2 Level 5 monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to target 1 Spell or Trap Card you control and 1 card your opponent controls; destroy both targets, then draw 1 card or, if you control a "Noble Knight" Warrior-Type monster, add 1 "Noble Arms" Equip Spell Card from your Deck to your hand instead. Your opponent cannot activate cards or effects in response to this card's effect.
[hr]Bestower of the Noble Arms,
Student of Myrddin's magic,
Lover of Pelleas and mother of Guivert,
She went by many names,
but was embellished by her title,
as ruler of Avalon:
The Lady of the Lake


The final Noble Knight Card, I had to make the very Lady of the Lake herself, as failing to do so might be flavoured-blasphemy! Definitely the Rk5 monster Noble Knights would dream about, I also made her generic enough for other play too.

I certainly like the effect. It is actually usable and not too OPed. There isn't much to say about this card, the effect and stats are perfectly fine, however, I must argue the flavour. Why does the Lady of the Lake have a destruction effect? She never fought or anything, the only attack she ever did was (in some versions of the legends) a spell to seal Merlin in a rock. I would've thought she would have a Noble Arms searching effect (I suppose that would've been uninteresting and unoriginal, but you could've added a twist to it).

Firstly, thanks for the review.

The Lady of the Lake actually has done some rather aggressive things. For example, as referenced by the flavour text, she used her magic to make a Maiden, in this version Ettarde, die of sorrow from a broken heart.

Nonetheless, you are right regarding the Noble Arms searching effect. I had considered inserting one but felt it might imbalance the card. Would something like, adding "If you control a Noble Knight Monster, you can add 1 "Noble Arms" from your Deck instead." of drawing be sound?

Oooo...a rank 5 that Noble Knights have been begging for. Obviously could be used in conjunction with the card Avalon that you created. I like this card a lot. It provides a decent search engine as well as a destruction engine, both of which the Noble Knights need. I cannot honestly find anything wrong with the card, aside from the fact that it is a water instead of light, but seeing as she is already not a warrior it doesn't matter anyway. Besides the typing just wouldn't match up any other way. Anyway, great card. Kinda sad to see the end of your Noble Knights.
