Playing Style

The main goal of this archetype is to build a field with as many co-linked monsters as possible. All the "Troymare" Link monsters revealed so far have effects that activate when they are Link Summoned, by the cost of 1 card in the player's hand, and they allow the player to draw 1 card if they were co-linked when those effects were activated; also, they have Continuous Effects that are either benefit monsters that are co-linked or burden monsters that are not.

Due to their first effects discarding as a cost, they have some synergy with "The Fabled" monsters.
