Just go on the internet and tell lies?

Discard one card. Receive a level 1-3 tuner or a level 4.
The level 1 increases a symphonic's level by the number of cards in your hand
The level 2 changes a symphonic's attribute
The level 3 tuner changes a symphonic's type
The level 3 pendulum SS's a symphonic from grave on NS. It's also a scale 7 if you're into the whole pendulum summoning gimmick.
The level 4 is a flip monster that searches any symphonic from deck, and can copy any other symphonic's effect and name onto itself.
The level 4 can banish itself from the grave to SS a differently named banished symphonic.
The 1-3 tuners can banish themselves from grave to do their effect on a symphonic on field.

Now go forth and synchro summon.

Kozmotown

Once per turn: you can Target 1 of your banished “Kozmo” monsters; return it to the hand, and if you do, lose LP equal to its original Level X 300. Once per turn: You can reveal any number of “Kozmo” monsters in your hand; shuffle them into the Deck, then draw cards equal to the number of cards shuffled into the Deck. If this card in the Field Zone is destroyed by a card effect; you can add 1 “Kozmo” card from the Deck to your hand.

EDIT: Yeah, it's 100% Space Oz. The Wizard of Oz (the book) was originally published in 1900.

Well it has Oz in the name and the blurb on the article says

and since the Wizard of Oz was published in 1900 it seems like a pretty good guess that its based on the Wizard of Oz.

We're always hiring!

I haven't touched a Yugioh card in years, and the last time I even played a game, it was the 2009 World Championship game on the DS.

When I went to the weekly tournaments, I had a crappy Dark Paladin deck that was just legit no good, but God dammit, that was my favorite card and I was going to play it.

On the DS, I had a Raviel deck I saw in an old Beckett magazine, and then swapped to a pretty good Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon deck I had found online.
I actually thought about buying the cards for that deck not too long ago, since I missed playing card games, but most of the key cards for it are either banned or limited now.

Stardust Assault Warrior
Level 6 WIND Warrior-Type Synchro Effect Monster
ATK 2100
DEF 1200
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
You can only us the (1) effect of “Stardust Assault Warrior” once per turn.
(1) When this card is Synchro Summoned, if you control no other monsters: You can target 1 “Junk” monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it.
(2) If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent.


Numbers 93: Kibo’Ou Hope Kaiser / Number 93: Utopia Kaiser
Rank 12 LIGHT Warrior-Type Xyz Effect Monster
ATK 2500
DEF 2000
2 or more “Number” Xyz Monsters of the same Rank with Xyz Materials
(1) Once per turn: You can Special Summon any number of Rank 9 or lower “Number” monsters with 3000 or less ATK from your Extra Deck, up to the number of different Xyz Materials attached to this card, but their effects are negated (you can only Special Summon 1 monster per Rank), then detach 1 Xyz Material from this card. You cannot Special Summon other monsters during the turn you activate this effect, also halve all battle damage your opponet would take for the rest of this turn.
(2) This card cannot be destroyed by battle or effect while you control another “Number” monster.



Enmaryuuou Red Daemon Calamity / Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity is next month’s V Jump Promo to coincide with High Speed Riders!

Man these cards are.... Utopia Kaiser is so loving ridiculously easy to get out. Because Rank 4 Toolbox needed another toolset.

Kaiser seems like it'd take up way to much extra deck real estate to ever be useful in rank 4 and the "has to have material" clause makes it so that 101, the best number, is crap to use with it.

Not really. You summon and pop 101's effect, then use it to summon Kaiser with another R4.

Goddamnit more Junk support.
Xyz keeps getting amazing generics and synchro gets shafted with (old) archetype support.

Actually worse. You can't special summon the turn you do it, so you can't get it out on turn 1. And you can't use its effect until it's been on the field for a turn.

In short, much like Yugioh Zexal. It has a lot of impressive looking things but it's actually just crap.



Big numbers, that's what makes a duel exciting right?

EDIT: I'm misreading its effect actually.

Assault warrior is really neat. I liked Stardust Warrior in general and he's very similar without the Synchro monster requirement. I mean poping back a Junk Synchron lets you set up for a level 4 as well. But it can also retrieve a Junk Synchro monster, I think. Maybe they have restrictions.

So R4 is, again, the best option for Kaiser.

If you are correct, that it's really not much of a limitation at all, since the likely thing is that this is going to be the newest R4 beaststick summoner; hell, with advanced XYZ summoning you can still enjoy the effects of some monsters.
If I am correct than it is at least a limitation, albeit a really inelegant one, as it forces you to build your deck in a sliding scale, with some of the steps probably only coming into play with Kaiser's effect.

Kaiser is trash for toolbox play. The special summoning, XYZ material and number clause combined makes it way to unweildy. It's going to need a dedicated deck.

If Stardust Assault Warrior was level 5, I would be bouncing off the drat walls since Junk Doppel is my favourite deck. But, as it stands, this thing is kind of garbage unless you're using the non-synchron Junk monsters. The only time I ever go into lv6 synchros are with quickdraw+level eater/token, and that wouldn't even work here. Besides that, there are no good generic lv9 synchro monsters.

Don't tease me with junk support and break my heart, Konami.

MiddleOne

How is it junk? You're supposed to do exactly what you just described with it. It encourages you to play more of Junk Warrior, Junk Archer and Level Eater since they together with our new Stardust give you another easy way to rapidly access Quasar.

Skeleton Mom
Aug 11, 2008

Extra deck space is extremely tight. Adding a whole 2 or 3 more cards to it for a card that's really situational to summon is out of the question. That situation being, having exactly the means to go into lv6 with no other cards left over.

Let's say I have Junk Synchron & Doppelwarrior in hand, Level Eater in grave. This gives me the means to go into Assault Warrior, then so long as I don't summon doppeltokens I can bring back Junk Synchron, Level Eater, then go for a lv8 Synchro. Accel Synchron can do the same thing, though, while milling Jet Synchron from the deck and potentially making Stardust Warrior or RDA Abyss with the same cards.

I guess it's not a bad card, but it's outclassed.

Still though Konami needs to stop it with all the goddamn Junk/Synchron support. It's fun stuff and wouldve destroyed the Meta right before R4 toolboxes became a thing, but goddamn it isnt making synchro as viable as xyz.

I want more and better synchro generics, more and better tuners. None of these archetype locks. More monsters with 'this cannot be used as an xyz material'. More low level synchro plays. Going for L6-8 is getting boring.

Also Eidos is the best Vassal to ever Vass.
