The Cards Resource

[puggsoy]

No offence, but this is starting to sound like Dota 2. There's a standard, efficient way to do things, if you don't do it that way you're losing the match for sure. I remember when you could just make a deck with whatever cards you wanted, as long as you have a reasonable amount of Spell/Trap cards and enough Level 4 or lower monsters, you could play a duel and have fun.

Archetypes are needed to fit each monster under a common label, and it used so certain decks cannot exploit the effects of other archetypes. Imagine how broken all the burn decks or deck outs would be if they had the power of defense decks.

Sorry, I'm not understanding this. "Burn decks"? "Deck outs"? "Defense decks"? Can you explain how would my deck suffer or break if I were to have no archetypes?
