Number 38: Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy Rank 8 LIGHT Dragon 2 Level 8 monsters Once per turn, when a Spell Card or effect is activated on the field (Quick Effect): You can negate that effect, and if you do, attach that card to this card as material. When an opponent's monster declares an attack: You can detach 1 material from this card; change the attack target to this card and perform damage calculation.
If another face-up Xyz Monster(s) you control is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can target 1 face-up Xyz Monster you control; it gains ATK equal to 1 of those destroyed monsters' original ATK. ATK 3000 | DEF 2500 |
This card can be used as the third piece of the Numeron Dragon OTK package, alongside Number 97: Draglubion and Number 100: Numeron Dragon.
In that role, Hope Harbinger is just the Xyz Material for Numeron Dragon, it doesn't do much. However by itself, it's certainly not a bad card, and since it requires 2 Level 8s, it's something we can make easily.
First off, it's a Spell negate, which is nice to have, but keep in mind Fire King Avatar Rangbali is easier to access in most situations.
The second effect forces your opponent to get rid of it first, or prepare to attack into it. It's unfortunate that it doesn't have any protections, so it can be easily removed.
The third effect doesn't come up that often for us since we don't usually end up with 2 Xyz Monsters on the field at the same time, but it can mean giving itself a lot of ATK which isn't something that can be easily ignored.
Overall, if you're including the Numeron Dragon package, this is the best choice for the 3rd card, but keep in mind you will rarely, if ever, summon this card by itself. You could go into it mid-to-late-game when you need a Spell negate and Rangbali is inaccessible for any reason.
