyal Penguins Garden]]": Much like is the main searcher for "Penguin Soldier", this card can bounce many of your opponent's stronger monsters. This card can only target 1 card, but it has a basic 1800 and combos especially well with "[[DEFThe Great Emperor Penguin]]", and might withstand an attack which whose level in the hand can be reduced to 4 with the effect of "Penguin SoldierRoyal Penguins Garden" may not. It is also Level 4, which makes allowing it a perfect target for to be Normal Summoned and use its effect to Tribute itself and Special Summon 2 "The Great Emperor Penguin"monsters from Deck.

"[[Flying Penguin]]": A Normal Monster The archetype is quite weak at swarming and has an average resource acquisition and recovery rate, meaning that it is best played in a control style, backed up with low [[ATK]] powerful traps and [[DEF]]. It can be used with staple cards like "[[The Great Emperor Penguin]]" or "[[Rescue Rabbit]]" in order to [[Xyz Summon]] Rank 4 Xyz Monsters.

"[[Bolt Penguin]]": Much like "[[Flying Penguin]]", this card is a Normal Monster with low [[ATK]] and [[DEF]], so can be used with "[[The Great Emperor Penguin]]" or "[[Rescue Rabbit]]" to Xyz Summon Rank 3 Xyz Monsters. "[[The Great Emperor Penguin]]": Can be Tributed to Special Summon up to 2 other "Penguin" monsters from your Deck. With its effect, many power-plays are enabled, and therefore it is currently considered the "Penguin" Deck's strongest card. Its effect can be combined with "[[Lemuria, the Forgotten City]]" to raise the levels of the Summoned monsters to Xyz Summon Xyz Monsters with higher ranks. "[[Puny Penguin]]": "Penguins". It's mainly useful in bringing back the likes of "[[Penguin Soldier]]", "[[Nightmare Penguin]]", or even the "Great Emperor" himself to reuse their effects. "[[Nopenguin]]": Useful for Rank 3 Xyz Summons, because it Special Summons itself from the Graveyard whenever the effect of a "Penguin" monster is activated, but only once per turn. While it can only be Summoned with its effect once per turn, Special Summoning it each turn is still useful each turn, as long as you have "Penguin" effects to activate. In addition, it [[banish]]es monsters that are [[return]]ed to the hand by "[[Penguin Soldier]]" and "[[Nightmare Penguin]]". "[[Guard Penguin]]": It can Special Summon itself when you take [[effect damage]], making it useful for Rank 4 Xyz Summons. ==Playing style=Recommended cards==="Penguins" focus on [[bouncing]] cards back to its owner's hand with cards like "[[Penguin Soldier]]" and "[[Nightmare Penguin]]". Cards like "[[Neo-Spacian Grand Mole]]" can be used in this Deck to keep with the bouncing theme. You can also use "[[Nopenguin]]" or "[[Degenerate Circuit]]" to banish bounced cards instead of returning them to the hand. "[[Spiritual Water Art - Aoi]]" can dispose of monsters that you returned to the opponent's hand, so using it after using "Penguin Soldier" or "Nightmare Penguin" is a great combo to get rid of strong monsters. By using "[[Book of Moon]]", you can re-use these effects to return cards to the opponent's hand again. "[[Monarch (series)|Monarch]]s" can be used to fill out the Deck, since you often have an extra "Penguin" available for Tribute Summons. "[[Rescue Rabbit]]" can be included to bring out either "[[Bolt Penguin]]" or "[[Flying Penguin]]" to Xyz Summon either Rank 3 or 4 Monster, which can also be brought out by "[[The Great Emperor Penguin]]". {{Decklist|Rescue Penguins|monsters =Recommended cards
