    NeoArkadiaBy NeoArkadiaMarch 11, 202465 Comments

    Even devils may cry before the mercy of the lord.

    INFO-JP036 刻まれし魔(デモンスミス)ディエスイレ Demonsmith Dies Irae (Fiendsmith Dies Irae)
    Level 9 LIGHT Fiend Fusion Effect Monster
    ATK 2800
    DEF 2400

    You can only use this card name’s (1)st and (2)nd effects once per turn each.
    (1) (Quick Effect): You can negate the effects of a number of face-up cards on the field until the end of this turn, up to the total Link Rating of the Link Monsters equipped to this card as Equip Cards.
    (2) If this card is sent to the GY: You can shuffle 1 other LIGHT Fiend monster from your GY into the Deck or Extra Deck then target 1 card on the field; send it to the GY.

    Note: Dies Irae is a medieval Latin poem describing the Last Judgment/Judgment Day, often used for the Funeral or Requiem Mass for the dead.

    INFO-JP046 刻まれし魔の鎮魂棺(デモンスミス・レクイエム)Demonsmith Requiem (Fiendsmith Requiem)
    Link-1 LIGHT Fiend Link Effect Monster
    ATK 600
    Link: Bottom

    (1) During the Main Phase (Quick Effect): You can Tribute this card; Special Summon 1 “Fiendsmith” monster from your hand or Deck.
    (2) You can target 1 non-Link LIGHT Fiend monster you control; equip this card from your field or GY to that target as an Equip Spell that gives it 600 ATK.

    Note: Requiem (or Funeral) is a form of Mass for the Roman Catholic Church used for the repose of the soul(s) of the recently deceased.

    Also for the Kanji:

    *Chinkon means “repose of a soul”, chinkonka means “requiem”, the “kan” here means “coffin”

    INFO-JP047 刻まれし魔の大聖棺(デモンスミス・セクエンツィア) Demonsmith Sequentia (Fiendsmith Sequentia)
    Link-2 LIGHT Fiend Link Effect Monster
    ATK 1200
    Links: Bottom Left; Bottom Right
    Materials: 2 monsters, including a LIGHT Fiend monster
    You can only use the (1)st and 2nd effect of this card’s name each once per turn.
    (1) During your Main Phase: You can Fusion Summon 1 Fiend Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, by shuffling materials mentioned on it from your GY into the Deck.
    (2) You can target 1 non-Link LIGHT Fiend monster you control; equip this card from your field or GY to that target as an Equip Spell with this effect.
    ● Your opponent cannot target the equipped monster with card effects.

    Note: Sequentia is Latin for “sequence”, kanji are “great holy coffin”.

    Sequences are a chant or hymn sung or recited during the liturgical celebration of the Eucharistic sacrament.

    INFO-JP061 刻まれし魔の詠聖(デモンスミス・トラクトゥス) Demonsmith Tractus (Fiendsmith Tractus)
    Normal Spell Card
    You can only use the (1)st and (2)nd effect of this card’s name each once per turn.
    (1) Add 1 LIGHT Fiend monster from your Deck to your hand, then discard 1 card.
    (2) You can banish this card from your GY; Fusion Summon 1 “Fiendsmith” Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or field as material.

    Note: Tractus is Latin for “progress/passage”, there are many different words read as “eisei”, so we’re unsure as to a possible pun, but the Kanji here are essentially “Hymn” and “Holy” (詠聖).

    Tractus is a form of Versicle sung in the Roman Catholic Church after the Graduale between the Epistle and the Gospel. It is named because it is played when the bible is carried from one side to the other of the church during the Mass.

    INFO-JP062 刻まれし魔の讃聖(デモンスミス・サンクトゥス) Demonsmith Sanctus (Fiendsmith Sanctus)
    Quick-Play Spell Card
    You can only use the (1)st and (2)nd effect of this card’s name each once per turn.
    (1) If you control no face-up monsters, or all face-up monsters you control are LIGHT Fiend monsters; Special Summon 1 “Fiendsmith Token” (Fiend/LIGHT/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0), also you cannot declare attacks for the rest of this turn, except with Fiend monsters.
    (2) If a face-up “Fiendsmith” monster(s) you control is destroyed by an opponent’s card effect while this card is in your GY: You can Set this card.

    Note: The Sanctus is a hymn from Catholic liturgy, and it may go as far back as the year 200 in North Africa. The most recent Roman Missal has it as:

    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”

    INFO-JP072 刻まれし魔の楽園(デモンスミス・イン・パラディズム) Demonsmith in Paradisum (Fiendsmith in Paradisum)
    Normal Trap Card
    You can only use the (1)st and (2)nd effect of this card’s name each once per turn.
    (1) Target 1 Level 7 or higher LIGHT Fiend monster you control; send all cards on the field to the GY, except that monster.
    (2) If your opponent Special Summons a monster(s) while this card is in your GY: You can banish this card; send 1 “Fiendsmith” monster from your Deck or Extra Deck to the GY.

    Note: “In paradisum” is an antiphon (a short chant) from the traditional Latin liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church’s Requem Mass.

    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?

      • Erudito on March 11, 2024 1:52 am

        Him or fear from the dark. Nice cameo I remember DFTD used in side decks back in the day.

      • LucaZERO on March 11, 2024 11:55 am

        Its fear from the dark, and i’m counting this as the “from the dark” archtype we needed

      • S.G on March 11, 2024 3:13 pm

        100% gonna support magical muskets, they finally have a turn one play

    2. TheWiseDragon43 on March 11, 2024 12:28 am

      This might actually be good Vaalmonica support.

      • Gnarz on March 11, 2024 4:26 am

        Finally the age of fabled has come!!!! REJOICE!!!

    3. Bizz Nizz on March 11, 2024 12:30 am

      Magical Musketeer indirectly getting supported is fun.

      • Nathan on March 11, 2024 1:59 pm

        FINALLY GOT THE NEEDED CARD: LIGHT FIEND ROTA! LESSSGOOOOO!

    4. RyuuGaSaiko on March 11, 2024 12:31 am

      Thanks for this. These are so cool.

    5. ——— on March 11, 2024 12:33 am

      I find this archetype to be quite odd, both mechanically and story wise.

      • Justin Jones on March 11, 2024 12:36 am

        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.

      • N on March 11, 2024 12:43 am

        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.

      • Sky Striker Bedge on March 11, 2024 5:28 am

        Visas Starfrost failed to deliver? We got Tearlament/Kashtira out of them, what more do you want? They can’t all be Branded epics.

      • kiohgu on March 11, 2024 6:06 am

        I mean diablestar is based on Bayonetta so it’s only natural we got a DMC archetype.

      • ChaosMax1268 on March 11, 2024 9:02 am

        Hispanic things.

      • N on March 11, 2024 5:30 pm

        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.

      • Justin Jones on March 11, 2024 11:46 pm

        Ritual Visa Starfrost when ?

    6. Cade Shanley on March 11, 2024 12:48 am

      Makes me think of Devil May Cry. Dante especially.

    7. TransactionRollbackInGY on March 11, 2024 12:49 am

      MM, Vaalmonica, Fabled.
      What other Light-Fiend decks this archtype can support?

      • War on March 11, 2024 12:52 am

        Magic Muskets

      • War on March 11, 2024 1:07 am

        wait that’s what MM stands for, uh…….i dunno

      • Dee on March 12, 2024 12:59 pm

        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!

    8. SSDCZX on March 11, 2024 12:54 am

      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

      • Not the "it's trash" guy on March 11, 2024 1:03 am

        It’s trash 🙂

      • War on March 11, 2024 1:05 am

        because they finally found a way to search santa claws

      • Vivi on March 11, 2024 1:13 am

        This is especially good for Fabled.

      • Chained Snake Serpent Simp on March 11, 2024 3:06 am

        This is not an archetype! This is a full engine for a LIGHT Fiend Deck.

    9. SEELE on March 11, 2024 1:22 am

      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…

      • Mixnmatch on March 11, 2024 3:40 am

        He WILL get a demon loli sidekick in second wave.
        Or demon dragon sidekick…
        or demon dragon loli sidekick…

      • Sky Striker Bedge on March 11, 2024 5:30 am

        Nice to see an archetype centered around a cool dude without one hundred billion waifus in the rearview.

    10. Tin Foil Hat on March 11, 2024 1:27 am

      Looking like characters from Guilty Gear

    11. Erudito on March 11, 2024 1:47 am

      Tractcus looks fun in DW/Fabled hybrids

    12. Tiamaton on March 11, 2024 2:10 am

      Devil May Cry x God Eater.
      looks cool atleast. could also be fun.

    13. yukicrewger2 on March 11, 2024 2:11 am

      Devil May Cry meets Blazblue?

    14. Urstad on March 11, 2024 2:14 am

      Beatrice ban. Finally ?

      • Jofx on March 11, 2024 3:57 am

        Guys awake, Fabled/Magical Musket getting support

    15. Planc on March 11, 2024 2:19 am

      Deck/Extra Deck does it mean we can’t no longer shuffle extra deck monsters with card like Unicorn

      • NoelTinDragon on March 11, 2024 2:53 am

        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).

    16. Chained Snake Serpent Simp on March 11, 2024 2:50 am

      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.

    17. Seyphos on March 11, 2024 4:15 am

      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 ?

      • kenith on March 11, 2024 4:36 am

        no bro lmfao shuffling is for face down decks only

    18. Snow on March 11, 2024 4:19 am

      Already Tier 1. These cards are nuts.

    19. Drakon on March 11, 2024 4:21 am

      So the art is basically Gungrave and DMC, Fiendsmith is Dante, the coffin is well, Gungrave’s cross

      • Benjo on March 11, 2024 7:48 am

        Thanks for the Gungrave shout out, I was thinking the same thing.

    20. Yooo on March 11, 2024 4:41 am

      Because we needed a way to search majesty’s fiend

    21. VS Enjoyer on March 11, 2024 5:39 am

      This could work well with Magical Musketeer or Fabled. Time to cook!

    22. Madness Ends on March 11, 2024 6:24 am

      Thank you konami… after years of increasingly generic waifus everywhere, you listened to my prayers and started delivering some beautiful husbandos

    23. Thanos on March 11, 2024 7:16 am

      As a greek guy, I have to clarify that the hymn also exists in Orthodox liturgy. Light Fairy Fusion monsters let’s go !!!

      • Thanos on March 11, 2024 7:17 am

        *Light Fiend Fusion, sorry

    24. Zenon on March 11, 2024 7:20 am

      I wonder if there is an actual connection to samctuary in the sky lore.

      • Zenon on March 11, 2024 7:22 am

        Like. Seems to be based on the spell the setting might be post apocalypse.

      • Harfidast on March 11, 2024 7:54 am

        Support for Light fiend? Next we need support for Dark fairy

    25. HEYCREATURE on March 11, 2024 7:22 am

      me when i limit my link 1

    26. Trunks Strife on March 11, 2024 8:12 am

      please be some non-light fiend support in set as well

    27. Samurex on March 11, 2024 8:17 am

      Doom Himbo.

    28. That guy on March 11, 2024 9:23 am

      Ugh, generic husbando

    29. Gaku on March 11, 2024 10:57 am

      yo is that my bro Despair from the Dark?

      • Duel on March 11, 2024 1:33 pm

        Yes it is despair from the dark

    30. Duel on March 11, 2024 1:33 pm

      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

    31. thespecialone on March 11, 2024 2:18 pm

      We have (Red) Dante. Need (Blue) Virgil/Nero, (Yellow) Trish, and (Black/Purple) Lady.

    32. 999 on March 11, 2024 3:51 pm

      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

    33. Makhirot on March 11, 2024 4:01 pm

      Devil My Cry

    34. StevE on March 11, 2024 4:02 pm

      maxx c ban finally? 😀

    35. Kokk on March 11, 2024 5:57 pm

      Light Fiend. Like Royal Rebel’s Rush Duel. Light Fiend Deck 🙂.

    36. Noidner on March 13, 2024 4:54 pm

      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.)
