Free Maestroke the Symphony Djinn

2 Level 4 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to target 1 face-up Attack Position monster your opponent controls; change it to face-down Defense Position. If a face-up "Djinn" Xyz Monster you control would be destroyed, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from that monster instead.

Maestroke sports a respectable 1800 ATK and a rather sturdy 2300 DEF. 2300 doesn't defend a lot if he were 2100, although 2300 with a boost from Gates of Dark World does start walling some big things. 2100 (with a Gates boost) is also pretty good, and can get pretty astounding from further boosts from Muzurhythem or Temtempo, or also 2600 ATK from a single Solidarity.

Now for his effect. Now, once per turn, during your Main Phase, Maestroke can flip an opposing Attack position monster facedown. It really is a shame he can't target monsters already in Defence position. Even being a Quick Effect would be useful, but otherwise, you won't use the effect much outside of trying to block a monster's effect (such as Utopia's or Stardust's) or to put an attack target into a more vulnerable state (such as Caius or Stardust).

His protection effect is not necessarily bad. It's better than nothing. However, he takes off the Xyz Material of the monster that's about to be destroyed, which is a problem because for the other Djinn Xyzs, I'd much rather conserve their materials for THEIR own offensive purposes. Maestroke could've been better if he used his own Xyz Material as a Quick Effect so that no Djinn Xyzs can be destroyed that turn. That might be a little broken, but I would still like it if Mae could draw upon his own Material to save at least one Djinn Xyz, or perhaps extending his effect to ALL Xyz's.

A good wall yes, and can get some pretty scary boosts off the other Djinns. I might splash him into random decks, if only to make the most out of his flipping effect. I'd use him in a Djinn Deck, but the question arises to why not summon Queen Dragun, another Rank 4 Djinn Xyz with 400 more ATK. But at least Maestroke is a safer option lest Queen Dragun runs into a Bottomless Trap Hole and whatnot. I've been hearing and seeing things how Maestroke is a powerful Extra Deck splash. You can take other people's words for it, but, in terms of splashability, I do agree that Maestroke is useful, albeit very limited in what he can accomplish.
