Raphael's Pendulum Effect doesn't apply to Arc Angels sent to grave. Is this intentional?

 

Not much else to say to about this Archetype critique wise as far as I can see. Seems balanced, and although some of their effects are powerful, it's not too serious, and the ATK and DEF balance it out.

 

I like the whole 'each Arc Angel corresponds to the other of the same level' theme you've got going. I would be interested to see more support for this archetype. I would love to see this become a thing, nice work.

 

(Being a Grammar Nazi, with Jegudial you have "be battle" instead of "by battle", and a couple of "attack points" and "defense points" instead of ATK and DEF. Of course, it's nothing serious, and the latter doesn't need to be changed. Doesn't detract from the overall archetype)

Thank you, if you have any suggestions, I'm willing to take them. I will work on some supports on my own as I come up with them, of course. As for Raphael, Pendulums are only sent to the graveyard if they were used as Xyz materials, so, I didn't bother with that.
