In promotional material, the term "theme" (in both English and Japanese) is often used to describe a group of cards who share a single aesthetic and gameplay theme, and can function as a single strategy (i.e. encompassing the common usage of both "archetype" and "[[series]]"). The term "series" is also often used for this purpose.
On the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' Card Database, players can save decklists to the site, which can be tagged deck with various "categories". The list of possible categories includes almost every archetype and mostly does not include themes that are not archetypes (such as [[Egyptian God]] or [[Sacred Beast]]), but it does include [[Adventurer Token (series)|Adventurer]] and [[Train]].<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/deck_search.action?request_locale=en | title = Deck Search (Deck List) | website= Yu-Gi-Oh!

The term "archetype" is not officially used in the rules of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game]]''; however, it has occasionally appeared in some marketing material, where it has been used consistently with both "theme" and the common usage.
