Executive Summary

The Nemleria archetype introduces a subversive strategy that treats the Extra Deck not as a toolbox, but as a consumable resource. The core game plan is to systematically banish all 15 cards from your Extra Deck face-down to fuel powerful effects and ultimately summon the deck's devastating boss monster, Dreaming Nemleria. This unique mechanic creates a control-oriented, go-second playstyle that aims to survive the opponent's initial turn and then dismantle their board in a single, decisive move. This is the place where all your sweet dreams can come true.

The Cast of the Dream

The Dreamers: Core Monsters

Dreaming Nemleria

The heart of the archetype. Its Pendulum Effect starts the engine by placing "Dream Tower," and its Monster Effect acts as the ultimate win condition, banishing opponent's cards.

Nemleria Dream Defender - Oreiller & Couette

The Level 10 Beast guardians. They Special Summon themselves easily and provide offensive power (Oreiller) and targeted protection (Couette) by banishing cards from the Extra Deck.

Nemleria Dream Devourer - Reveil

A crucial extender that summons itself by banishing 3 cards from the Extra Deck, and then sets a "Nemleria" Trap by sending another Beast to the GY.

The Dreamscape: Spells & Traps

Dream Tower of Princess Nemleria

The primary engine. It banishes from the Extra Deck to search your Level 10 Beast monsters, fueling your hand and thinning the Extra Deck.

Sweet Dreams, Nemleria

The monster searcher that finds any "Nemleria" and protects their summons from being negated, ensuring your plays resolve.

Nemleria Repeter

The main interruption. This trap can negate the effects of all face-up monsters your opponent controls for a turn, a powerful board-wiping effect.

Missing: 70155677
  • Dreaming Nemleria (0 ATK): On summon, its effect triggers.
  • Mass Banish: For every 3 face-down banished cards, banish 1 card your opponent controls or is in their GY, face-down (non-targeting).
  • OTK Potential: With the opponent's board cleared, a high-ATK monster like Gren Maju Da Eiza can attack for game.

Strategic Outlook

Strengths

  • Potent Board-Breaking: Dreaming Nemleria offers one of the strongest non-targeting removal effects in the game.
  • Unique Resource Axis: Many opponents are unprepared for a strategy that benefits from an empty Extra Deck.
  • Resilience to Maxx "C": The deck performs very few Special Summons on its setup turn, making it less vulnerable to this powerful hand trap.

Weaknesses

  • Choke Points: Highly vulnerable to hand traps like Ash Blossom on its key searchers (Dream Tower, Sweet Dreams).
  • Passive Turn 1: The pure version establishes a very weak board that often struggles to survive against aggressive meta decks.
  • Inconsistency: Requires specific opening hands to execute its game plan and can be prone to "bricking."
