LIGHT

Rank 5

Fairy/Xyz/Effect

 

2 level 5 monsters

This card's effects can only be applied/resolved while it has Xyz Material. This card cannot be destroyed by card effects. At the end of the Battle Phase, if this this card attack or was attacked: Target 1 card your opponent controls; Destroy it. During each of your End Phases: Detach 1 Xyz Material from this card.

ATK: 2600 DEF: 1700

 

I've been seeing this card quite a bit recently. With  decent effect, this card puts in a little work with high ATK and protection from effect destruction. However, the part of the effect that destroys cards your opponent controls only happens at the end of the battle phase, which makes it on the slow side. Discuss.

I like this card, but honestly, with so many decks nowadays being able to pump out 3000+ ATK monsters with relative ease, it's lost its luster considerably.

 

Not only that, but immunity to effect destruction isn't as good as it used to be. Castel, SHARK Knight, and even Fairy Tail Snow White and Kaguya are quick and easy non-destruction outs.

 

Last and arguably the least, the end of Battle Phase card popping effect is much too slow in this format. If it happened at the end of the damage step, it would be a bit better at least.

 

But I digress. It's a cool card, but not as good as it used to be.
