Xyz Encore

[X-Metaman]

 

Quick-Play Spell Card

Target 1 face-up Xyz Monster your opponent controls that has Xyz Materials; detach all Xyz Materials from it, and if you do, return it to Extra Deck, then, if there is a Monster Card in the Graveyard among those detached Xyz Materials, Special Summon as many of those monsters as possible from the Graveyard to your opponent's side of the field in face-up Defense Position.

Their Levels are reduced by 1 on the field.

Cards and effects cannot be activated in response to this card's activation.

I think "Compulsory Evacuation Device" is still better..

Discuss.

[Toffee.]

So... De-Fusion/De-Synchro for Xyzs, and also prevents them from going into the same monster twice?
It's concept is pretty cool, but yea, Compulsory is better.

[Zazubat]

The fact that it cannot be negated in any way is very very nice, though, people will just start to run a monster with a lower Rank. I doubt it will see play, as it's conditional, only works if it has Xyz Material, and it gives them their monsters back (even if that makes it so they can't do any Graveyard stuff.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Ha! Your Felgrand is finished! There's nothing you can do!
*Xyz Summons Big Eye instead*

FML.

 

But yeah, I think this card is awesome...as long as you're not going up against a Deck that can summon multiple consecutive Ranks of Xyz Monsters.

Constellars laugh at this card.

De-Fusion and De-Synchro had the bonus of working on YOUR Fusions/Synchros as well, and only SSed monsters if they were in your Graveyard. This...is painfully specific (opponent's Xyz with Materials), detaches them and then returns it to the Extra Deck, and then all the monsters that got detached are SSed with a Level lower. This...isn't very useful. I'm struggling to think of when you want to do this sort of play instead of something more flexible or direct, like Compulsory or Dark Hole.

 

Sure, being unable to chain to it is a bonus, but not much of one.

I think what Konami was trying to do was to make the monsters sorta, well, useless. I think their idea was that it stopped any Graveyard stuff, and made them into useless guys on the field, open for an attack, and since they're in DP, they cannot attack that turn ether. If this was way way better and a lot of people started to use it, then everybody would just put a good Rank that's 1 below, so it reality, this can never really be fully worth playing. It's an interesting card though.

[evilfusion]

It's an interesting concept, but it's still ridiculously convoluted.

[Althemia]

Going to be the nuts when Constellars become a thing. Messes them up really badly, especially the builds that play Xyz Reborn. Compulse is better atm, but this could easily become on par.

[玄魔の王]

The name is better suited to CXyz and Number C support, the effect really needed to work on your monsters as well. Works in anime format though.

[Synchronized]

Its actually a really cool side card for Sabers vs. Evilswarm. I find that if i cant get around ophion, its game, and they cant chain pandemic to this so id definitely play it

[-Berserker-]

It would be better if the most used rank was 4

[newhat]

Oh, to your opponent's side of the field? Screw that.

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

Technically speaking, this is a -1 or worse card. It really isn't all that great, unless for some reason you absolutely need to get rid of a monster in the battle phase, or maybe before it gets ranked up or whatever. Or to get rid of Ophion/Laggia.

[TheKaitoKid]

Blatant Ophion hate. Oh well, he's overrated anyways.

 

I do like the card though. On paper it's amazing but I don't know how it will fare in practice.

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

As said in Konami's article, it hits Master of Blades. Sadly, Master of Blades hasn't proved to be nearly as much of a thing as people first predicted it to be.

[OmegaWave]

I honestly think Evac is just overall better than this. When you think about it, not being counterable isn't enough of a PRO to compensate for the fact that it only targets Xyz AND even gives them their monsters back. Also, as said by earlier posts, De-Fusion and De-Synchro had the benefit of working on your own stuff. Hell, Evac also works on your own stuff. I just don't see why this would be played over Evac, but please let me know if i'm missing something.

You won't use this on Master of Blades. Why would you give them 1-2 Dragons back?

I would also like to point out something that people seem to be overlooking: Since it's a Quick-Play Spell Card, it has the opportunity to be faster than Evac. A one-card out to any Xyz without the chance of any kind of response is actually a really good thing, considering how it's a guaranteed threat remover. Notable targets are Pleiades, Ophion and Gaois. But it doesn't stop there. People are considering the bringing back of Materials a bad thing. Normally I would agree if this wasn't a Quick-Play Spell. This gives you flexibility in when your opponent gets their materials back. If it's during your turn, you can bet that you WILL be killing those materials before they even get a chance to do anything.

tl;dr It's a good card, but printed in the wrong format. I will personally be picking some up because I can seriously see this being used some time in the future.

Hm, that's true, it is a Quick-Play, that can become very useful, as you said, you can just kill them off.

[玄魔の王]

Sadly, the decks it hits the hardest are non-meta decks like Heraldics, as they tend to be mono-Rank. I hate when they design cards like that.

I don't think anybody overlooked that it can be used on your turn, because either way you are creating walls for you to overcome before you can start dealing damage to your opponent. In the case of really big cards like Redox, this card might as well say that you can't conduct your battle phase. It CAN be used to set up certain plays as well, like bringing back a smaller monster to be taken out by Crimson Blader, but generally you're talking about creation a situation where you used up a card to either use up more cards or deal pitiful damage.
