Azura the Esper of Hidden Power, an xyz pendulum for magician pendulum decks

[I Hate Snatch Steal]

This card is available on YGO pro, see bottom of post for details

 

 

During the End Phase: you can destroy this card and if you do, draw 1 card.
--
Must first be xyz summoned by using 2 "Magician" Pendulum cards and 1 level 7 or higher Spellcaster-Type monster you control as the xyz materials. If this card leaves the field: you can draw 1 card, then if that card is a Spellcaster-Type monster, you can reveal it and draw 1 more card. You can only use these effects of "Azura the Esper of Hidden Power" once per turn each. *During either player's turn: you can send other 1 monster from your hand or your side of the field to the graveyard; choose 1 monster from either player's extra deck whose level/rank is equal or different by 1 to the sent monster's level/rank on the fieid. Until the End Phase, this card gains ATK equal to half that monster's ATK but battle damage it inflicts from direct attacks is halved and once during this turn it can activate that monster's effect as its effect. *You can activate this card's effect by detaching 1 less xyz material then required.

In order to have this card's text fit in YGO pro's textbox I had to shorten it a bit. It should also say "If you can pendulum summon level 5, you can pendulum summon this face-up card in your extra deck."

 

Rulings notes:

1) Azura cannot be summoned from the extra deck by rank-up-magic spells, xyz shift, or any other card's effect unless its face-up already from being summoned successfully by its summoning method. The only way to first summon it by using 2 "Magician" pendulum cards and 1 level 7 or higher Spellcaster-Type monster [or some card that ignores summoning conditions I guess].

2) You can pendulum summon Azura after its been summoned properly if you can pendulum summon level 5.

3) You can only gain the effect of activating a trap or quick-play spell card from your hand once per turn, even if Azura leaves the field more then once that turn.

4) To activate Azura's copying effect, there must be a monster you can copy using a monster you are able to send to the graveyard either in your extra deck, face-up in your opponent's extra deck, or if you have looked at cards from your opponent's extra deck already during the current match for any reason the cards you saw also count for this.

5) When Azura's copying effect resolves, you look at your opponent's entire extra deck as well as yours and choose which card to copy. You must show the chosen card to both players.

6) Rulings for "once during this turn it can activate that monster's effect as its effect" can be found here: http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Card_Rulings:Majestic_Star_Dragon

7) If you actvate Azura's copying effect and choose another Azura, you cannot activate the copying effect again.

8) If you activate Azura's copying effect you cannot activate the gained effect until the current chain finishes resolving.

9) You can use the xyz material cost reducing effect together with copied effects. eg activating the copied effect of Number 61: Volcasarus while Azura has no xyz materials

 

Rulings differences for YGO pro version:

* 1) Azura cannot be summoned from the extra deck by rank-up-magic spells, xyz shift, or any other card's effect. The only way to first summon it by using 2 "Magician" pendulum cards and 1 level 7 or higher Spellcaster-Type monster [or some card that ignores summoning conditions I guess] and after that the only way to re-summon it is by pendulum summon.

* 4) Since the system handles weather or not you can activate azura's copying effect and once you do how you are allowed to pay the cost. You can activate it as long as either player has a card you can copy, even if you don't know what it is yet.

* 5) On YGO pro, you only view the cards in your opponent's extra deck that you can copy based on what you sent to the graveyard instead of all of them.
