Your opponent when they attack this:

4 Level 5 monsters
When an opponent's monster declares an attack: You can destroy all cards your opponent controls. If this card has "Number 69: Heraldry Crest" as an Xyz Material, it gains this effect.
● Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 face-up Xyz Monster your opponent controls; this card gains ATK equal to that face-up monster's original ATK, and if it gains ATK this way, this card's name becomes that monster's, and it gains that monster's original effect. These effects last until the End Phase.

The art is amazing. But a 4000 beater at no cost feels just wrong.

Call Revives, Unicorn (HB) revives, etc. They should've at least put a Summoning restriction on it.

The best part is you can play this off Limited Force =D

This. THIS. THIS MAKES ME HATE SO DANG MUCH

Well, it was only a matter of time before Quasar looked like crap in the ATK department.

HB suck balls anyway, not really this things fault.

Oh look, the name isn't redundant anymore. In fact, it's now really a good description of it.

Potentially outclassed by C103. It was already just barely earning its spot over C106, so now it's even less likely to be grand.

I thought this was ALWAYS better than C106. Always.

C103 does do a good job, but it depends on the scenario. Sometimes nothing gets the job done quite like a 4K beater.

On another note, 

Safe Zone with this is a bad, but nasty idea. 

 

Also, when your friend runs a pure Number HB deck, he has room for whatever he wants whenever he wants. So this is easy th throw in there.

C106 was never giving this competition. A 2600 semi-lock the opponent can bait is NOT better than a 4k beater that makes the opponent afraid to attack.

I love it. Despite being one of the best Rank-Up monsters, due to being a 4K beater essentially out of nowhere with Limited Barian's Force, I feel it's outclassed by C101. Fortunately, it's both a defensive and aggressive monster...again, like C101, and that nuke effect is brutal. I particularly like the fact that it can be revived easily in Heraldics, but I'm biased because I run Rank-Up Heraldics. And without Amphisbaena and No.18, this is worthy as one of the boss monsters.

 

The Rank-Up effect isn't bad, considering Heraldics can revive No.69 with relative ease, but truthfully, the majority of the time, they don't even play No.69. There are usually better 3 Mat Rank 4s that Heraldics can use that wouldn't mind being Ranked Up, and quite a few 2 material monsters, too. In fact, No.103/C103 will probably force Coat of Arms to go away, because C69 doesn't need it aside from overkill.

Have you heard of OTKs?

 

And the "afraid to attack" is a f***ing fallacy. They'll never be attacking you if you have a 4K beater out unless it's Catastor.

Because C101 helps clear the field, and also potentially gives itself another chance to revive itself.

The afraid to attack was bad logic. They won't attack you, thats guaranteed, but not attacking is also good. 

Would this guy not promote OTKs, being a 4000 beater? Reviving him makes it even easier to do.

[evilfusion]

It's not "afraid to attack". It's completely stupid to attack. There's a difference between the two. Not attacking because of a Set card is afraid to attack. Not attacking because your opponent has a monster that'll destroy your entirely Field if you do is just not being an idiot.

[Lunar Origins]

Pulled one. 

 

Oh my fucking god is it amazing if you tech Limited.

Bujins and their 4/5 Honests say hi. Also, 2600 is a LOT easier to beat over than 4000, so the point stands.

And as pointed out below, a 4k beater does a LOT to help an OTK along. C106 would be a lot better if it wasn't mandatory, allowing them to bait the effect and leave your OTK attempt unprotected.

Why the fuck would you make this against Bujin? If you are, you're playing agaisnt an old or bad build and you're still begging to be Quilin'd or have Hare/Kagutsuchi laugh at you. I'd rather make C101 post-Prio.

 

2600 that renders their backrow useless, depending on their setup isn't bad at all. It's not quite as good as 4K, but it still enables OTKs out the ass. If it's the only protection you have, you're probably doing it wrong anyways.

I was responding to your comment that nobody would ever attack into a 4k beater. Obviously at least one scenario exists in which this would happen. Obviously C101 is better, that's never been disputed.

 

And no, it doesn't render their whole backrow useless. That's what C107 does. C106 can only stop one thing. In backrow.format, that's no good.
