The archetype is meant to be a (nearly) pure monster archetype. Its basic concept is to Summon "of Engraved Armaments" cards, then equip them with "Engraved Armament" cards, to then use those card's effects by revealing "Runic Engraving" cards in the hand. The "Runic" cards can be chained to maximize the number of targets, and thus potency, of an "Engraved armament". (What crossed my mind was "powering ancient artifacts through runic spells").
