The rules of an XYZ monsters are as follows:
– They can be summoned out of the extra deck by overlaying other monsters.
– To do so, you need two or more level 4 monsters to summon one card with a rank that matches the number of materials used (i.e using 3 level 4’s will get you one rank 4 XYZ).
– XYZs can only be summoned during your main phase.
– They have a card type of “XYZ” and a subtype of “machine”. XYZ monsters do not share a name with the materials used to summon them, no matter what their effects are.
-Their levels cannot exceed 10, meaning that you cannot have a XYZ monster whose level is greater than or equal to your opponent’s monsters’ combined levels.
