NEXUS

Executive Summary

The Chronomaly archetype, whose name is a portmanteau of "chronology" and "anomaly," is an Xyz-based strategy focused on "chronological anomalies." Its original OCG name, "OOPArts," is an acronym for "Out-of-Place Artifacts"?a term for objects that shouldn't exist given the technology of their era. This theme is central to the deck's identity, which focuses on rapid "rank-up" plays to summon powerful, high-rank bosses like Number C6: Chronomaly Chaos Atlandis, all inspired by these mysterious artifacts from across history.

Foundational Mechanics: The Ancient Technology

Level Modulation

The archetype's key mechanic involves changing the levels of your monsters on the field, allowing you to easily summon Xyz monsters of various ranks, especially Rank 5 and 6, from your Level 3 and 4 monsters.

Rank Acceleration

Through powerful trap cards like Chronomaly Esperanza Glyph, the deck can use an existing Xyz monster to summon an even more powerful one, quickly climbing the ranks to your ultimate boss monsters.
