Number 71: Vault of Vice

 

✪✪✪✪ (Rnk 4)

DARK

[Machine/XYZ/ Effect]

ATK/ 0  DEF/3000

 

3 Level 4 Monsters

 

Set cards in your Spell & Trap Zones cannot be destroyed by card effect. When this card is Xyz Summoned: Equip 1 card from your Deck (face-down) to this card. During your Standby Phase: detach 1 Xyz Material. If this card has no Xyz Materials: You can add 1 face-down card equipped to this card to your hand.

 

 

Normally I wouldn't bother making a Numbers card because I think Konami would be in a rush to fill in the gaps... But, this time around... Whatever. XD

Well, this is really interesting.

 

It's pretty much a time bomb to add whatever you want to your hand Final Countdown, but there's a high risk considering it has no protection. The high DEF is rather useful in battle, but you're still using 3 Level 4 monsters to make this.

 

Another possible usage is to use this card like a Foolish Burial, if you can find a way to remove it. However, it won't trigger effects from cards like Shaddolls. 

 

Aside from that, I'm not sure if there would be any other good uses for it. You can add a OPT protection from being destroyed by card effects I guess to give it a little more usage power.

My question is, would the 'equipped' card be destroyed if this Xyz were to leave the field?

 

I guess you could use it in a Rock-type Deck to make use of http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Block_DragonGrave eff. But I'm not sure what deck could be able to pull this, as 3-mat Xyz can be hard even for Rank4 specialized Decks.

Yes.. It does go to the Graveyard if the Xyz is removed from the field. A good rule of thumb is that when the equippee dies the "Equipped Card" goes with it. I know that the first effect may cause confusion, but that effect is only present while this thing is face-up on the field.

 

As for decks that can pull this off... Star Seraph with their Rod/ Chair engine can. But, most likely they would not want to make something like this unless they would have powerful backrow to support it (as this thing protects back row).

 

For the most part though, I wanted to make it somewhat impractical for common use, but still have interesting ways to at least pull off the effect as mentioned in my Tips.
