Rank-Up-Magic Astral Force
Normal Spell
Target the 1 Xyz Monster you control with the highest Rank (your choice,
if tied); Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 monster with the same
Type and Attribute as that monster you control but 2 Ranks higher, by
using it as the Xyz Material. (This Special Summon is treated as an Xyz
Summon. Xyz Materials attached to it also become Xyz Materials on the
Summoned monster.) During your Draw Phase, if this card is in your
Graveyard, instead of conducting your normal draw: You can add this card
from your Graveyard to your hand. You cannot Special Summon during the
turn you activate this effect, except by the effect of "Rank-Up-Magic
Astral Force".

It's a bit less specific than past Rank-Up-Magic
cards and you can get it back next turn but isn't less specific enough
to warrant a high rating. |

Not only does it boast 3100 ATK and non-specific
materials but it cannot be targeted by your opponent's effect except
during your Main Phase 2 but if you don't enter that phase, they can't
target him at all! |

Downerd Magician

2 Level 4 Spellcaster-Type monsters
During your Main Phase 2, you can also Xyz Summon this card by using a
Rank 3 or lower Xyz Monster you control as the Xyz Material. (Xyz
Materials attached to that monster also become Xyz Materials on this
card.) This card gains 200 ATK for each Xyz Material attached to it. If
this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle
damage to your opponent. If this card attacks or is attacked, after
damage calculation: Detach 1 Xyz Material from this card.

A real downer for sure as while she gains
200 per Xyz Material she has and you can use a Rank 3 or less Xyz
Monster to bring her out, she loses 1 Xyz Material each time she battles
and the only thing that even tries to make up for it is the fact that
she deals piercing battle damage. |

Evilswarm Exciton Knight
LIGHT / Fiend-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK 1900 / DEF 0
2 Level 4 monsters
Once per chain, during your Main Phase or your opponent's Battle Phase,
if your opponent has more total cards in their hand and their side of
the field than you do: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card;
destroy all other cards on the field, also your opponent takes no
further damage this turn (this is a Quick Effect).

Don't get too excited about him as he has
to wait for specific conditions to wipe out all other cards on the field
but even after that's done, your opponent cannot take damage, which
defeats the purpose of using the effect in the first place! Demise does
this too for 2000 LPs but doesn't hold you back once the effect is used. |

other cards on the field to the hand. Your opponent cannot activate

At least your opponent cannot respond to the effect
but it has to give up nearly all of its Xyz Materials to do it in most
cases. |

Bujintei Tsukuyomi
LIGHT / Beast-Warrior-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 2300
2 Level 4 LIGHT monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; send your

this card you controlled while face-up leaves the field because of an
opponent's card effect: You can target Level 4 Beast-Warrior-Type "Bujin"
monsters in your Graveyard, up to the number of Xyz Materials this card
had on the field; Special Summon those targets. You can only control 1 "Bujintei
Tsukuyomi".

It'll survive best in Defense Mode with that 2300
DEF but the fact that I have to throw out all cards in my hand to draw
twice, even if just one card, is pretty bad and it'll only get to
replace itself with up to 2 of its friends and that's if the effect
isn't used. |

Ghostrick Dullahan
DARK / Fiend-Type Xyz / Rank 1 / ATK 1000 / DEF 0

target 1 other "Ghostrick" card in your Graveyard; add that target to
your hand.

A multiple use Shrink effect, gains 200 ATK per
Ghostrick you have out and if sent to the Grave by any means, it gets
one of its friends from your Grave. Sub par at best, especially for its
stats. |

It doesn't need any specific Level 8 Xyz Materials
and with help from its friends, can trigger one or both of its effects
but it won't be a common occurrence. |

target 1 monster on the field with 0 ATK; destroy it.

It can get rid of monsters with 0 ATK but why would
you bother wasting an Xyz Material for that when it's already weak
enough to be destroyed in the next attack? Furthermore, unlike the
stronger and easier-to-summon Reptillianne Medusa, the ATK loss doesn't
last. |

The easiest way you're going to get this guy
on the field is through two Rank-Up Magic cards (or one if it's Astral
Force) but you'll be keeping it in Defense Mode regardless and that
could cost you later with cards like Fairy Meteor Crush. |

LIGHT / Psychic-Type Xyz / Rank 5 / ATK 4000 / DEF 1800
4 Level 5 monsters
When an opponent's monster declares an attack: You can destroy all cards
your opponent controls. If this card has "Number 69: Heraldry Crest" as
an Xyz Material, it gains this effect.
● Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then
target 1 face-up Xyz Monster your opponent controls; this card gains ATK
equal to that face-up monster's original ATK, and if it gains ATK this
way, this card's name becomes that monster's, and it gains that
monster's original effect. These effects last until the End Phase.

It's pretty powerful for a Rank 5 monster but is
also difficult to summon, even if just using a Rank-Up-Magic card. Much
of the effect still needs its first form to be the Xyz Material though. |

Monster's attack, this card gains ATK equal to that monster's Rank x
500.

It may start out weaker than the more widely used
version but with Xyz Monsters like its adult form being so popular, it's
not hard for it to match or even surpass the ATK of its foes and unlike
its adult form, this guy doesn't self destruct if it's attacked without
Xyz Materials. |

Summoned monster your opponent controls in face-up Attack Position;
attach it to this card as a face-up Xyz Material. You can only use this

card would be destroyed, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card
instead.

It has to give up (in most cases) everything it has
to steal a monster and can save itself using that monster but
Relinquished can too and not only has better support but doesn't have to
give up anything to get the other monster, which can be any monster your
opponent controls. |

controls; attach it to this card as a face-up Xyz Material. When this
card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard while it has Xyz Material:
You can Special Summon this card from your Graveyard, then gain Life
Points equal to the original ATK of this card. "Number 101: Silent Honor
ARK" must be in your Graveyard to activate and to resolve this effect.
If this card is Special Summoned this way, it cannot attack for the rest
of this turn.

Most likely, once your opponent sees what this guy
can do, they'll try to get rid of it but in order for it to return to
the field by its effect, it needs the original in the Graveyard and even
when it is and this guy comes back, it can't attack that turn. |

Well since Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon isn't worth

this guy lets you draw 1 card each time it runs over an opponent's
monster. |

A sort of better version of Treeborn Frog as it has
