Hello Pojo Fans,
 
Elder Entity N'tss has been a hyped Fusion monster, almost as hyped as it's predasessor: Elder Entity Norden.
 
A Synchro and Xyz for N'tss to be Summoned, she can't be summoned the same broken way Norden was with Instant Fusion. However, sending monsters to the grave isn't a hard thing to do, and can help avoid grave-triggering effects off destruction if you have stolen your opponents monsters. N'tss gives you Norden's same effect, however, it's once per turn, from the hand, and no effects are negated. While the grave may be better to source a Level 4 or lower from at times, getting the monster's effect is much better. Also, Norden was once, N'tss is once per turn. At 2500 ATK you may have N'tss for a few turns. She's a LIGHT, making her fodder for removal, and she's a Fairy-Type, giving her all kinds of support after she leaves the field. If she hits the grave you can destroy any card on the field. Only one N'tss is allowed per turn, but with the new rules that shouldn't be a problem.
 
The new rules make it hard for you to summer her at all. You need a Link Monster to open up slots for an Xyz and a Synchro monster to exist. Then, you have to commit resources to send to the grave to Summon N'tss. If you can't do that, or if your grave is not an option, then N'tss is not an option.
 
Without the Link Format rules, N'tss would be as hyped of a card as she was before. Now, she's been nerfed because of the rules.

The sister of Elder Entity Norden has arrived, say hello to Elder Entity Ntss.

Elder Entity Ntss requires a Synchro monster and a XYZ monster and can only be Fusion Summoned from the Extra Deck by sending the Fusion Materials to the GY, no Polymerization needed. Idk how easy this will be to summon, especially in Link Era. Getting a Synchro and XYZ out at the same time can be hard unless you use something like PSY-Framelord Omega one turn and XYZ summon the other. Once per turn, you can Special Summon a Level 4 monster from the hand. Easy Rank 4 plays or Level 8 Synchro plays, but I don't think two Extra Deck monsters is worth one. Also, if this card is sent to the GY, from anywhere, you can destroy a card on the field. Play your Mega Zaborgs and Infernoid Tierras ready, you got some popping to do. You can only Special Summon Elder Entity Ntss once per turn, but I doubt you will summon more than one anyways.

I feel they made this card to overcompensate for Elder Entity Norden, who was very powerful. I feel they did too much and you are likely only seeing this played in Monarchs and Infernoids only due to the destruction effect, which is still pretty good.

Advanced Rating: 3/5

This card likely could/would be broken if not for the last line of text, that you can only Special Summon of these a turn. If you could bring out 3, you could have FIVE Monsters on the Field, in one turn, and what you could do with five Level 4 Monsters opens up lots of OTK/FTK possibilities, no? Note too how unique this summoning is here too, one generic Synchro Monster, and one generic XYZ Monster, which one might think would be enough to not have to warrant the stipulation at the end, but I digress. Light is still good, 2500 attack on a Level 4 is awesome, and you don't need Poly to Summon this, so those are all pluses immediately. Once a turn, you can Special Summon a Level 4 Monster to your Hand. (In my opinion, from the Deck, then Hand, and finally Graveyard is the best order, but this also helps keep the card from being overpowered). Also, the card is a 1-for-1 when destroyed (assuming it goes to the Graveyard) because you then can target and destroy one card on the Field. I like this, a lot.

Elder Entity N'tss
 
The first time I heard of this card was when Monarchs were all the rage and the effectiveness of Mega Zaborg against Burning Abyss or basically any Extra Deck dependant Deck... Cough Paleozoics... was something to behold... For the OCG (although from what I follow of the OCG, which is admittedly very little, to me it certainly appeared so).
And because of Elder Entity N'tss, going second and opening up with a successful Mega Zaborg "Bomb" is potentially even better than going first.
Sadly, for Monarchs their Threat level is now rather low, and the inclusion of Elder Entity N'tss to a Monarch Extra Deck does little to actually increase their overall strength and effectiveness against anything Meta.
 
Now, lets look at how we Summon this "Beastie"...
First we require 1 Xyz monster and then 1 Synchro monster, of which the Xyz requirement is rather easy since currently the entire game revolves around Xyz'ing this or Xyz'ing that. However because Synchro's are played less often, getting a Synchro monster will be a little more difficult. Then, once we have acquired the 2 necessary types we are able to simply send those 2 to the Graveyard without requiring Polymerization or proxy, helping to even up the cost of Summoning.
Then once during a turn you are able to Special Summon a Level 4 monster from your hand, although note that it says "Level 4" so it could potentially be restrictive for those times that you don't actually have a Level 4 to Summon via the effect.
Most naturally, (as I see it) you will then proceed to either Xyz with this for a Rank 4 or Synchro with it for a Level 8, although it could be noted that it does have a decent enough attack, and the destruction effect can be nice to hold until your opponent's turn, as long as you don't Synchro with it... That is unless you actually want to destroy something with its effect right away.
 
As for the destruction when sent to the Graveyard effect, this in many ways is its most valuable effect, for as mentioned above, when you Summon Mega Zaborg (and then resolve the effect) you then get to send that many Extra Deck monsters from your own Extra Deck to the Graveyard, and for each Elder Entity N'tss sent you will be able to destroy 1 card, which means that the potential cost of Summoning that Mega Zaborg is very easily repaid in full. And any effect that will send this from the Extra Deck to the Graveyard will activate its effect, this means that Gale Dogra can have a use and although Nekroz are pretty tame right now (due to the Banlist), they are still able to use Elder Entity N'tss via Nekroz Kaleidoscope to Summon Nekroz Unicore, adding another option to that Summon other than sending Herald of the Arc Light.
 
And most importantly of all, Elder Entity N'tss CANNOT be Summoned via Instant Fusion, so no ability to cheat there!
The only option available to lessen the cost to Summon this would be to steal an opponent's monster with Mind Control or Enemy Controller. But chances are you'll be the one needing to provide the Synchro monster.
 
Rating: 3.5. The fact that the destruction effect triggers when sent to the Graveyard means that you can simply send it straight from your Extra Deck to the Graveyard or detach it from an Xyz and get the effect, making it very difficult to actually miss out on this part of the effect, which to me is the cards most valuable one. And this is the reason I have given this score, since when and where it will be used will certainly be one where the use of this effect is of importance. The Summoning of Elder Entity N'tss is probably always going to be a bit difficult, especially with Links. The ability to Special Summon a Level 4 from hand could have some applications, although I suspect that Summoning this will in many instances simply be a stepping stone onto a larger play.
