*** Abandon Arms is a card in here. I just thought I'd include it here cuz it's ridiculously good with this archetype.

Paladius seems kind of weak.

Templar of the Exalted Knight would be the first 2100 ATK Level 4 monster.

Warrior's Return is amazing.

Are you going to submit them next set?

Paladius is fine as is. Good stats with good support. I know there's a card that accomplishes the same goal here (unless it was nerfed), but these cards were originally designed with the TCG/OCG in mind so that effect would be the first of its kind, so to speak. Templar was meant to be a way to combat Photon Thrasher, but lowering its ATK to 2000 wouldn't be unreasonable for TCG/OCG. Heck, even 1900 would pass here. Warrior's Return is a card I'm unsure about. Might or might not be broken. I'd be up for submitting these. It's been a while since I've been around so I have to catch up with everything.

They might just need minor adjustments since they don't need to be that strong on here, but probably not much adjustments at all.
