Blood Puppet Archetype

[Dark_Stars]

An old thought of mine that was focused on something rarely done in the game itself, paying LP for effects to be used. The main theme here involves level 4, Dark-attribute, Machine-Type monsters that have 0 DEF (Black Salvo and Recurring Nightmare away). Each of the monsters has some effect based on paying LP in order to use, and they each sport a puppet design with blood-stained weapons, as well as being named after different shades of red. The main focus for them is swarming the field with their members, followed by Xyz Summon Spam.

Before we start, I'm fully aware that this kind of deck is made harder to use on account of the extra monster zone rule. For the sake of examining the archetype, let's pretend Konami didn't make that rule for a second. With that out of the way, here we go!

cool archetype. I would add more cards that allow life recovery. Rosso Mace is very nice in making the opponenent pay
