"Gaea" Archetype [11/?] Ritual + Pendulum = ?

[Bellringer Angel]

Sypnosis:

"Gaea" is an archetype of Ritual/Pendulum EARTH hybrid monsters, whose total ATK and DEF are always equal to its Levels times 800. They also consist of 2 (at the moment) Pendulum monsters which act like Senju of the Thousand Hands and Sonic Bird, but exclusively for "Gaea" cards. The archetype focus on bringing out the Ritual monsters, whether by Ritual Summoning it, or using their Pendulum Effects to summon themselves. They also have a Fusion Boss monster that is pretty much a particularly strong beatstick. Most of the artworks come from the game Rage of Bahamut.

I think World of Gaea does too much just for controlling at least 1 Gaea monster. It should be that it gets the effects up to the number of Gaea monster you control not just because you control 1 Gaea monster. If you do so, you may want to rearrange the effects a bit just elevate the effects.
