This card seems fairly alright for what it is.

 

Discuss.

 

Level 10 monsters
You can also Xyz Summon this card by discarding 1 "Rank-Up-Magic"Spell Card and using a "Utopia" monster you control as the Xyz Material. (Xyz Materials attached to it also become Xyz Materials on this card.) Once per turn: You can target 1 "Number" monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it in face-up Defense Position. Its effectsare negated. During either player's turn, when a monster effect that targets this face-up card is activated: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it.

It's not underpowered at all when Roots is a card.

You just run it in Ghostrick as a boss to drop astrals for when you can R1. 4K and can't be targeted and can get back beaters/walls.


Spells and Traps can target it freely. Only Monsters get blown up, and only if you have Xyz Material.

Relevant Targeting S/T:
Lance - not relevant against 4K
Book of Moon - Limited
PWWB/Raigeki Break - Particularly the former, is an actual concern
Compulse - Bad in TCG, only decent online, not really a great card, also limited

So most decks have all of 1-2 targetting outs to it after it hits the board, and bad decks will have Dark Hole.

And who cares if you have to have mats, it BLOWS THEM UP and usually starts with 3 mats.

One of the coolest things about this card is that very little in the Rank 4 toolbox counters it, so dumb 4spam Decks have to draw into an out. Exciton's almost never going to trigger because of the card investment required for Dragun. The only generic answer at 4 is Thunder Spark.

The options are few, but they exist.

I am now waiting for the interaction between 99 and C101 to manifest before me, because it will be hilarius.

I would say Yubel decks could run this but wasting three Yubels for this would be bad. If only Metal Reflect Slime were more viable. I suppose a Lemuria Shark deck could get one or two of these out somehow but I doubt it. 

Pssst, except for M7 and maybe something else, if a monster has an alternative Summoning condition like this does, you always Summon it that way instead.

Gaia Dragon gets summoned as an R7, for that "Something else". and DMoI can be.

Its ability to revive Numbers shouldn't be undersold. Summoning the monsters Defense Position is unfortunate, but the effect negation is actually a plus if you're reviving Utopia, since it'll negate its self-destruction effect. You can also revive Utopia and evolve it into Utopia Ray in Attack Position, although if you're doing that, I don't think you have room for any Extra Deck monster that isn't a form of Utopia.

2 S39
2-3 OG 39
0-1-2-3 Rank-Up 39 (C-V, C-Victory, Beyond)
0-1 99

So only 4(never gonna happen)-9 slots

Then 101, Castel, Exciton, Dweller, probably C101 if you're running Limited, probably Strike Bounzer is Astral, and then another slot or few foor whatever general R4
