Category:Archetype: Sufficiently Advanced

"Sufficiently Advanced" is an archetype of Machine Monsters and mostly Spell card support. The aces of the archetype are Ritual monsters, with only a few of the monsters that support the ritual monsters being "Sufficiently Advanced" themselves. They are based on the formulation of what is known as Clarke's Third Law (or sometimes just Clarke's Law, as it is the most famous), that "Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

The monsters are based on the notable Spellcasters in all of Yu-Gi-Oh!, from Dark Magician to Time Wizard to Relinquished to Thousand Eyes Restrict to Dark Paladin to T.G. Cyber Magician to T.G. Hyper Librarian to all the pendulum magicians.

"Magichine" and "Advanced M." are archetypes that intersect with this one. Advanced M" is a diverse archetype, the usual abbreviation usually but not always standing for "Advanced Magician" or "Advanced Machine". Some monsters combine the two archetypes, or all three, Advanced Magichine or "Sufficiently Advanced Magichine.
