Regenerating Mummy
DARK / Zombie / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1500
When this card is sent directly from your hand to the Graveyard by an effect of a card controlled by your opponent, return this card from the Graveyard to your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: 1800 ATK isn't half bad to start any duel off! Give him some support and he'll do well for you!
AST-078
Double Coston
DARK / Zombie / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 1650
If you Tribute Summon a DARK monster, you can treat this 1 monster as 2 Tribute Monsters for the Tribute Summon.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: The only place this card should be is in a Zombie deck.
AST-077
Grave Protector
DARK / Fiend / Level 4 / ATK 0 / DEF 2000
As long as this card remains face-up on the field, monsters that are destroyed as a result of battle are returned to the owner's Deck instead of being sent to the Graveyard. The Deck is then shuffled.
RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: Give him some support and he'll work wonders for you especially if you set Exodia Pieces by the effect of Cyber Jar.
AST-076
Emissary of the Afterlife
DARK / Fiend / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 600
When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, each player selects 1 Level 3 or lower Normal Monster from his/her Deck, and adds it to his/her hand after showing it to the opponent. The Decks are then shuffled.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: 1600 ATK doesn't cut it anymore so don't bother using this card.
AST-075
Spirit Caller
LIGHT / Spellcaster / Level 3 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1000
FLIP: You can Special Summon 1 Level 3 or lower Normal Monster from your Graveyard to your side of the field.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: He won't be calling many spirits with low stats of (1000/1000) so just leave him alone.
AST-074
Elephant Statue of Disaster
EARTH / Rock / Level 3 / ATK 1500 / DEF 0
When this card is sent directly from your hand to the Graveyard by an effect of a card controlled by your opponent, inflict 2000 points of damage to your opponent's Life Points.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: The disaster will come when your opponent summons GAF and gives it Fairy Meteor Crush while you have 2300 or less lifepoints. Don't play this card.
AST-073
Elephant Statue of Blessing
EARTH / Rock / Level 3 / ATK 1500 / DEF 0
When this card is sent directly from your hand to the Graveyard by an effect of a card controlled by your opponent, increase your Life Points by 2000 points.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: You will be saying your blessings alright... ...about how you didn't play this Monster. 0 DEF doesn't get a Monster like this anywhere neither does 1500 ATK so don't use it.
AST-072
Absorbing Kid from the Sky
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 4 / ATK 1300 / DEF 1000
When this card destroys a monster and sends it to the Graveyard as a result of battle, increase your Life Points by the Level of the destroyed monster x 300 points.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: With mediocre stats of (1300/1000), it won't be destroying many Monsters. Just don't use it.
AST-071
Ghost Knight of Jackal
EARTH / Beast-Warrior / Level 5 / ATK 1700 / DEF 1600
You can Special Summon an opponent's monster that is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard by this card as a result of battle to your side of the field in face-up Defense Position.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: There's no point in summoning this card with stats of (1700/1600) and 5 stars when we have Jinzo and SS that could take this card out and with stats that low, it won't destroy much.
AST-070
3-Hump Lacooda
EARTH / Beast / Level 3 / ATK 500 / DEF 1500
If there are 3 face-up "3-Hump Lacooda" cards on your side of the field, offer 2 of them as Tributes to draw 3 cards.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: With such weak stats of (500/1500), I don't know why you'd keep 3 copies in your deck. There are better Beast-Type Monsters than this.
AST-069
Sand Gambler
LIGHT / Spellcaster / Level 3 / ATK 300 / DEF 1600
Toss a coin 3 times. If all 3 results are Heads, destroy all monsters on your opponent's side of the field. If all 3 results are Tails, destroy all monsters on your side of the field. This effect can only be used once per turn during your Main Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: This is a very risky card. If the result is 3 heads, you destroy your opponent's Monsters and if 3 tails, your Monsters are destroyed. With 1600 DEF, it won't last long.
AST-068
Desertapir
EARTH / Beast / Level 3 / ATK 900 / DEF 300
FLIP: Flip 1 face-up monster on the field into face-down Defense Position. You cannot select "Desertapir".
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Guardian Sphinx is better than this card so use that.
AST-067
Legacy Hunter
EARTH / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1500
When this card attacks a face-down Defense Position monster and destroys it and sends it to the Graveyard as a result of battle, your opponent returns 1 random card from his/her hand to his/her Deck. His/her Deck is then shuffled.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: We have better Warrior Monsters out there like Goblin Attack Force and Giant Orc that are better than this card so use them instead.
AST-066
Nubian Guard
FIRE / Warrior / Level 2 / ATK 500 / DEF 500
When this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points, you can return 1 Continuous Spell Card from your Graveyard to the top of your Deck.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: This card is equally as bad as Aswan Apparition so use neither card.
AST-065
Protector of the Sanctuary
EARTH / Fiend / Level 4 / ATK 1100 / DEF 1900
As long as this card remains face-up on the field, your opponent cannot draw a card(s) except during Draw Phases.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: The 1900 DEF is the only reason why this card's rating is 2/5 besides his effect.
AST-064
Aswan Apparition
DARK / Fiend / Level 3 / ATK 500 / DEF 500
When this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points, you can return 1 Trap Card from your Graveyard to the top of your Deck.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Don't play him.
AST-063
Theban Nightmare
LIGHT / Fiend / Level 4 / ATK 1500 / DEF 500
While there are no cards in the hand and in the Spell & Trap Card Zone of this card's controller, increase the ATK of this card by 1500 points.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: This card's effect is just horrid. You have to have only Monsters out, no hand or Spell or Trap Cards on your field. Use AoD and BP instead of this card's effect.
AST-062
Spirit of the Pharaoh
LIGHT / Zombie / Level 6 / ATK 2500 / DEF 2000
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by the effect of "The First Sarcophagus". When this card is Special Summoned successfully, you can Special Summon up to 4 Level 2 or lower Zombie-Type Normal Monsters from your Graveyard.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: This Monster should simply be put to rest as he is not playable in any deck except maybe Zombie decks.
AST-061
Pharaonic Protector
EARTH / Zombie / Level 2 / ATK 900 / DEF 0
The mummy of a soldier that has been guarding the royal family for thousands of years. Even now, its spirit does not allow anybody to trespass.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Protector? Um I think Upper Deck screwed up on his name as with 0 DEF, he won't be protecting anyone/anything.
AST-060
Pharaoh's Servant
DARK / Zombie / Level 2 / ATK 900 / DEF 0
An apparition of those said to formerly serve the Pharaoh. It has tremendous loyalty that does not waiver.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Simply not worth playing.
