Is This Card To Broken?

Not really, it's just a stronger Spell Canceller that can't be Special Summoned. And since you need to Normal Summon it with 2 Tributes, the only consistent ways (things like Frognarchs and Mausoleum of the Emperor) are where this would ever be considered being played in. For a 2-Tribute monster, its ATK is low, but that's ok due to its Imperial Order-like effect.

 

The deck-thinning "drawback" doesn't really serve you all that well as Decks usually cannot utilize the Banish Zone as well as the Graveyard, in contrast to the Lightsworn Archetype, who sends the top 2-4 cards of their Deck to the Graveyard at the End Phase and actually use that to Summon Judgment Dragon.

 

In addition to paragraph 1, the Decks that can consistently Summon this monster tend to be very reliant on Spells as Frognarchs don't work when they have any backrow cards at all and if your Mausoleum doesn't work, then you can't Normal Summon other big-beaters. It seems like it would become a lot like Spell Canceller, .pretty useful effect-wise, but not exactly worth the space in your Deck as it is a pretty slow monster to get out with a low ATK compared to the other monsters you could have spent that effort on. In this case, it's pretty much outclassed entirely by Light and Darkness Dragon, who can negate Spells as well as Traps and Monster Effects while having a higher ATK, then becoming a Monster Reborn if it were to die.

The fact that It cant be Normal Summoned means it is no better than something like Light and Darkness dragon as both your monster and this one backfires upon yourself. (limits both players)

 

If your looking for a borken card look at Shi En and it's counterparts that lockdown everything: Ophion, Archlord Krystia, Laggia and Dolkia and alot of other cards.

 

The Concept is ok. Just another addition to the Jinzo set but in the current meta I don't feel it is fast enough. Even in a Frog deck this will not see much play as frog decks typically have a higher Spell to Trap ratio.

The good thing about the card though is it locksdown spellbooks like mad. Only way out for them is good backrow or a lucky priestess.

 

EDIT: WOW you just stoll everything I was about to say while I was typing xD
