Amorphage

"Amorphage" (アモルファージ Amorufāji) is an archetype of EARTH Dragon-Type Pendulum Monsters set to debut in Shining Victories. They appear to have a connection to the "Dracoslayer" archetype, alongside the "Igknight", "Majespecter", and "Dinomist" archetypes.

Design
The "Amorphage" monsters appear as normal animals that are mutating into draconic monstrosities. There is a protrusion seen on the bodies of each revealed monster in the archetype so far, which resembles the body of a T4 virus. Said protrusion also appears to adorn the staff carried by "Vector Pendulum, the Dracoverlord", who is also related to the "Dracoslayer" archetype. Thus the archetype may disclose the so called "Dragon Alchemy" employed by "Vector Pendulum" to create his minions.

Etymology
"Amorphage" appears to be a portmanteau of "amorphous" and "bacteriophage".

Strategy
The "Amorphage" monsters revealed so far suggest a disruption strategy, as their monster effects revolve around restricting the player from Special Summoning any monsters from the Extra Deck save for other "Amorphages". Their Pendulum effects require a monster to be Tributed during their controller's Standby Phase, or else they are destroyed. From there the effects become much more varied, but still disrupt the field in many ways, whether preventing effects in a chain, restricting players from Tributing monsters, or banishing cards sent to the Graveyard.
