Universal Xyz Material!

[ForzaForSwe]

[spoiler=Lore]Once per turn, you can select 1 monster you control: This card's Level becomes equal to the selected monster's Level until the End Phase or target 1 Xyz Monster you control; Attach this monster to the target as an Xyz Material. If this card is used in an Xyz Summon; The Summoned monster's ATK and DEF are increased by 500. This card cannot be used as a Synchro Material Monster.[/spoiler]

So it's a Level 1 LIGHT target for Emergency Teleport and can Xyz with anything. It can also be recycled with Call, Limit Reverse, Psychic Tuning and most importantly Telekinetic Power Well. It has no restriction on only controlling 1 copy. Inferno Reckless Summon can bring out two extras.

 

If released, this card could warp the meta completely around itself, seeing as any Xyz Monster automatically becomes stronger and easier to make. It would encourage long spammy turns with Invoker, serve as an extra body in Dragon Rulers, and generally make fast Decks faster. This would put Emergency Teleport and several other cards on the banlist by itself. It is too simple and too strong.

you could use it with emergency and reckless, together with a lv 9,to make 2 dyson or ultimatrainer. two of him and tragoedia for instant galaxy destroyer

 

OP!

[yugiohmakermasta]

I will have to agree with everyone on how broken the card effect is. I Think the concept is fine, you seem to have made it a little op but that can happen with ideas like this. I think you should add more of a drawback to the card as it seems almost "Free" even with the one it has and you can bring it out relatively easily because it is a psychic type.

All in all I think the concept and idea is good, just went a little overboard with the cards effect.

What happens if we add a "cannot be Special Summoned" restriction to this?

What happens if we add a "cannot be Special Summoned" restriction to this?

if we did that then it would take most of the brokenness out of the card and be a little bit better. However where would we add it and would it be special summoning period or just from certain places. I think that this is something that may make the card a little more balanced than it is now and would fix most of the derp brokenness in the card.

I mean the concept for the card is really good and I could see it being abused this format and the future formats to come.

The effect isn't worded correctly. The following is how I feel it should be worded as is.

 

 

Once per turn: You can activate one of the following effects:

*Select 1 monster you control; this card's Level becomes equal to the selected monster's Level until the End Phase.

*Target 1 Xyz Monster you control; attach this monster to that target as an Xyz Material.

If this card is used as an Xyz Material: The Summoned monster gains 500 ATK and DEF. This card cannot be used as a Synchro Material Monster.

 

 

As others have pointed out, this card is extremely broken. The fact that you can have multiple copies of this thing to make any Rank you desire is entirely unfair. It would be fine if you could only have 1 copy on the field considering the first effect would become Gagaga Magician-like. Also, 1 copy would prevent an instant Shock Master or any other dangerous 3 Material monster that can be done just by bringing this thing out with the methods newhat brought out. The following set-ups were mentioned, so I'll point them out in context to this card's balance.

 

 

Cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard. Once per turn: You can activate one of the following effects:

*Select 1 monster you control; this card's Level becomes equal to the selected monster's Level until the End Phase.

*Target 1 Xyz Monster you control; attach this monster to that target as an Xyz Material.

If this card is used as an Xyz Material: The Summoned monster gains 500 ATK and DEF. This card cannot be used as a Synchro Material Monster.

 

This essentially prevents most of the shenanigans newhat pointed out. While Emergency Teleport can still pose a problem, the abuseability of this card is decreased.

 

Once per turn: You can activate one of the following effects:

*Select 1 monster you control; this card's Level becomes equal to the selected monster's Level until the End Phase.

*Target 1 Xyz Monster you control; attach this monster to that target as an Xyz Material.

If this card is used as an Xyz Material: The Summoned monster gains 500 ATK and DEF. This card cannot be used as a Synchro Material Monster. You can only control 1 "Universal Xyz Material".

 

This does nothing about the Special Summon restrictions, but it does limit the presence of this card. However, the shenanigans that newhat pointed out can adapt to this restriction. So essentially, that restriction is non-existent.

 

Cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard. Once per turn: You can activate one of the following effects:

*Select 1 monster you control; this card's Level becomes equal to the selected monster's Level until the End Phase.

*Target 1 Xyz Monster you control; attach this monster to that target as an Xyz Material.

If this card is used as an Xyz Material: The Summoned monster gains 500 ATK and DEF. This card cannot be used as a Synchro Material Monster. You can only control 1 "Universal Xyz Material".

 

This combines both suggestions, and this is the most balanced imo. It makes this card harder to abuse, but it still gives it a chance to see play. Also, it makes instant 3 Material Xyz Monsters not a thing anymore.

 

Hope this all helps.
