Doom-Z, Artmage, and even Elfnotes are suspect for playability in Genesys - all thanks to this three-for-one palymaker.

JUDGE! My Edison opponent chained D.D. Crow to this Draw Spell - and now they're trying to say I don't draw 2! Tell them they're wrong!
Pot of Avarice
Don't get too scared! This WIND monster's advantageous level gave it a home everywhere from Burning Abyss to Ghostrick.
Speedroid Terrortop
Thanks to its incredible attribute lineup, massive pressure, and lack of extra deck plays, this archetype of 2500s is currently being splashed anywhere it'll fit.

Stake Your Soul
This level three warrior monster did NOT live up to its namesake - appearing in three-axis as well as Isolde strategies.

Kaibaman the Legend of Heart
JUDGE! My opponent says I can't search monsters with this attack stat using Sangan. I don't get it - it COULD be under 1500, it COULD not!

This archetype was used sporadically in Maliss - its level 3 bodies were perfect for a Cherubini line. Just make sure your opponent's backrow is clear!
Radiant Typhoon

Sea Serpent
A Rank 5 that helps deal double damage and a monster that helps Atem summon Slifer

Hallowed Life Barrier
Though it's only okay in the deck, strategies playing Full Armored Dark Night Lancer occasionally play this normal spell card - that way their Fortress can detatch two.
