I actually like these cards, but some of them have the potential to be very abuseable. Potential, but not overtly broken.

Destruction Tyrant Lord is essentially a floodgate against Field Spells and Continuous Spell/Traps, which can lock down certain decks that rely on them like Aleister the Invoker and Magical Meltdown, but the Quick destruction effect not being limited to a hard once per turn is damning. I'm almost certain that you can link it away (with another monster) and free up your Main Monster Zone to Special Summon another one of it, which you could do if you were going second against a continuous Spell/Trap heavy deck. This, in turn, could lead to popping two opponent's monsters in one go. The only reason I don't think it's overpowered is that it's a sort of a niche situation and takes quite a few resources to abuse... Except in Dragon Link, which would surely have this as a Side Deck option due to being great against certain decks going second.

Schrodinger's Blades are actually quite underpowered in today's meta, purely because it requires being destroyed by battle, which rarely happens nowadays. You can probably run this into an opponent's monster to destroy itself and pop what it was trying to destroy, but again, niche situation. Still a cool card though.

Rank-Down Limiting Sigil is a cool anti-Xyz tech for Xyz decks, but it heavily relies on the opponent having an Xyz monster a Rank or two higher than an Xyz monster in your GY. Fortunately, the summoning of an Xyz from your GY is optional. This just makes the card an Xyz destroying card. Nicely designed, but not many decks would try and use it (other than as a Side Deck option for Xyz decks).

The Progenitor of Fire and Lightning is sort of useless due to the fact its effect only happens on Main Phase 2, which doesn't even occur on your own turn going first, and opens you up to being negated and disrupted going second. Its protection effect is nice, but it's sort of pointless when the card itself has no other value than being a much worse Raidraptors – Ultimate Falcon. Still cool, but not sure how it would be used, let alone summoned effectively. I can only think of I:P Masquerana being able to do anything with it, but why would you use her for it when Underworld Goddess of the Closed World is a much better alternative, one that removes a problematic monster whenever you want?

Beyond the Quasar, I think, is the strongest card in this set. Let's ignore the typo near the end of the text and focus on it essentially giving archetypes with level 4 machines (Gimmick Puppet, Time Thief, Orcust, Photon, Gadgets, and etc) access to the Rank 5 Cyber Dragon Nova. This, in turn, gives them a negate in the form of Cyber Dragon Infinity (with 2 Materials), which was one of the reasons why Tellarknight Ptolemaeus was banned in the first place. Granted, some of those archetypes are very underpowered right now, but this will be a key combo piece in some Machine decks. Not to mention, limits Card design options for LIGHT Machines if it's easily cheated out by this thing. Thankfully, the only other cards you can Summon with this thing, that are worth Summoning, are Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder, Superdimensional Robot Galaxy Destroyer, and Constellar Ptolemy M7. From those options, only two are usable (because Zeus requires two materials to even use its effect), and they're good because you can essentially bounce a monster (Ptolemy) or completely destroy their backrow with the only way to respond to it being monster effects (Galaxy Destroyer). To sum it up, this one card gives some archetypes a back row clear or a negate.

I'm open to being criticized. I'm not a perfect human being who knows when or where he fucked up, but truly willing to learn.
