Nibiru, the Primal Being

LIGHT Level 11

[ Rock / Effect ]

During the Main Phase, if your opponent Normal or Special Summoned 5 or more monsters this turn (Quick Effect): You can Tribute as many face-up monsters on the field as possible, and if you do, Special Summon this card from your hand, then Special Summon 1 Primal Being Token (Rock/LIGHT/Level 11/ATK ?/DEF ?) to your opponent's field. (This Token's ATK/DEF become the combined original ATK/DEF of the Tributed monsters.) You can only use this effect of Nibiru, the Primal Being once per turn.

ATK/ 3000 DEF/ 600

Main Phase: Tribute everything if 5+ summons this turn and summon Nib + Token

Tips:

• In almost case, you should summon Token in Defense Position
• You should prepare a way to deal with high attack Token when deck building if you use Nibiru
• If you cannot special have some summon restriction like Dark Lock in Orcust, or Fire lock in, the tribute effect part is still . Use it as your advantage to reuse

Summon restrict dark lock

	Branded Despia	-5th Summon	Branded tends to set up GY plays during the end phase, so using Nib risks allowing them to simply keep playing, however, it drastically reduces board presence, potentially keeping them off of cards like Albion the Sanctifire Dragon or Secreterion Dragon. Note: Using Nibiru will allow the opponent to use Granguignol the Dusk Dragon's effect to cheat a Despia from Extra Deck	Great	View Edit

	Dracotail		Dracotail (pure and Branded) doesn't normally summon more than 4 times per turn. If you do meet the requirements to summon Nibiru, it will only be a speed bump because Arthalion and Gulamel can easily summon themselves back from the GY.	Weak	View Edit

	Fire King	- Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames if they used Hiita the Fire Charmer, Ablaze - After Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames summons (if not Fire King Avatar Arvata - On the link 4 - Garunix Eternity, Hyang of the Fire Kings - Any overextention	Nibiru works good only for the link plays or when they use a lot of resources. For links the idea is that with a non FIRE on field they can't do much (if they didn't set up a Jurrac Meteor nuke), if they reach the 5th summon on Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames you should punish that. Making Garunix Eternity, Hyang of the Fire Kings is usually part of an OTK that requires commitment, if you have the opportunity to stop it before the BP you can breathe for a turn and possibly win.

	Gimmick Puppet	ASA you feel like about to be FTK'd.	It depends if Mansion is active or not.	Weak	View Edit

	Ice Barrier	Any summon after 5	Nibiru completely bricks the Ice Barrier board. The only way they can recover is via Freezing Chains of the Ice Barrier, as all the other special summons from hand require controlling an Ice Barrier monster already.	Great	View Edit

	Madolche	Before they make Madolche Queen Tiaramisu or Madolche Teacher Glassouffle with other Madolche Monsters on their field after most of their Madolche monster activated their effects	If Nibiru is resolved, their chance of winning is very low even if they end up having Madolche Promenade and/or Madolche Dessert on their field	Great	View Edit
	Maliss		Do not have reliable Nibiru counter with Apolousa banned. However, they can summon Link Spider by the token to continue the combo.	Usable	View Edit
	Mannadium	Before they make Baronne, but they usually still have extenders	Not Yet	Usable	View Edit
	Mathmech	Usable anytime, they don't put up a negate on their turn. Just make sure they have no extenders left (can wait until Transcode Talker effect)	Not Yet	Great	View Edit
	Mayakashi	End the end of MP	Not Yet	Great	View Edit
	Millennium	After the summon of The Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate.	If the opponent plays into it, it removes Exodia, preventing Exxod Fires of Rage from being set and forces them to pass on just the token.	Usable	View Edit
	Mitsurugi	Pure Mitsurugi: Ideal scenario: When all the opponent's Mitsurugi Ritual monsters have already activated their effects to summon themselves from the GY, and before they are able to summon a monster negate In most (less ideal) scenarios, the opponent will likely choose to pass turn before using up all of their Ritual names' tribute effect. In this case use Nibiru when it is likely to stop them from using their monsters on the field for tributing, or when 2 Mitrusugi ritual monsters on the field and both have already used their tribute effect. Example: The opponent has Habakiri and Murakumo on their field, one of them has already been tributed this turn. They activate Mitsurugi Ritual/Magatama/Mirror to attempt to summon a Mitsurugi ritual monster. Resolving Nibiru before the former will prevents them from using those monsters on the field as summon materials. Variants: After the summon of Futsu no Mitama no Mitsurugi.	Pure Mitsurugi: Pure Mitsurugi cannot summon a monster negate before the sixth summon without sacrificing a significant part of their endboard. The player can discard Nibiru itself when responding to Murakumo's discard effect. This will prevent the opponent from getting a Primal Being Token summoned to their field and all monsters on the field will still be tributed regardless. Variants: So that they can't go into The Zombie Vampire to get out their second engine. But using Nibiru there triggers Futsu no Mitama no Mitsurugi's effect and Futsu resummons.	Usable	View Edit
	P.U.N.K	Before they try to make Psychic End Punisher (8+3) or P.U.N.K JAM FEVER! Try to wait until after Deer Note revive	Not Yet	Great	View Edit
	Pendulum Magician	Nibiru + Imperm or Effect Veiler is your best bet. This deck can make omni-negates by the 5th summon or before Pendulum Summoning. If you have both, wait for these choke points before they make a 2nd omni-negate after Pendulum Summoning. If you only have Nibiru, use it before they summon the 1st omni-negate, ideally after they've Pendulum Summoned. 1a. When Harmonizing Magician + Oafdragon Magician are on field 1b. When Supreme King Dragon Lightwurm + Chronograph Sorcerer are on field 2. When 2 level 7's are on the field after opponent has Pendulum Summoned. They can still summon 2 level 7's after Nibiru depending on the hand. 3. Chain Nibiru to The Gaze of Timaeus targeting Dark Magician of Destruction 4. Chain Nibiru to Performapal Celestial Magician monster effect if they also control a Synchro monster	1. Baronne de Fleur can be summoned with these monsters. Can be done by 5th summon. 2. Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon can be summoned with 2 level 7's. Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon can summon Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon if it is sent to GY. Vortex is an omni-negate. 3. The Gaze of Timaeus can summon Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, which is an omni-negate. Can be done as early as the 3rd summon. 4. You won't be able to activate monster effects for the rest of the turn	Usable	View Edit

	Six Samurai		Usable if their combo didn't summon Lord Shi En early	Usable	View Edit
	Sky Striker	Puts a body in their Main Monster Zone so they can't use all their spells	Switches off most Sky Striker quick-play spells if the player is unable to get rid of the token. Nibiru's summon will allow Sky Striker Ace - Raye to trigger and revive (if in the GY). Allowing the player to use both to summon Sky Striker Ace - Azalea or Sky Striker Ace - Zeke to either destroy or banish Nibiru on field respectively.	Usable	View Edit
	Snake-Eye	Snake-Eyes Flamberge Dragon (After Flamberge revive 2 Level 1 Fire monster)	Not Yet	Great	View Edit
	Solfachord	As soon as they summon 5 monsters, hopefully before GranSolfachord Coolia hits the board. She's usually summoned after Pendulum Summoning, don't forget the timing!	Half of the Solfachord monsters have a protection effect where they won't allow you to chain Nibiru, the Primal Being to the Pendulum Summon, you need to Nibiru, the Primal Being them exactly after the chain of the Pendulum Summon. This will stop their turn 19 out of 20 times.	Great	View Edit

	Vanquish Soul K9	After bait K9-17 "Ripper"	They should able have K9-17 "Ripper" before 5 summon. Nibiru have Great impact if pair with another hand trap like Effect Veiler or Imperm, to bait Ripper. Resolving Nibiru will clear the monster - their main interaction, also denying access to Snow Devil by Field Spell in the EP (due to not have 2 VS monsters)	Weak	View Edit
	Voiceless Voice	After SS Dyna Mondo	Not Yet	Usable	View Edit
	Yubel	Before they have Phantom of Yubel or when they have 2 Level 6 monsters, before summon D/D/D Wave High King Caesar.	Nibiru isn't a good solution against Yubel because they'll always be able to summon a disrupt to stop it before you can use it.	Weak	View Edit
	Yummy		Usually trade with Herald of the Arc Light Nibiru can only weaken their board because they can simply Link the Token into Link Spider and then Special Summon any other Yummy monster from their hand to continue their combo	Usable	View Edit
