Kerykeion wants to sell snake oil or something I guess?

LIGHT Spellcaster / Effect
Lv 4 1600/1550
You can only use this card name’s (1) and (2) effects once per turn each.
(1) If you control a “Constellar” monster other than “Constellar Caduceus”: You can Special Summon this card from your hand.
(2) During your Main Phase: You can add 1 “Constellar” Spell/Trap from your Deck to your hand.
(3) A “Constellar” Xyz Monster that has this card as material gains this effect.
● If this card battles a LIGHT or DARK monster, before damage calculation: You can banish that monster.

Note: the Caduceus (called Kerykeion in Greek) is the cane with two intertwined snakes and wings that is used as symbol of medicine in America, despite being associated with the god Hermes/Mercury and trading. This is because it is easily confused with the Rod of Asclepius, the real symbol of healing which has only one snake and no wings. Asclepius was a mythological doctor of great skill, and the Romans saw him as the man representing the Ophiuchus constellation.
