Neh... it sounds cool, but Shmod needs cards that are easy to play. If you want to finish Molten Sigma Dragon, go for it, but without Fusion substitutes, it'd likely never get played. (Assuming it gets in the game)

Huh... didn't notice you edited this.

I'm not a fan, for reasons I expressed earlier. It's hard to play, though it's interesting that my Mountain Golem could become a volcano.

Molten Hatchling is nifty, but Forging makes it seem like you've never seen Re-Fusion before.

I've seen Re-Fusion, and I worded Forging as I did so that it would be easier to use.

Also, I do like the idea of Mountain Golem becoming a Volcanic Dragon.

Now that the Archetype is putting itself together, its pretty easy to see how it works.

The Archetype continues. Still more will come.

Dude, just edit your original post to make new ones.

I don't see why you're saying [Molten] monster while you gave them the Lava category. I made categories for just that reason, y'know.

Okay. I'm going for the full Archetype review in one go. Comments in orange.

(Female Voice) First, the Fossil. It is a form of Shmod lock; opponents cannot get anywhere because they draw the same bloody cards over and over again. OR they are forced to draw out their best monster to deal with it, making it vulnerable to Minefield's effect.

(Male Voice) The frog is suppost to be used as an easy method of destruction; chuck it in the volcanic geysers that act as Mines for the field, geyser erupts destroying monster, you draw 2 cards. In theory a little to easy to use, but in theory so are your frogs, so its the T.A.D.P.O.L.E. Calling the Des Frog black.

I know I said this archetype was complete, but I lied. It's not finished, and if you look closely, you can see there are new cards.
