nope :), the hint for the answer is 'schrodinger cat'

good try but that's a mistake of mine since made this card in a rush with the question being a fun snap decision. another hint would be the Schrodinger's cat paradox.

Does it matter anyway when its level will be changed once its summoned because of its effect. . .

I've established those within the Carian royal family are all XYZ's so Ranni's consort has to be an XYZ, but the tarnished is becomes her consort via a ritual with the ring, so Its a XYZ that's summoned via a ritual aka spell card. a problem occurs if its summoned like this since it means it can't get XYZ materials from being XYZ summoned, so it needs to get them somehow and it makes sense for it to use the remains of others to empower itself like how the tarnished uses runes to level up. Then the effect of essentially having a removal prevention then negation as its effect with a secondary cost of its stats being lowing since their dependent on XYZ materials seems a reasonable effect for such a card. Tell me how you feel you could have improved this card, just remember this card has the requirements of both Ranni on the field and Astel in the grave to be summoned which has its own series of requirements to be summoned in the form of the Mimic tear.

but its worthy of someone of Alexander isn't it, its weak to just being stalled into a weaker defense or removed via effect. it would take at least 4 turns or at most 8 to place him in the backing.

it would be op if it only applied to the user, since it essentially makes a blanket rule and a free summon for each duelist its not as op as you think.

tell me what was used as payment for the tribute, what card type is it and does it have a level.
