He has a big body and a powerful effect, albeit one that requires some planning to use without it backfiring. Topologic Bomber Dragon is a Link-4 that requires 2+ effect monsters to summon. Still, in decks running token generators for Link Summons, Ningirsu is a staple. If Ningirsu is summoned in your EMZ, he will have to be removed before you can summon another extra deck monster.

Think of Ningirsu as the Scrap Dragon of Link Monsters: a good, generic removal option. Scapegoat can easily make him, too, using the same method. Maybe you’ll find a way to get 1 draw off.) He can be made easily off of one Gofu (I’m beginning to see a pattern here…) by summoning LInk Spider with one of the tokens, then using Gofu and the second token to make Proxy Dragon.

(In a deck that isn’t World Chalice-based, you probably won’t. Ningirsu also possesses a decent 2500 ATK and a draw effect should you have other World Chalice monsters on the board. Once per turn, you can use his effect to send a card from each side of the field to the Graveyard. Remember how I said that non-targeting, non-destruction removal was still pretty rare in Yu-Gi-Oh!? Well, this guy has it. He is a Link-3 that requires 2+ Link Monsters as material for summon. Ningirsu the World Chalice Warrior is the second of the generic Link Monsters from the World Chalice archetype. If your deck can make Ib, you should consider adding her to your extra deck. This means that you have extra protection for your key monsters summoned to a zone she points to.

You can also take advantage of Ib’s second effect: if a monster linked to her would be destroyed by card effect, you can send her to the Graveyard at resolution instead. Plus, the two Ibs leave three EMZs for you to use for further extra deck summons. Non-targeting, non-destruction removal is still relatively rare in Yu-Gi-Oh! outside of Kaijus, so making this play virtually assures your survival, even if your other extra deck monster is dealt with. If two Ibs are co-linked, they cannot be removed by normal means and present a problem for the opponent. When Ib is linked to another monster, she cannot be targeted or destroyed by card effects or battle. This is an impressive board due to Ib’s effect. From here, you can fuse into Invoked Magellanica for sheer size, Invoked Caliga for a floodgate effect sure to frustrate your opponent, or, if you have access to a LIGHT monster, Invoked Mechaba, the most powerful Invoked fusion.
