Pwease don't get mad at me [Extra Deck Errant Destroyer Virus]

I wanted something to make Admiration of the Thousands potentially a bit more playable, so I figured some kind of Virus card that messes with the Extra Deck instead of the Main Deck would be the most sensible way. But I didn't want it to be an "activate and be screwed with no way out for 3 turns" like the other Viruses, so I added in a way for the opponent to stop it if they desire, while still helping the goal of the card.

You cannot Xyz Summon during the turn you activate this card. Tribute 1 Xyz Monster with 2600 or more ATK. Your opponent can let you send 1 card from their Extra Deck to the Graveyard to negate this card's effect, otherwise until the end of your opponent's 3rd turn after this card's activation, during each of their Standby Phases: your opponent reveals 3 Xyz Monsters in their Extra Deck; select and send 1 of those monsters from their Extra Deck to the Graveyard.

 

Though, in hindsight, I suppose the opponent would prefer you pick 1 as opposed to a total of 3 by the end of it.

 

Anyway, if you have any suggestions for balancing it out, if it isnt, please feel free to share. Like I said, I don't want this to be a card that screws the opponent over without giving them a chance to fight back.

Quick card grammar fix;

 

Tribute 1 Xyz Monster with 2600 or more ATK: Your opponent can let you send 1 card from their Extra Deck to the Graveyard to negate this card's effect, otherwise until the end of your opponent's 3rd turn after this card's activation, during each of their Standby Phases your opponent reveals 3 Xyz Monsters in their Extra Deck (if any); send 1 of those monsters to the Graveyard and add the rest back into the Extra Deck. You cannot Xyz Summon during the turn you activate this card.

 

I think the card is good. Its not overly powerful, and would be fine running 3x of in a deck. First of all, an Xyz monster with 2600 or more attack is a lot, especially in the current meta where the best xyz monsters currently run are mostly <2500 ATK. It can definitely disrupt certain decks (eg. Infernity, Madolche), while being useless against others (eg. heroes, burn, exodia etc.). To balance it? I'd probably say lower the cost of the card. But I wouldnt really be sure what would be balanced. Maybe 2300 instead of 2600? Or possibly even incorprorate Synchros into the effect along with Xyz's?
