Shadow of the Divine

[Atypical-Abbie]

I made a Link Monster that supported Synchro Monsters some days ago called Aquamech Wavestorm, so here's one that supports Xyz Monsters. I may do one for Fusion Monsters too, we'll see what happens. Anyway, this card has a similar first effect and it Special Summons as well, though in quite a different way. I also noticed that the rules were updated and stated that posting Link Monsters in advandced was fine, so I'll be doing that from now on.

2 or more DARK monsters
You can treat Xyz Monsters used for this card’s Link Summon as 2 Link Materials. Once per turn, during either player’s turn: You can banish 2 Xyz Monsters from your Graveyard; destroy all monsters your opponent control, and if you do, inflict 500 damage to your opponent for each monster in this card’s Linked Zones. When this card is destroyed by your opponent’s card (by battle or card effect): You can target 1 of your banished Xyz Monsters; Special Summon that target, and if you do, attach this card to target as an Xyz Material.

... I would like to say the effect is too strong, however that would be a lie. The card is just gorgeous, artwork-wise, in terms of it being a boss monster, the position of its markers (having a wing-like appearence), the typing and its balancing (come to think of it, banishing 2 xyzs for its effect sounds excessive and like an unnecessary restriction, considering it is hardly protected, completely dead outside of xyz plays and extremely expensive).

I don't know if banishing 2 is, I thought that for a powerful effect that clears the field, deals damage and still allows you to do a full attack with no other restrictions would be pretty hard. One has to consider that Tokens exist, for example cards like Fires of Doomsday and Corrupted Keys makes it much easier to Summon it, and of course there's the use of other Link Monsters (though right now it's limited I'm aware.)
