I'm no expert of Chronomalies, but this doesn't seem to support them with what I would think is the best way, which is getting monster on board for Xyzs, namely Chateau, Pleiades, Gorgonic Guardian, etc. While it does mark 2 MM Zones to work with, you have to invest 2 Chronomalies for it first, and adding a Chronomaly to the hand as return of investment doesn't guarantee it will translate into a follow-up Xyz Summon of their disruptive monsters. Then, without comboing with the Chronomaly Xyzs, a Quick Effect ATK boost is relatively easy to play around. Then again, the ATK boost effect encourages the opponent to remove it by effect, leading into the cool float effect, but that's a rather passive play.

The intention is to help more with Chateau's wincon of enabling a Machu Mach OTK, but I realized, however, that Machu Mech doesn't actually do anything to modified ATK, it just picks up the bonus for itself (which is cool, but making the opponent's monster stronger isn't the point). The problem is that it's hard to give the card some character without it being another Isolde (in that it just does a search and summons a guy for minimal cost).  I agree, after looking at it again, it's a little underwhelming. I've changed some things around to give it a more interesting niche and be a bit more helpful in getting out Xyz.
