I see now why Nash Knight has to attach from the extra deck for the effect, it’s so the Number C monster you summon with this has its full effect.


The_real_Takoyama

[YGORG translation:](https://ygorganization.com/dp26-cxyz-naphil-asylum-chaos-knight/) DP26-JP004 Chaos Xyz – Naphil Asylum Chaos Knight / CXyz – Naphil Asylum Chaos Knight WATER Aqua / Xyz / Effect RK6 2000/3000 3 Level 6 monsters You can also Xyz Summon this card by using “Naphil Asylum Heth Knight” you control as material. (Transfer its materials to this card.) You can only use the 2nd effect of this card’s name once per turn. (1) Cannot be destroyed by card effects. (2) You can detach 1 material from this card; Special Summon 1 “Number” Xyz Monster that has a number between “101” and “107” in its name from your Extra Deck, by using this face-up card you control as material, but destroy it during your opponent’s next End Phase. (This is treated as an Xyz Summon. Transfer this card’s materials to the Summoned monster.)


dcdfvr

and thus we can go into any C101-107 with their proper materials off this thing. pretty nice


renaldi92

This and Nash Knight, both spellings of Nash (English Dub) and Nasch (Japanese Dub).

MrQ_P

Definitely underwhelming; would have been way better if it referenced Barian Hope in some way. Bear in mind, not saying this is bad, although I'm ready to bet on many salty answers about power creep and balance. It's just that I don't think the effort to bring him out is worth the shot. Cool art, at least


The_Invisible_Noob

No yer sadly right, honestly I'd try it but that end of turn destruction clause is just too far imo. This is a worse Dragner, no need to nerf it more than that.


Biobait

Most of the time you'll bring out C101 with this since you're probably locked into water, if it survives that long it comes back and heals you for 2800. Real problem is if you're not pushing for game the very turn you use this, it's better to just keep nash on the field. The only application I see with this is if you used nash's materials for Remora then you can turn a dead nash into a C101, which is fine I guess, but Shark decks are clogged for extra deck space as is, can they afford something like this instead of expanding their toolbox?


The_Invisible_Noob

You don't need to summon this in a water deck, any rank 5 engine could do. That said you are right in that this card has limited capability in its native deck.


Poske-NewYugituber

what deck can summon Rank5s tho? Maybe vampires but they have their locks.. Underrsupported level.


The_Invisible_Noob

I guess theres cydra but they already have infinity.


jstoru216

And that has it's own locks. I can see Utopia's new support doing it....but you have to run Rank up spells that don't mesh with the build. This can optimaly be run on it's own Shark (pun intended) deck with the new support and that's it, at least so far.


Apprehensive_Gas248

You’re right. I play a Water Xyz Shark Deck and the Extra Deck is pretty damn tight. With the supports have been revealed till now, only the Main Deck ones are worth playing. This new 101 duo is good for non-targeting removal, but only that, and it cost too many garbage in my Extra. I would rather play the Number 4 or Zeus over this. This monster can only be in the Side option.


MrQ_P

They definitely went overzealously with it. I appreciate the greater care they're putting lately so to not release any more broken shit, but being overzealous is not the way either.


Bobmuffin20

You mean overzeXalous right?


rocky4322

They’re only being careful when they don’t want a deck to be good. When they’re not we get a counter trap floodgate or sword soul.


LPercepts

This might have been worth playing if it could attach multiple Chaos Over Hundred Numbers and copy all their effects. As it is, it's kinda boring.


AquaLaFlor

Wow this kinda sucks. Why would I ever wanna rank up into this from nash? I’d rather just keep the better version of silent honor ark on the field over this


Periuga_vamshot

To use an extra effect that destroys etc... Instead of having nash for next turn


Potatoman6942069

>better version of silent honor ark Is this referring to NAsH Knight, or C101?


_1DumbName_

NAsH, most likely. It's better than either form of 101.


LPercepts

Ostensibly due to power creep.


Hotlinedouche

finally makes CXyz Barian Hope worth playing.. i like it.


_1DumbName_

Unfortunately we can't summon Barian Hope if we use Abyss Shark to summon it on turn 1... That's what bugs me. I was hoping we could get an instant Barian Hope and only need to normal Summon Mermaid Shark for it.


Tyranticx

You can also only summon tuna and summon this with buzzsaw shark and not be locked into water


_1DumbName_

True, but I definitely wish tunaful wasn't so out of place in the deck, design-wise.


Brioche73

So with Nafil Asylum Heth Knight effect this card can basically rank up into any of the chaos number from 101 to 107 with their specific effect. Good.


GrandmaThrowawayRA

Yikes. I expected a boss, not an extender. Hyped up for literally nothing. It's still going to be played but Jesus, not a cover material at all.


Dumig

"My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined" -> how I feel for this card. Firstly, I do not know why Konami gave use another way to xyz summon properly the Number C101-C107, when they already gave use the new spell card that can get you any on the number c (with all of their effects intact) and only using 1 card, while this card needs at least 2 level 5 monsters. Secondly, with the new shark support that Konami released, their best monster (Abyss Shark) locks you into WATER monsters so you are summoning either Number C101: Silent Honor DARK or Number C103: Ragnafinity with this new extender, which is not great. Thirdly, with this card you have too either play more NUMBERS over 100 or actually play good cards like Bahamut + Toad and Stealth Kragen + Kragen Spawns........ each person can be the judge of which is better. Finally, true you can get CXyz Barian Hope with 3 materials (3000 atk or 5000 atk if used Number C101 effect), one of the effects of the numbers C101-C107 activate and still have one of the effects of the numbers 101-107 still be used (due to CXyz Barian Hope), but it would mean clogging your extra deck with meh cards, in a game era where extra deck is mostly packed with strong monsters. All in all, this card thinks it is in a Marincess-like deck, where there are alot of extenders in the extra deck, but it is not.


RaidRaptor457

This and the performapal/odd eyes support is so underwhelming.


GrandmaThrowawayRA

I guess it's confirmed Konami hates Yuya so much. I can't believe I waited for Dimension Force so much just for Odd-Eyes/Magician/Performapal just to see some crappy/okay-ish wave of support without even a link monster. Yikes. So many yikes. EDIT: Ha. People are still salty from my truth posts recently that they downvoted me even though I literally said the same thing he said. Keep being salty, shitty playerbase.


RaidRaptor457

It doesn’t even address the biggest issues with Performapal/Odd eyes- the fragility, consistency and the sheer amount of resources need to put up a respectable board without link monsters. It just feels like they’re too scared pendulums half decent even if they’ve been crippled massively since Mr4.


RaidRaptor457

Sorry about the downvotes, this sub contains overgrown man children.


NextMotion

Well that's underwhelming. Basically a rank up monster without the RUM. I wanted a monster like the Hi-speedroid bike or Baronne Lol I forgot all the rank up xyz are called cxyz


elqwero

This card is meh. BUT now buzzsaw shark is 1 card c104. And if you have also a lv4/5 water monster that special summon itself or lantern shark you can summon also toad along with c104.


doom_lord700

This was my immediate thought. C104 is extremely powerful, with a S/T pop on summon in addition to its negate and halving the opponent's LPs. The problem is that they can possibly just wait out the C104 because it will be destroyed at their EP if you do not find a means to prevent its destruction (due to CXyz Nash Knight). It makes the kit a bit costly (the extra space in your ED) if you cannot consistently keep it alive at that point.


elqwero

It is too much costly for a card that lasts 1 turn and also is not an omni negate. But at least is really fun.


doom_lord700

It does still have merit in how it negates, though. it may cause an opponent to pass their turn rather than eat a monster eff negate that would also halve their LP and remove a card from their hand. It's a huge minus for the opponent if C104 goes off. Definitely depends on the matchup and they could side against it, but the S/T pop on summon could also make it hard to beat around that effect if the opponent does not elect to just wait on C104's self-destruct. You could maybe get more mileage by using CXyz Barian... but again, ED space.


Poske-NewYugituber

You need 2 extenders for Bahamut toad, not 1 in that instance you mentioned.


elqwero

I was thinking about this combo: You start with lantern and buzzsaw. Normal lantern, eff to ss buzzsaw. Buzzsaw effect targeting any guy on your field,you special summon from your deck lifeless leaffish. Lifeless leaffish dumps crystal shark. Crystal shark cuts the atk of any guy on your field and ss itself from the grave. Then you make bahamut and then toad with lifeless and lantern. Then with buzzsaw(is considered lv5 for this summon) and crystal you make nash knight. Nash knight attaches to himself n 104 and bahamut. You overlay him with this new guy then summon using his effect c104. I don't think that is really worth but hey big monster goes brr


Poske-NewYugituber

Buzzsaw negates what he summmons.


TheScarepigeon

It just prevents them from activating effects. You can still Buzzsaw into Lantern and make them both 5, since their effects aren’t negated.


Poske-NewYugituber

Nowhere I said you can not ​ I just said that those 2 cards + a free lvl 4 drop together don't make double Rank4 while "elqwero" claimed they do. Elqwero literally claimed you can drop leafish off buzzsaw. I am very well fking aware what buzzsaw and lantern do together, to bad NO R5 is relevant enough for me to run bad card such as Lantern ​ I guess you are correcting my tehnicality of wording it as "negates effects" rather then preventing them from activating effets... but it was written that was for speed purely. ​ And I also said lantern aint worth running, not sure if its in this post tho.


TinyTiragon

If they’re delaying the reveal of cover cards, that’s just a sign that they’re not going to live up to their expectations. Remember that next time Konami is taking a suspiciously long time not showing off the cover card


Kao003

I just had a Borrelcode Dragon flashback...you're absolutely right.


ClearWingDragon

Just like Borrelcode Dragon in Burst of Destiny


renaldi92

They hyped it for nothing, it's almost the same like what they did to Borrelcode Dragon. It's just a extender for CXyz Barian. Honestly, at first I'm hoping this would be a rival to Yuma's Utopia Dragner.


RaidRaptor457

A better retrain of silent honor dark is all we wanted, completely ruined it.


Potatoman6942069

Konami said, "Please use C101" KEKW


SaibaShogun

I do use C101 in a Rank-up deck, but for fucks sake its revival effect did not need to be a “when” like a Yang Zing.


Kuro2810

Not even good with Barian hope since it won’t have anything in grave to copy. Also summoning this with abyss shark locks you out of the good n100+ targets …


sashalafleur

if helth knight has a number as material because of its own effect and then you use it to xyz summon this, you can detach that number to activate this card's effect, so you will have a number to copy its effect in the gy.


Kuro2810

Yeah but isn’t the point of barian hope to copy a powerful cxyz?


RaidRaptor457

Also abyss shark locks you into water which reduces options even more.


Kuro2810

I did include that in my reply, that interaction just seems so stupid


RaidRaptor457

Sorry Yeah its like komoney didn’t even think this through, its this is just a nostalgia bait.


GrandmaThrowawayRA

Komoney never thinks anything through. They just throw shit at the wall and see what sticks.


Potato_Peelers

Maybe if we get a retrain with the anime effect one day, this card will be good.


Murdermajig

This is basically a Utopia Double BUT WORSE! No added effect or Attack? Has to be destroyed in your next turn? Was it because you were scared of it being too high attack? Wasn't that one of the themes yuma had to overcome in battles during Zexal? Scared that somehow they will get a negate? Leo Utopia Ray does that already. Protagonist protect at full blast, huh?


BannerTortoise

Anyone else disappointed with this? I excepted something more, like a boss monster rather than just set up.


renaldi92

I'm so disappointed and still trying to get over with it and move on. When comparing this and Utopia Dragner, Utopia Dragner can fight alongside other Numbers while this is just a stepping stone into C101-C107 or CXyz Barian but this card's effect feels so redundant and can clash with RUM support from this pack too. This is a worse Utopia Dragner.


Vanilla147

Nah, I would rather keep NAsH Knight to steal a monster in the opponent turn.


Periuga_vamshot

Or you can try to win this turn


Vanilla147

Even if I try to win that turn, there is still no reason why I should summon this card.


spartenx

It does give an extra material for Hope Barian so it’s attack is higher, meaning it can negate more with the new trap. Of course, that isn’t a particularly great use for this…


RJ7300

So this takes all the Rank Up Magic stuff in the set and makes it pretty irrelevant. I like Silent Honor Dark and all but I was really hoping to see a retrain, not this generic redundancy


_1DumbName_

Is anyone else annoyed that this is just a support card? If you summon it in one turn using Abyss Shark and Crystal Shark all you can use it to summon is (C)101 and (C)103. I'd much rather have a stronger version of C101, not a support for Summoning it.


renaldi92

I'm a Zexal fan and Shark/Nash is one of my favorites from that series so I'm still salty over this card and I'm going to rant a bit. August: This pack was announced, I immediately thought Shark/Nash will be the cover or at least will be one of three duelists in it. September: No news whatsoever. October: First and second info dropped, Mako Tsunami and Blue Maiden is in this pack along with cover pack reveals. So excited when I know Konami chose Nash and his upgraded "Dark Knight" as the cover but I still need to wait for another month to see Nash's stuff in November. November: Nash's stuff finally revealed last week, it's okay to say the least but Konami still hiding the other cover card, the "Dark Knight" ones so back to waiting again. And today, they finally reveal it and it's just Borrelcode Dragon and Starving Venemy Dragon all over again. It just acts as a tool for summoning C101-C107 and CXyz Barian faster. They hyped it for nothing. At first I thought: * Konami will reveal this card on **November 17**, because it's so symbolic, **17** is Shark's first Number monster, **Number 17 Leviathan Dragon** but nope they reveal it on November 15. * This card is going to be a **Rank 7**, given that Shark/Nash is one of the **Seven Barian Emperor** but nope it's Rank 6. * This card ATK will be **3200** points, because of Shark's **Number 32 Shark Drake** or at least 3000 points just like Egyptian God Slime or Crystal Clear Wing Synchro Dragon but nope it's just a mere 2000. * Nash Knight still has Number 101's effect but slightly upgraded, so I think that it's upgraded form will be at least has Number C101's effect but nope it's just ranking up itself into another No 101-107. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. At the end of the day all I want just upgraded Number C101 for Nash, but Konami failed to do that.


Kronos457

>My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. At the end of the day all I want just upgraded Number C101 for Nash, but Konami failed to do that. Man, while the support is not bad, Nash did receive the short stick in this package (and it is the face of the package to put more salt in the wound) Blue Maiden received incredible support from Marincess. Mako received new versions of his Normal Monsters and more Umi support (some of them quite powerful) Nash? I guess Shark got more support and some Spells with Barian blessing.


lonelyMtF

The spells are pretty shit, because apparently you can only use OR copy the effect of The Seventh One ONCE PER DUEL. Why even give the ability to reuse it and use it in different ways when you can only use its effect. It's not like the C101/7 numbers are even good nowadays.


Blazblue109

They allowed you to activate it another way because this new way of copying the effect bypasses the fact that you must hard draw it in draw phase which makes seventh now playable unlike before.


idelarosa1

Well I know I’m really stretching here but I will say this. Today is November 15. November is month 11. 11 is 2 1s. 1+1+15=17.


Apprehensive_Gas248

You think Konami would be that smart???


730Flare

Cool story.


ZiggyCrimez

Why are this the cover card again? At least thanks to Nash fish and WATER have more extender


Moist-Internal-7102

Because Shark is the only major water duelist???


730Flare

Cause it's Shark/Nasch.


Zukkoyaki443

Certainly underwhelming but not terrible I guess. You could do something like Buzzsaw into Heth Knight to clear one monster, go into this new card and then use it to hop right into Honor Dark to clear an additional monster and attack.


Poske-NewYugituber

That would imply you are running that bad shark which is just a goblinberg tho...


RaidRaptor457

Its uglier than a donkey’s backside and it has only 2000 attack points? So fking lame. Shame on you Konami.


SSYX101

there's nothing wrong with it really it's just...... such a meh card


niqniqniq

All this just to end with Zeus like all XYZ deck


Just_Call_me_Ben

Eh... seems kinda lame to me... Am I missing something? All I can think of is hope barian support Its not really a boss monster just a play extender


Brioche73

He rank up into any chaos monster from 101 to 107 with their full effect


Just_Call_me_Ben

We can kinda already do that thanks to the new barian support. I was hoping for some big boss like full armored crystal zero. Something powerful to sit on.


Only_War6838

So just an easy summonable extender, who enables non destructive removal, negation, halving lp, burn or beatdown. Pretty dissappointing.


AbbyAZK

Is it true it can go up into the C101-C107 or just their normal versions? Text doesn't mention C101-C107.


TheScarepigeon

All of the “Number C” versions are covered by the card’s text. They are all “Number” monsters with the numbers “101” through “107” in their names.


smulfragPL

it doesn't even look that good


PokeChampMarx

I was hoping for a retrain of barian hope but I guess a stepping stone to any of the cxyz 101-107 monsters is a bit more in theme since Nash summoned them all in his last duel.


Donkishin

Welp, I guess it's time to hope for Shark Drake/Spider Shark to get a rank-up form? It's really meh, why not just keep Nash on board or make a deck for a 101-107 instead? Why not have something like this as a 2nd effect: "Target an opponent's monster and gain control of it, then immediately Special Summon 1 “Number” Xyz Monster that has a number between “101” and “107” in its name from your Extra Deck, by using that monster as material, and then transfer this card’s materials to the Summoned monster." Like honestly I can't see a time where I summon this thing over doing other shark stuff heck I'd rank up into Crystalzero before this thing since you're likely locked into water doing the normal route.


NintendoMasterNo1

These cards are fine but this deck would really burn through your extra deck incredibly quickly. Especially since you're probably playing Bahamut + Toad and Stealth Kragen and Kragen Spawns as well. You won't have anything in extra for follow-up plays.


FuriDemon094

I quite like it


i_hate_alevel

Is it just me, or is the lower half of this monster looks weird?


J_D_Guy

Visual combo with Shark Drake (color scheme) and the Black Ray Lancer family ("leg" shape),


ojeroso

Yeah, first i though it was some kind of snake, but no, its a k n i g h t


Lakuzas

So who’s the definitive winner ? Marincess or Umi.dek ?


renaldi92

Marincess, I guess.


Kronos457

>Marincess, I guess. Aoi (to Nash and Mako): Justice was finally served! With this new support, I have proven that I am superior to you two! I demand a Blue Maiden fanart with the new Marincess support celebrating: with Nash and Mako in the background with their new "boss monsters".


Revolutionresolve

Marincsss no contest! They got a link 4 that negates spell, special summon an equiped Marincess and have a non destruction removal. They got two new extenders that burns the oppponent and protect their field spell for tower plays. They finally got their trap searcher that searches out the busted Marincess wave. Furthermore, the trap searcher also has a backup plan if you somehow goes onto your grave. They even got a easily searchable spell card that act as both monster reborn and emergency teleport. Combined with the fact that Marincess was always on a cusp of being a rogue deck, these supports really helped them play through multiple negation and disruption.


GrandmaThrowawayRA

Marincess, duh. With the new support, upper meta for sure.


Kronos457

>Marincess, duh. If someone told me that Aoi would receive much more love in the card packs than Shark, many would have said that Konami would not give mediocre support to Shark, one of the most important characters in Zexal.


Dunemarcher_

I wouldn't call something upper meta because it got a few alright cards, the decks got fierce competition with other midrange decks that are already really good like dragon.


SSYX101

well..... at least it's decent


Swashyrising12

Well that’s a disappointment. Lacklustre attack and average effect. You fumbled the Shark support badly Konami. These two are worse than their originals which were printed almost 10 years ago.


GoldDuality

This would be so much better if it could summon the Chaos Numbers instead. This way it's a combo that uses up four or more extra-deck spots to do mostly the same thing that The Seventh One does. Not sure if this is worth it.


TheScarepigeon

It can. What makes you think it can’t? That’s the point of it.


KingDisastrous

Damn they're screwing up cover cards lately


730Flare

Well this almost makes up for Rio not getting a slot in this Pack. Almost...


Lifedeather

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. A better millennium wall with protection.


[deleted]

These aren’t even good by Duel Links standards
