Xyx

I have decided to write this because I think that most of the Xyx's are awsome.

 

Xyx Minor-

I'll start with the first Xyx, Xyx Minor. At the first look of all the Xyx I completely discarded these guys for totally unbroken, shows how much I knew. After a look at Ora's starting hand I soon found out the use of these guys( well all but Xyx). Xyx minors use is to 1 pump up other Xyx namely Elder. But what if there are no other Xyx? This is were use number 2 comes in, pump up Minor. WHAT?! Yes it is totally legal and not very hard to do. I would use Ora with these guys because of her +1 energy to any Arderial Creature played by Ora, Xyx Minor can come out with 3 energy instead of 2 which is what Gathering Clouds costs. Once you play Minor with one or more extra energy on it use Gathering Clouds on itself bringing it up two more energy. Keep doing this and pretty soon you can have a 10+ energy Minor out.

 

Xyx-

I call this guy a poor man's Balamant. Why? Because he does the same thing Balamant does 'sept he KILLS HIMSELF unless you have more energy on him. Also his power cost one more energy. Why poor man's? Simply because he's a common. Although removing four energy from a magi is good it's not going to be earth shattering. Stick with Balamant even if you are playing a Arderial deck, making your opponent energize 0-2 energy for three turns is much better than for one turn. I don't play him :-)

 

Xyx Elder-

This card is awsome! Talk about MASS removal. Roll a six when your opponent just played 4 creatures and their magi has a couple energy left can be earthshattering. But it can hurt your own creatures... Don't play any non-Xyx creatures with this guy(play Minor with him though). This card is only an UNCOMMON too. This can't get any better, wait yeah it can. I would highly suggest playing this guy in every board control deck along with Deep and Thunder Hyren and Ora. Ora? Why Ora? Because she starts with both Elder AND Minor. I use Ora as my first magi in my Arderial deck to kill off the first magi on turn one or two. How? Play Ora, play Minor and use Gathering clouds on itself if you went first if not wait. If you went first end your turn if you went second (and the opponent has some worthy creatures to kill) play Xyx Elder(play on second turn if you went first) and use shooting start on it. Then use Shock storm, if you get a good number you can greatly injure or kill any creatures in play hopfully leaving a defensless magi. Then wait till your second turn if you went second if first attack any remaining creatures with your 5 energy Xyx Minor if none attack the magi. If you went second wait and see if the opponent plays any more creatures if so use Minor's power on Elder and use Shockstorm to kill them if not attack the magi. That's how. This card is awsome and I highly suggest playing 3 of Elder and Minor in all Arderial decks even if they don't have Ora.
