hope i done a good job

now say what do you say to this?
 
most of this is basic Archfiend information, though you should be able to find plenty of English references, if it makes it easier for you. (Depending on what your native tongue is, of course)

About the only thing I really want to point out is that Mazera DeVille is not an Archfiend. Its summoning and effect requires the presence of the Archfiend field card, Pandemonium, true. But its Japanese name never contained the title of "Demon". Therefore it is not a legal monster for trying to summon Terrorking or activate Falling Down.


This is an expansive topic too. If I might suggest, there is an article on Archfiends at the YugiohRealms site. Go to the articles section and search under the author: waldo10032. That should start you off with many avenues of discussion. You can also contact several people on this site who are fairly adept in the strategies on Archfiends: Dillie-O, Dark Magic User, and desolutionist are 3 with whom I am most familiar, though they are by no means the only ones.

oh! and dont forget to add the fusion monster Fiend Skull Dragon and Black Skull Dragon to the list of Archfiend cards. As well as Axe of Despair, Shadow Tamer and Beast of Talwar. *scratches head* If I forgot any myself, the complete list can be found at the yu gi oh official site.
 
The designation that they used in Japanese ("Demon", I believe) was used on cards like Axe (Demon Axe, or something like that) and a few other cards. Only later on did they decide to do a thematic with cards with this word in their name. But by that time, they had already released cards in the English TCG and they hadn't translated the word "demon" with any consistency. But to keep some semblance of universal rulings, they started translating the word to "Archfiend" and backpedalling and designating the old cards we already had as such too.
 
Axe of Despair is an Archfiend card. Digital Jedi is correct for any card that includes Demon in its card name is any Archfiend.
Here are my classes are Archfiends:

Pandemonium Chess Piece Archfiends
Revolve around Mazera Deville and Terrorking Archfiend/Desrook Archfiend and Field Spell Pandemonium
Marauding Captain is shown on Battle-Scarred and is the best card to summon Terrorking)
All other Chess Piece Archfiends are very nice to use,especially Vilepawn Archfiend.
In addition to that Mazera Deville and Maruading are searchable by Reinforcement of the Army and The Warrior Returning Alive.
Frozen Soul (looks a lot like Maiku, and works well if your life points are low due to payment of Chess Piece Archfiends)
Altar for Tribute (show Gagagigo and background Archfiend's shows part of the same flames in Archfiend's Roar as well as the bone portions being Terrorking's lower portion of his body)


Normal Archfiends
Archfiend Soldier
Beast of Talwar

Equip Archfiends
-Warrior Dai Grepher
-Maha Vailo
-Archfiend of Gilfar
-Axe of Despair
-Falling Down (shows Archfiend version of Warrior Dai Grepher on card)
-Sakuretsu Armor (same as Falling Down, but he is covered with white armored shards)
-The A. Forces (shows Fiend Skull Dragon on background)-Thanks machinefreak!
e.g) I would often use Gilfar or Axe of Despair and then take control of monsters with Falling Down and clear the field for direct attacks)
It would not suprise me if Falling Down or Sakuretsu Armor were restricted in the future.


Archfiend Dragon I
REBD Deck
Summoned Skull
Maiku
B. Skull Dragon

Archfiend Dragon II
Dragon Deck maybe?
-Cave Dragon (good discard bait for Spirit Ryu's effect along with Rare Metal Dragon, which is easily special summoned by Hidden Soldiers or Familiar Knight)
Lesser Fiend
-Fiend Skull Dragon (has a similar effect to Tyrant Dragon)-Fusion of Spirit Ryu
-Burst Breath (works in any Dragon Deck, but shows it Fiend Skull Dragon on card)
In addition Warrior Dai Grepher fuses with Spirit Ryu to become Ryu Senshi.
-Super Rejuvenation (shows Cave Dragon on Card and works with effects of Spirit Ryu, Burst Breath, as well Tyrant Dragon's reborn ability cost)

Anyone starting to see a connection.
