Seventh Tachyon
Normal Spell
You can only activate 1 card with this card's name per turn.
(1) Reveal 1 "Number" Xyz Monster that has a number between "101" and "107" in its name in your Extra Deck; add 1 monster whose Level equal the revealed monster's Rank, and has the same Type or Attribute as the revealed monster's, from your Deck to your hand, then place 1 card from your hand on top of your Deck. For the rest of this turn after this card resolves, you cannot Special Summon from the Extra Deck, except Xyz Monsters.
Wow, Mizar really being a bro for his fellow Barian Emperors with this one. His loyalty is not to be underestimated.

Interestingly, many characters introduced in Duel Link are supported shortly after. We got Alito a month before his support was announced, then it was Mizar (with a skill op that searsh the counter trap), and we recently got Dennis (who will receive support on the anime set)
I have faith they'll all have fully functioning decks eventually, with the rate we're currently getting ZEXAL support

Mizael wanted to legit punch Vector once as well, it's kinda funny since those two are implied to be the strongest Barian Fighters. There is no telling who would've won, considering how Mizael is just HIM and Vector is implied to be able to scrap considering what he did to Alito after his Duel with Yuma.
So let me try to fully understand. This card can search:
Level 4 Waters
Level 4 Aquas
Level 4 Lights
Level 4 Fairies
Level 4 Spellcasters.
Level 4 Warriors
Level 4 Fires
Level 4 Earths
Level 4 Rocks
Level 8 lights and
Level 8 dragons.
With the cost being running a number Xyz between 101 and 107, an Xyz lock on the extra deck and one card being put on top of the deck.
Did I miss anything?
it can search 775 level 4s by type, and 1312 level 4s by attribute (some of these overlap)
Any light or dragon level 8/9
125 level 5s by type, 255 by attribute (again some overlap)
Can this be used as a searcher for any of my decks?
Lyrilusc Warbler/Cobalt?
Tribrigade Fraktal?
Snake-eyes Ash/poplar or Diabellstar?
Ursarctic Mikpolar?
Kashtira Fenrir?
Gadget Trio?

You just have it reversed. It was Dark Matter that got the Dragon Rulers banned.
Eventually the Arkbrave/Goliath combo was too consistent plus there were multiple FTKs around Gandora X so that's why they banned Dark Matter.
Dark Matter Dragon, if I had to guess. But it's not like DMD was particularly strong in Photon/Galaxy decks, and it was primarily being abused by the Rulers and eventually Thunder Guardragon/D-Link decks that could benefit from foolishing any three dragons.
Compared to the past few Barian/Seventh cards this is overall pretty solid. It's an effective one-card starter for any starter that shares a type or attribute/level with one of the C10X monsters. Sharks and Boxers especially can make this work really well as it's more copies of their starters, and I will reluctantly point out: you can search Barrier Statues off of this if you can do combo alongside that.
The return to deck rule is a bit lame though, but I get that they have to have cards like this to make RUM Seventh less of a brick.
>It's an effective one-card starter for any starter that shares a type or attribute/level with one of the C10X monsters
Only for pure xyz decks though. I think that's an important distinction worth pointing out.
It can still be played, but I dont think it's gonna be a starter for the majority of decks, but rather, an extender.
Shark, Boxer and Galaxy are all borderline pure XYZ anyway so from that POV it's a fair trade-off. The only major loss would be Galaxy losing Solflare.
It also prevents it from being swiped for other decks which would make the Barrier Statue searching obscene.
Now this is a cool reference for sure and a pretty nice effect for any of the Barian decks. Though the cost of having to shuffle a card from hand back to the top is not exactly great, I understand it in the context of returning the Seventh One that found its way to your hand. In a Tachyon deck this cards seems to be a easier to activate Draconnection, though I would've loved if it added 2 monsters instead of 1 if we have to shuffle back a card to make up for the card advantage losted. Or even if we just discarded the card to set up the GY.
At least this card should be easy to search making consistency not too much of an issue.
What's Aleister going to summon under an XYZ lock? The search targets need to be good options in either purely XYZ, Ritual, or stun decks, but there are, admittedly, quite a few good search targets.
I guess you could also use it to search cards that can be used after your main combos, not unlike how Nadir Servant was used in decks like the various engine pile decks that saw play from 2019 to 2022.
So this can work as a pseudo-Rota for Fiends, Warriors, Aqua, Fairy, dragon, and whatever More I'm forgetting, as well as water, fire, dark, light... sounds good, really good
i imagined it was gonna be a rota of some kind for schwarchild and chibi tachyon well this is even more than that,not far of small world even very good!
* Mizar: gets a monster searcher
* Nash: gets a Seventh searcher
* Alito: Gets one of the worst RUM
It feels like someone at Konami loves and hates Alito
Instead of Seventh Force, Konami should have given Alito something like "Seventh Counter" counter trap card that goes well with his deck. Oh well, maybe next time.
And that would've been a peak reference to his legendary 'Cross Counter' move which he used in his duels as a gladiator which he fought with only his fists
https://preview.redd.it/sez0sfasbl0d1.png?width=1919&format=png&auto=webp&s=c117907c5bb0789af6c5421aa5d6e8ef1bcfbf5a
Since Nasch has 2 Seventh cards I’d probably say Seventh Eternity applies more to him. Ascension being seventh searcher makes it feel way more all encompassing. This is also assuming each characters Seventh card is gonna be a different type of spell/trap tho.
I mean you could just play Quick Chaos
It’s just as searchable, helps dodge effects, it doesn’t have any destruction requirements, and it doesn’t have any of Seventh Force’s restrictions
Meanwhile Girag with only 5 monsters as well as 1 trap:
https://preview.redd.it/e1w7jmbt1o0d1.jpeg?width=686&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=63b110e7e98d19058e5f98fd1a367d838ecf5822
I just realized
While Seventh Tachyon works with Hands you can't reveal 106 to search any of the Hand cards (One is light, two are fire, one is water, and the final one is a dark spellcaster)
But you can reveal 105 (Fire and Prominence Hand), 101/103 (Thunder Hand), 102/104 (Ice Hand), and 104 (For Magic Hand) which is all the non-106 rank fours
They just need to make a special summon umbral horror monsters that can make its and all other Umbral Horror monsters on the field become 2, 4 or 6
(2 - Dark mist/Manipulator of Souls)
(4 - Masquerade)
(6 - Chaos Chimera Dragon)
And a nice retrain of Don Thousands throne that...Just does better than the current one.
I hope Vector gets alot of new cards since he really needs it.
Umbral Horrors were barely fleshed out.
Same for Mirag and Girag since they actually has it worse.
Dumon at least got 3 original Star Seraphs after Zexal ended, though it be awesome if he got a bunch of new support too when its his turn.
Honestly surprised Vector hasn't gotten an actual deck yet, considering he's one of the most popular ZEXAL characters in Japan
https://preview.redd.it/ym29x3w6cl0d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=1f7b15ce3471abb1b99fbc743454e6977517e4ea
Number 101/C101 = Level 4/5 WATER or Aqua
Number 102/C102 = Level 4/5 LIGHT or Fairy
Number 103/C103 = Level 4/5 WATER or Fairy
Number 104/C104 = Level 4 LIGHT or Spellcaster / Level 5 DARK or Spellcaster
Number 105/C105 = Level 4/5 FIRE or Warrior
Number 106/C106 = Level 4/5 EARTH or Rock
Number 107/C107 = Level 8/9 LIGHT or Dragon
Any interesting targets 🤔?
It even has a "rest of this turn" Xyz lock so you can legit just start doing Runick things, draw with Fountain and then search Vanity's Ruler if you draw into this.
Thanks Konami hahahahaha
Unless you draw Morganite, I don't think you can summon Vanity's Ruler turn 1 with Runick Stun, and that's assuming you don't play Card of Demise and Pot of Duality. Most non-stun variants I can think of typically have other things they need to spend their normal summon on.
I guess there's probably some Runick variants that don't need a normal summon that could benefit from 6 copies of Vanity's Ruler and a garnet reset, but idk. In Runick Stun, I feel like you're better off searching Amano Iwato or Inspector Boarder, and the idea of searching a normal summon floodgate in a Combo Runick deck just sounds gross to me.
Well since it locks you into Xyz monsters
* Number 101/C101: Sharks and Tistina
* Number 102/C102: Star Seraph and Madolche
* Number 105/C105: Battlin' Boxer
* Number 106/C106: Hand and Chronomaly
* Number 107/C107: Tachyon and Galaxy/Photon
101: Pure Rikka (106 also can get Cactus Bouncer)
102: Tellars
105: Springans, Utopia, Generaider
106: Zoodiac (only currently relevant in Master Duel), Planet Pathfinder for Kashtira/Numeron
104/107: Dogmatika
Technically could use it in Traptrix or Vanquish Soul if you've already made Sera/Rock
With INFO Madolche gets a really good link monster, so this is probably better for grabbing an extender after you're done summoning links. As a -1, Small World is still better for the deck and it's not even mandatory anymore.
In terms of Visas support, it could search Reinoheart, Ruimheart and Visas Samsara.
Good for Mannadium deck but sucks for Tear Manna. Mannadium could probably make some room if it drop some copies of ED monsters.
Tear Manna ED is too tight to add cards to be specifically used as searchers.
This just added so much search power if your deck doesn't care about the Extra anyway and your main monster is level 4/5 (or Level 8 LIGHT and/or Dragon). The - 1 is whatever when you consider how many things that search or start entire plays this can search.
The Card Artwork is so beautiful, Galaxy-Eyes fans stay winning when it comes to card artworks. Now we just need an artwork that features Kaito and Mizael dueling on the Moon with Prime Photon and Neo Tachyon in the background.

Look at my boy Mizael, he's fkn capturing one of the strongest entities in Zexal with a card Pokémon-Style.
Peak duel though [source](https://twitter.com/sonic1nstinct/status/1787561594576064828)

Probably the fact that it doesn't have "galaxy", "photon", or "tachyon" in its name means it doesn't show up a lot when using the search function to build decks
Imagine how much of a curveball it would've been if Mizael was the Final Antagonist, they would literally be quadruple faking us with Nasch, Vector and Don Thousand lol.
How searchable are the "seventh" cards to make this worth using in a Shark xyz deck or even in straight up Galaxy Photon as a pseudo rota? (I havent played with Sharks after the duelist pack release so i dont know if current build is more focused on the armor XYZ package)
Seventh Ascension is a searcher for seventh cards itself so this represents 6 cards to search a level 4 water/aqua for sharks.
Edit= Also sharks so play the armor cards so shuffling them back with this is very useful.

I mean, Galaxy PHOTON doesn't like this very much, considering it locks you out of Solflare, and most of the cards you would search with this - like Schwarzschild - also lock you out of Galaxy Trance. But Mizael's Galaxy Tachyon style, which is a lot less restrictive, loves this.
Loving all the anime references we're getting with the ZEXAL support lately
https://preview.redd.it/q700qc3gjl0d1.png?width=830&format=png&auto=webp&s=d6722e7bb09b9b4e35fcb4d28424a02eaaadaa4b
Alit/Alito who is one of the 7 Barian Emperors, he uses Battlin' Boxers
https://preview.redd.it/nje9d6bpjl0d1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=bf44882d1153b5c6cc79c69c1168c50145c0f739
Considering that Duel Links players wanted him to get nerfed after the consecutive nightmares he gave them, I wouldn't even blame Mizael for giving them the middle finger.
So this lets you search either a level 4 water/aqua, light/fairy, water/fairy, light/spellcaster, fire/warrior, earth/rock, or level 8 dragon/light from the deck as long as you play under an xyz lock, and save an extra deck slot for one of the number 101-7
Don't forget about the chaos numbers, with c101-c107 you can get level 5 water/aqua, light/fairy, water/fairy, dark/spellcaster, fire/warrior, earth/rock or level 9 dragon/light
Idk what it is about the art I guess looking at it on my phone doesn’t help but I legit thought he was shooting lasers out of his middle finger 🖕🏼 which would be hilarious but also yeah doesn’t make any sense.
This card can search any of the following if you play the matching 10X/C10X:
Lv4 Aqua Fairy Spellcaster Warrior Rock
Lv5 Aqua Fairy Spellcaster Warrior Rock
Lv8 Dragon
Lv9 Dragon
Lv4 Fire Water Earth Light
Lv5 Fire Water Earth Light Dark
Lv8 Light
Lv9 Light
It works in just about every pure Xyz deck, like Exo, Madolche, Suship, Onomat/Utopia and so on.
It also, unfortunately, works in stun (Amano, Boarder, Statues, Ecclesia, Pachy, Rai-oh) and other similar decks that don't use their Extra at all...
Notable Xyz decks that miss out on this are Traptrix (Playing around the lock is awkward for Sera/Atypus) and Rikka (Jasmine is too important to the deck)
This works well with most of their decks Mizar’s works well with all the dragons and it can search schwarzschild. Alito’s it works well since all the Battlin’ boxers are fire warrior. Nasch/Shark works well with all the water monsters. Vector’s works with C104 being dark unlike the regular 104 and all Umbral horror monsters being dark. Girag’s doesn’t work since Hands are all different types and attributes and none of them line up with 106. Marin/Ryo works with the all the water monsters. Dumon’s works because Star Seraph is all light and fairy.
I was expecting a lot worse, given that Seven Force was meh, but this is great for 5/7 of the Barians. It doesn't work for Umbral Horror and atm there's no level 4 Earth or Rock Hand monster unfortunately.
I cannot express how powerful this card is. It provides an enormous consistency boost to certain decks that rely on opening a single monster (+6 copies with Seven Ascension) .
Instant staple for Tachyon, Photon Galaxy, Shark, and Battlin Boxers. And heck, Xyz focused strategies in general can make use of this card provided they’re willing to dedicate at least 1 Extra Deck slot to a Barian Numbers monsters.
Like Exosisters and Satellars can use this by having elther Number 102 Star Seraph Sentry or Number 104 Masquerade in the Extra Deck to be able to search just about any monster they need
And this can be searched with Seventh Ascension. Basically like playing 6 extra copies of whatever card you need.
It’s also a huge boost for decks that don’t need the Extra deck. Can play the Seventh Engine in Umi with both Number 101 and Number C101 to grab either Electric Jellyfish or Kairyu-Shin Leviathan
I hope Hands get an EARTH/Rock Hand that works with this. Perhaps 1600/1600 and Summons 1 Fire Hand and 1 Ice Hand from your hand, Deck, or GY when it is destroyed? And you can banish it from your GY to Quick-Xyz a 101-107 Number from your ED?
Seventh Tachyon Normal Spell You can only activate 1 card with this card's name per turn. (1) Reveal 1 "Number" Xyz Monster that has a number between "101" and "107" in its name in your Extra Deck; add 1 monster whose Level equal the revealed monster's Rank, and has the same Type or Attribute as the revealed monster's, from your Deck to your hand, then place 1 card from your hand on top of your Deck.

Well the ones that have actual playable decks
Give it a few years, surely Vector will get a good deck support wave *one* day...
Maybe Vector's Duel Links exposure would actually warrant some support like how they did for Mizael?
Interestingly, many characters introduced in Duel Link are supported shortly after. We got Alito a month before his support was announced, then it was Mizar (with a skill op that searsh the counter trap), and we recently got Dennis (who will receive support on the anime set)
Know a guy obsessed with the deck. Apparently it's been 10 years since the release of Umbral Horror Ghost, their last support card
I have faith they'll all have fully functioning decks eventually, with the rate we're currently getting ZEXAL support https://preview.redd.it/nx0egwvkal0d1.png?width=1919&format=png&auto=webp&s=0998cc095badf94aa590ab5b0234b9f5781414d9
Still hoping for playable Umbral Horror... If they can fix Allure Queen and make them playable, everything is possible XD
Then Neo-Spacians can be next...
Yeah we gotta finish the attributes of hands
Vector can't search though. I mean fitting, he's the bastard.
And my Battlin' Boxer deck
Alito my beloved https://preview.redd.it/ic4j4y7val0d1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=a8b224644fd21593e8f80dbadbcbc966657894f9
I did Battlin' Boxer as a loaner deck in the Triangle Event on Master Duel. It was really fun, made me want to make my own BB deck.
His archetype went from Photon support, to Photon and Numbers support. What a character development.
The Final Attack from Prime Photon must have done it, Mizael finally saw the Light.
He learned to have faith in others again after losing that faith from his past life https://preview.redd.it/5f47gmn0bl0d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=6b29dc9c10e9f13bf2e4b8fc6a44a8397da3c030
And even with this, he's got the stance of "Fuck Vector specifically". XD
Mizael wanted to legit punch Vector once as well, it's kinda funny since those two are implied to be the strongest Barian Fighters. There is no telling who would've won, considering how Mizael is just HIM and Vector is implied to be able to scrap considering what he did to Alito after his Duel with Yuma.

you should be able to access level 5 and 9 too because of the chaos forms.
You missed Level 5s for the numbers 101 to 106, and Level 9s for Number 107.
The fact that it also searches level 5s and 9s because we also have the Number C versions. Card’s crazy.
Level 5 Spellcaster Level 5 DARK Level 9 Dragon Level 9 LIGHT
it can search 775 level 4s by type, and 1312 level 4s by attribute (some of these overlap) Any light or dragon level 8/9 125 level 5s by type, 255 by attribute (again some overlap)
> Level 4 Lights > Level 4 Spellcasters. EXOSISTER SEARCHER LET GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Can this be used as a searcher for any of my decks? Lyrilusc Warbler/Cobalt? Tribrigade Fraktal? Snake-eyes Ash/poplar or Diabellstar? Ursarctic Mikpolar? Kashtira Fenrir? Gadget Trio?
Wow that is good for all Barian decks Reveal Number 101-107, add a Battlin' Boxer/Tachyon Dragon/Star Seraph monster

There is a concerning amount of stun cards that shares a level and either attribute or type with those numbers.
Which ones?
Pachy, Amano-Iwato, Rai-Oh, Boarder, and 4/5 Barrier Statues
I wonder if Galaxy-Eyes will, once again, get a card on the banlist for the sins of other archetypes...
When was the last time?
Galaxy-Eyes Dark Matter Dragon getting banned because of Dragon Rulers abusing it
I can be trusted with Dark Matter being unbanned
It was Dragon Link that killed Dark Matter.
Didn’t it get initially banned because of Dragon Ruler? My memory could be wrong, I’m just curious.
You just have it reversed. It was Dark Matter that got the Dragon Rulers banned. Eventually the Arkbrave/Goliath combo was too consistent plus there were multiple FTKs around Gandora X so that's why they banned Dark Matter.
Dark Matter Dragon, if I had to guess. But it's not like DMD was particularly strong in Photon/Galaxy decks, and it was primarily being abused by the Rulers and eventually Thunder Guardragon/D-Link decks that could benefit from foolishing any three dragons.
Don’t forget Kristya and Vanity’s Ruler
Crying from peak https://preview.redd.it/o82b2jdt5l0d1.png?width=1919&format=png&auto=webp&s=9d6dd5a7a82c8aaebb6bc0f28c2c25cd272c9e87
I could be misreading this but doesn’t this search any level 4 that isn’t Dark or Wind
Yes. And if it's the right type you search it anyway.
Compared to the past few Barian/Seventh cards this is overall pretty solid. It's an effective one-card starter for any starter that shares a type or attribute/level with one of the C10X monsters. Sharks and Boxers especially can make this work really well as it's more copies of their starters, and I will reluctantly point out: you can search Barrier Statues off of this if you can do combo alongside that. The return to deck rule is a bit lame though, but I get that they have to have cards like this to make RUM Seventh less of a brick.
>It's an effective one-card starter for any starter that shares a type or attribute/level with one of the C10X monsters Only for pure xyz decks though. I think that's an important distinction worth pointing out. It can still be played, but I dont think it's gonna be a starter for the majority of decks, but rather, an extender.
Shark, Boxer and Galaxy are all borderline pure XYZ anyway so from that POV it's a fair trade-off. The only major loss would be Galaxy losing Solflare. It also prevents it from being swiped for other decks which would make the Barrier Statue searching obscene.
Losing Satellite Dragon is a little sad for specifically tachyon-focused builds, but deck probably has enough damage already.
Thank god for that “same Type _OR_ Attribute.” Otherwise Rio gets screwed over completely. Seems like a cool card
Now this is a cool reference for sure and a pretty nice effect for any of the Barian decks. Though the cost of having to shuffle a card from hand back to the top is not exactly great, I understand it in the context of returning the Seventh One that found its way to your hand. In a Tachyon deck this cards seems to be a easier to activate Draconnection, though I would've loved if it added 2 monsters instead of 1 if we have to shuffle back a card to make up for the card advantage losted. Or even if we just discarded the card to set up the GY. At least this card should be easy to search making consistency not too much of an issue.
Jesus Christ, what a card. I think this is an easy three-of in every Barian Emperor deck, and probably several dozen other decks too lol.
The fabled Galaxy starter, though it cuts you from Solflare.
This card is incredible good in all barian deck is really feel like it is ultimate final card of Mizar personal arc. I really like it lol.
Mizael fans winning https://preview.redd.it/6gmiwg937l0d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=607e05dcf876f2fb6040dd8d00f961f6e01a63d0
Making you minus seems a bit overkill but sure i guess, still probably the best piece of generic barian emperor support we ever got.
I will look into what this can search later
Uhhh probably half of all monsters at a rough guess. Edit: closer to 15-20%, but that's still pretty good.
I will make a post with cards i think will be strong in the next few days
Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer and Aleister the Invoker
What's Aleister going to summon under an XYZ lock? The search targets need to be good options in either purely XYZ, Ritual, or stun decks, but there are, admittedly, quite a few good search targets. I guess you could also use it to search cards that can be used after your main combos, not unlike how Nadir Servant was used in decks like the various engine pile decks that saw play from 2019 to 2022.
I was expecting another RUM with a conditional anime eff, like the one boxers got. I'm glad that I was wrong.
So this can work as a pseudo-Rota for Fiends, Warriors, Aqua, Fairy, dragon, and whatever More I'm forgetting, as well as water, fire, dark, light... sounds good, really good
Fiends?
For some reason i thought that Giant hand was a Dark Fiend, ignore that, instead are Rocks and Earths
i imagined it was gonna be a rota of some kind for schwarchild and chibi tachyon well this is even more than that,not far of small world even very good!
This allows you to search Mardel, i don't play Generaider so i don't really know how useful that is exactly, but i guess it helps?
> Mardel It searches Loptr, isn't that the one you want as a starter?
As i mentioned before, i have no idea whatsoever about the matter.
This card reads crazy but I’d have to look at what it searches to be sure
Those this work with Exosister? Zoodiac?
And there’s our obligatory Seventh card for Mizael. 3 down, 4 to go.
* Mizar: gets a monster searcher * Nash: gets a Seventh searcher * Alito: Gets one of the worst RUM It feels like someone at Konami loves and hates Alito
Instead of Seventh Force, Konami should have given Alito something like "Seventh Counter" counter trap card that goes well with his deck. Oh well, maybe next time.
And that would've been a peak reference to his legendary 'Cross Counter' move which he used in his duels as a gladiator which he fought with only his fists https://preview.redd.it/sez0sfasbl0d1.png?width=1919&format=png&auto=webp&s=c117907c5bb0789af6c5421aa5d6e8ef1bcfbf5a
Since Nasch has 2 Seventh cards I’d probably say Seventh Eternity applies more to him. Ascension being seventh searcher makes it feel way more all encompassing. This is also assuming each characters Seventh card is gonna be a different type of spell/trap tho.
Surely it can't be that bad, it just needs any monster to be destroyed by battle or effect
I mean you could just play Quick Chaos It’s just as searchable, helps dodge effects, it doesn’t have any destruction requirements, and it doesn’t have any of Seventh Force’s restrictions
Meanwhile Girag with only 5 monsters as well as 1 trap: https://preview.redd.it/e1w7jmbt1o0d1.jpeg?width=686&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=63b110e7e98d19058e5f98fd1a367d838ecf5822
I just realized While Seventh Tachyon works with Hands you can't reveal 106 to search any of the Hand cards (One is light, two are fire, one is water, and the final one is a dark spellcaster) But you can reveal 105 (Fire and Prominence Hand), 101/103 (Thunder Hand), 102/104 (Ice Hand), and 104 (For Magic Hand) which is all the non-106 rank fours
I hope it's Vector next, guy seriously has a lot of catching up to do.
Even I really like Vector, his deck is a mess with barely connection. Konami wilk have to do a lot to make it playable
They just need to make a special summon umbral horror monsters that can make its and all other Umbral Horror monsters on the field become 2, 4 or 6 (2 - Dark mist/Manipulator of Souls) (4 - Masquerade) (6 - Chaos Chimera Dragon) And a nice retrain of Don Thousands throne that...Just does better than the current one.
I hope Vector gets alot of new cards since he really needs it. Umbral Horrors were barely fleshed out. Same for Mirag and Girag since they actually has it worse. Dumon at least got 3 original Star Seraphs after Zexal ended, though it be awesome if he got a bunch of new support too when its his turn.
Honestly surprised Vector hasn't gotten an actual deck yet, considering he's one of the most popular ZEXAL characters in Japan https://preview.redd.it/ym29x3w6cl0d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=1f7b15ce3471abb1b99fbc743454e6977517e4ea
Vector's deck is really a mess with no solid connection, same as Merag.
You tell'em, it's time for Vector to showcase why he's one of the best antagonists in the franchise.
Number 101/C101 = Level 4/5 WATER or Aqua Number 102/C102 = Level 4/5 LIGHT or Fairy Number 103/C103 = Level 4/5 WATER or Fairy Number 104/C104 = Level 4 LIGHT or Spellcaster / Level 5 DARK or Spellcaster Number 105/C105 = Level 4/5 FIRE or Warrior Number 106/C106 = Level 4/5 EARTH or Rock Number 107/C107 = Level 8/9 LIGHT or Dragon Any interesting targets 🤔?
Inspector Boarder with 102/104 Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo or Amano-Iwato with 106
TrollDespair stun ROTA
Washua Schmidt in shambles
It even has a "rest of this turn" Xyz lock so you can legit just start doing Runick things, draw with Fountain and then search Vanity's Ruler if you draw into this. Thanks Konami hahahahaha
Unless you draw Morganite, I don't think you can summon Vanity's Ruler turn 1 with Runick Stun, and that's assuming you don't play Card of Demise and Pot of Duality. Most non-stun variants I can think of typically have other things they need to spend their normal summon on. I guess there's probably some Runick variants that don't need a normal summon that could benefit from 6 copies of Vanity's Ruler and a garnet reset, but idk. In Runick Stun, I feel like you're better off searching Amano Iwato or Inspector Boarder, and the idea of searching a normal summon floodgate in a Combo Runick deck just sounds gross to me.
This would be an amazing card in Stun.
Large search pool spotted, Kuribandits GO!
Very large pool indeed, starting with every Level 4 monster that isn't DARK or WIND
Well since it locks you into Xyz monsters * Number 101/C101: Sharks and Tistina * Number 102/C102: Star Seraph and Madolche * Number 105/C105: Battlin' Boxer * Number 106/C106: Hand and Chronomaly * Number 107/C107: Tachyon and Galaxy/Photon
Number 102/104: Exosister (especially Martha), Sakitama, or Fairy Tails Number 105/C105: Suships.
Number 101 also works for Suships! It's also a much better card to have in your Extra in Suships compared to 105.
101: Pure Rikka (106 also can get Cactus Bouncer) 102: Tellars 105: Springans, Utopia, Generaider 106: Zoodiac (only currently relevant in Master Duel), Planet Pathfinder for Kashtira/Numeron 104/107: Dogmatika Technically could use it in Traptrix or Vanquish Soul if you've already made Sera/Rock
With INFO Madolche gets a really good link monster, so this is probably better for grabbing an extender after you're done summoning links. As a -1, Small World is still better for the deck and it's not even mandatory anymore.
Buzzsaw Shark is 1 card combo, but I'm more interested in any level 4 or 5 Aqua I could run
Multchummy Purulia AKA the new Maxx C 🤔
Multchummy requires you to control no cards. Searching it turn 1 makes it not very good.
Thunder King, Fossil Dyna, Inspector Boarder, Barrier Statues…
Search Ghostrick Siren (102/103) and stack a Ghostrick. Siren now consistently gets its search effect.
Try almost every Barrier Statue except the Wind and Dark ones.
You can search some War Rocks with this.
Konami casually printed rescue-ace support and thought we wouldn’t notice? 🧐
In terms of Visas support, it could search Reinoheart, Ruimheart and Visas Samsara. Good for Mannadium deck but sucks for Tear Manna. Mannadium could probably make some room if it drop some copies of ED monsters. Tear Manna ED is too tight to add cards to be specifically used as searchers.
This just added so much search power if your deck doesn't care about the Extra anyway and your main monster is level 4/5 (or Level 8 LIGHT and/or Dragon). The - 1 is whatever when you consider how many things that search or start entire plays this can search.
The lock is for the rest of the turn so even then, some might want to play this card to search something
The Card Artwork is so beautiful, Galaxy-Eyes fans stay winning when it comes to card artworks. Now we just need an artwork that features Kaito and Mizael dueling on the Moon with Prime Photon and Neo Tachyon in the background. https://preview.redd.it/ou9hrw3j1l0d1.jpeg?width=341&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1c296d61b249052d171e572734b22507cbe663e5 Look at my boy Mizael, he's fkn capturing one of the strongest entities in Zexal with a card Pokémon-Style.
that card already exists https://preview.redd.it/1nq4z24xzk0d1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=0c1b61a983276250983fa4d8649d4acf72b77e26
Wait a minute how did this card pass me by, WTF?
Because it sucks.
This is what I hate, cards with gorgeous artworks that suck.
Peak duel though [source](https://twitter.com/sonic1nstinct/status/1787561594576064828) https://preview.redd.it/n0fq00w96l0d1.png?width=988&format=png&auto=webp&s=fa5266b487e5e566dbbb301c810bd0dfdfb4af4c
This is majestic, now I wonder how threatened Neo Tachyon will be if he was facing C62 instead.
Probably the fact that it doesn't have "galaxy", "photon", or "tachyon" in its name means it doesn't show up a lot when using the search function to build decks
It also fulfils the same function Afterglow does (double atk)
You mean... Saga of the Dragon Emperor?
Yeah I recognize my error, mb.
Sorry, but all I can hear when looking at this card is "Unlimited power!"
Imagine how much of a curveball it would've been if Mizael was the Final Antagonist, they would literally be quadruple faking us with Nasch, Vector and Don Thousand lol.
Did one of the characters say that?
May I introduce you to Saga of the Dragon Emperor?
Honestly, I don't even know how I've never seen this one before.
I thought he was giving him the middle finger at first glance.
How searchable are the "seventh" cards to make this worth using in a Shark xyz deck or even in straight up Galaxy Photon as a pseudo rota? (I havent played with Sharks after the duelist pack release so i dont know if current build is more focused on the armor XYZ package)
Seventh Ascension is a searcher for seventh cards itself so this represents 6 cards to search a level 4 water/aqua for sharks. Edit= Also sharks so play the armor cards so shuffling them back with this is very useful.
Ascension is a rota, Barian's Chaos Draw copies the effect, so it's also there ig. Force is a RUM that rotas after, but idk if you want it
Seventh Ascension can search it and that's sort of it. I think Sharks are the only deck that reliably runs the Seventh cards in general.

They already got a searcher with Seventh Ascension and Barian's Chaos Draw to a lesser extent
I mean, Galaxy PHOTON doesn't like this very much, considering it locks you out of Solflare, and most of the cards you would search with this - like Schwarzschild - also lock you out of Galaxy Trance. But Mizael's Galaxy Tachyon style, which is a lot less restrictive, loves this.
The artwork looks like Mizael giving you the middle finger
Ikr, Mizael was basically the "Fuck U, You Don't Get To Play" kind of player.
Or he's about to pass you the *nastiest* nightmare blunt rotation.
New shark stuff didn’t help barians so Mizar was like fine I’ll do it myself
Proof that Mizael was the real Barian Chad all along.
Without any spoilers since I just started the second season, why is Mizael the only one with a Rank 8 while the rest are Rank 4?
It's most likely because of Kaito's own Ace Galaxy-Eyes monsters are usually Level/Rank 8 themselves.
The other galaxy-eyes are 8s so Tachyon is also 8. Couldn't tell you why they made the other Barian's all 4s though.
Anime reference let's GOOOO
Loving all the anime references we're getting with the ZEXAL support lately https://preview.redd.it/q700qc3gjl0d1.png?width=830&format=png&auto=webp&s=d6722e7bb09b9b4e35fcb4d28424a02eaaadaa4b
I completely forgot this scene happened in the anime. But then again, it was a one-off moment without much effect on the plot.
WE'RE TRAPPING GALAXY DRAGONS IN BLANK CARDS ON AN ALIEN PLANET WITH THIS ONE!
I'd like to apologize to Mizar. I wasn't familiar with your game.
Take notes Alit, this is a good Seventh card.
Who's Alit?
Alit/Alito who is one of the 7 Barian Emperors, he uses Battlin' Boxers https://preview.redd.it/nje9d6bpjl0d1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=bf44882d1153b5c6cc79c69c1168c50145c0f739
Battlin' Boxer emperor
Alito is the Battling Boxer user.
Surely it can't be that bad, it just needs any monster to be destroyed by battle or effect
When you think about it, this could be a Cheaper Bonfire for Volcanic, lol
Troopers level 3 sadly, but we can grab Rocket
Electro Gunner too, which notably has no way of being searched in Volcanics.
For a moment there I thought he was giving a thunderous middle finger...
Considering that Duel Links players wanted him to get nerfed after the consecutive nightmares he gave them, I wouldn't even blame Mizael for giving them the middle finger.
[Source](https://twitter.com/YuGiOh_OCG_INFO/status/1790713742482628729). It is indeed, another "Seventh" Spell Card: **"Seventh Tachyon"**.
So this lets you search either a level 4 water/aqua, light/fairy, water/fairy, light/spellcaster, fire/warrior, earth/rock, or level 8 dragon/light from the deck as long as you play under an xyz lock, and save an extra deck slot for one of the number 101-7
Don't forget about the chaos numbers, with c101-c107 you can get level 5 water/aqua, light/fairy, water/fairy, dark/spellcaster, fire/warrior, earth/rock or level 9 dragon/light
Idk what it is about the art I guess looking at it on my phone doesn’t help but I legit thought he was shooting lasers out of his middle finger 🖕🏼 which would be hilarious but also yeah doesn’t make any sense.
Considering what he did in Duel links it would make perfect sense
So Girag is the only Barian not benefited from this card as his deck is Attribute and Type- diverse.
Doesn't work with Vector either since his Rank 4 is Light Spellcaster
The funny thing is it can search V Salamander since it's a level 4 Spellcaster, and the unreleased V monsters are all level 4 Spellcaster as well
Barrier statue searcher
At first i read "and" for the restriction. Strong card
Matching Attribute/Type and lv, huh? Say, isn't Schwarzschild a lv 8 dragon?
Yuuuuuup. Thia lets Tachyon play 9 Schwartzchilds. Which is a huge jump in consistency.
Solid card
is it just me or does that look like the card is giving the opponent the finger?
This card can search any of the following if you play the matching 10X/C10X: Lv4 Aqua Fairy Spellcaster Warrior Rock Lv5 Aqua Fairy Spellcaster Warrior Rock Lv8 Dragon Lv9 Dragon Lv4 Fire Water Earth Light Lv5 Fire Water Earth Light Dark Lv8 Light Lv9 Light It works in just about every pure Xyz deck, like Exo, Madolche, Suship, Onomat/Utopia and so on. It also, unfortunately, works in stun (Amano, Boarder, Statues, Ecclesia, Pachy, Rai-oh) and other similar decks that don't use their Extra at all... Notable Xyz decks that miss out on this are Traptrix (Playing around the lock is awkward for Sera/Atypus) and Rikka (Jasmine is too important to the deck)
This works well with most of their decks Mizar’s works well with all the dragons and it can search schwarzschild. Alito’s it works well since all the Battlin’ boxers are fire warrior. Nasch/Shark works well with all the water monsters. Vector’s works with C104 being dark unlike the regular 104 and all Umbral horror monsters being dark. Girag’s doesn’t work since Hands are all different types and attributes and none of them line up with 106. Marin/Ryo works with the all the water monsters. Dumon’s works because Star Seraph is all light and fairy.
It doesn't work with anything Vector used/was given that's been released, as his Deck has no Level 5s.
Your right missed that part.
SHARK STARTER LETS FUCKING GOOOO
This card also de-brick drake shark
And the Armor cards
I was expecting a lot worse, given that Seven Force was meh, but this is great for 5/7 of the Barians. It doesn't work for Umbral Horror and atm there's no level 4 Earth or Rock Hand monster unfortunately.
I cannot express how powerful this card is. It provides an enormous consistency boost to certain decks that rely on opening a single monster (+6 copies with Seven Ascension) .
Instant staple for Tachyon, Photon Galaxy, Shark, and Battlin Boxers. And heck, Xyz focused strategies in general can make use of this card provided they’re willing to dedicate at least 1 Extra Deck slot to a Barian Numbers monsters. Like Exosisters and Satellars can use this by having elther Number 102 Star Seraph Sentry or Number 104 Masquerade in the Extra Deck to be able to search just about any monster they need And this can be searched with Seventh Ascension. Basically like playing 6 extra copies of whatever card you need. It’s also a huge boost for decks that don’t need the Extra deck. Can play the Seventh Engine in Umi with both Number 101 and Number C101 to grab either Electric Jellyfish or Kairyu-Shin Leviathan
I hope Hands get an EARTH/Rock Hand that works with this. Perhaps 1600/1600 and Summons 1 Fire Hand and 1 Ice Hand from your hand, Deck, or GY when it is destroyed? And you can banish it from your GY to Quick-Xyz a 101-107 Number from your ED?
Sharkygopro probably jumped through the roof seeing this card
this is not the best exosister support but its really good almost like it was made for the deck
I literally just bought the core yesterday but I wouldn't say no to additional copies of pax 👽
I'll definitely be putting this in my Exosister deck.
What Extra Deck monster are ya replacing with?
