Maliciousea Archetype (16/16)

[Zaziuma]

Maliciousea is an Archetype of Level 4 Aqua, Fish and Sea Serpent/DARK monsters, as well as a single Level 1 monster. They focus on Xyz Summoning and Special Summoning from the Deck. Each Main Deck monster, except Amphipod, has an effect that can Tribute another Maliciousea monster to Special Summon another Maliciousea monster from the Deck with a different Type, where Amphipod does this when it itself is Tributed.

You use this playstyle to perform Xyz Summons with the special method their Xyz Monsters have that make you able to use only a single monster for the Xyz Summon if it was Special Summoned from the Deck, also their offensive effects are about banishing cards face-down.

Along with that, their Field Spell, The Deep Maliciousea, provides the ability to use monsters from your hand or field as though they were materials when you activate their effects, so you don't even need to have a lot of materials attached! That being said, you are also benefited by having at least 3 materials attached to them as well, by providing a protection effect on them.

Their name is a portmanteau of Malicious and Sea, and they are all based around deep sea creatures, particularly the weird and scary ones. I realize that the Sea Serpent monsters aren't really serpents, but it's the closest I was able to come to them.
