It looks better on paper than it actually is. I'd rather make Tiras or Volca.

Not enough space in decks that run Rank 5s to run this. Only in Inzektors (and pure Ninjas, of course.)

It's fantastic against Fire King if you're running Inzektors.

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

It's not a horrible card, just -usually- outclassed. I used it in my Rank 5 deck, and it worked out pretty good for a first turn move.

The perks is it protects all Ninjas, not just a specific one. It protects itself, due to being a Ninja. It protects from battle AND card effects. And lastly, this protection lasts the entire turn, and it's a Quick Effect so it works on either turn.

The downside is it's a Rank 5 with 2400 ATK and the only thing it does is prevent destruction. It's a defensive effect.

Volcasaurus burns and destroys things. Tiras is indestructible by card effects while it has Xyz Material, and destroys an opponent's card when it battles. Adreus has more limited destruction, but still threatens resources. And all 3 are stronger than this.

Ninjas do have a combo to make Rank 5s, but those options are relatively subpar to toolbox into the Deck, compared to the stronger (in terms of effect) and easier to make Blade Armor Ninja. So the effect working on all archetype members is kind of a moot factor.
