What is the relation between the archetypes Gravekeepers, Triamids and Nephtys? All of these archetypes are based on Egyptian Culture. But don’t forget the most known, the one that has the 3 Egyptian Gods: Slifer the Sky Dragon, Obelisk the Tormentor and The Winged Dragon of Ra.
For the ones who didn’t know, in the Japanese version the real name of Slifer is Osiris.
But what happened in July 12th (2023)? 6 new cards have been released for a new archetype that will come in the next OCG pack, Age of Overlord.

Notice the trap has “Canopic” in its name. You might be wondering what “canopic” means. It refers to the ancient Egypt jars that housed the internal organs that were removed from the body of the deceased during the process of mummification. A legend said all of four sons of Horus were connected with 4 canopic jars where each of these sons had to protect a specific organ.
Imsety – liver
Hapy – lungs
Duamutef – stomach
Qebehsenuef – intestines
