PGLD-EN029
Ghost of a Grudge
Normal Trap
If your opponent has 8 or more cards in their Graveyard: The ATK of all monsters your opponent currently controls become 0.
GOLD SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Against Decks like Lightsworn where there will likely be enough cards in their Graveyard to activate this, you'll spare your LPs and your monsters from harm but it does not affect monsters played after its effect is used.
PGLD-EN028
Gagaga Academy Emergency Network
Normal Spell
If your opponent controls a monster and you control no monsters: Special Summon 1 "Gagaga" monster from your Deck. You cannot Special Summon any other monsters, except by Xyz Summon, during the turn you activate this card. You can only activate 1 "Gagaga Academy Emergency Network" per turn.
GOLD SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It brings out any Gagaga monster lurking in your Deck and at least lets you Xyz Summon that turn but you need to have no monsters on the field to even use the card.
PGLD-EN027
Rank-Up Magic Argent Chaos Force
Normal Spell
Target 1 Rank 5 or higher Xyz Monster you control; Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 "Number C" or "CXyz" monster that is 1 Rank higher than that monster you control, by using it as the Xyz Material. (This Special Summon is treated as an Xyz Summon. Xyz Materials attached to it also become Xyz Materials on the Summoned monster.) When a Rank 5 or higher Xyz Monster is Special Summoned to your side of the field while this card is in your Graveyard (except during the Damage Step): You can add this card from your Graveyard to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Rank-Up-Magic Argent Chaos Force" once per Duel.
GOLD SECRET RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: More like "Roadkill-Dumb-Down Mistake Absolutely Crappy Farce" because it's that bad. It needs a Rank 5+ Xyz Monster and after all that is done, you get one time in the duel to retrieve this card to use for later. It almost makes Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force and others look good.
PGLD-EN026
Tri-Edge Levia
WATER / Sea Serpent-Type Xyz / Rank 3 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1500
3 Level 3 monsters
Banish any monster destroyed by battle with this card. Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 face-up monster on the field; it loses 800 ATK, also its effects are negated. These changes last until the end of this turn.
GOLD SECRET RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Both of its effects can be found in a more accessible manner and while they may not be that good, they don't get better when made harder to resolve.
PGLD-EN025
Number 82: Heartlandraco
EARTH / Dragon-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK 2000 / DEF 1500
2 Level 4 monsters
While you control a face-up Spell Card(s), this card cannot be targeted for attacks. Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; this turn, this card can attack your opponent directly, but other monsters cannot attack.
GOLD SECRET RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: It's either vulnerable to attacks or vulnerable to effects and when it attacks directly by its effect, it's the only monster that gets to attack at all.
PGLD-EN024
Number 31: Embodiment of Punishment
DARK / Fiend-Type Xyz / Rank 1 / ATK 500 / DEF 500
2 Level 1 monsters
Once per turn, during either player’s turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; change all monsters your opponent controls to face-up Attack Position, also all monsters your opponent currently controls must attack this card this turn, if able. While you control "Number 31: Embodiment of Crime", this card gains these effects.
● This card cannot be destroyed by battle or by card effects while it has Xyz Material.
● Your opponent takes any battle damage you would have taken from attacks on this card.

GOLD SECRET RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Bringing this guy out is certainly a worthy punishment for you because you're going to pay for being so foolish as you leave yourself with a weakling on the field that is literally nothing without its brother on the field.  
PGLD-EN023
Number 13: Embodiment of Crime
DARK / Fiend-Type Xyz / Rank 1 / ATK 500 / DEF 500
2 Level 1 monsters
Once per turn, during either player’s turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; change all monsters your opponent controls to face-up Attack Position, also all monsters your opponent currently controls must attack this card this turn, if able. While you control "Number 31: Embodiment of Punishment", this card gains these effects.
● This card cannot be destroyed by battle or by card effects while it has Xyz Material.
● Your opponent takes any battle damage you would have taken from attacks on this card.

GOLD SECRET RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Very weak on its own and will leave you and it vulnerable if you don't control Number 31.
PGLD-EN022
Number C9: Chaos Dyson Sphere
LIGHT / Machine-Type Xyz / Rank 10 / ATK 3600 / DEF 3200
3 Level 10 monsters
At the start of the Damage Step, if this card battles an opponent's monster: You can attach that monster to this card as a face-up Xyz Material. Once per turn: You can inflict 300 damage to your opponent for each Xyz Material attached to this card. If this card has "Number 9: Dyson Sphere" as an Xyz Material, it gains this effect.
● Once per turn: You can detach any number of Xyz Materials from this card; inflict 800 damage to your opponent for each.
GOLD SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: The best part of the effect is its first effect since you don't enter damage calculation and make the other monster Xyz Material and you can inflict some burn damage for each of those materials without detaching anything but the rest needs the original to be part of that to be unlocked.
PGLD-EN021
Number C88: Gimmick Puppet Disaster Leo
DARK / Machine-Type Xyz / Rank 9 / ATK 3500 / DEF 2500
4 Level 9 monsters
Must be Special Summoned with a "Rank-Up-Magic" Spell Card targeting "Number 88: Gimmick Puppet of Leo", and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. This card cannot be targeted by card effects. Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; inflict 1000 damage to your opponent. During your End Phase, if your opponent's Life Points are 2000 or less, and this card has no Xyz Materials, you win the Duel.
GOLD SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Generally you'd want to use a Rank-Up-Magic card to bring it out and it aids to get you victory by its effect but is pretty vulnerable to even attacks and your opponent needs to have 2000 or less LPs while this guy is out of Xyz Materials for you to win that way.
PGLD-EN020
Number C40: Gimmick Puppet of Dark Strings
DARK / Machine-Type Xyz / Rank 9 / ATK 3300 / DEF 2000
3 Level 9 monsters
When this card is Special Summoned: Destroy the monsters with String Counters, and if you do, draw 1 card, then inflict damage to your opponent equal to the highest original ATK among those destroyed monsters in the Graveyard (your choice, if tied). Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; place 1 String Counter on each face-up monster your opponent controls.
GOLD SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Requiring 3 Level 9s for an Xyz Monster that can do little without monsters with String Counters on them and while he can put one on each of your opponent's monsters, it's too late for him to destroy them by then unless you revive it afterward.
PGLD-EN019
Number C15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Hunter
DARK / Machine-Type Xyz / Rank 9 / ATK 2500 / DEF 1500
3 Level 9 monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 card your opponent controls; destroy it, and if you do, and it was a monster, inflict damage to your opponent equal to its original ATK.
GOLD SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It deals the full ATK of the monster you destroy but even with a Rank-Up-Magic card, it's pretty difficult to get out and is weak as a whole.
PGLD-EN018
Number C6: Chronomaly Chaos Atlandis
LIGHT / Machine-Type Xyz / Rank 7 / ATK 3300 / DEF 3300
3 Level 7 monsters
If you activate any of this card's effects, your opponent takes no further damage this turn. Once per turn: You can target 1 monster your opponent controls; equip that target to this card as an Equip Spell Card whose effect makes this card gain 1000 ATK. If this card has "Number 6: Chronomaly Atlandis" as an Xyz Material, it gains this effect.
● You can detach 3 Xyz Materials from this card and send all "Number" monsters equipped by this card's effect to the Graveyard (min. 1); make your opponent's Life Points 100.
GOLD SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It can leave your opponent barely clinging on but you can't finish them off and will only do so after equipping it with Number monsters, and that's if you have its original form, which is probably the best way to bring this guy out.
PGLD-EN017
Blackfeather Darkrage Dragon
DARK / Dragon-Type Synchro / Level 8 / ATK 2800 / DEF 1600
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
Once per turn, when you take damage: You can send up to 5 cards from the top of your Deck to the Graveyard, then if any monsters were sent to the Graveyard by this effect, this card gains 400 ATK.
GOLD SECRET RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: His regular self back in The Shining Darkness was terrible as it is so crippling it further only makes it an awful Gold Secret Rare card.
PGLD-EN016
Beelze of the Diabolic Dragons
DARK / Dragon-Type Synchro / Level 8 / ATK 3000 / DEF 3000
1 DARK Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
Cannot be destroyed by battle or by card effects. When you take damage from an attack involving this card, or from an opponent's card effect: This card gains ATK equal to the damage you took.
GOLD SECRET RARE
Rating: 4
Comments: There's EVERYTHING to love about this card: Its ATK and DEF, indestructibility and getting stronger whenever you take damage!
