"Rainbow Bridge", known as "Bridge" (はし Kakehashi) in the OCG, is an archetype that supports the "Crystal" archetypes.

Playing style[edit]

The "Rainbow Bridge" cards primarily excel at providing card advantage for "Crystal Beast" Decks in searching the necessary "Crystal" Spells/Traps which can subsequently support "Crystal Beast" monsters. "Rainbow Bridge" is a Normal Spell that simply searches any "Crystal" Spell/Trap. "Rainbow Bridge of the Heart" is a Continuous Spell that can also search any "Crystal" Spell/Trap by destroying a "Crystal Beast" card, but it also allows an additional Normal Summon of a "Crystal Beast" monster and can bounce an opponent's card along with itself to the hand whenever a "Crystal Beast" card is placed in the Spell & Trap Zone, serving as another piece of disruption. Finally, "Rainbow Bridge of Salvation" is a Normal Trap with a niche field-resetting effect that is difficult to fulfill but its more useful secondary effect in the GY can search any Field Spell and a "Crystal Beast" monster.

"Rainbow Bridge" cards are directly supported by "Awakening of the Crystal Ultimates" which can search or mill "Rainbow Bridge" cards.
