Psychic Lifetrancer is a decent enough Psychic-type
monster who is really hindered by the fact that it
is Level 7, requiring two tributes as such. Does
this card have a place in your Psychic Deck? Let's
take a look.
2400 attack and 2000 defense isn't very good for two
tributes, but it has supported monsters in the past,
a notable example being Sacred Phoenix. It is
Synchro Summoned by 1 Tuner and one or more
non-Tuner-type monsters.
Now, once per turn, you can remove one Psychic-type
monster in your Graveyard to gain 1200 Lifepoints.
That's a nice addition to your Lifepionts for a
negligible cost, but Lifepoint gain has never been a
very viable option in Yugioh.
1200 extra Lifepoints per turn isn't anything to
scoff at. The format is quick and relentless, and it
isn't anything to quickly set aside.
However, with only the 2400 attack, and no game
breaking effect, I don't see it having a competitive
place in the Format.

Well, this is the other level 7 synchro that we have
now that is unthemed. Her stats are slightly better
than the infamous Black Rose Dragon, as psychic,
DARK and 200 more defense are good. Now on to her
effect. Compared to BRD, you cannot say that
lifetrancer is better, but, if you don't want to
nuke the field, then of course Lifetrancer is
better.
You remove a Psychic in the graveyard and you gain
1200 lifepoints. How is that good? Don'd you want
Psychcics int he graveyard? Krebons is a DARK, so if
you are over in e Tele-DAD deck, you can bring your
graveyard down to the size that you need.
She also comboes well wth Magical Android, Thought
Ruler Archfiend and Psychokinesis in particular,
granting the lifepoints to use TRA's anilities as
well as getting enourmous lifegain from Android and
fulfilling all of Psychokinesis' contractual
obligations.
Basically in any deck that can conceivably make a
level 7 and uses Psychics, you will put this guy in
your extra deck, if just for the fact that she is
better than BRD is in so many situations.

Psychic Lifetrancer is a second choice for a Level 7
Synchro monster other than Black Rose Dragon. The
only important difference between the two are the
effects. On one hand you can blow up the field or
remove a plant from the grave to have an opponent's
monster have 0 attack, on the other hand you can
remove a Psychic from the graveyard to gain 1200
Life Points. In most non Psychic decks the only
Psychic monsters being played are Krebons and
Psychic Commander. Life Points are important as they
used to be. People would rather destroy all cards or
deal damage instead of gain life points.

Meh, this card is OK. It's not terrible, but it's
not amazing (I'm not quick to dismiss a card, if you
haven't noticed). It's...well, it's so-so, even in a
Psychic deck. Chances are that you'll be using your
Tuner monsters to bring out some bigger, meaner
beasties than this guy, and while the 1200 LP gain
is nothing to scoff at, it's not gamebreaking, so
this card will just be collecting dust in a box
somewhere after awhile.
