[Blake]

CPL1-JP043
Rank-Up-Magic Admire Death Thousand
Spell Normal
You can only activate 1 “Rank-Up-Magic Admire Death Thousand” per turn. During the turn you activate this card, you cannot Special Summon monsters, except with this card’s effect. (1) Target at least 1 Xyz Monster in each Graveyard with the same Rank; Xyz Summon 1 “Number C” monster or “CXyz” monster from your Extra Deck that is 1 Rank higher than those monsters by using those monster as the Xyz Material.

[goddamnit names are a pain]

Cool.

Rank 4 shenanigans me thinks.

[White Void]

Might make an amusing tech somewhere but really not feeling the special summon restriction. It's already situational enough as it is.

[Toffee.]

It's already situational enough as it is.

Considering Rank 4s are pretty common, it's hardly that situational.

Could I make Barian with C10X monsters in either player's graveyard?

I don't see why not No...

[Bringerofcake]

I don't see why not

 

 

I just realized

 that is 1 Rank higher than those monsters by using those monster as the Xyz Material.

 

That's why not.

 

What IS cool about this is that you can make C10X monsters if you lost the originals some other way.

[~British Soul~]

I just realised

 

that is 1 Rank higher

 

That's why not.

*facepalm* Figured I skipped that part when I read the effect, derp.

That is true

[Canopy Star - Eon Sphere]

The only problem being that you just can't be sure that your opponent is even going to Xyz, let alone use the same Rank as you. That said, it's generic (Limited Barian's style) and can therefore lead to interesting shenanigans.

 

My only gripe about this card is that it requires both players to participate. I would have preferred a card that was like Miracle Fusion for Rank-Up (as in, you'd need at least 2 monsters of the same Rank in your Grave) and maybe Number specific to avoid massive abuse, because this just makes it unreliable. Oh well never mind. Most decks these days will make Rank 4, but you'll just get that odd match-up where this is useless.

[Lonk]

Very nice buff actually.  If there are at least 2-3 Rank 4 Xyz Monsters in your opponent's Graveyard and there's a Rank 4 Number in your Graveyard, then the player can make Number 106 with 3-4 materials for no cost.  It's pretty cool.

[evilfusion]

Oh look...they printed that stupidly random Rank-Up Magic that no one likes.

 

And it's stupidly random. You grab Xyz of the same Rank from both Graveyards and Rank-Up into something else. The best thing about it is the ability to give the CXyz/Number C its Xyz Material effect, since you could be grabbing the base form.

 

It's a bit too conditional for my liking. You're only going to end up using it in a Rank 4 deck, because that's the only reliable Rank that has Rank-Up shenanigans. This card would be a funny topdeck (because of that restriction), but The Seventh One is a funnier topdeck, and doesn't rely on your opponent running the same Rank as you.

[Delibirb]

I love how Mkhol40 thinks "there's something broken about this card, i'm just not quite sure what it is yet" even though it isnt broken at all and is actually really bad.

 

Shows to go you why i'm subscribed to him; to laugh it his foolishness and poor opinions.

[newhat]

Fours, always fours. Take the fours, make the fives.

[Greiga]

If I want something to discard for Hope Dragun in rank 4.dek, I'll use any other RUM card. Even Argent Chaos Force since Beyond has Barian and Chaos Atlantis to go into.

Konami here killing the trees.

[Lonk]

Wait, [i]at least one monster in each grave[/i] as in, you can't just use monsters in your own grave?!

 

EWWWWWWWWWWW!

[evilfusion]

Wait, at least one monster in each grave as in, you can't just use monsters in your own grave?!

 

EWWWWWWWWWWW!

 

Yup. That's why it's kind of meh. You must use at least 1 from each player, but any number from there.

 

At least it's better than the anime version, which required 'C' Xyz, and still made you fulfill the proper Summoning conditions by treating the monsters as Level (Rank) + 1.

The fact it needs both players' Graveyards is annoying, but for that you get a Monster that's guaranteed 2 Materials (to the Seventh One's single material) and has a much wider range of targets to summon, even if you just count Rank 5s.

Also, the anime specially dealt only in Chaos Numbers, both for targeting and for summoning. Chaos Xyz were discounted. Having seen this, I'm hoping Quick Chaos also does CXyz.

[newhat]

I wonder if there's some way to abuse the fact that you can attach more than 14 Xyz Materials at once.

[Bringerofcake]

Also, is it just me or was this card called Admire DON Thousand in the anime?

C80's banish effect isn't once per turn, perhaps.

No, it was always Admire Des Thousand.

It was just you. It was never using Don Thousand's name, though it's easy to see why you thought so, considering its art is Don Thousand's emblem, and it used D- Thousand.
