OCG Structures]] }} "'''Super Quant'''" ({{Ruby|超|ちょう}}{{Ruby|量|りょう}} ''Chōryō'') is an [[archetype]] debuting in ''[[Booster SP: Wing Raiders]]''. The archetype contains two sub-archetypes, "[[Super Quantum]]", and "[[Super Quantal Mech Beast]]". ==Design== The "Super Quant" archetype is based on the ''[[wikipedia:Super Sentai|Super Sentai]]''/''[[wikipedia:Power Rangers|Power Rangers]]'' series. The [[Main Deck]] monsters are based on the Rangers, while the [[Xyz Monster]]s are based on the Zords, the giant robots they pilot. ===Etymology=== The name of this archetype is a word play. While 超量 is not a Japanese word itself (the kanji individually mean "super"/"over-" and "amount"), it is the Chinese word for "excess", and is the Chinese name for [[Xyz Monster]]s. Furthermore, with the Main Deck monsters called "Layers", the names of the archetype's cards can also imply a play on "Over Layer(s)" - or, more precisely, a reference to [[Overlay Network|Overlay]]. So, the Japanese kanji may make a reference to how this archetype is centered about colossal robots, while the Chinese meaning seems to make a play with "Xyz"/"Overlay".<ref>{{cite web | url = http://ygorganization.com/translating-is-hard-sometimes/ | title = &#91;OCG&#93; Translating the new Xyz archetype | author = Deadborder | publisher = The Organization | date = October 13, 2015 | accessdate = October 30, 2015 }}</ref> The "Quant" and "Quantum" component of the English name of the archetype is likely comes from the Japanese/Chinese word for quantum, 量子 (Japanese: ''ryōshi''; Chinese: ''liàngzǐ''). ==Members== ===Main Deck=== ====Super Quantum==== {{Main|Super Quantum}} {| class="wikitable" ! scope="col" | Level ! scope="col" | Attribute ! scope="col" | Super Quantum ! scope="col" | Origin ! scope="col" | Normal or Special Summon effect ! scope="col" | Graveyard effect ! scope="col" | Corresponding Super Quantal Mech Beast |- | 3 | [[WATER]] | [[Super Quantum Blue Layer|Blue Layer]] | {{fandom|powerrangers|Megumi Misaki|BlueDolphin}} | Adds a "Super Quant" card from the controller's Deck to their hand, except "Blue Layer". | Shuffles up to 3 targeted "Super Quant" cards from the controller's Graveyard into the Deck. | [[Super Quantal Mech Beast Grampulse|Grampulse]] |- | 4 | [[WIND]] | [[Super Quantum Green Layer|Green Layer]] | {{fandom|powerrangers|Hayate|GingaGreen}} / {{fandom|powerrangers|Damon Henderson|Green Galaxy Ranger}} | Special Summons a "Super Quant" monster from the controller's hand. | The controller discards a "Super Quant" card as a cost to draw a card. | [[Super Quantal Mech Beast Aeroboros|Aeroboros]] |- | 5 | [[FIRE]] | [[Super Quantum Red Layer|Red Layer]] | {{fandom|powerrangers|Kakeru Shishi|GaoRed}} / {{fandom|powerrangers|Cole Evans|Red Lion Ranger}} | Adds a targeted "Super Quant" card in the controller's Graveyard to their hand. | Special Summons a targeted "Super Quant" monster from the Graveyard, except "Red Layer", but it cannot activate its effects. | [[Super Quantal Mech Beast Magnaliger|Magnaliger]] |- | 7 | [[LIGHT]] | [[Super Quantum White Layer|White Layer]] | {{fandom|powerrangers|Gai Ikari|Gokai Silver}} | The controller can send 1 "Super Quant" monster from their Deck to the GY and change this card's Attribute and Level to the same as the sent monster's. | The controller can add 1 "Super Quantal Fairy Alphan" from their Deck or GY to the hand. | [[Super Quantal Mech Beast Lusterrex|Lusterrex]] |- |} ====Other==== {| class="wikitable" ! scope="col" | Level ! scope="col" | Attribute ! scope="col" | Super Quant ! scope="col" | Origin |- | 1 | [[LIGHT]] | [[Super Quantal Fairy Alphan|Alphan]] | {{fandom|powerrangers|Alpha 5|Alpha 5}} / {{fandom|powerrangers|BOMPER|BOMPER}} |- |} ===Extra Deck=== ====Super Quantal Mech Beast==== {{Main|Super Quantal Mech Beast}} {| class="wikitable" ! scope="col" | Rank ! scope="col" | Attribute ! scope="col" | Super Quantal Mech Beast ! scope="col" | Origin ! scope="col" | Detach effect ! scope="col" | Corresponding Super Quantum |- | 3 | [[WATER]] | [[Super Quantal Mech Beast Grampulse|Grampulse]] | {{fandom|powerrangers|Choujuu Gattai Liverobo#Aqua Dolphin|AquaDolphin}} | Destroys a targeted Spell/Trap Card on the field. | [[Super Quantum Blue Layer|Blue Layer]] |- | 4 | [[WIND]] | [[Super Quantal Mech Beast Aeroboros|Aeroboros]] | {{fandom|powerrangers|Seijuu Gattai GingaiOh#Starbeast Gingalcon|Starbeast Gingalcon}} / {{fandom|powerrangers|Galaxy Megazord#Condor Galactabeast|Condor Galactabeast}} | Changes a targeted monster on the field to face-down Defense Position. | [[Super Quantum Green Layer|Green Layer]] |- | 5 | [[FIRE]] | [[Super Quantal Mech Beast Magnaliger|Magnaliger]] | {{fandom|powerrangers|Power Animals#GaoLion|GaoLion}} / {{fandom|powerrangers|Wildzords#Red Lion Wildzord|Red Lion Wildzord}} | Destroys a targeted monster on the field. | [[Super Quantum Red Layer|Red Layer]] |- | 7 | [[LIGHT]] | [[Super Quantal Mech Beast Lusterrex|Lusterrex]] | {{fandom|powerrangers|GoZyuJin#GoZyuRex|GoZyuRex}} | Negates the effects of a targeted Effect Monster on the field. | [[Super Quantum White Layer|White Layer]] |- |} ====Other==== {| class="wikitable" ! scope="col" | Rank/Link Rating ! scope="col" | Attribute ! scope="col" | Super Quant ! scope="col" | Origin |- | Rank 12 | [[LIGHT]] | [[Super Quantal Mech King Great Magnus|Great Magnus]] | {{fandom|powerrangers|Category:Megazord|Megazord}} |- | Link-3 | [[LIGHT]] | [[Neo Super Quantal Mech King Blaster Magna|Blaster Magna]] | {{fandom|powerrangers|Category:Ultrazord|Ultrazord}} |- |} ==Playing style== The "Super Quant" archetype's main goal is to rapidly Xyz Summon its Xyz Monsters and then use their effects to disrupt the opponent's field and strategies, as well as attack with overwhelming force. The archetype also focuses on the use of its Main Deck monsters as an easy way to search out its resources from the Deck or recycle them from the Graveyard, enabling repetitive looping of Xyz Summons to further field advantage. The archetype's Main Deck monsters are largely comprised of the "[[Super Quantum]]" sub-archetype, whose members each have a different Attribute and a different Level from 3 to 5. Each member also possesses two unique effects, with each member's unique effects focusing on a different location, be it the Deck, hand, or Graveyard. The first unique effect activates if the card is Normal or Special Summoned, while the second unique effect activates if the card is sent to the Graveyard, allowing it to trigger should they be attached to an Xyz Monster that left the field, or through the act of detaching them while they are currently Xyz Materials. In particular, the unique effects of "[[Super Quantum Blue Layer]]" focus on the Deck, either through searching it for a "Super Quant" card to add to the hand or returning "Super Quant" cards from the Graveyard to it, enabling the archetype to continually cycle through its resources. The unique effects of "[[Super Quantum Green Layer]]" focus on the hand, either through Special Summoning monsters from it or letting the controller draw a card by discarding a "Super Quant" card, triggering the second unique effect of the discarded card if it is a "Super Quantum" monster. The unique effects of "[[Super Quantum Red Layer]]" focus on the Graveyard, either by adding a "Super Quant" card from the Graceyard to the hand or by Special Summoning a "Super Quant" monster from the Graveyard, allowing the controller to recoup cards that may have been discarded with the effects of "Green Layer" or "[[Super Quantal Mech Ship Magnacarrier]]". Additionally, "Red Layer" also possesses a Summoning condition that allows it to be Special Summoned if the controller controls no monsters, allowing all monsters in the sub-archetype to be easily Summoned in order to commence the archetype's combos. "[[Super Quantal Fairy Alphan]]" helps to ease a potential disadvantage with the archetype's Main Deck monsters all being comprised of different Levels, as its first effect allows the controller to target a "Super Quant" monster they control and have the Levels of all other "Super Quant" monsters on their field change to match that of the target, allowing for a convenient way to conventionally Xyz Summon with two Xyz Materials, should the controller not wish to use, or be unable to use, the effect of "Magnacarrier" to Xyz Summon with a single Xyz Material. "Alphan" also plays a major role in initiating the archetype's ability to amass advantage, as its second effect allows the controller to Tribute it as a cost to reveal 3 "Super Quant" monsters with different names from the Deck and have the opponent randomly pick one to be Special Summoned, with the other 2 being sent to the Graveyard. This enables the controller to activate up to 3 "Super Quantum" monster effects simultaneously, enabling a rapid gain of resources for the controller. The archetype's Xyz Monsters are largely comprised of the "[[Super Quantal Mech Beast]]" sub-archetype, which all have different Ranks and Attributes that match the Levels and Attributes of the "Super Quantum" monsters. The "Super Quantal Mech Beast" monsters also possess a few threads of commonality, first of which is an inability to attack if no Xyz Materials are attached to them. They also possess a unique detaching effect that focuses on field disruption, which can also be activated on the opponent's turn if the "Super Quantum" monster with a matching Level and the same Attribute is attached to the Xyz Monster. Finally, they all have a common effect whereby the controller can attach a "Super Quantum" monster from their hand or field to the Xyz Monster, allowing for easy replenishment of Xyz Materials should the monsters be Special Summoned in a manner other than by Xyz Summon, and providing and another avenue by which to use the Graveyard activating effects of the "Super Quantum" monsters. The archetype's boss monster, "[[Super Quantal Mech King Great Magnus]]", supports the "Super Quantal Mech Beast" archetype by allowing the controller the ability to Special Summon 3 monsters with different names of that archetype from their Graveyard should "Great Magnus" itself be sent to the Graveyard. "Great Magnus" also has a series of effects that are applied based on the number of Xyz Materials with different names that are attached to it, all of which are designed to obstruct the opponent in a vein similar to the unique effects of the "Super Quantal Mech Beast" monsters. If it has 2 or more, it can detach an Xyz Material as a cost to shuffle a card on the field into the Deck. Having 4 or more renders "Great Magnus" unaffected by card effects that are not "Super Quant" effects. Finally, if "Great Magnus" has 6 or more such Xyz Materials, it prohibits the opponent from adding cards from their Deck to their hand via card effects. ===Recommended cards=== {{Decklist|Recommended cards |effect monsters = * [[Super Quantal Fairy Alphan]] * [[Super Quantum Blue Layer]] * [[Super Quantum Green Layer]] * [[Super Quantum Red Layer]] * [[Super Quantum White Layer]] * [[Baobaboon]] * [[Electromagnetic Turtle]] * [[Mathematician]] * [[Overlay Booster]] * [[Performage Hat Tricker]] * [[Star Drawing]] * [[Volcanic Shell]] * [[Trias Hierarchia]] |pendulum monsters = * [[Dragodies, the Empowered Warrior]] * [[Dragonox, the Empowered Warrior]] |tuner monsters = * [[Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit]] * [[Diviner of the Herald]] |fusion monsters = * [[Invoked Raidjin]] * [[Sea Monster of Theseus]] * [[Panzer Dragon]] |synchro monsters = * Level 4, 6, 7, 8 Synchro Monsters |xyz monsters = * [[Super Quantal Mech Beast Aeroboros]] * [[Super Quantal Mech Beast Grampulse]] * [[Super Quantal Mech Beast Lusterrex]] * [[Super Quantal Mech Beast Magnaliger]] * [[Super Quantal Mech King Great Magnus]] * [[Artifact Durendal]] * [[Gaia Dragon, the Thunder Charger]] * [[Number 27: Dreadnought Dreadnoid]] * [[Number 61: Volcasaurus]] * [[Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder]] |link monsters = * [[Neo Super Quantal Mech King Blaster Magna]] * [[Linkuriboh]] * [[Qliphort Genius]] * [[Infinitrack Fortress Megaclops]] * [[Saryuja Skull Dread]] |spells = * [[Super Quantal Alphancall Appeal]] * [[Super Quantal Alphan Spike]] * [[Super Quantal Mech Ship Magnacarrier]] * [[Emergency Teleport]] * [[Message in a Bottle]] * [["Infernoble Arms - Durendal"]] * [[Instant Fusion]] * [[One for One]] * [[Overlay Regen]] * [[Reasoning]] * [[Slash Draw]] * [[Stoic Challenge]] * [[Terraforming]] * [[Time-Tearing Morganite]] * [[Generation Force (card)|Generation Force]] ** [[Xyz Burst]] ** [[Xyz Double Back]] ** [[Xyz Revenge]] ** [[Xyz Territory]] ** [[Xyz Unit]] |traps = * [[Super Quantal Mech Sword - Magnaslayer]] * [[Call of the Haunted]] * [[Hi-Five the Sky]] * [[Xyz Reborn]] * [[Xyz Reflect]] * [[Xyz Soul]] * [[Xyz Xtreme !!]] }} ===Official Deck=== {{Decklist|Official Super Quant Deck<ref>https://ygorganization.com/ocg-duelist-festival-2016-obelisk-force-deck-recipes/</ref> |effect monsters = * [[Graff, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss]] * [[Mystic Tomato]] * [[Nefarious Archfiend Eater of Nefariousness]] * [[Obelisk the Tormentor]] * [[Sangan]] * [[Scarm, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss]] * [[Slifer the Sky Dragon]] * [[Super Quantal Fairy Alphan]] x3 * [[Super Quantum Blue Layer]] x3 * [[Super Quantum Green Layer]] x2 * [[Super Quantum Red Layer]] x2 * [[The Winged Dragon of Ra - Immortal Phoenix]] * [[The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode]] * [[The Winged Dragon of Ra]] * [[Tour Guide From the Underworld]] * [[Yubel]] * [[Yubel - Terror Incarnate]] * [[Yubel - The Ultimate Nightmare]] |tuner monsters = * [[Buten]] |fusion monsters = * [[Dante, Pilgrim of the Burning Abyss]] |synchro monsters = * [[Ancient Fairy Dragon]] * [[PSY-Framelord Omega]] * [[Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend]] * [[Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier]] |xyz monsters = * [[Beatrice, Lady of the Eternal]] * [[Dante, Traveler of the Burning Abyss]] * [[Full Armored Black Ray Lancer]] * [[Super Quantal Mech Beast Aeroboros]] x2 * [[Super Quantal Mech Beast Grampulse]] x2 * [[Super Quantal Mech King Great Magnus]] * [[Super Quantal Mech Beast Magnaliger]] x2 |spells = * [[Dark Hole]] * [[Emergency Teleport]] * [[Harpie's Feather Duster]] * [[Monster Reborn]] * [[Mound of the Bound Creator]] x2 * [[One for One]] * [[Pot of Avarice]] * [[Ritual Sanctuary]] x2 * [[Soul Charge]] * [[Super Quantal Mech Ship Magnacarrier]] x2 * [[Terraforming]] * [[Twin Twisters]] |traps = * [[Breakthrough Skill]] * [[Call of the Haunted]] x3 * [[Limit Reverse]] x3 * [[Rise to Full Height]] * [[Super Quantal Mech Sword - Magnaslayer]] }} ===Weaknesses=== * [[Lose 1 Turn]] will slow down your opponent, much like most decks involving Special Summons. ==Trivia== * Each "Super Quantal Mech Beast" monster has 400 more ATK and 400 less DEF than the monster 1 Rank lower than it. As a result, each one has a combined ATK and DEF of 4600. A similar pattern can be found in the "Super Quantum" monsters, each of which has 400 more ATK and 600 less DEF than the monster 1 Level lower than it. == References == <references /> {{Super Quant}} [[Category:TCG and OCG archetypes]]
