Amazoness

Facing an Amazoness deck, an opponent often finds their monsters systematically removed from the field while their own Battle Phase is turned against them. Amazoness Onslaught is the engine that makes this possible: it Special Summons an Amazoness monster during the Battle Phase and then banishes any opposing monster that battles an Amazoness, bypassing destruction immunity entirely. Combined with Amazoness Queen's blanket protection against battle destruction, the deck's monsters clash freely and repeatedly without fear of being traded away, creating a suffocating loop where the opponent loses resources every time they attack or are attacked.

The setup typically begins with Amazoness Princess, whose summon searches any Amazoness Spell or Trap — most commonly Amazoness Onslaught itself — and then recruits a second Amazoness from the Deck when she attacks. Amazoness War Chief extends the board further by setting Onslaught or a Polymerization directly from the Deck upon summon, and can be Special Summoned from the hand without any Normal Summon spent, making it straightforward to assemble multiple bodies quickly. Amazoness Call adds another layer of consistency by fetching any Amazoness card and later enabling a single monster to sweep through an entire field in one Battle Phase.

The Fusion monsters provide a ceiling that pure battle locking cannot. Amazoness Empress grants piercing damage and replaces itself with Amazoness Queen if destroyed, while Amazoness Augusta, summoned through Amazoness Secret Arts, shuts off targeting and destruction effects aimed at the rest of the board and recruits another Amazoness from the Deck on arrival, giving the archetype a genuine closing threat to complement its grinding attrition plan.
