2 Level 3 monsters
If this face-up card on the field would be destroyed, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card instead. Once per turn, during the End Phase, if this effect was used this turn: Target 1 card on the field; destroy it.

So basically chaos agent guide has 2 ways of blocking attacks, and now, this, black luster soldier - envoy of the beginning, giga ant brilli-ant and sea serpent leviair is now mandatory for decks using tour guide from the underworld.

But outside of those decks, how useful has this card been ? to me, very

thoughts ?

Its a must in karakuri cuz sometimes ur stuck with a komachi and a strategist in hand and your only move sometimes is a rank 3 exceed

it's a must in pretty much anything...it's not like you can't get rid of it without minusing, but it's hard. it lets you plus stupidly or at least stall. better than 17 or leviair imo

It's one of the 5 xyz's that I field in all my decks (utopia, roach, leviair, leviathan, zenmaines). Besides the tour-guide summoning Sangan and waiting for opponent to ram that sangan, tour-guide to zenmaines is the best opening moves (and one of the most annoying ones to opponents)you can pull off. I still laugh at people who open tour and summon leviathan; yes, a 2500 beater, but full with holes (no effect, 0 defense, can't direct attack once it lost it's 2nd material).

Question is would i run it in a deck that doesn't run tour guide? I probably would try, but not 100% sure. I just ran a quick brain scan of my decks, and i realized that i have tour guide in all my decks. The tour is that good. Let's start the vote if it should be semi-limited or plainly limited next format.

it probably should. honestly it isn't that broken since it only does one specific thing, but it literally is in everything and something that abuseable always gets hit

I am tired of seeing it in every single duel xD and when i say every duel..i mean every duel..
I am also tired of seeing tour guide everywhere lol my deck doesnt run either and it does fine

Well zenmaines IMO is a staple in any deck that runs tour guide Or goes rank3 xyz. Good staller + it's destruction effect is a great plus. With you opponent wasting resources well you build up your combos and defense , you have a great advantage over your opponent.

I run it in 80% of my decks

i dont run it at all cause i do not need it to win

I'm sure if I decided not to run Reborn I could win too but that's no reason not to run it

This card, for me at least, is the new best Rank 3 Xyz. I tested someone today that was playing a Sacred deck, and he managed to get out 3 of these during the duel. Luckily, I was using Glad Beasts, and I had a Zenmaines of my own on the field, so I was safe. I still hate minusing myself for the sake for getting rid of it. The OCG is currently a control format, and cards like this are only slowing down our game even more. I don't mind that, though.

this card says: One Turn Kill? over my dead body, a Two Turn Kill Atleast and esspecially if you also run a trag, fader or gorz. i sometimes am stuck with a all monster hand in the first turn, and i want to play conservative untill i can swing for game, so i start of with a zenmaines, and watch what they will do. it has 2100 defense, so (most) of the lvl 4 beaters dont overrun it. together with stun cards they are forced to waste their spell and traps on it, which is good for your (possible) otk. in general its hard to get rid of so this tour guide heavy format its kinda a staple

Cyber Dragon + This into Chimeratech = umad bro?

But in all seriousness, one of the best walls out there, really hard to kill without leaving yourself open, and when it's out of materials you can always hunter it.

It may be well for defense, but it still has its defaults, since you have to destroy a card in the end phase, and sometimes your opponent can play around it.

Warrior lady, sorc,bls, caius,tempto, nuff said lol

also gem knight citrine, dark core, different dimension gate, skill drain, forbidden chalice, double tool c and d, junk archer. DAD, nuff sed :3

^^ Exactly, but opposing that, it is still useful when used properly, and everything is about timing.
