"Come, O paragon of power and virtue! Shine like a star and show this world true justice! Xyz Summon! Rank 8! Relic Saint - Valentine!"I'm back at it again. This time with an archetype that's so good that it doesn't even need all fifteen unscripted submission slots. Only thirteen of them. Consisting of 1 Xyz monster, 9 Continuous Traps, and 3 Normal Spells, Relic Saint is a Trap Monster-centric archetype focused more on disrupting the opponent than burning through half of the Deck in a single turn to summon half of my Extra Deck and put a total of 69,420 negates on the field, and it accomplishes all of this without a single floodgate, so none of you dipsticks can complain about not being allowed to play the game. Their ace monster is Relic Saint - Valentine, a Rank 8 Xyz monster capable of giving you access to any Relic Saint Trap Monster you want for immediate use or re-use.
Also yes, that quote underneath the big image is a summon chant I came up with for Relic Saint - Valentine, leave me alone. Let me be a nerd if I want to.
