Madolche

Madolce
"Madolce" (マドルチェ Madoruche) is an archetype of EARTH Attribute monsters. Their names appear to be a mix of royalty and French desserts and wines, for example "Puddingcess" is a mixture of "Pudding" and "Princess." Madolce is possibly based on "ma" and "dolce," the Italian words for "but/though" and "sweet." It could also be from combining "madou," which is Japanese for "magic/magical," and "dolce," Italian for "sweet." Also all of the Madolce monsters are standing on various sweets in the shape of a jigsaw piece.

Playing style
This archetype is focused on gaining benefits from having no monsters in your Graveyard. They accomplish this through shuffling themselves back into the Deck, or adding themselves to the player's hand when sent to the Graveyard.

Strengths

 * Since most of the time they don't have monsters in the Graveyard - "Guardian Eatos" can also be a good help, yet she can still fill your graveyard easily.


 * There is the possibility of increasing this power further using multiple copies of "Madolce Manner" and other more  general ATK boosters ("Milus Radiant", "Number 20: Giga-Brilliant", etc); possibly reaching ATKs as high as 3000 (realistically) and 4600 (ideally) for "Madolce Puddingcess" let alone the rest of the face up "Madolce" monsters.


 * Use "Genex Ally Birdman" with "Madolce Madeleine" or "Madolce Mille-feuille" to recycle them back to your hand. "Genex Ally Birdman" will be removed from play so it does not fill up your graveyard with monsters.


 * "Neo-Spacian Grand Mole" is good against Xyz and Synchro Monsters or for stalling. Use "Neo-Spacian Grand Mole" only for it's effect so that it does not fill up the graveyard.


 * "Stardust Dragon" can be good for negating effects since it special summons itself from the graveyard so that "Madolce Puddingcess" does not loose 800 ATK.


 * Because of the effect of "Madolce Butlerusk" to search out Field Spells, one might consider using Earthbound Immortals with Madolce cards.


 * Because they aren't counted as monsters while in the graveyard trap monsters may work well in the deck to tribute for "Madolce Puddingcess"

Weaknesses

 * "The End of Anubis" can severely hurt this archetype, as it can stop most of their support cards from returning monsters to the deck.


 * "Madolce" monsters also lack in attack power, with their strongest being "Madolce Puddingcess" at 2300 with no monsters in your graveyard and the field up.


 * "Transmigration Break" can also shut this deck down, as it keeps the monsters from returning to the deck.
