So far I have no real issues with this card so far. Considering that it is only the beginning of a set, I really have no indication as to where this can lead to. As a starting card, it isn't bad in the slightest and helps gain advantage for its cost. As long as the Summoning doesn't get too carried away like Satellars and you find a way to balance this effectively, then I have no complaints. Also, I would ask how you get this in the PZ, but I am sure there is a card that can do this, so I will hold off

If we use Odd-Eyes Rebellion as an example (given it's the only Xyz Pendulum existing in-game), it basically has an effect on its own to set self in the P-Zones when it gets destroyed as a monster.

Anyway, stats are fine; and basically revives stuff assuming you Xyz Summoned this card rather than P-Zoning it.

 

Regarding its Spell effect; while I have some degree of issues about it being able to spam any Level 4 of your choosing from the Deck; can't really say much.

But in a way, the above holds.

 

Provided the rest of the set doesn't turn into R4 spam or something, it shouldn't be too bad.

(Since we have no idea how to actually place it in the Pendulum zone, I will simply assume it goes off like Odd-Eyes Rebellion)

The two of you who are saying his Pendulum effect is fine, I want whatever the hell you're smoking. Free summon from the deck is not a good effect to have. It's like Summoner Monk but reusable and without a cost and isn't limited to level 4s only, meaning it opens up so much more plays. Basically, you get a free extra special summon, of any monster you want, basically every turn, without losing a single card. Does that sound balanced to you? And again, the second effect is quite crazy. Generally Extra Deck monsters don't get to recycle their materials so easily, that's why they're a pretty big investment to give. But this? You can simply detach 1 material, target the detached monster, and boom. You just recovered your lost card. I don't know how strong the O/K cards will be, but what I do know is that this card is way too strong at the moment, and that the Pendulum effect should not exist in any way shape or form. The second effect is also kinda out of place, but that's just me.

 

Make the first effect more Summoner Monk-esque, meaning it requires an actual cost (Discarding a Spell should be fine) and limit it to archetype only to prevent abuse. Or, make it level 4 only, since that'd also help reduce the potential for crazy. In fact, you can tie in the Pendulum effect's cost to your archetype's gimmick, but try to not make it go overboard. Basically, make the cost still hurt you slightly but also helps the deck's agenda. Last effect should make it so that it targets and SS's first, then detaches, to prevent the abuse i mentioned earlier.

 

Addendum: Scale 8 is probably a bit too high too, given it's generic.

Oh, this reminds me of an important rule.

 

Next time, if you post in Advanced Card -Singles-, please do not post a card that supports an archetype that's not around yet. It's better if you post it alongside the others first, since as of now, it's hard to gauge the true strength of this card without seeing the other archetype members.

 

Thank you, and have a nice day~!

Oblivion Knight will have its own way of changing from monster to Pendulum zones, more coming soon :).
