It’s refreshing to have a villain in Rafael who loves his monsters so much in that he wants to keep them from the graveyard 😃😃

[jessedellross]

Rafael to this day remains one of the most iconic characters in the series. Tragic backstory, fantastic player, wonderful arc, and of course the first to beat the pharaoh in a fair duel

The guardians need backup gardna to become real, that'll speed them up, and give them consistency

[NickWuebker]

I loved Rafael and his deck and I’d love to see this archetype get either new support or retrained.

[apakatsuki]

I've always liked the whole gimmick of them basically sharing their weapons with each other before they get on the field so you have more than one monster with the same effect

[UselessMagnet]

Rafeal and Noah are two characters I'd love to see in duel links just so Guardians and Spirits have true support.

"Mommy no"- Famous last words

Fun fact:
Guardian Baou was shown in GX as a servant of the Supreme King.

Love this archetype so much, Rafael was such a cool villain and i like his philosophy so much and hope they get nee support that makes them playable

[cipherreese]

I don’t know if we’ll ever get Guardian support in the future, outside of maybe the remaining anime cards being printed in Animation Chronicle packs, but I wouldn’t be against them getting a support wave like Gate Guardian got earlier this year.

Part of me always wondered what the Inspiration behind the Guardians was. Their designs seem almost random with a Lizard Monster, a Mermaid, Various warriors and Eatos who has a Native American inspired design.

Fun fact: Guardian Baou and Flameberge were two of the cards in my first ever pack opening. And to this day, Baou has been one of my favorite monsters of all time, mainly due to Nostalgia.

Also, I had zero clue about YuGiOh Lore, so Baou was just a cool card to me, not this soul possessing sword.

The fact that Raphael quickly corrects himself when he calls Guardian Eatos his mom is hilarious 😂

Holy Arms is the OCG name of Noble Arms.
Like how Sherry's deck is Holy Knight/Noble Knight and fused with the TCG debuted theme.

I think many people would love a retrain of these cards along with the cards in the anime. Maybe even make a guardian card that represents Raphael. Ishizu got a retrain so hopefully we get some cool Guardian monsters and support cards.

[serbangemon]

Oh my God i love Guardians.I know they are terrible in real life, but I still adore them.
Eatos is my favorite card in the whole game.I can't wait for Backup Gardna and Crystal Seal.
I really like how Rafael loved those cards, looked after them and protect them.

[joshuaponder]

I honestly love this archetype. I'm so glad it's finally getting attention...

Edit: this maybe a little for me to be saying this, but am I the only one thinking that Celestial Sword - Eatos should've been treated as a Valkyrie Card, and not a Noble Arms?

[soukenmarufwt]

Guardian much like Charmers, we're a set of cards that never intended to have any sort of synergy with each other.

As in, Konami never expected you to build a deck around them. Yet, we're turned into an archetype by very specific support cards.

While Charmers are more well known by their link forms and channeler forms.

Guardian is only known for 1 useful monster and various equips used in other specific decks except Guardians.

[ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

Idea to make the general game loop of the guardians easier:

_Noble Arms Arsenal Summoner_
Level 4
Spellcaster/Flip/Effect
(This card is always also treated as a “Guardian” and “Noble Knight” card.)
_FLIP: Add 1 “Guardian” or “Noble” card or Equip Spell to your hand (From your deck or GY)._
_While this face-up card is in the field, Your opponent cannot target Equip Spells you control for card effects, and if an equip spell you control would be sent to the GY, it returns to your hand instead. Cards returned to your hand by this effect are negated for the rest of the turn. Once per turn (Quick Effect): You can apply 1 of the following effects, then flip this card facedown:_
⚪️Target 1 monster you control, then add 1 Equip Spell to your hand (From your field, Deck or GY) who’s name is mentioned in it’s effects.
⚪️Target 1 monster you control: Until the end phase, If that target would be targeted for an attack or opponents card effect; Special Summon 1 “Guardian” or “Noble” monster (From your hand or deck), ignoring its summoning conditions, then change the target to that summoned monster.
⚪️Target 1 Equip Spell you control, then add 1 Monster to your hand (From your field, Deck or GY) who’s name is mentioned in it’s effects.
ATK/1600 DEF/1600

I always loved the flavor of the three guardians he interacts with
1. Baou corrupts him and turns him dark

2. Tryce empowers him and turns him light

3. Grarl rejects him because grepher is already earth meaning even with the axe his path won’t really change
