Athena

Athena
Effect monster
Light/Angel/8/2600/800
Once per turn, you can send 1 Angel-type monster you control, except "Athena", to the Graveyard to Special Summon 1 Angel-type monster from your Graveyard except "Athena". Each time Angel-type monster(s) is Summoned, inflict 600 damage to your opponent.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first effect is an Ignition Effect that allow you to revive your own Angel monster. The second effect is a Trigger Effect that inflict damage to your opponent each time an Angel-type monster is Normal Summoned, Reverse Summoned or Special Summoned successfully. The burn effect is not restricted to once per turn, which lead to the evil infinite loop combo (refer to "Honest").

This card can easily Advanced Summoned with "Gellenduo". The first effect allow you to change your low level monster to a high level on in your Graveyard. You can even get "Gellenduo" back to Advanced Summon higher level monster from you Hand. "Card of Safe Return" let you draw cards when you revive monsters from your Graveyard. "Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen" can be used to Special Summon this card from Hand too.

With this card on the field, you can easily deal 1200 damage at least on each turn by simply Normal Summon a monster, and then send it to the Graveyard to Special Summon another monster from there. "Shining Angel" and "Nova Summoner" recruiting effect can deal buurn damage to your opponent too by suicide it into your opponent's monster. With "The Sanctuary in the Sky" on the Field, you won't even receive any Battle Damage.

While "Athena" is on the field, you can use "Monster Gate" to Special Summon a monster while dumping more monster in the Graveyard, then swap the Special Summoned monster with another monster in the Graveyard to deal a total of 1200 damage. Use of "Celestial Transformation" and "Inferno Reckless Summon" inflict even more burn damage while you flood the field with monsters.

Having 3 copies of this card on field will triple the damage dealt for each summoning. However, summoning multiple monsters with one effect, like "Dimension Fusion" is count as one summon and 600 damage inflicted for each Athena.
