Taylor Gorrell Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Where LV Monsters left off, the Xyz Monsters pick up with RNK Monsters! They work much like their LV counterparts, but they make it harder to Xyz them normally, but who needs to? Here's some tidbits on them: 1. All of them are 2-Material Xyzs. 2. All of them can be Xyz Summoned normally, but as they Rank up, they become much more picky with their Materials, making Summoning them through their past forms much easier. 3. Every time they Special Summon upgraded forms, they are treated as Xyz Summons. Rush Dragon RNK4 Rank 4 WIND Dragon/Xyz ATK:2200/DEF:1200 2 Level 4 monsters Once per turn, when this card battles: Detach 1 Xyz Material from this card: This card’s attacks cannot be negated this turn. During the End Phase of a turn when this card destroyed a monster by battle and has no Xyz Materials: You may Special Summon 1 “Rush Dragon RNK6” from your Extra Deck and attach this card to it as an Xyz Material (This Special Summon is treated as an Xyz Summon.). If you have a Level 6 monster in your hand when you activate this effect: Attach that card to the Summoned “Rush Dragon RNK6” as an Xyz Material as well. Rush Dragon RNK6 Rank 6 WIND Dragon/Xyz ATK:2800/DEF:1700 2 Level 6 WIND monsters If this card was Special Summoned by the effect of “Rush Dragon RNK4”: Once per turn, when this card battles: Detach 1 Xyz Material from this card: Your opponent cannot activate Spell or Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step. During the End Phase of a turn when this card destroyed a monster by battle and has no Xyz Materials: You may Special Summon 1 “Rush Dragon RNK8” from your Extra Deck and attach this card to it as an Xyz Material (This Special Summon is treated as an Xyz Summon.). If you have a Level 8 monster in your hand when you activate this effect: Attach that card to the Summoned “Rush Dragon RNK8” as an Xyz Material as well. Rush Dragon RNK8 Rank 8 WIND Dragon/Xyz ATK:3500/DEF:2500 2 Level 8 WIND monsters of the same Type If this card was Special Summoned by the effect of “Rush Dragon RNK6”: When an attack is declared involving this card and an opponent's monster : You may detach 1 Xyz Material from this card: Your opponent cannot activate cards or card effects until the End Phase of this turn. Rank Up! Normal Spell Card Send 1 face-up "RNK" Xyz Monster on your side of the field to the Graveyard. Special Summon 1 Xyz Monster from your Extra Deck that is written in the card text of the sent monster, and attach an appropriate monster from your hand or Graveyard to that monster as an Xyz Material, if possible (This Special Summon is treated as an Xyz Summon.). Rank Down!? Quick-Play Spell Card Select 1 face-up "RNK" Xyz Monster on the field to activate this card. Return the selected card to its owner's Extra Deck and Special Summon 1 Xyz Monster from the owner's Graveyard to their side of the field with the same name but lower "RNK", and attach any appropriate monsters from your Graveyard to that monster as Xyz Materials,if possible (This Special Summon is treated as an Xyz Summon.). Discuss this amongst yourself, and add any RNK Monsters you think of here! Link to comment
Giga Hand Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 You claim they're easier to summon via their weaker counterparts, I'm not seeing it for RNK 6. You don't exactly need a competitive deck to be able to deal with it before it drains itself of its materials, and short of cards like Xyz Gift you'll be lucky to summon RNK 6 through it at all, which can be summoned much easier with Alector and something else, maybe Raiza. Even RNK 8 isn't impossible to summon, though to be fair it is probably easier to summon it via RNK 6. Link to comment
Kodamλ Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Most Lv monsters must be special summoned by the previous, and if they are not special summoned, the card becomes broken. Also, it is too easy to summon RNK 8 as RNK 6 would only have 1 Xyz Material. Not sure how that could work. Very good idea though. Want to see more! Link to comment
Taylor Gorrell Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Are there any changes I can make to make it seem less broken, more useful, or more realistic, depending on your POV? Link to comment
Kodamλ Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 If for RNK 8, it writes: This card can only be Xyz Summoned by the Effect of "Rush Dragon RNK 6". Or something like that. Link to comment
Taylor Gorrell Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Well, I had wanted to avoid that kind of stipulation, but I can guess I can work with semi-Nomis for these things. Link to comment
Kodamλ Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Not sure it will work, but it will make the cards slightly less broken. I wouldn't add it for RNK 6 though. I could see these in Dragunity (maybe) Link to comment
Taylor Gorrell Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Although it should be kept in mind that the Rush Dragons are basically akin to Dark Lucius or Allure Queen. If you Xyz Summon these guys regularly, all you have is a beatstick that is vulnerable to Traps and other effects. Link to comment
Taylor Gorrell Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 I have finished the second set of RNK Monsters: the Spiral Swordsmen!
