Why did it have to be 3 level 1s.....Will we never get a 2 material Rank 1? ...I guess not.

OT: Seems like one of the better Rank 1s now. I like how it could essentially stick its middle finger to Hornet.

It has a sturdy DEF and a protection from destruction. And it requires 3 Level 1 monsters.

Overall, it's pretty balanced. Good job, Konami. That is, until you release the next broken-as-hell archetype.

[Canadian]

Dat 200 ATK.

GREAT SUCCESS.

It would actually be usable if it requires 2 Level 1s. But I guess it's a nice wall with an immunity to targeting. Like ~British Soul~ said, It gives the middle finger to Hornet and their kind.

Man, isn't that Alchemic Magician dozing off?

[ihop]

Looks like the best Rank 1 so far but I'm still not convinced.

[Jord200]

Sure its a Rank 1, but its actually not bad. I love the artwork. DO WANT.

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

Kind of extremely pointless. I think they need to realize that they need to make Xyz's for Rank 1 that you can actually build a deck around. There's really only 1 so far that you can begin to doing that. As far as Rank 1's go, though, this isn't horrible.

NEETers gonna NEET.

It isn't so bad, but it isn't so good, and the 2100 DEF is pretty nice. Not sure which cards that are commonly used that target though, aside from Hornet.

Alchemic has green hair ?????

This is like a colleague or something.

Obligatory dat art post.

OT: So, once per turn battle immunity, seems like most of the rank 1s except for the rat can protect them selves from destruction, might be a rank 1 thing. Additional protection against targetting is nice o,o but shes a defensive card at best. could be intresting if she somehow gets expanded on.

Problem is that even ignoring the summoning requirement, Gachi and Zenmaines are both better. The first boosts your own monsters and the second can potentially +2 (or force your opponent to overextend). The only thing this can do is stall. Also it can be Dark Hole'd.

[Aerion Brightflame]

Yes, but that logic doesn't always work IMO.

Decks that can run Gachi don't nessacarly run Zenmaines becuase of the conditions. All of them fill a different niche. If anything comparing it to other ranks is fairly pointless, but comparing it to others of its rank makes more sense. Which I think makes this the best option in that situation.

But yes, its summoning conditions do render it fairly unusable. Which is a shame given its art.

[Agro]

It's bad. Like, really. I doubt it's even the best Rank 1.

The issue with Rank 1's is that you need to TRY to go for them to get them out, and none of them, this included, are worth going for. They require that the deck try to go for them, and no deck wants to do that.

[Just Crouton]

I'd rather use Mira the Giant Star.
