Fluffal Patchwork ———————————————— This card is treated as a "Frightfur" monster while on the field. This face-up monster on the field can be used as a substitute for any 1 Fusion Material whose name is specifically listed on a "Frightfur" Fusion Monster Card, but the other Fusion Material(s) must be correct. ———————————————— Can Be Found In: V Jump Fall 2016 (VJMP-JP119)

A Fluffal Deck consists in three groups of monsters working together to achieve their Fusion Summons. Fluffals and Edge Imps reside the Main Deck with abilities to setup their cards and summons, leading to the arrival of a variety of Frightfurs with powerful offensive abilities to finish off the opponent. While the arrival of the Extra Monster Zone affected their performance, is still a powerful Deck with high OTK potential and able to keep a stable momentum after each Fusion Summon.

"Fluffal Patchwork" becomes a wild card for an archetype all about gathering materials for their Fusion Summons. "Patchwork" is treated as a Frightfur while on the board, something that might not seem that efficient at first but can actually create some shortcuts arround expensive setups. This is specially the case with its second ability, as while on the field "Patchwork" can become a replacement for a listed material on a Frightfur Fusion Monster (The other materials must be the proper ones). Overall nothing different to many other Fusion replacements we can find in the card game, but as part of the archetype "Fluffal Patchwork" gains small yet important benefits to have an important role in some of the most important Fusion Summons.

While its poor stats makes "Patchwork" greatly supported by off-theme cards, the archetype provides more than enough options to make its avialability assured during any turn. The summon of "Fluffal Dog" will suffice to look for any Fluffal or Edge Imp inside our Deck, while achieving the same result by sending "Toy Vendor" to the Graveyard (No matter if was destroyed or disposed by an effect like "Fluffal Wings"). Since the effects of "Patchwork" requires for it to be on the field, cards like the mentioned "Toy Vendor" and others such as "Fluffal Penguin" will provide us a Special Summon to bring it from our hand. Soon or later "Patchwork" will end in our Graveyard as becomes a material for our summons, so if is not revived by cards like "Suture Rebirth" and ""Designer Frightfur" it will be brought back to our hand by efects like "Fluffal Octopus" and "fluffal Rabbit".

Obviously, the primary goal of "Fluffal Patchwork" is to work as material for most of our Fusion Summons. While that is not that different compared to other Fluffals since many Frightfurs have vague requeriments, it offers a few yet important liberties to shortcut some of our summons. As a Frightfur while on the field, "Patchwork" along copies of itself and/or other Frightfurs it can shortcut the arrival of "Frightfur Chimera". Otherwise, since already has a replacement ability anyways, it can take over the role of Edge Imps as the main material for most of our Fusion Summons. While might seem that its role as Frightfur isn't that outstanding, is can still become valuable as we counter opponent actions with "Frightfur March" while also giving us a shortcut to summon a Frightfur inside our Extra Deck.

As a monster with substitute abilities "Fluffal Patchwork" might seem a solid choice to work as material for our Fusion Summons, specially if arrives to our field to obtain further options. Unfortunately "Patchwork" is severely overshadowed by many stronger alternatives the archetype offers, as their immense card pool to achieve any Fusion Summon required at the moment along the help of "King of the Swamp" as either a replacement or a searcher card makes the uses arround "Patchwork" not that outstanding in comparison. While has a good opportunity to take over Edge Imps and Frightfurs as the main Fusion material, "Patchwork" is a weak choice when compared to alternatives able to achieve the same purpose(s) from the hand or even Graveyard.

Personal Rating: B

+ Is treated as a Frightfur while on the field + Can replace a listed material on a Frightfur Fusion Monster while on the field + Well supported

Frightfur Daredevil ———————————————— 1 "Edge Imp" monster + 1 "Fluffal" monster When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle: You can inflict 1000 damage to your opponent. If this face-up card is destroyed by battle, or leaves the field because of an opponent's card effect while its owner controls it: You can inflict 500 damage to your opponent for each "Frightfur" monster in your Graveyard. You can only use this effect of "Frightfur Daredevil" once per turn. ———————————————— Can Be Found In: Duelist Pack: Dimensional Guardians (DPDG-EN006)

Most Frightfurs are Fusion Monsters created by a combination of two archetypes working in the same build. Fluffals and Edge Imps combine their abilities to gather materials to afterwards perform easy Fusion Summons, resulting in cheap yet highly aggresive results. Although the introduction of the Extra Monster Zone weakened their OTK potential, the whole Deck is still able to perform expensive Fusion Summons and still have plenty of resources left to keep bringing Frightfurs turn after turn.

"Frightfur Daredevil" provides a series of effects along high stats to keep the pressure against the opponent right from the first turns. When "Daredevil" destroys a monster in battle, in return it will deal 1000 damage to the opponent. But if "Daredevil" leaves the field, no matter if is destroyed or retired by an opponent's effect, instead we will deal 500 damage for each Frightfur monster in our Graveyard. The Fusion Monster might not seem that prevalent when compared to the rest of Frightfurs, but overall "Daredevil" allow us to deal constant damage no matter if we're on the lead in battles or the opponent tries to disrupt our setups.

By asking any Edge Imp and Fluffal for its Fusion Summon, "Daredevil" has it very easy to be brought to the field right on time. With the mere use of "Frightfur Patchwork" we will obtain an Edge Imp along "Polymerization", with further assistance of "Toy Vendor" or "Fluffal Dog" to gather Fluffals. "Fluffal Owl" not only allow us to obtain "Polymerization", but also let us Fusion Summon "Daredevil" with its effect rather depending on other cards. Some cards and setups arround the Graveyard further eases the arrival of our Frightfurs ranging from "Edge Imp Sabres" revival effect, "Toy Vendor" once sent to the Graveyard by a disruptive effect or by an effect like "Foolish Burial Goods", or "Frightfur Fusion" directly using materials straight from our Graveyard. Although the build lost its swarm potential due the Extra Monster Zone we can still revive "Daredevil" afterwards if properly Fusion Summoned, so we can depend on cards like "Suture Rebirth" to bring back "Daredevil" despite losing its effects in the process.

The role of "Daredevil" on the board is pretty straightforward, with its effects becoming more lethal the later it comes to the field. With its 3000 ATK it can overcome many enemies on its own, making it very difficult to take down unless with support of other cards. That's where its Graveyard effect will come into action, as no matter if is defeated in battle or removed by non-destructive methods such as "Compusory Evacuation Device" of "Castel, the Skyblaster Musketeer" the opponent will lose Life Points in the process. But due the nature of this effect the defeat  of "Daredevil" won't be that dangerous until later turns, so simply focus on other Frightfurs as well dumping members like "Edge Imp Frightfuloid" from the Main Deck until "Daredevil" becomes very riskful to take down. In the meantime, "Daredevil" attacks will keep dealing solid damage to pressure the opponent to get rid of it, further encouraging fueling our Graveyard for that purpose.

"Frightfur Daredevil" is far from being a staple choice among its members, but has high potential to finish Duels no matter the outcomes arround it. By simply focusing on the rest of the archetype's Fusion Summons, "Daredevil" can be saved for the last turns to defeat the opponent by either its attacks or by its own defeat. Along a simple summon condition, "Daredevil" might not be an important Frightfur compared to others, but can lead the late game no matter the situation of the Duel.

Personal Rating: B+

+ Deals damage each time it defeats a monster in battle + Deals damage if destroyed or removed from the field by the opponent's attacks or effects + Very effective pressure in late game

Frightfur Patchwork ———————————————— Add 1 "Polymerization" and 1 "Edge Imp" monster from your Deck to your hand. You can only activate 1 "Frightfur Patchwork" per turn. ———————————————— Can Be Found In: Dimension Box Limited Edition (DBLE-JP022)

Searching effects are and have always been one of the best resources for any Deck capable to use them. Even if they have costy requeriments for their activation, obtaining a particular card without waiting to be drawn is a valuable ability that allow us to play our main goals as fast as possible. It really depends of the build we're working with, as while some searching effects have conditions to balance their potential others will just give all what the player needs without any drawbacks.

"Frightfur Patchwork" is a searching tool provided to a Deck consisting on three archetypes working as one to pull out Fusion Summons, and this Spell Card along can skip the majority of the process right from the start of the game. When used, "Frightfur Patchwork" allow us to obtain a "Polymerization" and any Edge Imp monster from the Deck to our hand, which by default is a powerful ability as give us two cards by the cost of one. Since the build mainly focuses on combining Fluffals with Edge Imps for their Fusion Summons, "Frightfur Patchwork" alone skips preparatives needed to obtain the main cards of their setups.

In a build mostly dependant of their Fusion Summons, all the outcomes arround "Frightfur Patchwork" are highly favorable for the user. To make things even more efficient, sending "Edge Imp Chain" to the Graveyard allow us to obtain "Patchwork" in return, giving us a good chance to perform consecutive Fusion Summons in a single turn. Almost all Frightfur monsters must be summoned by using a Fluffal and an Edge Imp monster together, and this Spell alone will let us get most of the tools needed for their arrival. Some Fusions like "Frightfur Tiger" and "Frightfur Leo" requires a very particular Edge Imp which "Patchwork" can quickly obtain for their arrival, while others such as "Frightfur Kraken" and "Frightfur Dare-Devil" can be brought with any Edge Imp we can get with this Spell Card. When it comes to Fluffals we don't need to worry much, as with the effects of members like "Fluffal Dog" and "Fluffal Octo" along the support of cards like "Fusion Conscription" we can fuel our hand with materials ready to use at any moment. Combine forces with Fluffals like "Fluffal Owl" and "Fluffal Cat", and there's a high chance to swarm the field with Fusion Summons by using their abilities along "Patchwork". Finally, if we're having problems gathering Fluffals or we want to diversify our Deck, we can use the obtained Edge Imp along other monsters to summon creatures like "Starving Venom Fusion Dragon" or "El Shaddoll Winda".

"Frightfur Patchwork" is undoubtly a powerful searcher for any Deck capable to add it to its card pool. Obtaining a key material for Frightfurs and "Polymerization" together, there's nothing much left to work with but the Fluffals we can use for the Fusion Summons. Combining forces with drawing effects and other searching tools to gather Fluffals, these archetypes now has an increased potential to spending entire hands for several Fusion Summons and recover immediately for its next setups. The only problem we have to worry about is in late game, as "Patchwork" only has three copies of "Polymerization" to look with and might become unusable once we run out of them inside our Deck. Besides that small risk, "Patchwork" is a must have for a build with high chances to quickly corner the opponent with consecutive Fusion Summons without many losses.

Personal Rating: A+

+ Obtains "Polymerization" along an Edge Imp monster from our Deck + Skips most of the process arround Fusion setups + Sinergy with the rest of its archetype to create consecutive Fusion Summons
