2 Level 1 monsters
When any player's monster declares an attack: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; negate the attack, and if you do, if that monster is an Xyz Monster, this card gains ATK equal to the Rank of that monster x 500.

Seems like an actually decent Rank 1 for once. Was just browsing the new cards on DN.

Names Rank 1s.

Doesn't name 83 or Dullahan.


Dullahan I agree, but I'd say 54 edges out 83. 83 has a neat trick, but 54 is a Yubel, and one of the few Rank 1s who can be used offensively.

As for this little guy... I wish he always gained ATK per the opponent's Rank per the anime, because then he punishes decks like D-Rulers by becoming a 4k beater. That said, I love how he works, and his Rank 1 status coupled with his title have given me a lot of symbolish fuel.

Ghostricks choose piercing and invincibility over yubel almost anytime. Because Stein. So it definitely deserves mention, even if it is a niche use. It'll surely find more and more homes with time, and is a good car as a standalone.

How often to Ghostricks have 3 LV1s in play anyway? I'm my experience with the deck it's fairly rare.

It's not rare, just wasteful.

It's not even wasteful when you're in the position to make it.

 

If you spend a game stalling with Specter and Lantern (Note: This was pre-LVAL), and all you have otherwise is a Stein, Galaxy Queen can really help you make plays with her piercing.

 

And it's Ghostricks. You shouldn't have too much trouble out-advantaging the opponent.

I think I can count on one hand the number of times I've even gone into my Extra Deck with Ghostrick. My games have all been "stall until Jiangshi nets me a win, or get trampled before I had a chance to do anything".
