Reptile

Reptile monsters were once one of the most overlooked and undersupported types, their only real use previously being Tribute fodder for "Ultra Evolution Pill". However, with the release of the "Alien" and "Venom" Archetypes, Reptiles have come into their own as a Type that focuses on controlling the opponent via the use of Counters. Because of this, Reptile-based decks and archetypes focus on tactics that reward patience and strategy over simplicity and brute force.

Reptiles gain no boost from any Field Spell Card; however, Aliens do get a helping hand from "Otherworld - The "A" Zone", while Venoms benefit from "Venom Swamp".

Archetypes include "Alien", "Venom", "Worm" and "Reptilianne" monsters, "Gagagigo", plus its transformations and the Attribute Reptiles, though Reptile-Type monsters are predominantly EARTH and WATER monsters.

The strongest Reptile monster is "Gogiga Gagagigo", at 2950 ATK. Other notable Reptiles are "Sinister Serpent", "Balloon Lizard", "Granadora", "Serpentine Princess", "Evil Dragon Ananta", "Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes" and "Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua".

Support cards include: "Snake Rain", "Snake Whistle", "Damage = Reptile", "Razor Lizard" and "Molting Escape"
