Trap/Continuous

You can detach 1 Xyz Material from a face-up Xyz Monster you control, and if you do, attach it to a face-up Xyz Monster your opponent controls as an Xyz Material, and if you do that, skip the Battle Phase of this turn.

 

Why would I give my opponent Xyz materials? Discuss?

That was a horrible joke.
Anyways, the reason you would give your opponent an Xyz Material is because you have accepted your inevitable yet improbable demise at the hands of a Basiltrice, and you think that it wouldn't finish you off quickly enough without an extra 200 ATK.

Heart-eartH? Other than that, not entirely sure...

Feed more Xyz Materials such that GEPD gets a larger ATK boost once it flickers it.

 

Feed Utopia Roots' ATK boosting anime-effect before doubling that even further with Double or Nothing.

lol this card save Nasch from Number C88

I know it was a horrible joke, I already have my shotgun ready.

Opponent is attacking Temptempo with a Xyz Monster with 2200> ATK and no materials? Use this to give the Xyz Monster a material, so Temptempo can detach it using its other Xyz Material and gain ATK!

 

Or you can make it less situational by equipping Temptempo with Dark Energy! It's totally legit! Why are you pointing that metallic stick at me? What are you doing? Stahp.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this card is a serious contender for "WTF Gimmick Card of the Year". This serves no purpose beyond thwarting an alternate win condition Nasch didn't even know about until mid-duel, when he JUST SO HAPPENED to already have the card set. I'm waiting for evilfusion to tear this to pieces.

[heraldry_lord]

Stellar duel writing indeed.

[Wildflame]

It has no OPT clause, so instant 3800 ATK Leadblow?, idk.

[玄魔の王]

Also, OP is missing the fact this skips the Battle Phase for the turn.

It's not now. Thanks for point it out though.

I'm actually not too bothered by it.

 

Nasch's strategy in that Duel had revolved around Number 101 and C101. Not only did he have a number of cards to attach more Overlay Units to his Xyz at a moment's notice for C101's revival effect, but C101 has the ability to absorb monsters as Overlay Units.

 

This card would serve primarily defensive purposes, by skipping the Battle Phase. If someone was going to attack directly, or attack with a monster that overpowered C101 and drop Nasch to 0 with that attack, this card would let him prevent that by skipping the Battle Phase. Then, on his turn, he could use C101 to absorb the opponent's Xyz monster, essentially giving him back the Overlay Unit he paid, and ensuring C101 still has its revival power, plus remove the opponent's monster and swing for damage.

 

Xyz monsters in Zexal anime are win conditions, with very few exceptions, and especially when Numbers are involved. This card isn't nearly as dead as it makes out to be. Both 101 and C101 don't really use their Overlay Units for anything, so getting rid of one to skip the Battle Phase won't necessarily cost you the Duel, especially if you're just going to turn your opponent's Xyz into an Overlay Unit anyway.

 

The really conditional part is that you need an Xyz with an Overlay, and your opponent needs an Xyz to attach it to. Otherwise, you can't skip the Battle Phase. And since most Xyz effects are once-per-turn, giving your opponent's Xyz a Material isn't as big a deal, because they've probably used the effect of that monster already.

 

Even before becoming Nasch, Shark's Deck tended to be an aggressive-style Deck with defensive counters. This card still fits his style of play, while taking No. 101/C101 into account. At the time he set the card, he was on the verge of winning, anyway.

In the anime this might be a good card, but in a real game, this thing is terribly situational, you might get it off 1 time, but unless you can answer your opponent by the next turn, this card will more than likely be a one-time use that'll just make them stronger in the long run, not to mention the need for both players to have an xyz on the field.
