BTW, today is Ultimaya Tzolkin's birthday.

It's pretty bad to summon normally, and the only other way, guardragons, ruins REDMD plays, and is still hard to do

Oh konami why you did this to us

 

So instead making it support Tzolkin, its basically a much harder to summon yet easy to counter Tzolkin

I like its marker arrangement, it points to 2 Zones in both the ED and MM Zone.

Sadly, it doesn't look that great. Spending on a Link4 including a Synchro, just to Summon a beater Token seems unimpressive. I guess Needlefiber --> float into a Synchro can assist as as shortcut but you still have to wait a turn for it.

And here I was hoping for a dimensional link dragon (kind of like dark rebellion, clear wing, etc). But yeah the card is pretty underwhelming. Not worth the investment  (for now at least)

Well, all you need is a Synchro to Link ladder and it does not interferene with REDMD plays, it has to be picked over the Synchro you would summon with the Link 2 Guardragon (which is kind of bad, though it does open up slots and adds tokens during either players turn to use for Link Summoning, which is, fair enough, not worth it).

Well this could make Scapegoat viable in Synchro Decks for summoning this where you just tune one of the goats with any tuner to make a Synchro, go into this and then banish something to get a high powered token.

Congratulations, Koomy. You gave Ultimaya the same treatment you did to the Legendary Dragons to make an objectively worse version.
You gave it a much harder Summoning requirement of a LINK-4 needing a Synchro, you gave it an effect that is harder to pull off and costs banishing a Synchro from the Extra Deck to get a Token that only has that Synchro's stats, and you made it so it is only protected if its Token is still on the field, a Token that has no way of protecting itself.
Was it too much to ask for a Link version of Ultimaya instead of...this?

This is one of the few cards that would actually have been better off without the hard OPT. you've already got to invest 3+ slots in the ED to synchro monsters just to use this thing, i think it would have been fine without the restriction. On another note, can't the supreme king gates help bring this out pretty easy?
