It cripples your opponent's LV5+ monsters (might hurt Nekroz, Shaddoll fusions and the like) but is still victim to the effects of low level monsters and a myriad of level-less XYZ monsters.  It can't be targeted by monsters, but it's still victim to spell and traps.  The ATK boost effect is a little perk that is more suited toward defense during your opponent's turn than OTKing on your turn.  This card has good effects but they have a very narrow band of scope, which isn't too bad for an Extra Deck monster (there's not a plethora of good LV7 Synchros anyway) so I'll grade it a little leniently.  Not a great card but still good-ish.

We got a good one to close out the week, in Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!  This is a Level 7, Wind attributed, Dragon type Synchro, who is Synchro Summoned with a Tuner and one or more non-Tuner Monsters.  Clear Wing has 2500 attack and 2200 defense.  Once a turn, during either player's turn,  when an effect Monster activates an effect, you can negate said effect and destroy the Monster in question.  So long as said Monster is Level 5 or higher.  Secondly, once, also during either player's turn, when an effect Monster activates an effect that targets exactly and only one Level 5 or higher Monster on the Field, and no other cards, negate it as well, and if successful, destroy said card.  If this cards effect destroys a Monster, Cleat Wing gains attack equal to the destroyed Monster until the End of the turn.  So it's got a strong attack of its own, it has protection and destruction built in, in two separate ways, both broad and specific, and can boost its own attack occasionally.  There's a lot of hype for this card.  At the very least, Dragons will enjoy it.

Hello, fair readers, and welcome to, what is without a doubt, the best card of the week, in Clear Wing Synchro Dragon. For those of you who watch the anime, this is one of the primary monsters of the highspeed-hothead that is Yugo, and the next Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon counterpart after Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon.
 
As with its two counterparts, its stats are middle of the road, clocking in at 2500 attack and 2000 defense. For a level 7 synchro, these stats are fine, with only Yazi, Evil of the Yang Zing, and Scrap Archfiend beating its attack, with 2600 and 2700 respectively. Being a wind has no notable benefits here, but being a Dragon certainly does, and due to it being a Level 7 Dragon Synchro, you can summon this guy through Ultimaya Tzolkin, an interesting synchro recently released.
 
As for its two effects, while not very proactive, are insanely reactive, and can make this guy a pain in the ass to kill. Basically, during either players turn, if another Level 5 or higher monster activates his effect, OR a monster effect targets 1 Level 5 or higher monster on the field, negate that effect and destroy that monster. As for what this works against, obviously the list is way too big, but suffice to say it stops a lot, ranging from Shaddoll Construct to Castel the Avian Skyblaster. For whatever reason, after it successfully negates and destroys, it will gain the monster's attack until the end of the turn. This is mostly negligible, as it will most likely use its effect on your opponent's turn, thus meaning you can't attack with it. Take note that both effects can be used in one turn as well.
 
All in all, a very, very solid level 7 synchro. Although, it may be too prone to being run over instead of targeted.
