DB1-EN120
Mystical Elf
LIGHT / Spellcaster / Level 4 / ATK 800 / DEF 2000
A delicate elf that lacks offense, but has a terrific defense backed by mystical power.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: She packs 2000 DEF and not a lot of playability.
DB1-EN119
Polymerization (original artwork)
Normal Spell
Send Fusion Material Monsters that are listed by a Fusion Monster Card from your hand or your side of the field to the Graveyard, and Special Summon the Fusion Monster from your Fusion Deck.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: The only Spell Card that summons Fusion Monsters! Certainly should be used on the decent Fusion Monsters no doubt!
DB1-EN118
Trap Hole
Normal Trap
When your opponent Normal Summons or Flip Summons a monster with an ATK of 1000 points or more, destroy the monster.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Most Monsters these days do fit this card's requirements but Bottomless destroys and removes the Monster from play.
DB1-EN117
Fissure
Normal Spell
Destroy 1 face-up monster with the lowest ATK on your opponent's side of the field.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Destroy your opponent's only Monster but that's about it.
DB1-EN116
Hinotama
Normal Spell
Inflict 500 points of Direct Damage to your opponent's Life Points.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Same as DB1-EN115's comments.
DB1-EN115
Red Medicine
Normal Spell
Increase your Life Points by 500 points.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Here's a card that's the exact opposite: It's not playable so don't use it.
DB1-EN114
Raigeki
Normal Spell
Destroy all monsters on your opponent's side of the field.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Same as DB1-EN113's comments.
DB1-EN113
Dark Hole
Normal Spell
Destroys all monsters on the field.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Any banned card deserves a 1/5 for being useless except in casual duels. This card is no exception.
DB1-EN112
Umi
Field Spell
Increase the ATK and DEF of all Fish, Sea Serpent, Thunder, and Aqua-Type monsters by 200 points. Decrease the ATK and DEF of all Machine and Pyro-Type monsters by 200 points.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: About the only reason to use this cards with Monsters like Levia Dragon and Amphibius Bugroth but even A Legendary Ocean is better.
DB1-EN111
Dragon Capture Jar
Continuous Trap
As long as this card remains face-up on the field, all face-up Dragon-Type monsters are changed to Defense Position and cannot change their Battle Position.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: If it actually destroyed the Dragon-Type Monsters, then I'd give it a slightly higher rating but that isn't the case so don't use this.
DB1-EN110
Masaki the Legendary Swordsman
EARTH / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1100 / DEF 1100
Legendary swordmaster Masaki is a veteran of over 100 battles.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: A veteran of over 100 losing battles as his stats pale in comparison to even Aqua Madoor and this guy is hardly legendary except for being in probably the worst losing streak in history!
DB1-EN109
Aqua Madoor
WATER / Spellcaster / Level 4 / ATK 1200 / DEF 2000
A wizard of the waters that conjures a liquid wall to crush any enemies that oppose him.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: At last we have a semi-playable Monster! 2000 DEF lets him last longer than previous cards.
DB1-EN108
Dark King of the Abyss
DARK / Fiend / Level 3 / ATK 1200 / DEF 800
It's said that this King of the Netherworld once had the power to rule over the dark.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: See a pattern with the last 6 cards? They all fail to be playable in any deck!
DB1-EN107
Flame Manipulator
FIRE / Spellcaster / Level 3 / ATK 900 / DEF 1000
This Spellcaster attacks enemies with fire-related spells such as "Sea of Flames" and "Wall of Fire".
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: I don't know what a 900 ATK Monster can manipulate but can very well be manipulated into destroying itself in battle.
DB1-EN106
Silver Fang
EARTH / Beast / Level 3 / ATK 1200 / DEF 800
A snow wolf that's beautiful to the eye, but absolutely vicious in battle.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: "absolutely vicious in battle"....hardly! 1200 ATK isn't very vicious in battle at all with even stronger Monsters like Celtic Guardian can take this wolf down.
DB1-EN105
Mammoth Graveyard
EARTH / Dinosaur / Level 3 / ATK 1200 / DEF 800
A mammoth that protects the graves of its pack and is absolutely merciless when facing grave-robbers.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Why is he called Mammoth Graveyard? Maybe because he won't last long on the field and there will be a large pile of them in the Graveyard. No reason is enough to put him in your deck.
DB1-EN104
Celtic Guardian (original artwork)
EARTH / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1400 / DEF 1200
An elf who learned to wield a sword, he baffles enemies with lightning-swift attacks.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: This is the rarity he should've been back in LOB. His stats are truly horrendous and make him a very unplayable Monster.
DB1-EN103
Gaia the Fierce Knight (original artwork)
EARTH / Warrior / Level 7 / ATK 2300 / DEF 2100
A knight whose horse travels faster than the wind. His battle-charge is a force to be reckoned with.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Not very fierce with only 2300 ATK that even Tri-Horned Dragon (2350 ATK) can destroy.
DB1-EN102
Dark Magician (4th artwork)
DARK / Spellcaster / Level 7 / ATK 2500 / DEF 2100
The ultimate wizard in terms of attack and defense.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: I must admit, this artwork of DM is pretty cool, probably the best one thus far but his stats aren't very impressive when Summoned Skull rivals his ATK and is only one tribute. Use only in Yugi decks.
DB1-EN101
Skull Servant
DARK / Zombie / Level 1 / ATK 300 / DEF 200
A skeletal ghost that isn't strong but can mean trouble in large numbers.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Come on, UDE, do you REALLY have to reprint cards this bad? It may have been reprinted but keep it out of your deck.
