If an xyz monster is face-up on the field, you can special summon this card (from your hand) by discarding 1 card. Once per turn: you can detach all Xyz Materials from each monster on the field and negate the effects of all monsters that had xyz materials detached this way (even after this card leaves the field or those monsters becomes unaffected by card effects), then this card gains 1 punisher counter for each detached material. This card gains 500 ATK and DEF for each punisher counter on it, Each of these effects can be used once per turn. *Remove 1 punisher counter from this card to target 1 face-up card; destroy it. *If this card would be destroyed: remove 2 punisher counters from it instead.

 

This last update was more for if someone wants to use this in a fanfiction where "numbers can only be defeated by other numbers" is in effect then anything else, but it does make the card slightly better.

If an xyz monster is face-up on the field, you can special summon this card (from your hand) by discarding 1 card. All face-up xyz monsters you control cannot attack and their effects are negated. Once per turn: you can detach any number of Xyz Materials from monsters on the field, then this card gains 1 punisher counter for each. This card gains 500 ATK and DEF for each punisher counter on it, Each of these effects can be used once per turn. *Remove 1 punisher counter from this card to target 1 face-up card; destroy it. *If this card would be destroyed: remove 2 punisher counters from it instead.

Geez, yugioh needs more card to counteract XYZ... The combination of a high level and low base attack makes it useless against a, say, synchro deck..

I dont see why it would be useless against a synchro deck

Just summon a Xyz yourself and you can SS this card by discarding a card (and since discarding somehow can be a quite nice thing to do - thats not even a bad cost)

 

Lets see. Even if your opponent doesnt use Xyzs you would Summon one to boost this card. For example a 3 x level 3 Xyz monster (or sth like that) and this card has  3500 ATK. it prevents its own destruction by removing the Xyz materials wich makes it harder to beat + its able to destroy the opponent's face-up cards easily. And while this thing can do all that you actually control a Xyz monster wich can also attack.

 

Doesnt seem like a ANTI-Xyz card to me, especially since you only negate the effects of Xyz monsters YOU control...

 

Anyhow i think it's level is to high for some reason. i dont see a reason why this should be a level 10 monster. This is more like a 7 or 6

 

Overall this card sure is a quite nice one - even though its not really what it's supposed to be :D

thanks for the great review!

 

I was worried about making the card be reliant on what your opponent is using, so I decided to let you detach your own xyz materials too. Then I realized that it would just be a cheap staple if I didn't add something like negating the effects of all xyz monsters you control. I guess being level 10 is a matter of preference really, since this card can get high ATK in the right situation I thought 10 was fine. Preventing your xyz monsters from attacking is a nice suggestion, I'll add that.
