It's got the second-highest ATK of the first Xyz in the US but its effect gives it the same rating as the others because you have to detach an Xyz Material to activate it. Thankfully, even monsters with piercing Battle Damage can't hurt you if they attack this card but it must be destroyed by battle and sent to the Grave to bring out another copy.  All he needs is another Reptile-Type monster, including another copy of himself and the two of them inflict piercing Battle Damage and at 1900 ATK for a Level 4 monster, that's well worthy of 4/5!  You at least get to bring back any one of the monsters used for its Tribute Summon not just its current Tribute Summon but you have to wait until the End Phase.

Since Xyz Monsters are fairly easy to summon, I can give this 2/5 stars because it doesn't require much in exchange for letting you destroy an opponent's monster. This one almost goes a bit further than Xyz Energy because it can destroy any card on the field and doesn't require you to detach any Xyz Materials but takes longer to activate. If it could stop attacks and stay on the field when attacked without an Xyz Material, I'd rate it higher but it can't negate more than two attacks at the moment so it's stuck with 2 out of 5 stars. It doesn't provide much of a boost for monsters but can save itself from destruction by any means twice.

Doesn't matter that his effect includes himself because that's a mere 1200 ATK, which is still poor. Tenshin will NOT be building from this guy. He's got some DEF and his effect makes him Level 4 while in Defense Mode, which is where you'll literally want him for that Synchro Summon or Xyz Summon Maybe these blustering winds can carry this card away because it's outclassed by Axe of Despair, which applies 1000 ATK to the monster while equipped. An easy way to Xyz Summon a Rank 4 Xyz monster or Synchro Summon a monster but that's all I can say for this because that's about all its text has available for you.

Well if you're desperate for another monster to bring out via Shining Angel, at least this guy goes to Defense Mod when attacked and has some DEF to probably stop the attack. The only thing he's good for in uses is to make for an easy Rank 3 Xyz Summon because he's pitiful everywhere else you look. Easy Rank 2 Xyz Summon but that's really it because of how specific the monsters are that this card brings out. Another card for an easy Rank 3 Xyz Summon but nothing more as he's just as bad as Feedback Warrior for everything else.

I'll say he's got a horrible pendulum blade....and level....and stats! This pendulum won't swing back and forth but straight into the trash can, where it should be. Why call it an eternal drought if the card's effect only lasts until it resolves? Texas is having a worse drought than this right now so I'm sure they wouldn't mind this drought. It got improved from its anime version but neither version is worth running. You don't see this being advertised on TV do you? Gravity Bind and Level Limit - Area B can't stop its attacks and it destroys any face up Defense Position monster it attacks without damage calculation but Drillroid goes one better.
