Monk of the Spirit Waters

[Atypical-Abbie]

A generic Rank 4 that also support Token Decks.

 

2 Level 4 monsters
This card is also Spellcaster-Type while on the field and in the Graveyard. Once per turn: You can target 1 Spell Card in your Graveyard; banish it, and if you do, Special Summon 1 "Spirit Water Token" (Aqua-Type/WATER/Level 2/ATK 0/DEF 1000) in Defense Position. Once per turn, during either player's turn, when your opponent activates a card or effect that targets a card(s) you control, except "Spirit Water Tokens": You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card. You must control a Token to activate and to resolve this effect.

  The artwork is very nice and fitting. The effects seem adequate, albeit possibly very good for a generic Rank4 monster and the cost they require (only Spellbooks are not in favor of it, also Jar of Avarice will be harder to use). However, you only get to Special Summon a Token, so no complaints here. That Token, though, works as a shield against any target to your card(s), once per either player's turn. I like that the effect can't kick in if the Token(s) is targeted, alone or along with other card(s) you control.

 

TL;DR -- I don't think the card is OP, just a little above par. Personally, the only thing I'd change (if even) is that the target(s) must be face-up.
