Curse Monster

Curse is a new monster type for the ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters'' card game created by LHK. These monsters represent corrupted forms of monsters, hence they use the same frame as the "pure" form, covered with black spots in places, as part of corruption. Said black spots are turned green in Curse Xyz Monster.

Curse Monsters, like Pendulum Monsters, can exist either in the Main Deck and in the Extra Deck (depending on the monster, for example if it is a Curse Xyz Monster, it goes to the Extra Deck) and for their Summon, they need a monster of the same indicator and value as themselves. The Material is sent to the GY and you Curse Summon that monster to your field from your hand (in the case of an Effect, Ritual, etc. Curse Monster) or Extra Deck (in the case of a Fusion, Synchro, etc. Curse Monster). A Curse Summon is considered as a proper Special Summon of the mechanic of its Material, meaning that a Curse Summon of a Ritual or a Synchro Monster is considered as both a Curse and a Synchro Summon.

Traits

 * Curse Monsters cannot be used as Materials for their own Summon.
 * Curse Monsters, like Enhance Monsters, have effects that activate if a specific monster is used for its Curse Summon.

Examples

 * Black Rose Dragon «DEATH PETAL»

Rulings

 * If an Xyz Cursed monster is Cursed Summoned, does its material become an Xyz Material? Yes.

Trivia

 * This is LHK's mechanic that aims towards antagonists of a series, and meant to be treated as such.
