Ulala (archetype)



Ulala is a archetype of Reptile-Type monsters. The Ulalas are the mascots who debuted in 2013 Chinese New Year Eve.

The cards of this archetype relies on Special Summoning, so they can easily be Summoned and swarming the field. They are geared towards Summoning "Ulala Prince".

Ulala Prince gain ATK for each Reptile-Type monster in the Graveyard. The strongest monster in this archetype, "Ulala's Divine Serpent"  gives an alternate win condition via its Tangerine Counters.

Playing Styles
The Deck focuses on swarming the field with the "Ulala" monsters and Summoning "Ulala Prince " or "Ulala's Divine Serpent". Since the ATK of "Ulala Prince" are dependent on the number of Reptiles in your Graveyard, cards like "Foolish Burial" and "Snake Rain" are important in this Deck. Also, there are not many "Ulala" monsters, so a hybrid with other Decks is inevitable.

"Ulala" is able to quickly swarming the field. In addition, the ace card of this Deck, "Ulala's Divine Serpent", is almost invincible since it cannot be destroyed by any means except by battle, and can only leave the field by Tributing it with cards like "Volcanic Queen" and "Lava Golem", though even this can be countered with "King Fog" or "Mask of Restrict".

The main weakness of the "Ulala" Deck, however, is the low ATK points of most "Ulala" monsters. This means that your opponent can easily just Summon a monster to destroy your Venom monster, cards like "Pinky Ulala" and "Negate Attack" are essential to this Deck.

Another weakness of this Deck is "Zombie World". This card should make the ATK of "Ulala's Divine Serpent" 0, plus when destroyed there would be no Reptile monsters to banish for bringing her back.".
