First Effect:
Weiss, Lightsworn Archfiend may special summon itself from the hand when you place a card with Lightsworn in its name from the hand on top of the deck. Then, you send the top two cards of the deck to the graveyard. This effect is a good ability for the special summon of this effect monster. You gain a monster and set up potential combos.
Furthermore, the first effect of Weiss, Lightsworn Archfiend has synergy with cards in the archetype. It sets up Judgment Dragon when you send the top two cards of the deck to the graveyard. Some Lightsworn monsters may special summon themselves when they are sent from the deck to the graveyard.
For instance, Weiss, Lightsworn Archfiend may place Wulf, Lightsworn Beast from the hand to the top of the deck. Then, Wulf, Lightsworn Beast special summons himself after you send it from the deck to the graveyard when you send the top two cards of the deck to the graveyard. You have two monsters on the field. You may use them as materials for a special summon from the extra deck.
