This is an archetype very heavily inspired by Puella Magi Madoka Magica, consisting mostly of female Spellcaster-Type monsters. They have a variety of different Attributes and effects, which is why it may at times be better to use only some of them in a deck focused around them, but one thing they have in common is their capability for Synchro Summoning. At the moment, the only attribute they lack is WIND, so they have the potential for use in many deck types.

Anyway, I won't go on too long of a rant here without showing you the cards first. Without further delay, here's what I've got so far.

The main play of this deck is using Mashou Breeder to summon a Mashou in MP1, conducting Battle Phase, then bringing the Breeder back to Synchro that Mashou's Synchro equivalent. There are also plenty of potential ways to make use of Striker and Defender, possibly in a deck dedicated just to those two, since they can make full use of both Warrior and Spellcaster support while on the field. This includes equips, so they can become a pretty big threat with the right combo. The Sorrowitch archetype is another archetype connected to this one that revolves around using the Mashou for DARK Xyz Monsters instead of Synchro Monsters, which I will also be posting soon enough. Sorrowitch is where False Mashou Breeder shines a bit more, though False still has its uses in a normal Mashou deck should you not have a normal one to use for tuning.

Bump, since I updated. A few card changes, but mainly added some more cards. Still nobody wanting to comment on these?

It isn't that no one is commenting, I'd say it is more like no one is bothering for some reason when they normally do. O_o Will have to read over a few later when able.
