Sirinimbus (From Clouds To Crust, This Bird Only Brings Some Fast Action Floods)

[Black D'Sceptyr]

 

[spoiler=Sirinimbus: Info]

WATER/Winged Beast-Type Xyz Effect Monster/Rank 7/2900 ATK/2000 DEF

 

Lore: 2 Level 7 WATER and/or WIND monsters

You can also Xyz Summon this card by using a WIND monster with 300 DEF and a WATER monster you control as material, except "Sirinimbus". Once per turn (Quick Effect): You can detach 1 material from this card; banish 3 monsters on the field, including this card. During the next End Phase after this effect was activated, Special Summon this card, and if you do, your opponent chooses 1 monster that was banished by this effect (if any) to attach to this card as material, then you can Special Summon 1 banished monster with 300 DEF, but it gains 700 ATK/DEF.

 

MOAR GENERATION FISH SUPPORT 

 

THAT IS SOME

 

 

But now to this Xyz. Yes, it can be very generically Summoned, but doing so while running a WIND monster is the hard part of the equation. The HERO monsters can do this but their Extra Deck space is tight already without the borderline D.D. Escaper on steroids being shoehorned in. Same with T.G.s and their Booster Raptor. Gusto Griffin's meant to be discarded, Speedroid Dominobutterfly is meant to be in the Pendulum Zone, and the other cards are mostly meant to be unsleeved in the binder.

 

So that leaves the three cards that were meant to be used for this: Skystarray, Airorca and Flyfang. Best bet is Airorca, since that normally can be used to destroy cards by banishing the Calamari Trio of Monster Types (Sea Serpent, Fish, and Aqua), then banishing itself till your next Standby Phase. But with this, it can be merged with any WATER monster (and with Pacifis, Silent Angler and Crystron Rosenix, that's never been easier) to bring you a far more immediately disruptive presence, one that can also eat your opponent's monster if need be. It takes stuff out, three at a time, and it's non-targeting.

 

What's not to love? Besides the fact this gives Mermails an increasingly board-breaking new toy. 

 

Until the next card, reviews, revelry, you know the drill. BD'S, signing off.
