I don't say this often enough, but my god, the artwork on YGO cards can be amazing sometimes, I love the designs on these cards. I have not been following these Fallen of Albaz cards all that much, but this kind of seems like the conclusion, at least they seem to focus a lot more on the Stigmatika side of things as far as I can tell.

So I stopped paying attention to the speculative lore for Albaz after Tri-brigades, but now... I've gotta know what happened, how these guys fit, why they are parallels of the Dogmatika, and why the castle looks like friggin' Trishula.

Albaz best Deck.

Looking at this archetype, it looks like some modern day Shakespearean bullshit, and I'm all for it. That being said, the art on these cards look really cool

My immediate thoughts to the level 11 was "It looks similar to the Chair stuff from Sevens." for some reason.
