Card(s) of the Week New Year Special ---- Welcome to the New Year of the Dragons

I bet you didn't see this coming :D
First of all, I wish every one a happy new year. Since it's the year of the dragon, it's time to review some awesome dragons from Galactic Overlord
Today, I'm going to talk about the awesome Holy Carved Seal/Holy marked/Hieroglyph
The holy marked archetype revolves around tributing. When the monsters are tributed, they summon 1 normal dragon trype monster from hand, deck or grave (brokennnn - even if the dragon's atk and def are changed to 0).

Let's start with the Key card of the deck



This is the corner stone of the deck. Since all the effect monsters summon normal dragons after tributing, this guy can be summoned 5 times in a turn. Then you can combo this card with 1 billion other cards for stupid advantage. And it makes rank 8 Xyz stupid easy to get out.

First of the effect monster is:



So, they have their shura. Kill and monster then summon a seal FTW. But it is much better than that. This monster also summons a seal after being tributed. Thich works wonders with the next two cards.





Wow these two are just wow.... Summon Geib, tribute to ss either shiyu or nephthe. Then geib summons a seal, then you can tribute the seal to kill a spell or trap or SEND a monster to the grave. send = no stardust/magatama/gachi/zenmaines shenanigans. Very epic.

Now here is another awesome monster



Woot, they have their own cyber dragon. This works excellently with the two cards above. Also, this works extremely well with monarchs. SS this card, tribute for monarch, SS say luster dragon number 2 and Xyz in to rank 6 and beat face.

Ok the Xyz monsters:



Very good one for one destruction. It also triggers your other dragon's effects (detach tribute 2, kill two cards, summon two seals. Xyz in to thunder end XD). But beware of starlight road and huge revolution reversal.



This card is just wow. This makes everything dragons ever needed. Summon dragons from the deck. Who cares if the atk and def are zero, the dragon's effects are more worth it.
Summon REDMD and summon spam
Or you can summon galaxy eyes and use effect to banish it. This way the atk and defence will reset. Awesome.

Right now on to the spell/trap supports and man are there many:



Theme'd rota..... RUN max or i'll cut you



Ok this card is retarded in this deck. SS Tfeni, Tribute for shiyu, summon a seal, tribute seal to blow up back row, tribute shiyu for nephthe, summon seal, tribute seal get rid of monster, tribute nephthe to normal summon luster dragon no2 or another lv 6 dragon, summon seal Xyz in to rank 6 aka autmus, detach to summon red eyes darkness metal from deck, ss a lv 6 monster, tribute........
So after a whole turn of tributing, you have this in hand and 5 monsters on the field. Now you can use this and draw like 6 cards..... RETARDED







Yeah that's a lot of draw power..... Not to mention trade-in and advance draw both works with super rejuvenation



This card is another retarded card in this deck. So you can't do anything with a 0 atk and def normal monster?, no problem. Tribute it and summon ANYTHING from EITHER player's grave. So summon catastor/BLS/Chaos sorc/key cards (hornet/treeborn) and then watch as the opp rage quit on you.

Now on to the Traps:



This card is made for this deck. Not only does it wipe out pretty much all monsters your opponent controls (every monster played these days has like no def points), but it also triggers the tribute effects of your dragons. wonderful.



Themed icarus attack. But much better. This thing is ridiculous. it's ANY CARD and it doesn't destroy but BANISH, I mean SERIOUSLY???!!! Chain this when your monsters are going to be bottomlessed torrentialed mirror forced etc. Then you can summon normal dragons and pwn :D



Trap version of honest just for light dragons. Guess what all the carved seal monster's type and attribute are? XD

Overall Archetype Ratings:

Too many cards to type XD

I'll give this archetype a 8/10
This archetype has potential but may have many dead draws (damn high level dragons). Also, this archetype will make so many other get better. Rituals and monarchs now have another way to make pluses (yes tribute from hand counts too XD)
