Changes

** This is most evident when comparing the two visually: both Dark Synchro and Xyz Monsters are black cards with a left-aligned row of modified star pips to represent an alternate property to standard Levels: [[Negative Level]]s or Ranks, respectively. Both have also been considered "opposite" to standard Synchro Monsters.

** Gameplay-wise, this is noticeable when looking at the "ultimate" Dark Synchro Monster, [[Ultimaya Tzolkin the Ultimate God (manga)|Ultimaya Tzolkin]], whose Level of 0 required the [[Dark Tuner]] and other monster used as its Material to be the same Level, much like an Xyz Summon. While no longer requiring a [[Tuner]] - Dark or otherwise - this Level-matching mechanic remains intact for Xyz Summoning, though now requiring the Materials to be of a particular Level.
