Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts.
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
While the original Greek appears to have been:
Ἅγιος, ἅγιος, ἅγιος Κύριος Σαβαώθ·
πλήρης ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ἡ γῆ τῆς δόξης σου,
ὡσαννὰ ἐν τοῖς ὑψίστοις.
Εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου.
Ὡσαννὰ ὁ ἐν τοῖς ὑψίστοις.
It is sung at the end of the Preface of the Eucharistic Prayer of remembrance, consecration and praise.
As far as puns go:
“Sanctus is Latin for “holy”, a few “sansei” include that meaning “approval/support” and that meaning “production”, the kanji here are “praise” and “holy”

In paradisum deducant te angeli; in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres, et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Jerusalem. Chorus angelorum te suscipiat, et cum Lazaro quondam paupere æternam habeas requiem.
“May the angels lead you into paradise; may the martyrs receive you at your arrival and lead you to the holy city Jerusalem. May choirs of angels receive you and with Lazarus, once (a) poor (man), may you have eternal rest.”
The Antiphon is often sung in procession on the way from the final blessing of the deceased in the church to the grave where they shall be buried.

Is that despair of the dark on Fiendsmith Sequentia?
Him or fear from the dark. Nice cameo I remember DFTD used in side decks back in the day.
Its fear from the dark, and i’m counting this as the “from the dark” archtype we needed
100% gonna support magical muskets, they finally have a turn one play
This might actually be good Vaalmonica support.
Finally the age of fabled has come!!!! REJOICE!!!
Magical Musketeer indirectly getting supported is fun.
FINALLY GOT THE NEEDED CARD: LIGHT FIEND ROTA! LESSSGOOOOO!
Thanks for this. These are so cool.
I find this archetype to be quite odd, both mechanically and story wise.
I mean Konami has been doing this game for more than 25 years. What more can they do with the concept of archtypes and their playstyle/lore.
Konami is throwing everything on the wall to see what sticks after Visas Starfrost failed to deliver. Hence archetypes like these, defined by a single protagonist.
Visas Starfrost failed to deliver? We got Tearlament/Kashtira out of them, what more do you want? They can’t all be Branded epics.
I mean diablestar is based on Bayonetta so it’s only natural we got a DMC archetype.
Hispanic things.
We were meant to get six Broken World archetypes, one for each summoning method, and we only got four. Broken Worlds 2 and 3 are still missing. Veda is also supposed to be an archetype but it was quickly abandoned.
Ritual Visa Starfrost when ?
Makes me think of Devil May Cry. Dante especially.
MM, Vaalmonica, Fabled.
What other Light-Fiend decks this archtype can support?
Magic Muskets
wait that’s what MM stands for, uh…….i dunno
Noble phantasms could except some are earth (attribute) not just light and they’re fiends too. Could make orchestra duels at least in ccg relevant again.
Oh and do I smell new dueling format this Dante inferno/ satanist wanna be ygo card is cooking? Ah 🐳 bring it on!
where is the “ITS TRASH” guy? weird that i dont see someone saying that of an archetype that just came out and is SURELY AND OBVIOUSLY not done yet
It’s trash 🙂
because they finally found a way to search santa claws
This is especially good for Fabled.
This is not an archetype! This is a full engine for a LIGHT Fiend Deck.
I dropped the game during Xyz… After so many years, archetypes, formats and mechanics…
This may be it…
This redhead demonboi Red-Riot-wannabe sexualized bara eye candy, in a sea of lolis, dragons and loli dragons, is what may finally bring me back to YGO…
He WILL get a demon loli sidekick in second wave.
Or demon dragon sidekick…
or demon dragon loli sidekick…
Nice to see an archetype centered around a cool dude without one hundred billion waifus in the rearview.
Looking like characters from Guilty Gear
Tractcus looks fun in DW/Fabled hybrids
Devil May Cry x God Eater.
looks cool atleast. could also be fun.
Devil May Cry meets Blazblue?
Beatrice ban. Finally ?
Guys awake, Fabled/Magical Musket getting support
Deck/Extra Deck does it mean we can’t no longer shuffle extra deck monsters with card like Unicorn
You can still return or shuffle a Fusion/Synchro/Xyz/Link Monster from the field, GY or banishment to the Extra Deck, it is not necessary to shuffle your Extra Deck (since you can always view said deck’s face-down cards at any time).
It looks like Konami is giving up on making a new theme and going straightforward to making engines. An engine? Yes, because the new good engine cards that were supposed to support an old theme have no restrictions whatsoever.
If cards specified you can shuffle Monsters in the Deck or Extra Deck (not just Deck), it’s mean you can put a Pendulum Monster to graveyard in the Extra Deck ?
no bro lmfao shuffling is for face down decks only
Already Tier 1. These cards are nuts.
So the art is basically Gungrave and DMC, Fiendsmith is Dante, the coffin is well, Gungrave’s cross
Thanks for the Gungrave shout out, I was thinking the same thing.
Because we needed a way to search majesty’s fiend
This could work well with Magical Musketeer or Fabled. Time to cook!
Thank you konami… after years of increasingly generic waifus everywhere, you listened to my prayers and started delivering some beautiful husbandos
As a greek guy, I have to clarify that the hymn also exists in Orthodox liturgy. Light Fairy Fusion monsters let’s go !!!
*Light Fiend Fusion, sorry
I wonder if there is an actual connection to samctuary in the sky lore.
Like. Seems to be based on the spell the setting might be post apocalypse.
Support for Light fiend? Next we need support for Dark fairy
me when i limit my link 1
please be some non-light fiend support in set as well
Doom Himbo.
Ugh, generic husbando
yo is that my bro Despair from the Dark?
Yes it is despair from the dark
Oh how fables and dark worlds even some archfiends kind of got support in a way. So many combos with the grave yard etc. oh the fear from
The dark and more. Including the label 8 zombie that is an art on it. Hmm so many choices. Oh btw sky scourge in a way besides muskets
We have (Red) Dante. Need (Blue) Virgil/Nero, (Yellow) Trish, and (Black/Purple) Lady.
So basically it looks like Demonsmith use Réquiem to capture demon souls inside of it to power up it’s attacks and he can fuse himself with the demons inside of Réquiem to transform into Dies irae… nice lore for an archtype. And he is Dante from Dmc so i hope we get a Vergil card soon so we could Scream “I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING!!!” every time we play it
Devil My Cry
maxx c ban finally? 😀
Light Fiend. Like Royal Rebel’s Rush Duel. Light Fiend Deck 🙂.
I’m crying so hard right now, because it’s only for light fiend and Infernoids are fire…. (Snake eye, year of fire yada yada, but that stuff is gonna end on the banlist at some point and this archetype is soooo much cooler and would turn any noid into a combo starter.)
