Mantis

Mantis is an archetype in HCCG.

It is actually not a deck type on its own, but it is broken up into two smaller, more coherent archetypes: Holy Mantis and Dark Mantis. It is very rare to see functional "Mantis" decks, as "Holy Mantis" and "Dark Mantis" have very different play styles and strategies. The reason "Mantis" exists separately is because of the card Mantis Welcomer, who not only has an effect that modifies both "Holy Mantis" and "Dark Mantis" monsters, but also is a member of this archetype but not of either "Holy Mantis" or "Dark Mantis".
