Number 87: Queen of the Night

WATER/Plant/Xyz/Rank 8
3200/2800

3 Level 8 monsters
Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then activate 1 of these effects.
● Target 1 Set Spell/Trap Card your opponent controls; while this card is face-up on the field, that Set card cannot be activated.
● Target 1 Plant-Type monster on the field; change that target to face-down Defense Position.
● Target 1 face-up monster on the field; that target gains 300 ATK.

Isn't this terribly awful?

...It really is.

First effect is attempting to do that thing 3 Axis Fire Fists do, and it's kind of out of place here.

Second effect is way too gimmicky to work in much of anything at all.

Third effect...seriously, what is this card even trying to do? It's exceedingly worse than every other rank 8 available.

It's decent.

And I'm extremely disappointed that this has a topic and Number 85, AKA Let'sMakeAnyRank4MakingDeckThatCanDealWithMonsterSpamAnti-Meta, doesn't. Same for Cologne-chan.
