 "'''"Infernity"''' " (インフェルニティ ''Inferuniti''), a portmanteau is an [[archetype]] of the words "Infernal" and "Infinity", are all [[DARK]] monster cards whose effects activate when a player has no cards in [[handMonster Card|monsters]] used by [[Kalin Kessler]]. This archetype's artwork owes much to stereotypical depictions of in the "wild west," with cards such as "[[Infernity Archfiend]]", "[[Infernity NecromancerYu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|''Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's'' anime]]", and "[[Infernity MirageYu-Gi-Oh! 5D's (manga)|manga]]" alluding to the native Americans, while . They consist of monsters whose effects activate when a player has no cards like "in [[Infernity Avengerhand]]", "[[Infernity Randomizer]]". In episodes 33 - 35 in the dub of ''Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's'', and "[[Infernity Launcher]]the archetype was referred to as " (whose original Japanese name was "Infernity Gun'''Infernalty'''") relate to cowboys. More recent == Appearance =="Infernity" monsters like has two primary themes within their artworks; members originating from the anime have a more Wild West-inspired aesthetic, as seen with "[[Infernity KnightAvenger]]," and "[[Infernity GeneralRandomizer]]," for cowboys and the likes of "[[Infernity ArcherArchfiend]]" bear strong medieval overtones. This and "[[archetypeInfernity Mirage]] was used by " for Native Americans. Meanwhile, the manga members much more closely resemble chess pieces akin to the early "[[Kalin KesslerArchfiend]] in ''" monsters, namely "[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D'sInfernity Patriarch]]" and "[[Infernity Knight]]''".In episodes 33 - 35 in the English version Fire is also a commonality shared by members of ''Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's'', the archetype was referred to and as '''Infernalty'''their name implies, are generally demonic in appearance.== Etymology ==The first "Infernity" cards were released as promotional cards in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship 2009: Stardust Accelerator|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Stardust Accelerator]]'': is a portmanteau of the words "Infernal/Inferno" and "[[Infernity Archfiend]]", Infinity".==Playing style==The archetype has a play-style focusing on having an empty [[Infernity Dwarfhand]]", and "[[Infernity Guardian]]"with in-theme ways of emptying it to make their plays. "This can make cards that force discards a bonus for the [[Infernity DestroyerDeck]]" was released in the ''even against an archetype that would focus on doing so. They also possess strong [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Stardust Accelerator - World Championship 2009 Game GuideSpecial Summon]]'' in Japancapabilities, allowing them to take advantage of multiple mechanicsThe first A key member of the Deck is "InfernityArchfiend" card released in , able to Special Summon itself when drawn into an empty hand and allowing for a booster pack was search upon doing so. As such, having it in your starting hand can dampen the usefulness of the card though there are workarounds. "[[Infernity BeastWildcat]]" in can help with getting monsters into the [[Ancient ProphecyGY]]. Two additional to allow one to get going as it gets rid of a fellow "Infernity" cards soon followed with the release of to Special Summon itself, and as a [[Stardust OverdriveTuner]]: "allows for easier [[Infernity NecromancerSynchro Summon]]" and the first "Infernity" Trap Card "ing on top of being able to modify its own [[Infernity ForceLevel]]". With the release of by [[The Shining Darknessbanish]]ing a comrade from the GY, fifteen more cards were added to the while "InfernityAvenger" archetyperequires a monster to be destroyed. One could use this with "[[The Shining DarknessInfernity General]] also included the "Infernity" Synchro Monster , who in turn banishes itself to revive 2 Level 3 or lower "[[Infernity Doom Dragon]]," ''monsters which could also set up [[Photon ShockwaveXyz Summon]]'' introduced s. "[[Infernity KnightBeetle]]" and last, is another Level 2 Tuner which [[Cosmo BlazerTribute]] introduced s itself to [[Infernity ArcherSummon]]. The "Infernity" additional copies from the Deck received some major boosts with the advent of Xyz monsterswhile you have a bare hand, adding to [[swarm]]ing capabilities. The first Another helpful member is "[[Leviair the Sea DragonInfernity Necromancer]]", which who can be made immediately go into [[Defense Position]] with two "Infernity Necromancer"s, two "a decent 2000 [[Tour Guide From the UnderworldDEF]]"sand Special Summons more resources from the GY, or a combination of the two. which can be combined with "[[Hundred Eyes Dragon]]Infernity Mirage" for swarming and recovery though note "Mirage" or itself cannot be Special Summoned. "[[Infernity BreakConjurer]]" can banish "Infernity Mirage" with its effectrevives itself and, and "Leviair the Sea Dragon" can then revive while your hand is empty, lowers the [[ATK]] of opposing monsters by 800. "[[Infernity MirageDwarf]]" for a Synchro Summon and an simply grants your monsters piercing battle damage which may be of some use, whilst "[[Infernity Archfiend" search, as the restriction on its Special Summon only applies to the Graveyard. Another handy Xyz monster is Beast]]"shuts down [[Spell]]s/[[Lavalval ChainTrap]]"s when it attacks. Its effect can place "[[Infernity ArchfiendDestroyer]]" on top of your decksports a decent 2300 ATK and can deal an additional 1600 [[effect damage]] when it destroys a monster, conversely "[[Infernity Guardian]]" cannot be destroyed by battle or card’s effects while face-up which can lead to its Special Summon on the following turn help with playing defensively. "Randomizer" allows for some draw-power while also inflicting burn damage if it draws a monster but can also burn you for 500 damage if your hand anything else is emptydrawn. While it is "Patriarch" relies on being the weaker side only card in terms of ATK and DEF, if "[[Lavalval Chain]]" manages your hand to survive into a second turnSpecial Summon itself, it and can use its other effect banish itself from the GY to set up save your cards from destruction while "Knight" can empty your Graveyard with whatever hand 2 cards at a time to revive itself. "[[Infernity ArchfiendArcher]]" searched outsimply attacks directlyOne more useful Xyz monster is "In terms of the [[Constellar Ptolemy M7Extra Deck]]", which can be used with level 6 Infernity monsters like "the [[Infernity DestroyerSynchro Monster]]" to put "[[Infernity MirageDoom Archfiend]]" in your hand. It can then be used to resummon the detached monster. Lastly, "[[Void Ogre Dragonnegate]]" is any face-up card's effects and on a welcome addition to the "Infernity" arsenal of Level 8 Synchro monstersbare-bones hand, having great synergy with the deck and able can also destroy it while also doubling any battle damage it inflicts. It also grants any DARK Synchro Monster up to fend off threats such as "2 attacks each [[Dark HoleBattle Phase]]" and . "[[Heavy StormInfernity Doom Dragon]]."can target and destroy a monster before inflicting half its ATK as damage but won’t be able to attack. ==Play Style== The deck relies on an empty hand. Using [[discard]]ing effects like those of In terms of Spells and Traps, a staple card is "[[Raigeki BreakInfernity Launcher]]" as it can empty the hand faster and bring back 2 of your monsters by sending itself to the GY. Combined with "[[Phoenix Wing Wind BlastWave-Motion Inferno]]" which also generate advantage is the fastest way to empty your hand while setting this can quickly power up your Graveyard for cards like "[[Infernity Archfiend]]" monsters and start off strong. "[[Infernity AvengerParanoia]]". "[[Fabled]]" cards can be added can Tribute your monsters to an "Infernity" Summon another from the Deck with varying degrees of success. "or GY but its effects are negated as a result, and must have different name but the same Level as the Tribute. "Paranoia" can also recover resources during the next turn after it was sent to the GY. "[[Fabled RavenZERO-MAX]]," a Level 2, 1300 ATK helps with reviving your monsters and can clear the opponent's [[Tuner monsterfield]] is a great discard outlet that can increase its level and of monsters with equal or lower ATK to accommodate as needed for the situation. boot. "[[Fabled SoulkiusPhantom Hand]]" is a Level 6, 2200 ATK monster [[Continuous Trap]] that can revive itself at the cost of 2 discards, which is hardly a cost allows its controller to an "Infernity" Deckbanish their entire hand face-down which could be a counter in a pinch against Decks that would lose you the game. As an added perk, the "[[FabledInfernity Suppression]]" are all [[LIGHT]] monsterscan negate a monster's effect and inflict burn damage, while making it valuable with the fact it can be activated the "Infernity" cards are all turn it was [[DARKSet]], allowing for if you have an empty hand. "[[ChaosInfernity Barrier]]-oriented variants. With " on the release of other hand, is a [[The Shining DarknessCounter Trap]], the that can negate ''anything'' while your hand is lacking, making it a staple. "[[InfernityReflector]]" archetype's strategy became Graveyard-centric. Because the most common way of emptying empties the hand when your monster is through discarding effects, the Graveyard should load up very quickly with "Infernities" to Special Summon with the effects of destroyed and revives it before inflicting 1000 damage."[[Infernity MirageVoid Ogre Dragon]]" and "[[Infernity Launcher]]." As is a useful Synchro Monster for the Deck (and was even used by Kalin Kessler in the manga), providing a bonus, "[[Infernity Avengerbig 3000 ATK beatstick who can negate and destroy any Spells/Traps the opponent would use. "[[Charge Into a Dark World]]" can Special Summon itself from resurrect practically any of the Graveyard in response to the destruction of an "Infernity[[Main Deck]] members before emptying your hand," maintaining field advantage while also potentially returning as making it a level 5+ Tunerperfect fitNote, it's best to avoid cards like "[[Full Salvo"[[Dark World Dealings]]", might also be of use as it can draw a card while also providing your GY with resources. "[[FineCherubini, Ebon Angel of the Burning Abyss]]", and is also helpful as it can accomplish getting monsters like "General" ready for later. "[[Rope of LifeHundred Eyes Dragon]]"is an extremely useful card, because although they empty able to continuously copy the hand, they typically don't generate effects of your monsters in the GY to get more than momentary advantage. An mileage out of them, especially the likes of "InfernityMirage" player should always plan for the long-term.===Recommended cards===A well-built "Infernity" Deck can churn out several high-level [[Synchro Monsters]] per turn. "[[Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier]]" used to be the go-to pick, but "[[Mist Wurm]]" has filled in since Trishula's banning. "[[Infernity Launcher]]," whether in the hand or on the field, can allow for a second "Wurm" via "[[Infernity Necromancer]]", "[[Infernity Archfiend]]", "[[Infernity Beetle]]" and another copy of "[[Infernity Launcher]]" to clear the opponent's field. "[[Infernity Mirage]]" can Tribute itself to Special Summon two more "Infernity" monsters from the Graveyard, for yet another Synchro Monster or an Xyz, if need be. Another good [[Synchro Monster]] is "[[Hundred Eyes Dragon]]": its ability essentially makes it a fourth copy of any "Infernity" monster, provided it exists in the Graveyard. However, "Infernity" monsters typically serve better in the Graveyard, making its banishing requirement somewhat of a double-edged sword (with the exception of "[[Infernity Mirage]]", which is used with "Hundred Eyes Dragon" to gain advantage). == Strengths == The most noticeable strength of an "Infernity" Deck is its easy Synchro Summoning capabilities. The archetype also boasts its own [[Counter Trap Card]] in the form of "[[Infernity Barrier]]", a card that can [[Negate]] virtually anything. "Infernity" decks create long chains of Synchro Summons, which concludes with three primed "Infernity Barriers" backing a field of powerful Synchro Monsters. This set up is nearly invincible if achieved. == Weaknesses == "Infernities", despite their enormous Synchro Summoning ability, have a number of crucial weaknesses. Cards that banish or negate effects, like "[[Macro Cosmos]]," "[[Dimensional Fissure]]," and "[[Skill Drain]]," are major threats. These shortcomings can be combated with side-decked copies of "[[Imperial Iron Wall]]", "[[Chaos Hunter]]" or "[[Burial from a Different Dimension]]", and "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]" or "[[Twister]]" can deal with "[[Skill Drain]]". "[[Necrovalley]]" also poses a major threat. Cards like "[[Effect Veiler]]", "[[D.D. Crow]]" and "[[Battle Fader]]" that can be activated from the hand can also pose problems, and are trickier to avoid, although a well-timed "[[Infernity Barrier]]" or "[[Debunk]]" can remedy the situation. Without a strong [[Extra Deck]], "Infernities" are a fairly weak archetype, with their most powerful non-Synchro card being "[[Infernity General]]," sporting 2700 ATK. Furthermore, the deck's dependency on an empty hand is a weakness in itself. Field-wipers like "[[Judgment Dragon]]" or "[[Black Rose Dragon]]" can seriously cripple the deck if a player decides to set his or her entire hand in order to gain access to "Infernity" effects. "[[Infernity Guardian]]" could be a life-saver in such a situation. However, it is also possible to capitalize on this said internal weakness by simply forcing your opponent to have cards in their Hand. Directly, cards like "[[Dark Bribe]]" "[[Destiny HERO - Defender]]", "[[Chainsaw Insect]]", "[[Level Modulation]]", "[[Hiro's Shadow Scout]]", "[[Morphing Jar]]" "[[The Bistro Butcher]]" and "[[The Gift of Greed]]" can be good in doing this. Indirectly, you can use cards like "[[Chain Energy]]" "[[Narrow Pass]]", "[[Summon Limit]]", "[[Ground Collapse]]" and "[[Number 16: Shock Master]]" to either keep cards in the Hand or make it more laborious to play them. This is why it is often recommended to take an "[[Infernity Break]]" with one of "[[Infernity Archfiend]]"'s searches, so you can destroy one of your own cards if you absolutely need to be able to Set cards. ==Post-September 2010== After the September 2010 Forbidden list's restriction on "[[Infernity Launcher]]", the "Infernity" Deck began to lean on its control aspect. "[[Infernity Avenger]]" replaced "[[Infernity Beetle]]" as the deck's primary [[Tuner]]. It allows "Infernities" to Summon level 8 Synchro monsters with relative ease, which, without the [[OTK]] potential offered by a full play-set of "[[Infernity Launcher]]", is necessary for the deck's continued viability. Given that, "[[Hundred Eyes Dragon]]" is arguably the most important Synchro monster in the "Infernity" arsenal. As touched upon, it can banish "[[Infernity Mirage]]," copy its effect, and then Special Summon "[[Infernity Archfiend]]" and "[[Infernity Necromancer]]". This triggers a search out of "[[Infernity Archfiend]]", usually for "[[Infernity Barrier]]", "[[Infernity Launcher]]", or "[[Infernity Mirage]]". Then, "[[Infernity Necromancer]]" Special Summons "[[Infernity Avenger]]", which is used to [[Synchro Summon]] for another Level 8 Synchro monster. Note that this monster could be another "[[Hundred Eyes Dragon]]", which would restart this cycle with the addition of a set "[[Infernity Barrier]]." These loops are best finished with "[[Infernity Doom Dragon]]": not only a 3000 ATK beatstick equipped with a [[Burn]] and destruction effect, but more importantly, an "Infernity" monster with which to fulfill the activation requirement of "Barrier." "[[Stygian Street Patrol]]" has some synergy with the deck, although it can be a bit slow if drawn as opposed to being sent straight from the Deck to the Graveyard. It acts as a Special Summon outlet for "[[Infernity Archfiend]]" if it's the last card in hand, and as a means of barraging an opponent with Synchro monsters by Special Summoning an "[[Infernity Mirage]]" searched by "[[Infernity Archfiend]]" after a Normal Summon. If included, a balance between "[[Armageddon Knight]]" and "[[Dark Grepher]]" as opposed to just "[[Dark Grepher]]" is preferred, as "Infernity" Decks tend to have a lower monster-to-Spells/Traps ratio than most Decks, rendering "[[Dark Grepher]]'s" discard unwieldy. This archetype can easily Summon "[[Red Nova Dragon]]". "[[Infernity Archfiend]]", "[[Infernity Necromancer]]" and "[[Infernity Avenger]]" are used to Summon "[[Red Dragon Archfiend]]", at which point "[[Infernity Beetle]]" is Summoned and Tributed for two additional copies of itself. These are then tuned with "Red Dragon Archfiend" to Special Summon "Red Nova Dragon". Another way of Summoning "[[Red Nova Dragon]]" is by having "[[Infernity Archfiend]]" and "[[Infernity Beetle]]" in the grave. Once you have this, if "[[Infernity Mirage]]" is drawn, it can be used to summon both "[[Infernity Archfiend]] and "[[Infernity Beetle]]" from the grave allowing you to add "[[Infernity Launcher]]" to your hand and activate it. Then, tribute "[[Infernity Beetle]]", to summon two copies of it, to Synchro Summon with one "[[Infernity Beetle]]" and "[[Infernity Archfiend]]" for a Level 6 synchro monster, then again for "[[Red Dragon Archfiend]]", then use "[[Infernity Launcher]]" to re-summon the "[[Infernity Beetle]]" and Synchro for "[[Red Nova Dragon]]" {{{{Decklist|Recommended Cards|color=|color2=|monsters =cards

==Post-Duel Terminal 7=Official Deck=== After the release of "[[Lavalval Chain]]" in [[Duel Terminal 7]], some players began focusing the "{{Decklist|Reasoning-Gate Infernity" Deck solely on Xyz Summoning rather than Synchro Summoning<ref>https://ygorganization. As a result, the com/ocg-duelist-festival-2016-obelisk-force-deck has greater resistance to the dreaded "[[Evilswarm Ophion]]".-recipes/</ref>|effect monsters =The Deck now focuses entirely on Rank 3 and Rank 4 Xyz Monsters. The only "Infernity" Monsters that are needed in the Deck are "[[Infernity Archfiend]]" and "* [[Infernity Necromancer]]". "Archfiend" is everything to this deck; it searches the key cards and facilitates the negation ability of "[[Infernity BarrierHeiress]]". "Lavalval Chain" can place him on top of the Deck every turn, netting you a free "Infernity" card every draw phase. This Deck attempts to [[Xyz Summon]] "[[Lavalval Chain]]" as soon as possible through the use of cards like "[[Stygian Street Patrol]]", "[[Instant Fusion]]" and "[[Summoner Monk]]". By using "Chain", you can draw into "[[Infernity Archfiend]]" every turn, allowing him to search out the Deck's key trap cards, "[[Infernity Break]]" and "[[Infernity Barrier]]". These traps negate or destroy your opponent's cards, giving the "Infernity" Deck more of a * [[StunDark Grepher]] feel than ever before. The weaknesses of this build of the "Infernity" deck, compared to the Synchro build, include Xyz monsters with lower ATK and not as efficient of effects, compared to more powerful Synchro monsters with more ATK and more deadly effects. Additionally, you are unable to perform the "* [[Hundred Eyes Dragon]]" and Infernity Mirage loop, which gives you more "[[Infernity Barrier]]" or "[[Infernity BreakArcher]]"s and more control over your opponent.  Not only that, but your highest ATK "Infernity" monster in this build is "[[Infernity Archfiend]]" at only 1800 ATK - making it easy for your opponent to attack over your "* [[Infernity Archfiend]]", rendering your "[[Infernity Barrier]]"s useless. Or you may often not even have "[[Infernity Archfiend]]" on the field, and instead as an Xyz Material, rendering your "[[Infernity Barrier]]"s even less effective. The Synchro deck on the other hand, has "[[Infernity Doom Dragon]]" protecting your Infernity Barriers with 3000 ATK.x3 One of the key combos in this build is summoning "[[Summoner Monk]]" and using his effect to summon "* [[Infernity ArchfiendPatriarch]]", and continue going from there. However, this combo is can be inefficient due to the fact that you usually will sometimes need to set your Spell cards in order to activate your "[[Infernity]]" monsters' effects, and you won't always draw a Spell to discard. Requiring to use much of your Deck for Spell cards that usually will not keep your monsters safe and your opponent's field under control, in place of removal Traps which the Synchro build uses, will often leave you with dead cards waiting to draw a Summoner Monk. Lastly, "[[Lavalval Chain]]"'s ability to place an "* [[Infernity ArchfiendGeneral]]" on top of your Deck is often too slow, as you must wait for the next turn to draw him. {{Decklist|Recommended Cards|color=|color2=|monsters =<!--This is not an exact Decklist.

Also, getting [[Stygian Street Patrol]] in the graveyard does good, especially with the searching effect of [[Infernity Archfiend]]. The advantage of this deck is that you don't need the sending effects of [[Armageddon Knight]] and [[Dark Grepher]], as the [[Lightsworn]] monsters take care of it. Another plus with this deck is that since [[Infernity]] monsters are DARK and [[Lightsworn]] monsters are LIGHT, there is room for chaos monsters, like [[Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning]] and [[Chaos Sorcerer]]. {{Decklist|Recommended Cards|color=|color2=|monsters =<!--This is not an exact Decklist.

===Weaknesses===Advantages like using Lavalval Chain with [[LylaDespite their power, Lightsworn Sorceress]] and [["Infernity Archfiend]], or another Level 4 [[Lightsworn]] monster to send [[Stygian Street Patrol]] to " can be quite the graveyard, or put [[Infernity Archfiend]] to glass-cannon as their reliance on having no hand can keep the top of the deck. Also, player from using their effects if using [[Effect Veiler]] in your deck, and you get unable to summon it with discard. Cards like "[[Infernity ArchfiendAsh Blossom & Joyous Spring]] " and "[[Infernity NecromancerEffect Veiler]] on " can also harm the field, then [[Chaos Goddess]] is a very good card to run, Deck significantly as it shutting down the effects of "Archfiend" can bring back be a DARK Synchro monster in your graveyard back to the field, death sentence. Cards like "[[Hundred Eyes DragonDimensional Fissure]]" will also stop it dead in its tracks. Another, [[Void Ogre Dragon]] or [[Infernity Doom Dragon]]arguably greater flaw is the Deck's reliance on an explosive start which can quickly drain resources and make it vulnerable if unable to go in for a quick kill
== Trivia ==
 * In The Deck has great symbolism with its user in the Japanese version of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' when [[anime, Kalin Kessler|Kalin]] says '''Infernity''', you can hear him mispronouncing it '''Infinity'''. * In [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 054|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's episode 54]] and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 055|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's episode 55]] the word '''Infernity''' was used instead of '''Infernalty''' (ep. 33-35)mindset. For example, when Kalin played believes he must pay for his wrongdoings, and "Infernality Fiendfate" in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 033|episode 33]]determines whether or not he will win. He largely determines his win or loss off his topdecks, as he then later called it by its ''[[TCG]]'' name must have no cards in his hand when Dueled Yusei again (ep. 54-55)dueling. This may have been because can be well said about the play-style of "[[Infernity]]" archetype was not officially released when episodes 33-35 premiered, so the name was not completely decided yetas it is an almost guaranteed win if you draw a good hand, but you will likely lose very quickly if you draw a bad hand and are unable to empty it fast enough, unless you topdeck an extremely lucky card such as "Infernity Archfiend". * The new In the manga, Kalin sometimes refers to his monsters as "Purgatory" monsters rather than "Infernity" cards used in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's (manga)|manga]] have a Medieval theme
* The handless effect of the "Infernity" archetype is identical to the "Hellbent" effect of the "Rakdos" related cards from Magic: The Gathering.
** Additionally, the "Rakdos" cards use Red/Fire and Black/Darkness mana, while "Infernity" monsters are [[DARK]]-Attribute monsters and their artwork generally depicts them in some fiery locationor using fire.* "Infernity" is notorious for its ability to take huge advantage of new Summoning types and mechanics.** While initially doing little of note, the archetype quickly made great use of "[[Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier]]" pre-errata.** During the [[Xyz Monster|Xyz era]], the Deck was able to abuse both "[[Leviair the Sea Dragon]]" and "[[Lavalval Chain]]" to easily keep "Hundred Eyes Dragon" in a deadly state, even copying the effects of "Mirage" to keep the game in their favor.** During the [[Pendulum Monster|Pendulum era]] the archetype favored using a combination of "[[Performapal Skullcrobat Joker]]", "[[Performapal Monkeyboard|Monekyboard]]" and "[[Performapal Lizardraw|Lizardaw]]" to easily abuse [[Pendulum Summon]]ing, short-lived as it was.** When [[Link Monster]]s were introduced, "Infernity" was almost immediately using a combination of "[[Firewall Dragon]]", "[[Summon Sorceress]]" and "[[Knightmare Goblin]]" to rise up once again prior to the cards in question being banned.== References ==<references />{{Archetype Archseries navbox}}{{Archseries navbox (anime)}}{{Archseries navbox (manga)}}{{Archseries navbox (Duel Links)}}[[Category:TCG and OCG archetypes]]
