The first thing I thought:
[giant Yubel picture]

Am I right?

As Yubel is worded, using this on your own Yubel should net you a couple of Yubel Das Germanwords, unless there's a BKSS ruling preventing that. Unfortunately, it doesn't work out that well. After you use this on your Yubel I, you have 1 Yubel I and 2 Yubel II. During your End Phase, the Yubel II's' effects activate, nuking the field and killing all your Yubels, who replace themselves, becoming 1 Yubel II and 2 Yubel III. Then your new Yubel II activates its nuke effect, and your pair of Yubel III's dies, leaving you with just a single Yubel II - no better than if you'd just blown up your Yubel with some one-for-one removal. (On the plus side, it would get these big monsters out of your deck and flood your Graveyard with DARKs.)

Oh, and I forget the exact timing of Yubel's Tribute-in-End-Phase effect. I think you can kill Yubel with a Yubel II effect higher in the chain before it self-destructs, but if not, you can always just Tribute a Yubel II, and the only difference will be that you'll be able to send 1 fewer Yubel III to your Graveyard.

If you can also blow up your Yubel to turn it into a Yubel II, then in the End Phase, all the Yubel II's will evolve into Yubel III's... and one of them will kill the other two as soon as it attacks and gets its nuke effect, and none of them will have any removal protection. Really, unless you have something to Tribute the extra Yubel III's for or something, you'd be better off not evolving your Yubel in advance so that you can at least keep a Yubel II.

Oh, thanks!

I'm not sure on the timing too. Maybe I'll go check.
