Introduction
"Majespecter" (マジェスペクター Majesupekutā) is an archetype of WIND Spellcaster-Type monsters debuting in Dimension of Chaos.
The "Dracoslayer" archetype hints at a relation between this archetype and "Igknights". Both are full-Pendulum archetypes containing a "Dracoslayer" monster (which appears to be a merging of one of its archetype members with another mystic creature) and Field Spell Cards portraying the surging of those monsters, both "Dracoslayer" monster and Field Spell Card containing a word with "P", written as "P" with a Furigana, just like how "Pendulum" is written "P" with the Furigana "Pendyuramu". In addition, while the "Igknight" archetype consists of Normal Monsters (no monster effect) that all have Pendulum effects, the "Majespecter" archetype consists of effect (all with effects) monsters with no Pendulum effects.

Playing style
This archetype contains only Pendulum Monsters with no Pendulum Effect, whose monster effect makes it so that they cannot be targeted by or destroyed by an opponent's card effects. The Spells and Traps rely on Tributing your monsters to limit the opponent's field presence, variably banishing their cards, destroying them, or shuffling them into the Deck, while the Tributed monsters can easily be Pendulum Summoned again. Most "Majespecter" monsters also can search for more "Majespecter" cards, helping regain advantage after Tributing the monsters.
Weeknesses
Although the Deck can easily search most of their tools and have innate protection against card effects, "Majespecters" themselves have low stats, making them vulnerable towards opponents that can swarm with stronger monsters. As a Pendulum-oriented Deck, they suffer greatly if their scales are destroyed and are unable to re-set the scales (but do note: destroying their scales at the wrong time can allow your opponent to Pendulum Summon them right back, effectively wasting the resource you used to destroy the scale(s)).
The deck is also heavily reliant on adding cards from the Deck to the hand, as almost every "Majespecter" monster allows the player to search their Deck upon being Summoned. Using "Mistake" or "Thunder King Rai-Oh" will stop all effects that add cards from the Deck to the hand outside of drawing them, thus rendering those effects useless
