DesignEdit

The archetype primarily consists of monstrous, corrupted versions of "White Forest" characters, seemingly under the influence of "Queen Azamina".

EtymologyEdit

As shown by the Japanese name of "The Hallowed Azamina", "Azamina" is derived from the Japanese word 「薊花」 (azamibana, "thistle flower"). Fittingly, prickled plants are prominently depicted emerging from the body of every monster and in the foreground of most of cards in the archetype.

PlaystyleEdit

"Azamina" is a Fusion-based archetype closely tied to the "Sinful Spoils" archetype. Generally, the archetype Summons its Fusion Monsters by using "Sinful Spoils" cards in place of materials (1 card for every 4 levels the Fusion has, rounded down), though "Elzette, Azamina of the White Forest" can perform a Fusion Summon with the regular procedure.

As an engineEdit

The archetype can be played as a small engine - consisting of "Deception of the Sinful Spoils", "The Hallowed Azamina", and "Azamina Ilia Silvia" - in order to get " Ilia Silvia's" omni-negate in 1 summon. "Diabellstar the Black Witch" and "WANTED: Seeker of Sinful Spoils" act as ways to search "Deception" and can be run as needed.

If playing another "Sinful Spoils"-related archetype, "Azamina Mu Rcielago" should also be run as a way to search any "Sinful Spoils" card. Summon "Mu Rcielago" first, then shuffle it from field/GY with "The Hallowed Azamina's" GY effect to use it again.
