Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Juggernaut Liebe – Yu-Gi-Oh! Review

Crunch$G

We are ending the week with a new boss monster in the Rank 10 Train deck, Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Juggernaut Liebe. (These Xyzs have long names.)

Liebe is a Rank 11 EARTH Machine with 4000 ATK and DEF. I said 3000 ATK is always good, but 4000 is just better, and EARTH and Machine goes with the deck. The summoning requirements without its own summoning condition are three Level 11 monsters, where there are 15 Level 11 monsters in the game and only one deck I can think of can probably get out multiple Level 11s (that being Cardians, but in that deck there are better things to do with those Level 11s and the archetype can restrict you to Cardians). The way you’ll probably summon this is that once per turn, you can Xyz Summon a Liebe by overlaying it on top of a Rank 10 Machine Xyz you control (materials on that become a part of this). Easy enough in a Rank 10 deck, not much needs to be said, if Gustav or any other Rank 10 Machine is easy to summon like I’ve mentioned this week, then Liebe is basically easy to summon. Once per turn, you can detach a material from this card to have it gain 2000 ATK and DEF and also for the rest of this turn only this card can attack. The stat boost doesn’t go anywhere, so if you detach a material on the next turn this becomes 8000 ATK and DEF, as if 6000 wasn’t already enough. If you have this after you burn with Gustav Max and your opponent has no monsters, then you can basically attack for game, which that becomes a little easier if you detach a Derricrane to pop an opponent’s monster. You’ll likely not really do that, but Liebe can still cause easy OTKs as it can attack monsters during each Battle Phase up to the number of Xyz materials this card has +1. If you summon Gustav and detach a material for that for 2000 burn and then put this on top of Gustav to detach for this to become 6000 ATK and DEF, then you still got two attacks on monsters which can cause an OTK just as long as the two monsters you attack with this don’t have a combined ATK of 6000 (this is 12000 damage with two attacks on monsters with 0 ATK, so adding points to ATK reduces the damage and your opponent will have 6000 most likely after Gustav, so 6000 damage is all you need). Liebe is what you call a boss monster. Gustav isn’t even the only card you can put this on as well. Number 81 is a good first turn play in the Rank 10 Train deck as it can make itself or another monster unaffected by card effects for a turn by detaching a material, Skypalace Gangaridai can pop a card your opponent controls and burn for 1000 damage (can pop two by detaching Derricrane), and Superdimensional Robot Galaxy Destroyer can destroy all Spells and Traps your opponent controls with them being able to respond with them, then you can summon this for a safer OTK (Galaxy Destroyer needs 3 Level 10s, so it is harder to summon but after detaching then Liebe gets 4 attacks on monsters). This card makes Rank 10 Trains have easy OTK potential if your opponent doesn’t have the right protection. It is pretty linear, just like actual Trains, but the Rank 10 Train strategy as a whole has been pretty linear as a whole since what they want to do is mostly summon Rank 10 Xyzs. Liebe is a good two of in the Rank 10 Extra Deck since it’ll probably be full of Rank 10 Machines, but if you are throwing Rank 10s in a different Extra Deck, you are likely using Gustav and/or Dora so this can be a good one of for that extra OTK potential and surprise factor.

Advanced Rating: 4.5/5

Art: 4.5/5 This thing certainly looks like it can kill you, alright.
