"Kaiju" (from the Japanese 怪獣 kaiju, lit. "monster") is an archetype of high-Level monsters introduced in "Clash of Rebellions". It is one of two TCG-exclusive archetypes that premiered in that set, the other being the "Kozmo" archetype. Each member so far can Tribute an opponent's monster to Summon it to their side of the field, similar to Volcanic Queen or Lava Golem, and can be Special Summoned from the hand if the opponent controls a "Kaiju" monster. Numerous Normal Spell cards, such as Upstart Goblin and Pot of Duality, are recommended to put Counters on Waterfront and increase consistency, since the archetype currently has few members. The Ninja engine is also very helpful as of "Clash of Rebellions" because it helps get your few monsters out with ease, at the same time triggering Waterfront with cards such as "Reinforcement of the Army" and the "Ninjitsu Art of Transformation" cards.

Origin

Each "Kaiju" monster is based on a monster from the Godzilla films. The Field Spell is based on one of the main settings.
