Supreme Jicaro - the pseudo-Xyz who packs a punch!

[L0SS]

Just a little concept for a pseudo-Xyz, in the form of Ultra Jicaro, who has support in Jicaro. Supreme Jicaro acts a way to splash your Xyz rank 3 or lower monsters with a fairly simple setup, but is hopefully balanced enough to avoid abuse.

You may banish this card you control to Special Summon 1 'Jicaro' from your hand.[/spoiler]

 

[spoiler='Supreme Jicaro']

 

This card can be Special Summoned by banishing up to 3 'Jicaro' you control. Once per turn: You can discard 1 spell card; Special Summon 1 Level 3 or lower Xyz Monster from your Extra Deck, then attach up to 3 banished "Jicaro" to it as Xyz Material.[/spoiler]

If I wanted a Rank 3 or lower Xyz Monster with no materials (which means its useless in most cases), why would I use this when i could just use a whole different deck that allows me to Summon Bahamut Shark and Summon Acid Golem (and give it to my opponent with Creature Swap / Mystic Box) or Nightmare Shark and maybe use its effect if possible?

 

tl;dr: Far too much effort needed to Summon it since it doesn't give you any reward(s) for doing so.

So what would you suggest? Up the limit to rank 4, and change the effect to attach Supreme Jicaro and it's materials to the summoned Xyz? 

P.S - you are aware that it's 'up to 3' Jicaros, and not just 3 Jicaros. I made it like this so you can take advantage of the banished Jicaros becoming materials, though I may still add the bit about attaching Supreme Jicaro and it's materials to the Xyz summoned.

Honestly, I would suggest you to ditch the idea of a pseudo-Xyz and make it that you can attach the banished Jicaro's to the monster that you Summoned via its effect. Then comes in the question, would it require a cost? Possibly, but I would honestly only give it a cost like "Once per turn: You can discard 1 card (maybe make it type specific, ie monster card, spell card or trap card); Special Summon 1 Level 3 or lower Xyz Monster from your Extra Deck, then attach up to 3 banished "Jicaro" to it as Xyz Materials."

I see what you mean. Treating it as an Xyz does nothing for it. I think what you stated is pretty much on the money. I also agree in a cost, I'm thinking spell cards. Thanks for the advice.
