Decided to change my approach and create XYZ support. Or Synchro support, whichever way you want to see it.

I don't like this very much. The idea of SS'ing a potentially high-level Material from your Deck by using something you naturally do with Xyzs--detaching--instead of actually paying an actual cost like discarding, Tributing, or paying LP seems pretty OP'd. While its low level might make using it as a Material in the first place difficult, using it from there seems too easy. I'd limit it to SS'ing from the hand and/or limiting its range of levels, perhaps 1-6 or 1-7. Making the player pay an actual cost as well might be unnecessary but you could use that too. To my Xyz-hating mind, it appears to be a combination of TGU and Greed Quasar, which I think is excessively powerful for its cost.

Comment taken into consideration:

Nerfed it a bit. It can only be Special Summoned from the Deck, it is harder to pull off that effect, nerfed the level changing (for generic SS). Now it is more like recovering from an opponent's destruction effect.

I think it's a really interesting concept. Being able to Special Summon it when an XYZ monster is destroyed is interesting, and the fact it has to have material slightly limits it, which is nice. I'd love to see some of the options open with it if it was released tomorrow. Oh yeah, and I don't think it's completely overpowered, since your opponent can work around this by, say, destroying this first. I don't think there's anything problematic with it.

By the way, I absolutely love the artwork.

Normally, I would be inclined to make another thread with this same card to not bump something so old. However, it feels unnecesary to make another thread when you can just bump the original thread, thus serving its intended purpose without taking up space, plus allowing people to see the original conversations that took place.

 

So, I bump!

The idea is nice, but the fact it could cause really dead draws kind of kills it, none the less being a picky Gagaga Magician upon any Special Summon excluding by itself hurts it even more. I wouldn't mind seeing it 1-9 upon any Special Summon, and Special Summoning from the hand is rather necessary for the redemption of this card. As it stands, the dead draws and the fact you have to jump through loops for it (You have to make a Gachi or the like, have it destroyed, AND have a monster ready for this thing to go with into an Xyz for it to be an even considerable play) kills it.

Basically, make it like the original but keep the conditions the same to Summon (instead of the old detach, keep it as the Xyz Monster needs to be offed).
