So there's this new archetype that will soon be released called Madolche. Its members are based off of French royalty AND French desserts and wines. It is one of the cutest set of cards ever released by Yu-Gi-Oh!
All of the monsters share one effect:
"When this card is destroyed by your opponent and sent to the Graveyard: Shuffle it into the Deck."
Sounds pretty nifty, eh? The best part of this archetype is their boss monster, Madolche Puddingcess. She is also one of the biggest downfalls. In order to Normal Summon her, you must sacrifice on of your own monsters. Since your monster isn't destroyed by your opponent in this way, many of the other Madolche effects get negated, since they rely on no monster being in your Graveyard. However, there are cards to help with this. Madolche comes with its own field spell card, which is my personal favorite card of the set, called Madolche Chateau. This card is amazing. Not only that, but when Madolche Butlerusk is normal summoned, you can search out Madolche Chateau from your deck and add it to your hand, giving you instant access to Chateau's effect, which is to remove all Madolche monsters from the graveyard and add them to your deck, raise the Attack and Defense of all madolche monsters by 500, and then, any Madolche that is destroyed by your opponent is then sent to your hand, instead of the deck. Epiiic.

However, it has many counters. MANY. RabbitDino decks are pretty common, and Madolche has almost nothing to prevent it, other than Imperial Iron Wall. However, from how it's handled, this deck can be very anti-meta. Shadow/Light Imprisoning mirror, Imperial iron wall, Fiendish Chain, Safe Zone, this deck can hold all of these card since the Archetype itself relies on its own effects to succeed in a duel.
