Galactic Overload Review 5 1st half of XYZ

Well technically about 1/4th of the Xyz but meh get over it lol. Neway, Hieroglyphs work quite well with their new Dragoon and Dragun You can now build the deck using only 2 of the Normal Hieroglyph. I normally though include 1 Alexandrite Dragon and 1 Eleciter Dragon (On DN it's Wattdragon but I don't trust that yet because I don't think you should be allowed to special summon a 2500 beater from your deck when a Dragonfly is destroyed (If you can great that gives Watts some interesting Rank 6 possibilities thanks to Lightray Sorcerer and because of how Dragonfly doesn't need to hit grave to activate you can quite easily build a Macro Watt deck...). This review will stretch from Dragon Witch, Protector of Dragons until Photon Streak Bouncer (Which if the card really is Wattdragon yay).


FIRST CARD:

Dragon Witch, Protector of Dragons
DARK
Level 4
Spellcaster/Effect
While this card is face-up on the field, your opponent cannot select Dragon-Type monster you control as attack target. If this card on the field is destroyed by battle or a card effect, you can send 1 Dragon-Type monster from your hand to the Graveyard instead.
1500/1000

Hmm so first off sexy art is sexy. She's like Lord of D. but protects the dragons from being attacked... And if she would be destroyed by any (ANY) means you can drop a Dragon from hand to save her. Sounds sorta bad right? Well here's the thing, she's level 4, Spellcaster, Dark yay. She also sends not discards to stop potential super rejuvenation abuse... but she can send White Stones or searched Poke Dra's. Essentially she can protect her self from destruction while stopping all attacks on other monsters... meaning equip something to make all opponents attack any other Dragon... summon her... opponent cannot Attack while that dragon or equip is on field. Alternatively give her a safe zone... and then switch her to defense and stall.

NEXT CARD:
Absorb Pod
EARTH
Level 3
Rock/Effect
Flip: Destroy all set Magic and Trap Cards on the field. Each player draws a number of cards equal to the number of their cards destroyed by this effect. During this turn, you cannot set Cards.
600/500

This card essentially is a flip summon Heavy Storm it's drawback though is terrible unless you have an active Appropriate then it can become a plus 10 or more. The problem being that you cannot set Cards that turn... meaning his effect is best when you set a ton of backrow that activates when destroyed... note: this is a "Jar" monster. Right now have you thought about a deck where all you do is set a ton of backrow that activate when destroyed then set this... you haven't me neither... run it with Hand Trap monsters ftw. BTW:
Vanathor: and never consider this again
Vanathor: EVER!
Yuginshin: ...
Yuginshin: sowwy...
Yuginshin: I didn't mean to bother you with it...
Vanathor: I...I can't stay mad at you...
Vanathor: to moe
Vanathor: way to moe
Yuginshin: ...

NEXT CARD:
Crimson Blood Ogre
DARK
Level 4
When this card is successfully Special Summoned from the Graveyard by the effect of an Undead-Type monster, you can activate this effect by selecting 1 Undead-Type monster you control. Remove 1 Xyz Material on the field, and increase the selected Monster's Level by 1, and have it gain 300 ATK.
1700/1000

so huh... I don't understand... This card and Blue-Blooded Oni are meant to work together I can see that but... what do you do with level 4 and level 5... They just dont' mesh together somehow... There must be some way this is meant to work... Zombie Master can spam this out... Il blud is level 6 so that doesn't work... But we do have Koa'ki Meiru Ghoulungulate at level 5... that can be special summoned by Pyramid Turtle... so Turtle to Ghoulungulate... Zombie Master to Zombie Master to Oni... um... then you'd overlay... detach one master to get back the Master again... to get back Crimson... ugh see it's just not gonna work out... I'll figure it out and in March I'll post the deck here when I work out how this should work... comment here if you have ideas.

NEXT CARD:
Flame Tiger
FIRE
Level 4
Beast/Effect
 If this card is in your Graveyard, and you control no monster, you can activate this effect during your Draw Phase instead of conducting your Normal Draw. Special Summon this card from the Graveyard. If this card Special Summoned by this effect is removed from the field, it is removed from play.
1800/0

This card works really nicely with T.G. because of it's typing and how they don't really need a Draw Phase because that's substituted with Horns and Searching. So a free 1800 beater from grave... that can either be Horned or used for Xyz giving T.G.'s a new option for summons. This card also works nice as a revivable tribute target in an Iron Wall deck... (Tis is going in my Iron Wall deck lol just kuz).

NEXT CARD:
Wandering Mercenary Force
WIND
Level 4
Warrior/Effect
When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, you can activate this effect by Releasing this card. Select 1 face-down Defense Position monster your opponent controls and destroy it.
1700/1000

Wow so we get a new Exiled Force... pretty much you kill one monster by battle and you can then tribute it to kill any other face-down monster they have... Did anyone notice that they are all equipped with cards... Axe of Fools, Pestilence, Cursed Bill, Cursed Armaments, Emergency Provisions, and Draining Shield...

Anyway unremarkable monster is unremarkable...

COVER CARD:
Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon
LIGHT
Rank 8
Dragon/Xyz/Effect

3x Level 8 Monster
When this card is successfully Xyz Summoned with "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" as Material, negate the effects of all other face-up cards on the field. Once per turn, activate this effect by removing 1 Xyz Material from this card. Remove all Xyz Material your opponent controls, and during this turn, this card gains 500 ATK for each card removed this way. Furthermore, during that turn this card can attack a number of times equal to the number of Xyz Materials detached by this effect.
4500/3000

Well well well we finally meet... BTW I summoned him this morning was awesome... Anyway this card is nasty and also ironically Hieroglyph support... First off 3 Level 8 Monsters seems like a daunting task for just 1 monster but if your opponent controls an Xyz with both Materials and 2500 ATK or less you win the duel when he's summoned... think about it... detach both he goes up to 5500... swings twice... 11000-2500 is still 8500. but of course if anything is bigger or has less materials this card loses a bit more value... but against an Xyz swarm  this card becomes a game ender... by taking the materials of multiple Xyz monsters he gains lets say 2000 ATK by taking away a total of 4 materials up to 6500... but he can now attack 4 times.. oh... so he runs over all of those monsters... lets say they all had 2500 ATK... 4000+4000 is game... if it was Hope then opponent takes full damage anyway for game trollol... but this card is limited in places it can be summoned... a Deck that powers out level 8's like Fallen Angels mabye but easiest is a 3 card combo in Hieroglyphs... Dragrad, Tefnut or an on field Hieroglyph from last turn... and either Nephthys or Shu depending on situation... if opponent has a monster Nephthys if they don't but have backrow Shu... use Shu/Nephtys to tribute the free Normal level 8... summon Dragrad to get it back... dragrad tributes Shu/Nephthys to make itself level 8 while Shu/Nephthys get the second Level 8 Normal... Overlay for NGEPD murder go!!!

NEXT CARD:
No. 32 Ocean Biting Dragon - Shark Drake
WATER
Rank 4
Sea Serpent/Xyz/Effect
Once per turn, when this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, you can activate this effect by removing 1 Xyz Material from this card. Special Summon that destroyed opponent's monster to your opponent's field in face-up Attack Position. The monster Special Summoned with this effect loses 1000 ATK. Moreover, during this Battle Phase, this card can attack once more in a row.
2800/2100

Nice card is nice... it takes 3 Level 4's but is the single strongest Rank 4 monster to date. Not only that but it can murder for fun any monster it wants too... runs over Stardust Dragon... brings it back... kills it again for 1000 more damage the second time... Or better yet if you control any other monsters... Kill something bring it back... Kill another monster... have your extra monster run over the brought back monster for extra damage lol. Really nice card is Really nice... essentially it loves triple Call of the Haunted to revive the material it used in order to get an extra Attack in... It also likes Xyz Reborn because it only needs 1 Material to deal nearly 4000 damage. good strong beater is good. new target for Gadgets to summon if they want.

LAST CARD:
Photon Streak Bouncer
LIGHT
Level 6
Warrior/Xyz/Effect

2x Level 6 Monster
When the effect of a monster your opponent controls is activated, you can remove 1 of this card's Xyz Materials to activate this effect. Negate the activation of that effect and inflict 1000 Damage to your opponent's Life Points. This effect can only be used once per turn.
2700/2000

Quite possibly the Best Rank 6 Xyz monster to date... first off it's 2 Veilers with large legs and does a little extra damage on the side... but it's also a 2700 beater that can be summoned in Hieroglyphs really easily... onetime I had a field of REDMD, Photon Streak Bouncer, and Gaia Dragoon... opponent took the piercing... flipped Morphing Jar got negated for an extra 1000... swung in for 2700 for game... It's just a really good card and looks awesome I would happily run this.
