![]() Making Utopia a fairly balanced card requiring an equally fair amount of thought when playing and using said effect. That being optional makes it a better effect, even if it suicides itself if it’s attacked without Material. It has many variants and specific support (vis a vis Dark Magician and Neos) and being able to negate an attack by discarding an XYZ Material IS a good thing. It’s a generic Rank 4, Light/Warrior, and a solid 2500 attack are lots of benefits to this card initially. Nor does it have the support it, or Elemental Hero Neos does, nor has withstood time as well as Stardust Dragon. One of the first, and most easily available Number and XYZ cards, it certainly hasn’t achieved the prominence Dark Magician has. Utopia has my least favorite art at its best for the protagonist aces probably, but still better than some Dark Magician forms, which is another thing the number of Utopia forms actually outnumber.Īnd in a twist of fate a blind man saw coming, we have Number 39: Utopia for Throwback Thursday today. ![]() It’s a card you play still, just not because you’re overlaying 2 Level 4s into the Number 39: Utopia to keep it on the field though.Īrt: 4.25/5 for the original and 3.75/5 for the alternate art. Only one of those uses Utopia for what it actually does, though. It was a card you wanted to use to stall until you can get into a good position, if not win the game, when it was first released and now you use it to win ASAP with Utopia Double, use a Rank-Up-Magic to summon a Number C39 form, discard a Rank-Up-Magic for Utopic ZEXAL, or just slap a Number S39 on top of it. They know you don’t want Utopia on the field for long though, because if it is attacked when it doesn’t have Xyz Materials, Utopia destroys himself and this will allow a replay to occur and for you to take a direct attack if Utopia was your only monster. Those are only if you aren’t running a dedicated Utopia Deck. If not that, then you’re using this to climb into Number S39: Utopia the Lightning. This effect funny enough is used more now to negate Utopia’s own attack to get off Double or Nothing to go for an OTK with Number 39: Utopia Double. A Negate Attack on legs you don’t have to draw is ok, far better when Xyzs were brand new and we didn’t have much options. Its effect is that when a monster declares an attack, you can detach a material from this card to negate an attack. The summoning requirements are any 2 Level 4 monsters, which is probably the easiest thing to do in the game. The protagonist stats are honestly impressive on a Rank 4, plus being a LIGHT Warrior is nice. ![]() Utopia is a Rank 4 LIGHT Warrior Xyz with 2500 ATK and 2000 DEF. Who is ready for the ace monster that has more forms than the Number archetype actually has Numbers, even after Numbers 1-4 arrive? Ok, that’s an exaggeration, but this card has tons of forms. ![]()
