SECE-EN095
Swordsman of Revealing Light
LIGHT/Warrior – Effect/8/0/2400
When an opponent's monster declares a direct attack: You can Special Summon this card from your hand, then if this card's DEF is higher than the attacking monster's ATK, destroy that attacking monster. An Xyz Monster that was Summoned using this card on the field as Xyz Material gains this effect.
● Once per turn, this card cannot be destroyed by battle.

Good news for you guys who are still hoping for the Duelist Packs ;)

Oh, we're getting this (finally) in SECE? Cool.

 

As for this card, it's pretty good, but it's really only a conditional defensive option when most Decks might prefer something more reliant. That said, it's a very nice card. Level 8 has Trade-In and the like, and being able to Summon itself a kill a 2400 or less attacker is sweet.

 

The effect if used as an Xyz Material is interesting, but Rank 8s aren't usually likely to be killed by battle. It's still a nice trick to have. It could be used in weird Galaxy Decks, but it won't help their consistency. What the TCG needs is Galaxy Soldier.

It is far less reliable than it looks. People generally attack in ascending order so you frequently lose this after the kill, where something like Gorz would survive.

Gorz requires no cards what so ever... This allows backrow... This could more easily be seen in decks that require spells and traps that are continuous... Or a field...

Summoning this is more reliable than Summoning Gorz, but Gorz is more useful once you do.

 

A better comparison would be Tragoedia. This has the same early reliability, the same lategame unreliability, and a higher demand for other monsters to pair with it since it will just sit there otherwise.
