Xyz

"Xyz" (エクシーズ Ekushīzu) is an archetype of Spell and Trap Cards that support Xyz Monsters used by Yuma Tsukumo, Reginald Kastle, Gauche, IV, Syuta Hayami and Fortuno. They originally made their debut in Starter Deck 2011 and received their own first support in Return of the Duelist. Most Xyz cards have effects that either increase the ATK and DEF of the Xyz Monster, benefit the player if they control a Xyz Monster or can transform themselves into Xyz Materials for your Xyz Monsters. Most of these effects are only active if a Xyz Monster is on the field. The only support for the archetype, Generation Force, can only be activated if the player controls a Xyz Monster and is a very unique card among searchers, as it can only search Spell/Trap cards.
