Star Eater is a beast of a Synchro Monster, and has the second best picture in this set. This is a Light attributed, Dragon type Monster, with 3200 attack and 2800 defense. Star Eater is a Level 11 Synchro Monster, Synchro Summoned with one Tuner and one or more non-Tuner Monsters. Level 11 likely means three Monsters, as even a Level 4 Tuner means you still need a Level 7 Monster to pull it off with just two. Star Eater is a shutdown Monster, and has a lot of great things going for him. He can only be Special Summoned by Synchro Summon. and not be Special Summoned in other ways. It's Synchro Summon cannot be negated. When Synchro Summoned, cards and effects cannot be activated. Furthermore, if this card attacks, it is unaffected by effects until the end of the Damage Step.

Welcome to another card review!!  Today we are reviewing a new Xyz monster that earned the #3 spot on our Judgment of Light List.  It’s the first level 11 Synchro Monster ever released and it’s really good.  Let’s see what this card can do.
 
Star Eater
Attirbute: Light
Types: Dragon/Synchro/Effect
Level 11
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
Must be Synchro Summoned, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. This card's Synchro Summon cannot be negated. When Synchro Summoned, cards and effects cannot be activated. If this card attacks, it is unaffected by other card effects until the end of the Damage Step.
ATK/3200                                                                               DEF/2800
 
So this monster may seem pretty difficult to summon because it’s a level 11 monster but it’s actually not too hard to summon.  There are a lot of ways to summon this monster.  You can simply use a Debris Dragon with any level 7 monster and summon this monster easily.  The best part about this monster is that it has a great effect and really great stats.  Its summon can’t be negated and your opponent can’t respond to this monster’s summon with any of their cards.  What makes this monster even better is that this card is unaffected by other card effects when it attacks.    That is just too good.  All of these effects really limit amount of outs your opponent can have to Star Eater.  A simple Compulsory Evacuation Device or Dark  Hole  can take care of this monster but you might not always have these cards in hand when this comes out on the field.  So overall this card is great.  I don’t think it deserves to be this high on this list but it is definitely one of the best cards from this pack.

Star Eater
LIGHT/Dragon/Synchro/Effect/Level11/3200/2800
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
Must be Synchro Summoned, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. This card's Synchro Summon cannot be negated. When Synchro Summoned, cards and effects cannot be activated. If this card attacks, it is unaffected by other card effects until the end of the Damage Step.

At number 3 of our Top 10 cars from Judgement of Light is Star Eater, the first Level 11 Synchro Monster. In fact level 11 for some reason is a very rare level in Yu-Gi-Oh with around 5 cards being of this level.

Still Star Eater is a generic Light/Dragon with 3200/2800 DEF which is actually pretty weak making it the 2nd weakest level 11 after Yubel: Terror Incarnate. Still as always weak stats for a level means a good effect. Well the bad news is that terrible condition,” Must be Synchro Summoned, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways.” So that’s a lot of its playability gone. Still it as loads of protection, mainly having the same summoning protection as Obelisk the Tormentor so all your hard work isn’t going to be ruined the minute you summon it. Always it has protection when it attacks, so that helps as well.

But then things go downhill, it has no protection outside these, so it is completely vulnerable during the rest of your turn and all of your opponent’s turn. So it makes you really wonder if it is worth the whole summoning thing, when other synchro monsters are easier to get out.
Overall, a lot of good protection for when you get it out, but the low stats means that it isn’t really worth it.

We are down to our #3 card in our Top 10 Judgment of the Light countdown. Today we have Star Eater, the first Level 11 Synchro:
 
Level 11
LIGHT
Dragon / Synchro / Effect
3200 ATK / 2800 DEF
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
Must be Synchro Summoned, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. This card's Synchro Summon cannot be negated. When Synchro Summoned, cards and effects cannot be activated. If this card attacks, it is unaffected by other card effects until the end of the Damage Step.
 
This guy is strong, that’s for sure. His summon can’t be stopped in any way. Not by Bottomless, not by Warning. Nothing.
 
Likewise, when he attacks, he’s unaffected by other card effects until the end of the Damage Step. So Dimensional Prison and Mirror Force fail against him. Beware though, that he can still fall prey to Compulse and Mirror Force (when he’s not attacking), and unlike our buddy Armades, he does not stop Honest or Bujingi Crane from working.
 
Despite these drawbacks, he’s a solid card. And with backrow likely to be prevalent next format (whether you’re under the OCG list with triple Mirror Force or the TCG list with Heavy Storm banned), he’ll probably be a huge player in the game for the next few months.
 
Traditional: 5/5 (only Level 11 we’ve got, so he’s good here too I guess)
Advanced: 5/5
 
Art: 4/5 (My teammate says he looks like the Crimson Dragon. I don’t really see it)
