Genesis

The "Genesis" archetype is a collection of Plant-type monsters used by Sarah Shokaku in the Yu-gi-oh! Star Saga! manga. The "Genesis" archetype is a series of monsters with 0 ATK and 0 DEF who gain attack equal to the number of "Genesis" monsters in the Graveyard. They are based off of plants in the Garden of Eden, the strongest of which is "Genesis, Tree of Life.

Play Style
Consisting of monsters with 0 ATK and 0 DEF, the deck has a fairly weak starting advantage. Because they need monsters in the graveyard to power themselves up, the deck has a large collection of cards to mill their deck and put their monsters into the graveyard.

The deck focuses on a fairly simple stun strategy while putting their monsters in the graveyard to switch into a beatdown strategy. Due to the need to have monsters in the graveyard to make themselves stronger and to activate their effects, the deck needs to have a steady supply of "Genesis" monsters in the graveyard. They succeed in doing this by using cards such as "Genesis Regrowth" and "Genesis Serpent" to send monsters from their deck to the graveyard. To protect their cards, they use cards like "Genesis Thorns" to prevent your opponent from doing anything till the deck gets rolling.

Since the deck has powerful revival abilities in the plant engine, the deck can also quickly swarm with their large amount of syncros and Exceed monsters. It also has the power to quickly make EXO monster and their most powerful monster "Genesis, Tree of Life"

Strengths
Due to the ability to become very big quickly, the deck can easily counter swarm tactics with their own big monsters. The deck also operates very quickly since they mill their own cards and using common plant support cards, revive their cards from the graveyard. The "Genesis" archetype can can easily counter current strategies using their stun tactics so they are often classifyed as an Anti-Meta archetype.

The deck also utilizes the plant engine to its fullest and makes quick syncro summons and Exceeds. Due to this it easily on par with current meta decks.

Weaknesses
Due to the need to have monsters in their graveyard to power themselves up, The deck suffers from an extreme weakness to RFP decks and from 'Gravekeepers. It also has a hard for the deck to counter some meta decks like "The Six Samurai" and "Freedom Fighters" which make quick field presence, preventing the deck from setting up its combos.
