Ringhost Archetype (14/14)

[Zaziuma]

Ringhost is an Archetype of Zombie/EARTH Union/Spirit monsters with various Levels. They focus on returning themselves from the field to the hand and equipping mechanics. As they are both Spirit and Union monsters, they play into this combination of mechanics, so they can still be Special Summoned by their own effect. Each of them has the same effects, a normal Union effect and protection, as well as the End Phase return to the hand of Spirit monsters, then an effect that allows you to equip them when they return during the End Phase, and some unique effect to them.

They have other ways of returning to the hand too, like Chapel of Eternity, which allows you to reset a Union monster or make a Normal Summoned monster into an Equip and then Special Summoning it with its effect. Chapel of Eternity also is able to boost them quite a lot, as it gains Ringhost Counters when using that effect, which boosts all your monsters by 500 ATK/DEF for each on it.

Reaper is their offensive card, which is able to take out 1 card your opponent controls and in their hand by giving up an Equip Card equipped to it, and as a Level 5, has the most ATK/DEF of them all, but while they may not seem fast due to their nature, under the right circumstances, you can easily make a decent field that has both protection and offensive capabilities.

Their name is a portmanteau of Ring and Ghost, relating to the fact that they equip themselves to each other like putting on a ring, and of course them being Zombies, but also that they are based around marriage, as the custom of giving your partner a ring is common. I'll admit that finding a theme wasn't too easy at first, I knew that I wanted a Union Archetype based around rings, so I had tried not only Ringhost, but also Ringlory that was going to be Fairy based, but I wasn't sure what else to do with that, but landed on the marriage theme because the idea of a Zombie Archetype based around rings and marriage was too weird not to do.
