The RFP Psychics (Remove From Play Psychics) is an archetype that debut in Extreme Victory and more supported in Generation Force. This archetype is composed of Psychic-Type monsters whose effects revolve around Removing from play Psychic monsters and takes advantage through it. Even before Extreme Victory,there are Psychic cards that revolve around removing cards from play like Genetic Woman and Psychic Lifetrancer.
The monsters released in Extreme Victory seems to be Wizards/Witches-themed while the ones released in Generation Force are Time-Themed.
Playing Style
The goal of this archetype is to fill your graveyard with psychics and remove them from play through Silent Psychic Wizard or Hushed Psychic Cleric. Esper Girl and Mental Seeker's effects activate when theiy are summoned from the RFP Zone which can easily be done with Serene Psychic Witch or Silent Psychic Wizard.
This archetype can actually recover quickly with destruction cards like Dark Hole or Black Rose Dragon as when monsters like Hushed Psychic Cleric or the archetype's ace, Overmind Archfiend is sent to the graveyard, they will be replaced by monsters that they removed from play through their effect.
This archetype can frequently have an OTK when Overmind is destroyed as it summon ALL monsters removed from play by his effect and you can quickly Synchro with those summoned monsters and Overmind can quickly be Synchro Summoned through Overdrive Teleporter in which will summon Esper Girl and Doctor Cranium OR Mind Master and Psy-Beast.
Weaknesses
Like all other Psychic Decks, one of their weakness is maintaining your life points as most of Psychic monsters needs to pay life points as a cost of their effects but this can be solved through Soul Absorption as it increases your life poins every time cards are removed from play.
Another weakness are cards like Macro Cosmos and Dimensional Fissure because even though these cards revolves around removing cards from play, it still needs the graveyard because that is where you get to remove your cards.
