Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to activate 1 of these effects;
● Send 1 card from your Deck to the Graveyard.
● Choose 1 monster from your Deck and place it on top of your Deck.

I think this card needs a ban. Too easy to get out, does too much for too little, behind all sorts of loops and combos that either end up as multiple versions of this or a bunch of other Rank 4s. And that's not counting the ability to stack your deck.

Am I raving? Discuss.

I'm not used to playing this. I rarely build decks that want to mill specific cards so I usually leave this out of the Extra Deck and reserve the space for other Rank4 tools, forgetting about its topdeck effect or that I can mill whatever for other combos; but I digress. I am aware of how this card is abused (e.g. Infernities), and I agree that it deserves a ban.

It is a terribly designed card when the game is as it is, but really it is just fuel for even more broken and degenerate stuff (I'm looking at you Infernity Archfiend). Since the only relevant deck that properly full-on abuses this is Infernities, I would rather just see Archfiend banned and then Chain can go on adding a bit of combo power to rogue decks and nothing more. Though perhaps banning it is good in the long run because it also limits design as it sets loads of stuff up too easily. Limiting it wouldn't do anything except with regard to Infernities because no other deck plays more than 1.

Oh hey, it's Enabler.card!

 

But yeah, this is like the glue that meshes broke'd cards together. Infernities can utilize and abuse, it's basically 2 Foolish if it lives to next turn, it fuels too many combos for it to stay at 3 IMO. But the problem being, nobody really runs more than 1, so it'd have to be banned or left untouched. I think it needs a ban, taking account of all the plays it makes.

Infernity isn't the only problem. Stacking Scepter and stacking BLS/DAD say hi.

 

That reminds me of a deck i saw back then that utilizes Blue Blooded Oni and some other Zombie yokai monsters to spam this then stack and draw DAD immediately.

 

Forgot the exacts of that deck though.

 

OT: Stupid card. Offers too much utility for too many decks. Makes a lot of powerful combos viable just by existing, and helped some other to be even more powerful.

 

Don't know what to do with it though tbh.
