Was looking at level 7s to make. The tuner is Birdman. Discuss?

It's a lot harder to make with the right Material than it looks, I can tell you that.

The best effect is arguably the LIGHT one, as it turns the Synchro Summon of Triforce into a +0, and it can potentially recycle LIGHT Flips (Ryko, etc.) or big LIGHT monsters.

The EARTH effect is the second best in my opinion, but it would have been so much better if it also stopped Monsters Effects in the same way as Armades. Blocking stuff like D.Prison or Lances in the damage calculation is not that bad, though.

And the FIRE effect is unreliable because of the "destroy by battle" condition.

 

In short, if your deck is mainly LIGHT, Triforce would be a decent addition, although it would be competing for Extra Deck space with LS Michael, whose banishing effect is more appealing. But if the deck doesn't have enough LIGHTs, there should be better Synchro 7 options, namely Moonlight Rose Dragon (OCG) and Yazi (NECH release).

 

By the way, with 2500 ATK it is a target for DDV and EEV, for whatever is that worth.

When I first started this game, I ran it in Agents (as I purchased a Structure Deck) and used it to recycle my Shining Angels/Rykos.  People at my locals kind of just stared at me and asked if I knew what I was doing.  Ha!  I understand that that's a pretty horrible place to run it, but I was piss poor running off of starter decks.  this actually brought quite a lot of power to the table and won me those very same locals once.

 

But, in any case, this is sadly outclassed by pretty much any other Level 7 Synchro monster solely because it needs a Genex Tuner.
