Hello Pojo Fans,
Finishing up this week we've got Number 71: Rebarian
Shark.
Not much on ATK, an okay defense for a Rank 3.
Generic materials needed, WATER and Dragon-Type
support backing it. Rebarian Shark is an Xyz monster
to support other “Number” Xyz monsters, as well as
the “Rank Up” strategy. Moving a material to a
different Xyz monster is cool, and being able to
reborn another “Number” Xyz monster is a great
effect all in one. You can do this twice, meaning
you essentially have two Monster Reborns for your
own “Number” monsters. When Rebarian Shark hits the
grave you can move a “Rank Up” spell to the top of
your deck. Would be better if you could get the card
off Rebarian Shark's destruction. Rebarian Shark
feels like a monster to get to a better monster you
already used. Some monsters to name a few for this
card's effect would be Big Eye, Utopia, Blackship of
Corn, Baguska (once released) and Silent Honor ARK.
If you have a Link Monster on your field you can Xyz
Summon this card, then go after another Xyz “Number”
in your grave.
There are better Rank 3 monsters that are generic
and produce better effects for your strategy.
Advanced-1.5/5

We end this week off with the other new Number
monster, which supports Rank-Up-Magic cards and has
art similar to Rank-Up-Magic Barians Force. The
opposite of Number 17, Number 71: Rebarian Shark.
Rebarian Shark is a Rank 3 requiring two Level 3
monsters, easy enough, though Terrortop and Tour
Guide are both limited. Once per turn, if this card
has an XYZ material, you can target a Number XYZ
monster in your GY, except a Rebarian Shark, and
Special Summon it as well as attack a material on
Rebarian Shark onto that revived Number monster.
Reviving monsters is cool and all, but there are so
few good Number monsters, and I don't that many are
worth reviving, and those that are might not be able
to fit this in. If this card is sent to the GY, from
anywhere, you can place a Rank-Up-Magic on top of
your deck. The only Rank-Up-Magic you might care to
Top Deck is The Seventh One, otherwise you would
prefer to search it. Rank-Ups are mediocre at best
because of their brick potential, so why couldn't
this just go ahead and search them?
Card is cool, but that doesn't make it great. I
kinda do like the idea, just think the execution
could of been better.
Advanced Rating: 2.5/5

Number 71: Rebarian Shark
Rounding out this weeks lot of new cards is Number
71: Rebarian Shark, a rank 3 Xyz with 0 attack and
2000 defence. Rebarian Shark comes in the form of a
water dragon needing 2 level 3 monsters as material.
And is Rebarian any good? Let's take a look. First
up, once per turn if Rebarian has material, you can
special summon a Number Xyz from your grave and put
one of Rebarian's materials on it. A pretty good
effect mid to late game, that'll facilitate, at
best, a #39 Lightning play.
Rebarian's second effect is that when it's sent to
the grave, it doesn't matter how or where from, you
can put any Rank-Up-Magic spell on the top of your
deck. A really strong, yet niche, card effect. Not
many decks need to use the RUM spells these days,
with Utopia the Lightning being the only ranked up
Xyz monster seeing any competitive play at all right
now.
Rebarian Shark is a nifty and neat little monster,
letting you toolbox a few things late game, but
sadly there are better options for revival and
ranking up monsters right now. If it'd been released
a year ago, it would've been a different story. But
it is what it is, and in its defence, it does have
quite nice artwork.
Advanced 2/5 It's a very niche monster right now.
Most probably working best in a Utopia deck that's
filled with Rank-Up-Magics.

Number 71: Rebarian Shark, closes the week. This
is a Rank 3, Water attributed, Dragon Monster, who
is XYZ Summoned with two Level 3 Monsters. 0 attack
is never good (despite whatever effect(s) may be
included, but 2000 defense isn't so bad on a Rank 3.
So, once a turn, if this card has Material, you can
Target a Number XYZ from your Graveyard, and Special
Summon it. If successful, one Material from that
card gets added to this one. I'm not entirely sure
why that's necessary, as this doesn't state you have
to discard one to activate this effect though. If
this card is sent to the Graveyard, (no
specification as to how) you can add a Rank Up Magic
card from your Deck and place it on top of your
Deck. Here's the problem with that...Rank Up just
isn't a very playable or viable thing. It can be
done, and it's nice to have an asset in that
arsenal, but this guy just doesn't do enough on his
own, or even with that effect to make me want to use
Rank Up anything.
Rating: 2/5
Art: 4.5/5

This is one of the new monsters released from the
latest tins, and I actually quite like this, for
quite a number of reasons, but firstly I'll start
with the artwork, it looks pretty cool, but what I'd
suspect that most have not noticed is the stars in
the background of Rebarian Shark... Although I
suspect that you will notice them when I point out
that those stars are the exact very same ones that
are found in Rank-Up-Magic - The Seventh One... And
the card that I suspect the game developers had
specifically in mind when creating this card.
Number 71 is extremely easy to Summon, 2 Level 3's,
which although harder thanks to Limits on Speedroid
Terrortop and Tour Guide to the Underworld, can
still be easily made via something like Sacred
Crane.
However since Number 71 has 0 ATK, you'll always be
Summoning this in DEF and then you'd use this effect
to revive one of your Number Xyz's from the
Graveyard, with a material which Rebarian Shark will
graciously provide.
And once Rebarian Shark is sent to the Graveyard,
which just like with Elder Entity N'tss can also be
from the Extra Deck, you are able to place 1
"Rank-Up-Magic" card from your Deck onto the top of
your Deck, and which brings me to the card I
mentioned earler, Rank-Up-Magic - The Seventh One...
Because lets be honest, this card seems to be the
perfect support for such an awesome card that barely
if ever sees any play. Hopefully this might be able
to do just that... One day at least.
Rating: 2.5. Since the first effect requires you to
have a Number Xyz in your Graveyard to begin with,
you'll practically never Summon this without being
able to gain that effect, that is unless you really
need the "Rank-Up-Magic" card. Basically this means
that you'll be Summoning this later game and it is
quite possible that Xyz Reborn does what this card
does but better for the most part.
Any Deck that can easily Summon Rank 3 will be able
to easily include it if they wish, but this cards
playability future may well depend on what if any
other "Rank-Up-Magic" cards are released in the
future. |
