Lightning Driller

[Atypical-Abbie]

A Rank 6 with an uncreative name. Yay!

 

2 Level 6 monsters
Once per turn, during either player’s turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 Spell/Trap Card your opponent controls; during the End Phase, destroy that target. Once per turn, during either player’s turn, if this card is targeted by your opponent’s card effect: You can target 1 other Effect Monster you control; banish that target until your next Standby Phase, and if you do, negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it.

But drills are cool, therefore the name is cool.

 

Last time I checked, the Rank6 pool didn't have many good toys to play with (the most noteworthy are Ptolemy, Gauntlet and... Exa-Beetle?) so it's nice to see a generic Rank6 here. End-Phase MST may be slow but I couldn't find other generic Rank6s that could remove S/Ts without jumping through hoops (Exa-Beetle and Shogi Rook can, but they have to fulfill additional conditions) so this should be a welcomed addition for the pool. Then it has that cute pseudo-anti-targeting effect as backup.

 

Overall a solid card in my opinion. If anything, the Quick-effect perk on the detach effect makes me wary but since it has an End-Phase delay and thus cannot stop Spell/Traps on the spot, I guess it should be fine.
