NEW POPE, NEW GIGAVISE LIST

A Papal Statement from His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, Supreme Pontiff and Devoted Servant of the Combo Line

My dear children in Christ,

It is with reverent joy and just a touch of competitive zeal that I come before you today—not merely as the Bishop of Rome, but as a humble laborer in the vineyards of Edison Format.

Yes, the Petrine Throne endures. Yes, the Mass continues. But between vespers and the Angelus, I have taken it upon myself to explore the wonders of the most sanctified of combo decks: GIGAVISE.

Let none say that Holy Mother Church turns her eyes from the trials of this world, for I have beheld the metagame’s suffering. I have seen the stun players with their cold, joyless souls. I have heard the wailing of the Machina duelists, chained to their normal summons. And I have declared: “Let there be recursion!”

This new list is a vision—a harmony of form and function, 40 cards tuned to the divine frequency of combo righteousness. It is not burdened with greed, nor bloated with techs born of sin. It is pure, unyielding, and capable of winning through board states so dense they might stagger even the saints.

I play not for personal glory, but to show that faith and game knowledge can coexist. When I open Lonefire into Lonefire into Tytannial, I feel the presence of the Lord. When Power Tool Dragon reveals three Mark of the Rose, I know the Spirit moves within the Extra Deck. And when my opponent activates Torrential, only for me to chain Call of the Haunted—brothers, I tell you, that is grace.

Some may mock. Some may doubt. But I say to them: “Even Thomas came to believe, once he saw the combo resolve.”

This is not dogma. This is praxis. And if you, too, seek deliverance from inconsistency, from stun, from bricky openers and shallow lines, come—repent, draw for turn, and combo forth.

In His Name and in the Stack,
Leo XIV
Pontifex Maximus, Defender of the Combo,
and still very much the Roman Catholic Pope.
