==Playing style==
The "Madolche" focus on recycling their cards for repeated use, with all of the "Madolche" monsters being sent either back to the [[Deck]] or to the [[hand]] after being [[destroy]]ed by an opponent. Several of those monsters have effects that send "Madolche"-specific [[Spell Card|Spell]] and [[Trap Card]]s from the Graveyard back to the Deck, or from the Deck to your hand. This makes the "Madolche" very difficult to [[Deck Out]], a strategy almost entirely opposite to many other contemporary archetypes.
While the Deck does not do any [[Deck Thinning|Deck thinning]] on its own, it does however feature a wide variety of [[searcher]]s, making the Deck highly stable. "[[Madolche Butlerusk]]" is capable of scanning the Deck for a [[Field Spell Card|field spell]], which is mostly exclusively used for "[[Madolche Chateau]]". "[[Madolche Messengelato]]" can search for any "Madolche" Spell or Trap Card, allowing easy access to many support cards. "[[Madolche Magileine]]" and "[[Madolche Ticket]]" are easily capable of searching for other monsters from the Deck, and "[[Madolche Marmalmaide]]" can recycle Spells and Traps, which are likely the only cards that will stay in the Graveyard.
The ultimate goal of most "Madolche" Decks is to maintain card advantage and take advantage of openings to quickly deal damage. The main powerhouse cards used are "[[Madolche Puddingcess]]" and "[[Madolche Queen Tiaramisu]]"; they have relatively high [[ATK]] (so long as the effect of "Puddingcess" requirement of the [[Graveyard]] being empty is met) and powerful effects to deplete your opponents' field presence, clearing the way for the weaker monsters to attack directly. Out of the two, "Queen Tiaramisu" is more prominently used as the Deck's boss monster, as it not only features a massive ATK stat, but it also possesses the ability to eliminate targets on the opposing field by returning cards to the Deck. This is particularly effective because "Queen Tiaramisu" has an effect that does not target, making responding to this effect very difficult to do in most scenarios.
