"'''Kashtira'''", known as "'''Kshatrira'''" (クシャトリラ ''Kushatorira'') in the ''[[OCG]]'', is an [[archetype]] of primarily [[Level]]/[[Rank]] 7 [[Psychic]] monsters introduced in ''[[Darkwing Blast]]''.

* This card is useful as filler for players that quickly want to thin out their decks and/or have cards with a discard cost.

"Kshatrira" appears to be a portmanteau of [[wikipedia:Kshatriya|Kshatriya]] and ''ira'' (Latin for "anger"). The 3 Main Deck members introduced in "Darkwing Blast" are named after mythological creatures. Their names combine to form "UFO" ('''U'''nicorn, '''F'''enrir, and '''O'''gre).

==Design==
+
* This card works well with "[[Snipe Hunter]]" and "[[The Transmigration Prophecy]]"; discard "Volcanic Shell" for the effect of "Snipe Hunter" and use its search effect to search out another "Volcanic Shell" and use "Sniper Hunter's" effect again. When the third "Volcanic Shell" is searched out and discarded, use "The Transmigration Prophecy" to return the first two to the deck and keep the loop going.
−
All members (and their structures, as depicted in "[[Kashtira Birth]]") have a primarily red and black color scheme, with purple accents on the Main Deck monsters. Their own art as well as related Spells and Traps depict them as alien invaders onto "[[Primitive Planet Reichphobia]]", taking resources away in canisters (manifested in gameplay as banishing face-down).

"Kashtira" is an archetype focused around primarily [[Level]] 7 [[Psychic]] monsters and [[Banish|banishing]] cards face-down. Most members of the archetype, excluding "[[Kashtira Riseheart]]", are Level 7 monsters able to [[Special Summon]] themselves if the player controls no monsters or by some other condition, such as with "[[Scareclaw Kashtira]]" and "[[Tearlaments Kashtira]]", are able to search cards while on the field, and can banish their opponent's cards (from various different locations) if they attack or if the opponent activates a monster effect. This banish playstyle is further emphasized through their original boss monster "[[Kashtira Shangri-Ira]]", a Rank 7 [[Xyz Monster]] with 0 ATK able to Special Summon more Kashtira monsters to the field and lockdown unused [[Main Monster Zone]]s as well as [[Spell & Trap Zone]]s each time an opponent's card in their possession is banished.
 
−
This Playing style would be further enhanced through the introduction of "[[Kashtira Riseheart]]", a Level 4 [[FIRE]] [[Warrior]] monster able to banish a "Kashtira" card from your Deck to banish the top 3 cards of the opponent's Deck, face-down, and become Level 7 itself for use in [[Xyz Summon]]s. Their new offensive force is the Rank 7 "[[Kashtira Arise-Heart]]", a 3000 ATK monster able to be quickly Xyz Summoned once per turn using any 1 "Kashtira" monster on the field the same turn that "Shangri-Ira" used its effect and able to force any cards send to the GY to be banished instead as well as granting itself more materials to use 3 materials and banish any card on the field, face-down.
 
−
"Kashtira" Spell/Trap cards focus on summoning additional "Kashtira" monsters, and either banishing opponents' cards if the opponent activates a card of the same type, or activating an effect when they're banished themselves.

"Volcanic Shell":
  • This card is useful as filler for players that quickly want to thin out their decks and/or have cards with a discard cost. Discarding "Volcanic Shell" for a card cost and then using its effect costs no card advantage, a mere 500 Life Points, and next turn its effect can be used again for a +1 advantage, in the process thinning the deck of two cards.
  • This card works well with "Snipe Hunter" and "The Transmigration Prophecy"; discard "Volcanic Shell" for the effect of "Snipe Hunter" and use its search effect to search out another "Volcanic Shell" and use "Sniper Hunter's" effect again. When the third "Volcanic Shell" is searched out and discarded, use "The Transmigration Prophecy" to return the first two to the deck and keep the loop going.
  • Use this card to pay the cost for "Card Trader", which effectively allows an extra draw every turn for 500 Life Points.
