Yugioh Lore / Story Integration: Nemleria
Master duel just got a new archetype added to it, the "Nemleria" cards. The theme is that there's a sleepy girl, "Dreaming Nemleria":
Tumblr media
Cute, isn't she? Well, let's talk about this, because Nemleria as a deck focuses on whimsy, cuteness, and screaming existential horror. And its mechanics work to enforce that vibe!
Let's focus on Dreaming Nemleria, the archetype's core monster. Nemleria is a Pendulum Monster, the bane of returning older yugioh players and much of the playerbase. Introduced in Arc-V the pendulum mechanic lets you do a lot of stuff and has a lot of words that let you all culminate in decks that are not very good.
Nemleria interacts with the Pendulum mechanic in a somewhat deviant way, though. Normally a Pendulum deck will at some point place two pendulum monsters face up in their spell and trap zones, then execute a "pendulum summon", summoning monsters from the hand or face up extra deck with levels between the "scales" of the two pend cards, the little blue and red icons on the card. Nemleria doesn't do that. Instead, she focuses on the "face-up extra deck" part of the pendulum rules; destroyed Pendulum monsters are placed there, and for Nemleria that's good, because this is the secret to her theme:
She's the dreamer, and your opponent is but a dream
Here's how it works. First, you take a Dreaming Nemleria from your hand, then place it in a spell/trap zone, and activate her Pendulum effect:
Once per turn, during your Main Phase: You can place 1 "Nemleria" Continuous Spell from your Deck or GY face-up on your field, and if you do, add this card to your Extra Deck face-up.
You cannot Special Summon "Dreaming Nemleria" the turn you activate this effect.
This gets Nemleria off of the battlefield (it's dangerous!) and off to the Extra Deck, where enemies generally can't interact with her. She's placed on top of the extra deck, with all the other monsters in it under her, like a pillow. How cute.
You also get to add to your hand a continuous spell card. That's gonna be the Dream Tower of Princess Nemleria:
Tumblr media
In her dreams she's a princess in a land of sweets! As a fun detail, the card's tower has 15 layers of tarts, and the Extra Deck can contain no more than 15 cards at the start of the game, all tucked away under Nemleria. Dreaming Tower has multiple effects but the relevant combo one is this:
You can banish 2 face-down cards from your Extra Deck, face-down; add 2 Level 10 Beast monsters with different names from your Deck to your hand.
This gets us to the core of the Nemleria theme and the start of the horror aspects. As Nemleria restlessly sleeps, she's protected in the dreamland by her powerful dream defenders. In the game-mechanical sense, the Dream Defenders keep you from dying while banishing cards from your Extra Deck that are under Nemleria to gain some kind of advantage. And the Dream Defenders look like this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oreiller, Couette, Revil - that is, Pillow, Duvet, and Alarm Clock. The last one is a 'Dream Devourer' who can destroy the others.
What happens when you run out of cards in the Extra Deck? What happens when all the stuffing under Nemleria is banished? Well, then you get to her monster effect:
Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set.
Must be Special Summoned (from your face-up Extra Deck) by having no cards in your Extra Deck, except "Dreaming Nemleria".
You can only Special Summon "Dreaming Nemleria(s)" once per turn.
If this card is Special Summoned: For every 3 of your face-down banished cards, you can banish up to 1 card from your opponent's field and/or GY, face-down, then shuffle 1 of your face-down banished cards into your Deck for each card you banished by this effect.
She wakes up. And when she wakes up, the battlefield fades away like so much mist. This last effect is often going to banish five cards from your opponent's field/GY, and it doesn't target and it places them in the even-harder-to-retrieve face down banish. If this effect resolves it is going to wipe your opponent's board clean, leaving you free to maul their face with the Dream Defenders and close the game. The Dream Defenders being level 10 also means Nemleria also has access to the Rank 10 XYZ package, meaning she can use their cute sweets bodies as fodder to summon Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max and overlay it into Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Juggernaut Liebe
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These two will just kill your opponent. Sometimes a girl dreams of Bigger Gun. In summary, if you are facing off against a Nemleria player, consider bargaining:

Apropos of nothing, I’m a big fan of Yugioh (the card game) and have been for years, which I only bring up because two new monsters they announced today are straight-up just minions of the Denizen from the Land of Sweets and Slime.
Like:

These would fit in right next to the Trickey-Lime Piedra. I honestly might work the...candy “tendons” idea the vanilla one has for something of my own, that’s a gnarly visual.

in case you were wondering, this is the current list of archetypes for the upcoming archetype tournament.
please note that the tournament won't be for a while, and i will be accepting submissions until then! All submissions will be accepted (as long as the submission is actually an archetype, of course)
A bunch of these are just me putting in every archetype i could think of, and those are the only ones that might end up being removed from this list. If someone specifically submits an archetype, it's in for good.
anyways here is the full list (current number: 220)

《EEPY GIRL DOES SOME BLOODBORNE SHIT AND THEN DEALS ARTILLERY STRIKES STRAIGHT OUTTA MONTENEGRO LIKE ITS AN OLD RANK10YGO VIDEO》
Yugioh Lore / Story Integration: Nemleria
Master duel just got a new archetype added to it, the "Nemleria" cards. The theme is that there's a sleepy girl, "Dreaming Nemleria":

Cute, isn't she? Well, let's talk about this, because Nemleria as a deck focuses on whimsy, cuteness, and screaming existential horror. And its mechanics work to enforce that vibe!

Normally a Pendulum deck will at some point place two pendulum monsters face up in their spell and trap zones, then execute a "pendulum summon", summoning monsters from the hand or face up extra deck with levels between the "scales" of the two pend cards, the little blue and red icons on the card. Nemleria doesn't do that. Instead, she focuses on the "face-up extra deck" part of the pendulum rules; destroyed Pendulum monsters are placed there, and for Nemleria that's good, because this is the secret to her theme:
She's the dreamer, and your opponent is but a dream
Here's how it works. First, you take a Dreaming Nemleria from your hand, then place it in a spell/trap zone, and activate her Pendulum effect:
Once per turn, during your Main Phase: You can place 1 "Nemleria" Continuous Spell from your Deck or GY face-up on your field, and if you do, add this card to your Extra Deck face-up.
You cannot Special Summon "Dreaming Nemleria" the turn you activate this effect.
This gets Nemleria off of the battlefield (it's dangerous!) and off to the Extra Deck, where enemies generally can't interact with her. She's placed on top of the extra deck, with all the other monsters in it under her, like a pillow. How cute.
You also get to add to your hand a continuous spell card. That's gonna be the Dream Tower of Princess Nemleria:

In her dreams she's a princess in a land of sweets! As a fun detail, the card's tower has 15 layers of tarts, and the Extra Deck can contain no more than 15 cards at the start of the game, all tucked away under Nemleria. Dreaming Tower has multiple effects but the relevant combo one is this:
You can banish 2 face-down cards from your Extra Deck, face-down; add 2 Level 10 Beast monsters with different names from your Deck to your hand.
This gets us to the core of the Nemleria theme and the start of the horror aspects. As Nemleria restlessly sleeps, she's protected in the dreamland by her powerful dream defenders. In the game-mechanical sense, the Dream Defenders keep you from dying while banishing cards from your Extra Deck that are under Nemleria to gain some kind of advantage. And the Dream Defenders look like this:

Oreiller, Couette, Revil - that is, Pillow, Duvet, and Alarm Clock. The last one is a 'Dream Devourer' who can destroy the others.
What happens when you run out of cards in the Extra Deck? What happens when all the stuffing under Nemleria is banished? Well, then you get to her monster effect:
Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set.
Must be Special Summoned (from your face-up Extra Deck) by having no cards in your Extra Deck, except "Dreaming Nemleria".
You can only Special Summon "Dreaming Nemleria(s)" once per turn.
If this card is Special Summoned: For every 3 of your face-down banished cards, you can banish up to 1 card from your opponent's field and/or GY, face-down, then shuffle 1 of your face-down banished cards into your Deck for each card you banished by this effect.
She wakes up. And when she wakes up, the battlefield fades away like so much mist. This last effect is often going to banish five cards from your opponent's field/GY, and it doesn't target and it places them in the even-harder-to-retrieve face down banish. If this effect resolves it is going to wipe your opponent's board clean, leaving you free to maul their face with the Dream Defenders and close the game. The Dream Defenders being level 10 also means Nemleria also has access to the Rank 10 XYZ package, meaning she can use their cute sweets bodies as fodder to summon Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max and overlay it into Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Juggernaut Liebe

These two will just kill your opponent. Sometimes a girl dreams of Bigger Gun. In summary, if you are facing off against a Nemleria player, consider bargaining:
