Larvas (archetype)

Larvas is an archetype of EARTH Beast-Type Monster Cards in HCCG. It was originally created by Nexus Pro, and its members are included in Light Beginnings and Signal from the Depths.

The "Larvas" comprise a variety of cards whose effects all revolve around the TCG monster Larvas. This archetype is quite varied in representation, splitting focus on Ritual summoning, Synchro summoning, and Tribute Summoning. While some of the "Larvas" card effects support all "Larvas" monsters, others support only the monster Larvas. The goal of a "Larvas" deck is to summon the powerful Ritual monster Larvas the Conqueror of Ra and beat down the opponent with its effect. Being all EARTH and Beast-Type, they have access to standard EARTH support cards and Beast support cards in HCCG as well.

The following is a list of various "Larvas" deck strategies that could be used in the metagame.

Basic Larvas Deck
This deck revolves around swarming the field with "Larvas" monsters in order to Ritual Summon Larvas the Conqueror of Ra. It can also gain access to Synchro Monsters due to the Tuner status of Larvas duh Defooted.

Gliasco Larvas
This deck revolves around using the Ice Devil engine to Tribute Summon Larvas, Gold Wu-Guard, and allow for multiple Ritual Summons of Larvas the Conqueror of Ra.

Trivia

 * The idea for the "Larvas" archetype dates back from an old inside joke between Hippocampus and Nexus Pro before HCCG was founded, stating Larvas was a card that could supposedly defeat The Winged Dragon of Ra. The archetype was designed to be "the lolsiest thing ever" in terms of artwork and effects.
