The board wipe effect is really powerful, and the equip search is really powerful for letting you get an extender immediately, like DDR or Living Fossil. The equip spell makes me feel like you want this card to stand on its own as a boss monster, though, rather than a generic board wipe slash extender.

This is a fun card, and I'm theorizing how I'd run it in a lot of different decks right now, but I can't tell if that's the way you're intending the card to be played. The effects are just generically really good without many meaningful restrictions to force it to be played as a boss monster in its own right, and while that's certainly something you can do, it's not really how I think it'd see play.

There not that powerful @Thomas★Zero always makes his cards balanced this is the Era of Power Creep this ain't no 5D's and plus we have Zeus with is way more OP since it sends them to the GY without Destroying them.

I'm not asserting these cards would break the game, I'm just saying that this is a solid generic Link monster that would likely used, but not as a boss monster, as I believe the intent of the card was.

Zeus also has a stricter summoning condition, generally needs to be summoned in Main Phase 2, and the wipe is two-sided. Gilford the Legendary Lightning is an easy to summon, generic, one-sided board wipe that also serves as an extender. I was just pointing out that this felt to me like it's probably not what Thomas intended.

1.) Well it still is destrution theres alot of protection or cards that want to be destroyed.

2.) It only board wipes if you use 3 monsters to Link Summon it.

3.) It's effect is mandatory so your opponent could negate and destroy it.
