We don't have any cases to say that it would be an Effect Monster with only an archetype condition.
'''Card text''' (カードテキスト ''Kādo Tekisuto''), also known as the '''card description''',<ref>[http://www.yugioh-card.com/en/rulebook/YGO_RuleBook_EN-v8.pdf Yu-Gi-Oh Trading Card Game - OFFICIAL RULEBOOK Version 8.0]</ref> is an area on cards containing [[Card effect|effect]] text that details how a card affects gameplay, or, on [[Normal Monster|Normal]] [[Monster Card]]s, flavor text describing the monster. Card text is located in the Card Description box,<ref>[http://yugioh-eg.ueuo.com/rulebook_v05.pdf Yu-Gi-Oh Trading Card Game - OFFICIAL RULEBOOK Version 5.0]</ref> which also contains the card's [[Type]], [[ATK]], and [[DEF]] (on Monster Cards), and is located beneath the card's artwork.
The flavor text on [[Normal Monster]]s almost always only contains lore about the monster (leading to its popular name "lore" or "lore text"); in languages using the Latin alphabet, this text is italicized to indicate that it has no effect on gameplay. In the ''TCG'' only, Normal Monsters may rarely contain an [[archetype condition]], which is not italic (as it has an effect on gameplay) and is listed at the bottom of the Card Description box. However, ; this only occurs in the when a card's ''TCG to compensate inaccuracy of the '' name in cases where the card is too iconic and well-known fails to be renamed, and include it in any other situation an archetype conditions still qualify the card as Effect Monsterwhich its Japanese name does.
On all other cards, the card text contains the [[card effect]](s) as well as any [[cost]]s, [[condition]]s, and [[Material]]s. If a card lists Materials, these will be listed first on their own line.
