- Activating more than one per turn. It's a hard once per turn by name.
How it works
The Fallen & The Virtuous is a Quick-Play Spell that always counts as both a “Branded” and a “Dogmatika” card. When you activate it, choose one effect:
- Destroy: Send 1 monster that mentions “Fallen of Albaz” from your Extra Deck to the GY, then target 1 face-up card on the field and destroy it.
- Revive: If you have an “Ecclesia” monster on your field or in your GY, target 1 monster in either GY and Special Summon it to your field.
You can only activate 1 “The Fallen & The Virtuous” per turn.
When to use it
It’s a flexible card for decks built around Fallen of Albaz and Ecclesia. The destroy option is removal you can use on your opponent’s turn, and sending the Extra Deck monster can set up that monster’s own Graveyard effect. The revive option can take a monster from your opponent’s GY too. It came from THE CHRONICLES DECK: The Fallen & The Virtuous (October 2025).
