Introduction
Hi, I am
and today I bring you a Guide about Fur Hire, formerly called Skyfang Brigade.Fur Hire is a mercenary/pirate archetype that specializes in swarming the field. The low level monsters (1-4) have an effect that allows the player to Special Summon other Fur Hire monsters while triggering their second effects. The high level monsters (5+) have more powerful effects that activate on Special Summon.
Loading... is the ideal opening play to search for any Fur Hire monster, but they can also be pretty versatile.
- Need to pop face-up or face-down cards on the field? Loading... or Loading...
- Need negates? Loading... for Spells/Traps or Loading... for Monsters
- Generate card advantage?
- Loading... to search any monster "Fur Hire" from the Deck,
- Loading... to add any monster "Fur Hire" from the GY back to your Hand,
- Loading... to Special Summon any monster "Fur Hire" from your GY, but it gets shuffled into the deck once it leaves the field,
- Loading... to add any card from the top of your Deck to your hand by revealing the top cards up to the number of other monster "Fur Hire" you control.
While you want at least half your Main Deck to be Fur Hire Monsters, there's also room for Handtraps, Techs, and other Archetype engines (Danger!?, Mekk-Knight, Tri Brigade and P.U.N.K., to name a few).
Extra deck is mostly containing Links as the field is easily filled up with Monsters. Loading... is currently the only Extra Deck Fur Hire monster, usually ran at 1-2 copies. The other spots can be used for whatever you want. Because this Deck can swarm a ton of monsters at once (assuming no disruptions or negates, or you can play through some them with cards like Loading... , Loading... , etc.), summoning high Link monsters like Loading... , Loading... , Loading... , etc. is common.
If this Introduction sounds interesting to you, keep reading down below to find out more about the Fur Hire Archetype.
Archetype Cards
Currently the Archetype has access to 16 different cards with 2 new cards recently released for the newest set in the OCG "Darkwing Blast". Let's take a closer look at each card.
Monsters
Every Lv 1-4 has the ability to Special Summon any monster "Fur Hire" from your hand onto the field except themselves (with one exception). Once a monster "Fur Hire" is Special Summoned, the other effect is triggered for additional benefits, even when they are special summoned themselves. Keep in mind that every Fur Hire card is "Hard once per Turn", meaning any additional copies cannot activate their effects. The Lv 5+ monsters also have 2 effects, one that activates on its Special Summon and either a continuous Effect or an activateable Quick-Effect.
