Heroic Champion Excalibur

LIGHT
Warrior/Xyz/Effect
Rank 4
2000/2000
2 Level 4 Warrior-Type monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 2 Xyz Materials from this card. Until your opponent's next End Phase, the original ATK of this card is doubled.

Cover card for Return of the Duelist and part of the new Heroic archetype. No pics yet. Though 4000 atk for just two Level 4 Warriors is amazing, the fact that it requires both materials for only 2 turns worth of power is kinda bad. I hope cards like Xyz Unit will ease this drawback. Still I think the drawback is worth it for a finisher like this.

I hope it looks like Excalibur from Soul Eater. Awwww

I would love it if it looked like that. But at least this is limited to warriors. That's what might bring warriors back to life. It's a 4k beater that could be game. I'd honestly save it as a last resort.

Terrible card. ._. It's situational at best, tbh, even in decks like HEROs and Sams, which have better uses for their monsters.

Pro card, definitely worth maining in E-Hero's and Sams

Heroic for HERO !

4000 atk Sound good but Costing 2 materials makes Blade ninja better (1 material for 4400 if empty field on opp field)

But atleast the effect lasting till opp turn

These new Xyz's suck.

Problem is something having that low amount of attack power just isn't enough. I see this being used to run over stuff you usually couldn't take care of otherwise.

Let discuss like this:
- LIGHT: The Shining Fodder w/ no Xyz material, Honest able, BLS/Chaos sorc fodder
- Xyz/Ra4/Warrior: Stratos + bubbleman = this in one turn. so do Ninja and Sam
- Effect: only 4000 in 1 turn and detach 2, Blade Heart is 4400
- 2000/2000: Blade Heart own this

Actually this looks more like a tie. You just explained how each one has different uses.

It doesn't "own" it, or you just found a way to run over BLS with Blade heart?

Nope.

It's only right if the opp has a clear field. This one can run over anything that's currently played.

Except it cann't run over marsmallon, spirit reaper, malefic cyber end dragon...

And some other monsters

Those are exceptions.

It can run over BLS, DAD, JD, Grapha, Hyperion...

Neither can blade heart..

Your argument seems flawed with that one. Both can't do that.

They both have their strengths and weaknesses and both have roles to play at certain times of the game.

Both are good cards and I wouldn't rate one higher than the other one.

The obvious use I see with the card is to run over most boss monsters like JD, BLS, Hyperion etc.

The other one is for a finishing blow if your opponent has 4000 or less life points and you think your opponent has a Gorz or Tragoedia in his hand. Sure Blade Heart can do more damage with 2 attacks, but that requires 2 attacks and if your opponent drops either Gorz or Tragoedia on you then that's that but with this card he won't even have the chance to do so.

Updated the OP with the art

Im gonna run this guy over Illumiknight

I love the art on this card though it looks more like an Earth monster to me. Cool background. I think Magical Pope Hairon would've made a cooler pack mascot though.

So, when this card available on DN?

I cann't find it

HOLY GOD A COVER CARD THAT ISN'T A NUMBER OR A PHOTON!!

Another XYZ. A gimmicky one at that. Atleast it can be useful if your building a Sams deck. Though Shi-En outclasses it. But hey that's my opinion.

Its a 4 grand beater that u can drop honest on can u say swing a big stick

i need this guy in the deck im building, currently have very very few outs to bls

Oh...This is decent. The only thing you have to worry about is your opponents backrow.

I think it's effect is ok.

Prepare for this to be mained in every deck.

It's an XYZ version of Gaia Knight, really, from what I can see - a One turn beatstick advantage just to get over an opponents big monster, only to be killed likely next turn.

You mean every WARRIOR deck
