Changes

'''Reptile''' (Japanese: {{Ruby|爬|は}}{{Ruby|虫|ちゅう}}{{Ruby|類|るい}} ''Hachūrui'') monsters were once one of the most overlooked and undersupported types, their only real use previously being [[Tribute]] fodder for "[[Ultra Evolution Pill]]". However, with the release of the "[[Alien]]" and "[[Venom]]" [[archetype]]s, Reptiles have come into their own as a [[Type]] that focuses on controlling the opponent with the use of [[Counter]]s. Many Reptiles focus upon weakening the opponent instead of strengthening themselves, often leaving the opponent powerless. Because of this, Reptile-based decks and archetypes focus on tactics that reward patience and strategy over simplicity and brute force. The most brutal example of this is found in "[[Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes]]", which, while difficult to get onto the field, brought near-invincibility as well as one of the game's few [[Automatic Win]] conditions. Reptiles are used by [[Thelonius Viper]], [[Seika Kohinata]], [[Jim Crocodile Cook (manga)|Jim Crocodile Cook]] in the ''GX'' manga, [[Misty Tredwell]], and [[Damon Lopez]].
