Shadow Tamer LOD-EN025

Merry Christmas all. This is why this is being posted early. And for all I give you the gift of this. The most useless Archfiend of all.

She's a Warrior. About the only non-fiend Archfiend so no help bringing out the "Queen of Fiends" (aka "Dark Necrofear").

Her stats are low. She has a FLIP effect... and let's see... it's a "Change of Heart" effect that only works against taking control of 1 of your opponent's Fiend-Type monsters.

Oh.

Boy.

Could this card be any more situational? I'd sooner put "Jowls of Dark Demise" in my deck. At least you can attack directly with the monster you steal there.

There's a reason why this card almost never sees the light of play (not to mention it looks like they redid the artwork a bit to make "Tsukuyomi"... except "Tsukuyomi" looks WAY much better and has a better effect.)

"Summoned Skull" needs to put this "Archfiend" in her place.

Talk about fiend blasphemy! Labeling a monster as an Archfiend that ISN'T a fiend

I mean at least B. Skull Dragon is born paritally from a fiend! 8^D

Blasphemy is right. A human monster being called an 'archfiend'. Not only that but its meant to be used against other fiends.

Dang it, if THIS card was made the 'Archfiend' list why didn't other moster's like Ha Des?! The guy has archfiend in his name in the jap version. Demon is changed is to archfiend, right? Well what happened to 'Demon king of the Underworld: Ha Des'? How is it that a fiend that is deserving of such of the archfiend title be left out and a human warrior who is definitely only a 'archfiend' by name be put in.

Heck even 'Malevolent Nuzzler' is more deserving of that archfiend title than shadow tamer. 'Demon's Kiss'. The artwork obviously has a female fiend on it yet it still wasn't included in the list.

'Demon Tamer'. If anything that name means a tamer (yeah right) of ALL fiends NOT just archfiends.

I was't that upset about Ha Des not being a archfiend but now I am. Its a slap in a face for any fiend duelist.
 
I think Ha Des wasn't labelled an Archfiend because the Universe of Yu-Gi-Oh wouldn't be able to handle it. I mean ATK values aside who do you think would with with both the Dark Ruler AND Terrorking up in arms over who is the rightful leader of all? 8^D

Fiends existed in every realm imaginable (the light realm {more specifically, the heavens} being the possible exception). The realms themselves were large. You can't expect them all to fall under the rule of a single entity. To me, the monster universe exists in a time period where there were many kingdoms within an elemental realm. Councils existed between kingdoms of similar race. But no one single kingdom rules all the [insert type] in the entire monster universe.

There exist two classes of fiends. The normal fiends and the Archfiends. Broken down the term 'archfiend' means Chief fiends. All normal fiends see these fiends as authority. There is one chess archfiend for each element. Each is a commander of the fiends in that part of the realm. Fiends belonging to the fire element (or exist in that element) fall under the rule of the queen. Knight leads the wind fiends, and so on. Each answers to the Terrorking.

Unlike the other realms, the dark realm is very large. Larger than some of the other realms combined. There is no one single power in that realm that rules over all the fiends of that element. The two rulers would be Terrorking (Genocide King Demon) and Ha Des (Demon King of the Underworld). There are two because there exist two types of archfiends. The ones gifted/cursed with the ability of negation and the ones who share the origins but not the ability. Terrorking is the ruler of archfiends with that ability and Ha Des rules over archfiends who don't: Skull demons, Glifer demons, and Talwar demons, Lesser demons, Dark Balter, etc. They are for Ha Des what the other chess archfiends are for the Terrorking. His generals.

Obviously there will be conflicts in interests for the greater good of the fiends. This is where Skull Archfiend comes in. The Skull Archfiend also has say in this. Its name in its original form is 'Swift Lightning Demon King - Skull Demon.' Another demon king. However he is a combination of both families of Archfiends. He has the ability of the negators but he has the form of skull Demons. He's like the tie breaker when Terroking and Ha Des don't agree on something. If anything HE'S the Ruler of all fiends.

Quite a bit extrapolating but hey, it can be useful later in fanfiction.
