Archangel



The Archangel cards are a series of angelic-themed LIGHT monsters, with the majority of them being Fairy-Type monsters. They are used by Dane in Saiba Aisu's Fan Fic, Days of the Black Apple and were personally designed for exclusive use in this project.

Design
The Archangel Monsters are identified by having the words "Archangel" (大天使) in their names. In the Japanese versions, the names of the Archangel Monsters are also hyphenated. Many of the card's images and design tend to incorporate elements of warlike angels and draw upon a well-varied array of notable references to the concepts of religion, divine justice, and God.

Playing Style
The majority of the Archangels are characterized by an assortment powerful and useful effects that activate in the Graveyard, allowing the player to put each card to its best use. The Deck is heavily centered around Summoning and taking advantage of its signature creature, Archangel Dragon, which can be revived almost indefinitely, provided that the player has a steady stream of LIGHT monsters to offer. Many of the Archangels feature game-changing effects, such as Archangel Disenchanter's ability to destroy the opponent's Spell and Trap Cards and return other LIGHT monsters in the Graveyard to the player's hand, or Archangel Guardian's ability to temporarily increase its DEF by a substantial amount and fetch Equip Spell Cards from the player's Deck.
