      Almost every one of the 7 Nemeses cards is playable but they just never got a second wave of support that makes them a strategy on their own. It's laughable that this archetype that needs cards in the banish pile to do something has no way to get cards there.

    So, I think a good answer for this would have also been the Psy-Frame monsters. Psy-Frame as an archetype exists, but gamma was a splashable hand trap in a lot of decks, and what usually followed gamma was Omega, an absolute house of a generic level 8 synchro played in even more decks than gamma + driver

    This is one of my favorite aspect of Yu-gi-oh having no rotation. The ceiling for creativity feels really high. You have 20 years of card releases you can dig through to find the one card that has the perfect synergy in the deck you want to play, the card that will potentially give you an edge. And when you put it in application against an opponent who never even knew this card existed, that feeling is worth it.

    So here's a very very very odd archetypal card that'd not a monster that sees fringe play in United Noble Knight. Sword of Sparkles, an X-saber equip card that cannot be equipped by anything in the deck, but has the function of being able to tribute a monster on field to put itself back on top of the deck. So what you do is you use Isolde, get Medraut and then use Sparkles to clear Isolde so you can use Medraut's effect to continue extending. It is... such a weird tech card but it's hilarious.

      How would that work? Isoldes effect to not be able to normal or special the searched monster is for the rest of the turn and not while Isolde is on the field, so clearing her does not allow you to summon the searched Medraut, or am i getting something wrong?

    Surprised Verte Anaconda didn't get mentioned once. Predaplant has cards which lock you into Fusion Monsters, a Link Monster does very little for the archetype. Verte Anaconda is not very good in Predaplant, yet in just about every other deck it was brokenly powerful allowing you to cheat out just about any fusion monster. The fact it's banned in the TCG and OCG, but not in Master Duel remains baffling.

    Hot RDA abyss. Most of the resonators are level 2 at least the good ones and you'd play a few resonator chain... but other more meta decks have an easier time making a 9* RDA monster. I actually just wish the non tuner was less generic, shouldve just said Red dragon archfiend like most of the other RDA synchros say.

    Platinum gadget deserves a mention as technically a better Union Carrier for ABC because both can't be used as link material the turned they're summoned but Carrier having a special lock on the equipped monster stops it there and Plat Gadget also has better arrows. Ignoring that in an ideal world you'd make Plat Gadget, I:P, and Carrier and using Carrier to give ABC protection

    They aren't necessarily bad in archetype but only because they're individually strong.

What kind of synergy could it have with the archetype, what kind of plays would you do with its effect. I was really curious about all of that. So I asked a friend who was known for playing plant decks in general. His response?
    "Yeah, of course you play it! You can make Dragoon with it!"

    Ra Sphere Mode/Kaijus
    Since Sphere Mode uses your Normal Summon it's more likely played in-archetype, but if you're playing a Kaiju, there's approximately a 99.99999999999999999999999999999999% chance the only Kaiju-specific Spell/Trap you're using is Interrupted Kaiju Slumber.
    Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity.
    If you're playing it, it's because you have Crimson Dragon and are cheating it out to stop your opponent from playing the game on their turn. Granted, it's possible to make those in Red Dragon Archfiend decks, but you see it _outside_ of the archetype *WAAAAAAY* more than in.

    I think a reasonable honorable mention could go to Denglong. Most of the decks that ran him didn't even want to run any of the other Yang Zing cards other than Nine Pillars for a free negate, and he gave basically any deck access to Crystal Wing through Tzolkin if the deck could afford to run any of the main deck True King monsters or most other Wyrms in general. The majority of decks that can make him certainly don't use Yang Zing cards as materials if they can get around it helping avoid running more garnets than necessary but for a potentially huge payoff nonetheless.
