Zombie/Xyz/Effect

Level 8 DARK monsters
Must be Xyz Summoned, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card and send 1 card from your hand to the Graveyardto target 1 face-up card your opponent controls; change this card toDefense Position, and if you do, negate that face-up card's effect until the End Phase.

(The english proxy on the wiki had a piece cut off).

Being DARK specific is probably balancing because it has 4500 ATK essentially out of nowhere. The effect is interesting, because it can chain to cards being activated, so it can even negate the Spell/Trap the opponent just activated. The problem is you have to detach 1, send 1 from hand, and switch to its mere 1000 DEF for the rest of the turn. It can be nice to dodge Traps like Mirror Force and so on, but it's very costly and being so specific makes it harder to use.

 

Gimmick Puppets can probably use this more when the new support is released, since they're all DARK, if I remember correctly.

That's correct. It really does support them in actuality, considering that they want to be in the Grave.

actually gimmick puppets cant use it well cuz only nightmare is dark. the rest of the new ones are earth.

 

Huh, you're right. Darn...

 

Edit: Well, not perfectly true. Twilight Joker, Scissor, and Nightmare are Dark. Gear Changer and Bomb Egg are Earth. Granted, Egg is the one that becomes Level 8, but Joker still works.

scissor isnt becoming level 8 on its own and qalaxy queen's light is suboptimal as heck. twilight joker DOES work but it seems rare to be able to keep it out long enough. you also have gearspring spirit but considering you cant use necro doll at all (or nightmare if special summoned by its effect) its generally not worth the space.

I was gone all day.
But yea, Nightmare COULD make this hilariously playable, if you get your 2 copies to survive after using Nightmare's effect.

You know, it's not really all that hard to get this out. I mean, it's only a 2-mat. Mange Doll + Gearspring is quite easy to pull off.

Magne is more live with the new Gimmick Puppets anyway.
Plus, Twilight Joker could lead to some shenanigans if you time it right.
