2 Warrior and/or Machine Effect Monsters, including at least 1 Tuner
Once per turn, during the Main Phase or Battle Phase, you can (Quick Effect): Immediately after this effect resolves, Synchro Summon 1 Synchro Monster using only monsters this card points to. If this Link Summoned card is destroyed by battle and sent to the GY, or if this Link Summoned card you control is destroyed by an opponent's card effect and sent to your GY: You can Special Summon 1 "Junk" Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck. (This is treated as a Synchro Summon.)

Welp, we got the effect revealed.
Personally, I think this is great for stuff like Junk Doppel, which, if my locals are anything to say, hasn't slowed down with the advent of Links.

I like the float effect, even if it's on the reactive side. That in combination with its non-OPTed Synchro Summoning effect it allows you to inflict extra damage during the Battle Phase and finish games. It can also be fun for disruption during the opponent's turn by dropping monsters with on-Summon or Quick Effects, namely the aforementioned Crystal Wing, as well as the Black Roses. Heck, would be funny to Summon Clear Wing, negate something, then follow up into Crystal Wing, all during the opponent's turn xD

Honestly... this card is just outstandingly mediocre. The quickplay synchro summon only really has any real impact with cards like Trishula or King Calamity, except you can't do that because both of those options require 3 materials. Crystron Phoenix exists, but also that's highly match-up dependent for its impact to really mean anything. The float is only proactive if you suicide-ram it, but even that's the sort of desperation play you only do if you're absolutely out of options.

 

Overall a disappointment; Needlefiber outclasses it as a Synchro-support Link Monster in almost every way, even materials.

Yeah this is mostly fully inferior to the Cryston one.

Materials that are less generic, (Tuners would have been enough).

"destroyed by an opponent's card" means you don't even get trigger search value out of a quick Black Rose, which seems like one of the best plays this would have.

It helps Accel Synchro plays (mainly Shooting Star and Stardust Warrior, because the others either require 3 monsters or like Crystal Wing, can be made without this card), but how is this better than the Cryston Link? it's not like being a Junk monster really gives it a lot of support.

 

I expected some sort of pros & cons relationship with the other Link that aids Synchro. At least it has better arrows than the HERO one, if nothing else, I guess xD
