"'''Malefic'''", known as "'''Sin'''" ({{Ruby|Ｓｉｎ|シン}} ''Shin'') in the ''[[OCG]]'', is an [[archetype]] of cards which were introduced in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D Bonds Beyond Time]]'' movie, in which they are used by [[Paradox]].

The "Malefic" monsters are are all [[DARK]] [[Dragon]]- or [[Machine]]-[[Type]] monsters. Most of them are corrupted versions of the [[signature card]]s of characters from the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'', ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'', and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' anime; in particular, they are corrupted versions of dragons or mechanical dragons.

Paradox claims that they are the most powerful cards in history, due to the fact that they are not bound to [[Normal Summon]]ing rules.

In the movie, "Malefic" monsters were much more flexible than their ''OCG''/''TCG'' cards; multiple "Malefic" monsters could exist on the field at once, they did not impose attack restrictions on their controller and the original monsters were sent to the [[Graveyard]] (instead of being [[banish]]ed), thus allowing Paradox to easily and constantly swarm the field with his powerful monsters. "Malefic" monsters also have the effects of their original counterparts, making them much versatile.

59
The Japanese name for this archetype, "Sin", is meant as a pun on the words for "truth" ("shin") and "sin" ("tsumi"), alluding to the truth of human nature as seen by Paradox—that humanity's errors have led to the world's destruction.

The English name "Malefic" means "having or asserting a negative influence", referring to how these cards are corrupted versions of existing cards.

"Malefic" is an [[aggro]]-[[beatdown]] archetype, relying on high-[[ATK]] DARK monsters that were relatively easy to summon. Each "Malefic" monster based on existing Dragon has the following effects:

* Must be, or must first be, Special Summoned by banishing the corresponding monster from the hand / Deck / Extra Deck.
98

* There can only be one "Malefic" monster on field.

* If there is no face-up Field Spell on either field, destroy this card.

The key monsters of the original line-up were "[[Malefic Stardust Dragon]]", which protects Field Spells from destruction, and "[[Malefic Cyber End Dragon]]", the highest ATK monster with the regular summoning condition. Both were also the only monsters that could banish from the [[Extra Deck]], thus avoiding having to run a Main Deck [[garnet]]. "[[Malefic World]]" is an in-archetype field spell that can replace the [[normal draw]] with a search for 1 of 3 random "Malefic" cards. Their boss monsters, "[[Malefic Truth Dragon]]" and "[[Malefic Paradox Dragon]]", have related restrictions (both are destroyed without a field spell / "Malefic World", respectively, "Truth Dragon" has the "only one monster" restriction) but with differing summon conditions and stronger ATK / effects.

The key monsters of the original line-up were "[[Malefic Stardust Dragon]]", which protects Field Spells from destruction, and "[[Malefic Cyber End Dragon]]", the highest ATK monster that required banishing an [[Extra Deck]] monster (meaning no [[Main Deck]] [[garnet]] needed to be run). The boss monsters include "[[Malefic Truth Dragon]]" and "[[Malefic Paradox Dragon]]", which had different summoning conditions and restrictions than the above list. "[[Malefic World]]", the in-archetype field spell, can replace the [[normal draw]] with a search for 1 of 3 "Malefic" cards, chosen randomly.

In the modern game, getting a single high ATK beatstick is no longer impressive. Newer support cards, released mostly in ''[[Duel Overload]]'', focus on negating the downsides of the original "Malefic" monsters, making it easier to swarm the field.

108
* The most important piece of support is "[[Malefic Territory]]". It searches a Field Spell ("[[Malefic World]]"), protects Field Spells from targeted effects, replaces the "There can only be one "Malefic" monster" condition to a less restrictive one, and negates "Malefic" monsters in the Battle Phase (allowing other monsters to attack).
106
109
* "[[Malefic Paradox Gear]]", if a Field Spell is on field, can Tribute itself to Summon "[[Malefic Parallel Gear]]" from Deck and search a "Malefic" monster, enabling the immediate summon of "[[Malefic Paradox Dragon|Paradox Dragon]]".

* "[[Malefic Paradigm Dragon]]" can banish a "Malefic" monster from Extra Deck to summon itself. It can send a "Malefic" from Deck to GY as [[cost]] to return a banished Level 8 Synchro monster to the Extra Deck, then summon it.

* "[[Malefic Selector]]" can banish 2 "Malefic" cards to search 2 different "Malefic" cards with different names from each other and the banished cards.
