Eltheric Archetype, a Pendulum Deck with a bit of Thunder Dragons mixed in [Written]

[The Old Charlelot 2]

Hey everyone,

So, I have been reminiscing about the ARC-V anime lately and I was inspired by the idea of using every Summoning techniques in the game in a single deck. And here is the result (so far). If I were to compare it to other existing decks in the game, I would say it is a mix of D/D/D and Thunder Dragons with a bit of other stuff mixed in. The name of the archetype, “Eltheric” is not really final (I think it’s the name of a sea in Elder Scrolls lore) but it seemed cool enough while I think of something better.

Anyway, have a look and tell me what you think.
