Burden of the mighty for Xyz

[Sora1499]

Self-explanatory. Tell me watcha think!

Burden of the Ungodly
Spell/Continuous
All Xyz monsters your opponent controls gain 2 ranks. All monsters your opponent controls lose ATK equal to their level/rank x100.

Pros:
*Burden of the Mighty that affects Xyz, nuff said.
*Decks like Hieratics can no longer summon gaia dragon.

Cons:
*Allows decks like rabbit to summon Gaia dragon.
*Can be MST'd easily.
*Eats up deck space.

Out of curiosity, what owuld be the purpose to raising the rank of an opponent's Xyz? Wouldn't that allow for stuff like Ptolymys Messier (I think I spelled it wrong) to come out easier?

How? Ptolemys overlays into any Constellar Xyz, regardless of rank. Besides, Ptolemys isn't that good in constellars.

[/quote]I thought it was just overlaying any rank 5 or above Xyz. And you didn't answer the question xD

If a given Xyz monster had a level, it would be about equivalent to its rank +2. 3-mat Xyz would be its rank +4, and so on. So this card puts Xyz in their place instead of barely touching them.

[/quote]I don't see how that really affects the use of them though....

It doesn't whatsoever, it's more like a point of reference. But say your opponent had Utopia on the field and this was in play. Utopia wouldn't lose much ATK, whereas its level 6 counterpart would. Therefore, if I didn't include the +2 to ranks clause, this card would face the same problem that currently makes burden of the mighty unusable.

[/quote]OH! I missed that you had put both level and rank. Sorry about that, I see how it works now. I feel kinda stupid now

It's cool. What do you think if the card itself?

[/quote]I think it's a great concept, and very "now," so to speak. Honestly I don't feel like Xyz have all that much to properly counter with, so this is a big step in that direction.
