Overall, the XYZ monster mechanic is one of the game's easiest to understand, and these cards have found their way into meta strategies for well over a decade at this point
Youll play it in decks with this color combination as a default tap land most of the time, and it helps that blue, red, and black colors have plenty of ways to draw and discard cards between looting and wheeling
But usually, it's because they create a problematic or unfun game environment
Since this monster already has 2,600 attack points in his base form, giving him a piece of equipment only makes it that more dangerous
