>>97818127>TCaCDominus Emperor>[Normal Trap Card]You can activate this card the turn that it is Set. Declare 1 Attribute; Special Summon this card as an Effect Monster (Fiend/Level 8/ATK 3000/DEF 0)(this card is NOT treated as a Trap), and if you do, this card's Attribute becomes that declared Attribute. You can banish 1 monster from your GY, face-down, whose Level is less than or equal to 8; this monster's name and Level becomes that monster's original name and Level, and replace this effect with that monster's original effects, also for the rest of this Duel, you cannot activate the effects of monsters with that same name, unless their original name is "Dominus Emperor". You can only use each effect of "Dominus Emperor" once per turn.I can't make a full archetype around it, so I just made one boss monster for it instead. The basic idea is that it plays around the Dominus series' Attribute locks (you can just declare DIVINE if you don't want to use one that isn't covered) and also lets you use SOME monsters' effects while potentially under every Dominus lock by means of effect duping. I know that effect duping is dangerous, but on top of Konami generally not giving a shit about how broken their own cards are, I feel like I gave it a pretty sufficient level of restrictions (no Xyz/Links, no high-level monsters, the level is also duped which slightly reduces FTK potential, that card is fully unable to be used unless Dominus Emperor is using it).
>>97818383Perhaps a more reasonable versionDominus Emperor>[Level 8/DARK/Fiend]>[ATK 3000/DEF 0]Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned by the following effect. If a "Dominus" card has been activated during this turn, or the previous turn, you can Special Summon this card from your hand, and if you do, you can make this card's Attribute become any Attribute of your choice. You can only Special Summon "Dominus Emperor" once per turn this way. You can target monsters on the field, up to the number of "Dominus" cards in your GY: Those monsters' Attributes become this monsters' Attribute. You can only use this effect of "Dominus Emperor" once per turn.Same intent, less dangerous (no effect duping)
>TQRA05 must flop to teach Konami a lesson (again)
