||||
Rise of
the True Dragons (SR02-EN025) Return of the Dragon Lords |
||||
SPELL | Normal Spell | Level | ATK: DEF: |
Pendulum Scale: |
Target 1 Level 7 or 8 Dragon-Type monster in your Graveyard;
Special Summon it. If a Dragon-Type monster(s) you control would
be destroyed by battle or card effect, you can banish this card
from your Graveyard instead. (Super Rare) |
||||
Rating: 2 out of 5 Pretty specific, but with Monster Reborn forbidden, it can help fill the gap. |
||||
Rise of
the True Dragons (SR02-EN024) Ruins of the Divine Dragon Lords |
||||
SPELL | Continuous Spell | Level | ATK: DEF: |
Pendulum Scale: |
If a monster(s) is Special Summoned, except from the Graveyard,
while you control a Level 7 or 8 Dragon-Type monster: That
face-up Special Summoned monster(s) has its effects negated
until the end of this turn (even if this card leaves the field).
Once per turn: You can send 1 other face-up card you control to
the Graveyard; Special Summon 1 "Dragon Lord Token"
(Dragon-Type/LIGHT/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0). If this card is in your Graveyard: You can send 1 Level 7 or 8 Dragon-Type monster from your hand or face-up from your field to the Graveyard; add this card to your hand. (Super Rare) |
||||
Rating: 1 out of 5 This is asking for quite a bit just to negate 1 monster's effect and the other effect is costlier to get Tokens. |
||||
Rise of
the True Dragons (SR02-EN004) Guardian of Felgrand |
||||
LIGHT | Warrior / Effect | Level 4 | ATK: 500 DEF: 500 |
Pendulum Scale: |
If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can equip 1
Level 7 or 8 Dragon-Type monster from your hand or Graveyard to
this card. This card gains ATK and DEF equal to half the ATK and
DEF of the monster equipped to it by this effect. You can
Tribute 1 monster and this card, then target 1 Level 7 or 8
Dragon-Type monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it. (Common) |
||||
Rating: 1 out of 5 A flea getting its mits on an elephant that can give a max of 2000 ATK is pretty laughable. |
||||
Rise of
the True Dragons (SR02-EN003) Paladin of Felgrand |
||||
LIGHT | Warrior / Effect | Level 4 | ATK: 1700 DEF: 300 |
Pendulum Scale: |
If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can equip 1
Level 7 or 8 Dragon-Type monster from your hand or Deck to this
card. This card is unaffected by other monsters' effects, while
equipped with an Equip Card. You can Tribute 1 monster and this
card, then target 1 Level 7 or 8 Dragon-Type monster in your
Graveyard; Special Summon it. (Common) |
||||
Rating: 1 out of 5 You already have Darkness Metal in this Deck. Why do you need this weak substitute? |
||||
Rise of
the True Dragons (SR02-EN002) Dragon Knight of Creation |
||||
LIGHT | Dragon / Effect | Level 4 | ATK: 1800 DEF: 600 |
Pendulum Scale: |
Increase this card's Level by 4 during your opponent's turn
only. When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle
and sends it to the Graveyard: You can send 1 Level 7 or 8
Dragon-Type monster from your Deck to the Graveyard. You can
send 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard, then target 1 Level
7 or 8 Dragon-Type monster in your Graveyard; send this card to
the Graveyard, and if you do, Special Summon that monster. You
can only use this effect of "Dragon Knight of Creation" once per
turn. (Super Rare) |
||||
Rating: 3 out of 5 Herald of Creation is back, and about as useful. |
||||
Rise of
the True Dragons (SR02-EN001) Divine Dragon Lord Felgrand |
||||
LIGHT | Dragon / Effect | Level 8 | ATK: 2800 DEF: 2800 |
Pendulum Scale: |
If this card is Special Summoned from the Graveyard: You can
target 1 monster your opponent controls or in their Graveyard;
banish it, and if you do, this card gains ATK and DEF equal to
the banished monster's original Level/Rank x 100. If this card
destroys an opponent's monster by battle: You can target 1 Level
7 or 8 Dragon-Type monster in the Graveyard, except "Divine
Dragon Lord Felgrand"; Special Summon it to your field. (Ultra Rare) |
||||
Rating: 3 out of 5 The last effect makes it all worthwhile, and this is quite a bit better than the version from the original Deck. |
||||
Rise of
the True Dragons (SR02-EN000) Arkbrave Dragon |
||||
LIGHT | Dragon / Effect | Level 7 | ATK: 2400 DEF: 2000 |
Pendulum Scale: |
If this card is Special Summoned from the Graveyard: You can
banish as many face-up Spell/Trap Cards your opponent controls
as possible, and if you do, this card gains 200 ATK and DEF for
each card banished. Once per turn, during the Standby Phase, if
this card is in the Graveyard because it was sent there last
turn: You can target 1 Level 7 or 8 Dragon-Type monster in your
Graveyard, except "Arkbrave Dragon"; Special Summon it. (Ultra Rare) |
||||
Rating: 2 out of 5 Has to be Special Summoned from the Graveyard to get the boost, but the other effect isn't too bad either. |
||||
Emperor
of Darkness (SR01-EN034) The Prime Monarch |
||||
TRAP | Continuous Trap | Level | ATK: DEF: |
Pendulum Scale: |
Once per turn: You can target 2 "Monarch" Spell/Trap Crards in
your Graveyard; shuffle them into the Deck, then draw 1 card. If
this card is in your Graveyard: You can banish 1 other "Monarch"
Spell/Trap Card from your Graveyard; Special Summon this card in
Defense Position as a Normal Monster
(Fairy-Type/LIGHT/Level
5/ATK 1000/DEF 2400). (This card is NOT treated as a Trap Card.)
You can only use this effect of "The Prime Monarch" once per
turn. (Common) |
||||
Rating: 1 out of 5 Is it really supposed to be #1? I'd rank just about any other Monarch higher than this. |
||||
Emperor
of Darkness (SR01-EN024) Domain of the True Monarchs |
||||
SPELL | Field Spell | Level | ATK: DEF: |
Pendulum Scale: |
While you have no cards in your Extra Deck and you are the only
player that controls a Tribute Summoned monster, your opponent
cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck. If a Tribute
Summoned monster you control attacks an opponent's monster, it
gains 800 ATK during damage calculation only. Once per turn: You
can reduce the Level of 1 monster with 2800 ATK and 1000 DEF in
your hand by 2 until the end of this turn (even after they are
Summoned/Set, and even if this card leaves the field). (Common) |
||||
Rating: 2 out of 5 Most players don't Tribute Summon much, if at all, which'll make it more likely to achieve the first effect. Not great though. |
||||
Emperor
of Darkness (SR01-EN023) Panthesism of the Monarchs |
||||
SPELL | Normal Spell | Level | ATK: DEF: |
Pendulum Scale: |
Send 1 "Monarch" Spell/Trap Card from your hand to the
Graveyard; draw 2 cards. You can banish this card from your
Graveyard; reveal 3 "Monarch" Spell/Trap Cards from your Deck,
your opponent chooses 1 for you to add to your hand, and you
shuffle the rest back into your Deck. You can only use this
effect of "Pantheism of the Monarchs" once per turn. (Super Rare) |
||||
Rating: 2 out of 5 You may not actually lose anything if you use both effects during the same turn. |
||||
Emperor
of Darkness (SR01-EN015) Garum the Storm Vassal |
||||
WIND | Winged Beast / Effect | Level 3 | ATK: 800 DEF: 1000 |
Pendulum Scale: |
You can return 1 Tribute Summoned monster you control to the
hand; Special Summon this card from your hand, also you cannot
Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck for the rest of this
turn. If this card is Tributed for a Tribute Summon: You can add
1 monster with 800 ATK and 1000 DEF from your Deck to your hand,
except "Garum the Storm Vassal". You can only use each effect of
"Garum the Storm Vassal" once per turn. (Common) |
||||
Rating: 1 out of 5 All this does is make the Monarch more predictable when you inevitably Tribute Summon it again. |
||||
Emperor
of Darkness (SR01-EN014) Berlineth the Firestorm Vassal |
||||
FIRE | Pyro / Effect | Level 3 | ATK: 800 DEF: 1000 |
Pendulum Scale: |
You can discard 1 card; Special Summon this card from your hand,
also you cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck for
the rest of this turn. If this card is Tributed for a Tribute
Summon: You can look at your opponent's hand and banish 1 card
from their hand until the End Phase. You can only use each
effect of "Berlineth the Firestorm Vassal" once per turn. (Common) |
||||
Rating: 1 out of 5 This doesn't really help Tribute Summons at all. |
||||
Emperor
of Darkness (SR01-EN012) Landrobe the Rock Vassal |
||||
EARTH | Rock / Effect | Level 4 | ATK: 800 DEF: 1000 |
Pendulum Scale: |
If this card is in your hand: You can target 1 face-up monster
your opponent controls; you cannot Special Summon monsters from
the Extra Deck for the rest of this turn, also Special Summon
this card, and if you do, change that monster to face-down
Defense Position. If this card is Tributed for a Tribute Summon:
You can target 1 monster with 800 ATK and 1000 DEF in your
Graveyard, except "Landrobe the Rock Vassal"; add it to your
hand. You can only use each effect of "Landrobe the Rock Vassal"
once per turn. (Common) |
||||
Rating: 2 out of 5 A 2-for-one deal that could lead to a Tribute Summon as well. |
||||
Emperor
of Darkness (SR01-EN011) Mithra the Thunder Vassal |
||||
LIGHT | Thunder / Effect | Level 2 | ATK: 800 DEF: 1000 |
Pendulum Scale: |
If this card is in your hand: You
can activate this effect; you cannot Special Summon monsters
from the Extra Deck for the rest of this turn, also Special
Summon this card, and if you do, Special Summon 1 "Vassal Token"
(Thunder-Type/LIGHT/Level 1/ATK 800/DEF 1000) to your opponent's
side of the field in Defense Position. If this card is Tributed
for a Tribute Summon: You can activate this effect; you can
Tribute Summon 1 monster during your Main Phase this turn, in
addition to your Normal Summon/Set this turn. (You can only gain
this effect once per turn.) You can only use each effect of
"Mithra the Thunder Vassal" once per turn. (Common) |
||||
Rating: 2 out of 5 Possible for even a 2-Tribute monster to come out, but your opponent gets a free Token. |
||||
Emperor
of Darkness (SR01-EN010) Lucius the Shadow Vassal |
||||
DARK | Fiend / Effect | Level 1 | ATK: 800 DEF: 1000 |
Pendulum Scale: |
You can banish 1 Level 5 or higher monster from your Graveyard;
Special Summon this card from your hand, also you cannot Special
Summon monsters from the Extra Deck for the rest of this turn.
If this card is Tributed for a Tribute Summon: You can look at
all Set cards your opponent controls. Your opponent cannot
activate cards or effects in response to this effect's
activation. You can only use each effect of "Lucius the Shadow
Vassal" once per turn. (Common) |
||||
Rating: 2 out of 5 Seeing your opponent's surprises is certainly helpful, but that's where the helpfulness stops. |
||||
Emperor
of Darkness (SR01-EN003) Edea the Heavenely Squire |
||||
LIGHT | Warrior / Effect | Level 1 | ATK: 800 DEF: 1000 |
Pendulum Scale: |
If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can Special
Summon 1 monster with 800 ATK and 1000 DEF from your Deck in
Defense Position, except "Edea the Heavenly Squire", also you
cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck for the rest
of this turn. If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can
target 1 of your banished "Monarch" Spell/Trap Cards; add it to
your hand. You can only use each effect of "Edea the Heavenly
Squire" once per turn. (Super Rare) |
||||
Rating: 2 out of 5 These guys are like Ojamas, only mariginally useful at best. |
||||
Emperor
of Darkness (SR01-EN002) Eidos the Underworld Squire |
||||
DARK | Spellaster / Effect | Level 2 | ATK: 800 DEF: 1000 |
Pendulum Scale: |
If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: During your Main
Phase this turn, you can Tribute Summon 1 monster, in addition
to your Normal Summon/Set. (You can only gain this effect once
per turn.) You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then
target 1 monster with 800 ATK and 1000 DEF in your Graveyard,
except "Eidos the Underworld Squire"; Special Summon it in
Defense Position, also you cannot Special Summon monsters from
the Extra Deck for the rest of this turn. You can only use this
effect of "Eidos the Underworld Squire" once per turn. (Super Rare) |
||||
Rating: 2 out of 5 There's more of these to come, but they aren't proving to be much better, if at all, than the two new Monarchs. |
||||
Emperor
of Darkness (SR01-EN001) Erebus the Underworld Monarch |
||||
DARK | Zombie / Effect | Level 8 | ATK: 2800 DEF: 1000 |

You can Tribute Summon this card by Tributing 1 Tribute Summoned
monster. If this card is Tribute Summoned: You can send 2
"Monarch" Spell/Trap Cards with different names from your hand
and/or Deck to the Graveyard, and if you do, shuffle 1 card from
your opponent's hand (at random), Graveyard, or their side of
the field into the Deck. Once per turn, during either player's
Main Phase, if this card is in your Graveyard: You can discard 1
"Monarch" Spell/Trap Card, then target 1 monster in your
Graveyard with 2400 or more ATK and 1000 DEF; add it to your
hand. (Ultra Rare) |
||||
Rating: 2 out of 5 1 or 2 Tributes isn't really going to matter here as this guy really doesn't have the effects to make it worth a 3. |
||||

opponent's Main Phase, if this card is in your hand: You can
banish 1 "Monarch" Spell/Trap Card from your Graveyard;
immediately after this effect resolves, Tribute Summon this card
(this is a Quick Effect). (Ultra Rare) |
||||
Rating: 2 out of 5 Acts like a Mega Monarch, and plays the part to an extent. |
||||

"Dragonpit Magician". (Common) |
||||
Rating: 3 out of 5 A Beatstick that doubles as a Pendulum with a low Scale is ideal. |
