Suffixes
Gungnir
Dragon of the Ice Barrier
Judge! My opponent referred to an "inherent" summon - disqualify them for not using this official term!
Built-In
One of the few good GOAT format LIGHT monsters, this card contains the title of a now-defunct Doug series.
Roulette Barrel
Far and away the most popular Malebranche, this monster punished many forgetful duelists who never resolved his search effect.
Scarm, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss
This ritual archetype follows the story of a boy and his muscle-y, sweaty, comic-book-hero-come to life. They're LITERALLY flaming!
Libromancer
Hieratic Seal
of the Heavenly Spheres
Judge! My opponent fired a bunch of effects at once, and keeps claiming this acronym allows him to order the chain as he pleases! KILL HIM!
SEGOC
This former Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer Garnet features "furry" wheels in the foreground of its art.
Destiny HERO - Dasher
Frequently played as a utility-one-of, this Malebranche made quick work of backrow strategies.
Calcab, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss
Styled from yuri tropes at a nunnery, this archetype's "promised sisters" mechanic isn't subtle.
Exosister
Varudras
Final Bringer of the End Times
Judge! My opponent claims this type of effect can NEVER miss timing - no matter if it's an "if" or "when!" Ban them for lying!
Mandatory
This recently-released monster finally gives Junk Speeder a 5-star monster worth summoning.
Wheel Synchron
The heir apparent to "cowboy for game," this Malebranche was instrumental in closing out close matches.
Barbar, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss.
The debate rages on - is this archetype full of lesbian lovers, or biological sisters?
Evil/Live Twin
Radian
The Multidimensional Kaiju
JUDGE! My evil, deceptive, GOAT format opponent claims guidance for this TCG-banned card changed in the last few years. How could this be!?
Last Will
DAILY DOUBLE
Wheel of Prophecy
Though often-ignored, this Malebranche saw occasional play thanks to its ability to send Good and Evil in the Burning Abyss to the GY. Sometimes it mattered!
Cagna, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss
This archetype's newest wave of support showcase the title monster's fusion into one harmonious being - to me, there's Zero doubt.
Sky Striker
Tsumuha-Kutsunagi
the Lord of Swords
Judge! My opponent must be lying! What do you MEAN this card and her associated sword miss timing? Can't Konami guard against this nombo?
Guardian Eatos
This circular card is finally graduating from anime-only status - a little scary, as it banishes all monsters in your deck.
Underworld Circle
This monster was a huge letdown, as it was leaked with an extremely powerful effect completely absent from its print proper.
Rubic, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss
People make fun of Crystal Beasts, but to me, the most telling monster is this manifestation of Jesse and Jaden's friendship.
Rainbow NEOS
