Arc-V Fanfic: One-Off characters wanted!
Name: (this should be obvious)
Home Dimension: (Standard, Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz)
A brief description of your character
And finally, what kind of deck does your your character use. (Be at least somewhat reasonable with this. I know IRL decks are gravitating towards a mix of Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz. However, only Reiji and Reira have been known to use all three. Fusion Dimension spies may be allowed to mix one other extra deck summoning technique with Fusion Summon, depending on which dimension they were trained to infiltrate. I may allow your fanmade archetype, on the grounds that you provide a link to it and it's not broken beyond belief.)

My answer with the Socrat archetype... Sustainability. Cutting down on the number of cards based around searching and recycling Polymerization will be beneficial in terms of replacing them with cards that can be beneficial in other ways. However, the Socratus fusion monsters themselves thrive on having cards to banish from the Graveyard, so I had to think of something other than Fusion Gate to get the job done.
Now, we get into specifics. I managed to include both of the types that were added after the core 17. One Wyrm-type as a fusion monster and a bunch of Psychic-Type monsters who will function as the base cards and Fusion Material. This deck thrives on once per turn effects, with the non-fusion monsters often helping to load up the graveyard, while the fusion monsters banish from the graveyard for their costs. The other half of the fusion requires rock-type monsters. They don't necessarily have to be the Monoliths, but at the same time, the Monoliths have their effects activate when they get used as Fusion Material for Socratus fusion monsters. And as for the Granddaddy of the archetype: Lightsworn fans may have a field day with this.
