Snake Syndrome

The "Snake Syndrome" Archetype consists of DARK Reptile-Type monsters and are based of the real card "".

Playing Style
All "Snake Syndrome" monsters revolve around either supporting "" or stalling. As all "Snake Syndrome" monsters are very weak in terms of ATK and DEF they use swarming tactics rather than stalling. The only exceptions here are "Russel's Viper" and "Inland Taipin", with the first being indestructible by battle and the second being a late-game finisher, in case that "" fails.

The Spell Cards revolve either around keeping "" in play or, more important, protecting you from taking damage due to it's effect yourself.

It starts with "Getting Bitten", where the man is shown to be bitten by "Snake Syndrome - Black Mamba". On "No Remedy" the man in told by "Mad Doctor" that the "" is uncureable. At that point the infection goes up to his ankle. In the Artwork of "Pathogen Shot", "Mad Doctor" is seen injecting the man the "Forged Antidote", weakening him. In "Confusion Of The Mind", the man is seen with a disorientated look on his face, injecting himself a "Second Antidote" with an empty syringe "First Antidote" lying on the floor. At that point the infection goes up te his stomach. After that had given him a short period of healtyness, he suffers a "Reversion", the infection now going up onto his chest. In the Artwork of "Weakening Of The Body" he is seen lying on the floor, with empty syringes "First Antidote" and "Second Antidote" lying next to him, trying to reach the "Last Antidote" that is lying on a table.

Then, in "Immunity", "Mad Doctor" is seen watching the scene from "Weakening Of The Body", injecting himself a "Perfect Antidote".
