*For info on how these ratings are determined, click here.
YS11-EN043
Grenosaurus
FIRE / Dinosaur-Type Xyz / Rank 3 / ATK 2000 / DEF 1900
2 Level 3 monsters
When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; inflict 1000 damage to your opponent.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It's got the second-highest ATK of the first Xyz in the US but its effect gives it the same rating as the others because you have to detach an Xyz Material to activate it.
YS11-EN042
Gachi Gachi Gantetsu
EARTH / Rock-Type Xyz / Rank 2 / ATK 500 / DEF 1800
2 Level 2 monsters
If this face-up card would be destroyed, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card instead. Face-up monsters you control gain 200 ATK and DEF for each Xyz Material attached to this card.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It doesn't provide much of a boost for monsters but can save itself from destruction by any means twice.
YS11-EN041
Number 39: Utopia
LIGHT / Warrior-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK 2500 / DEF 2000
2 Level 4 monsters
When any player's monster declares an attack: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; negate the attack. When this card is targeted for an attack, while it has no Xyz Materials: Destroy this card.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: If it could stop attacks and stay on the field when attacked without an Xyz Material, I'd rate it higher but it can't negate more than two attacks at the moment so it's stuck with 2 out of 5 stars.

Xyz Effect
Normal Trap

Comments: This one almost goes a bit further than Xyz Energy because it can destroy any card on the field and doesn't require you to detach any Xyz Materials but takes longer to activate.
Previously rated

Each face-up Xyz Monster you control gains 300 ATK for each Xyz Material attached to it, until the End Phase.

Xyz Energy
Normal Spell
Detach 1 Xyz Material you control to target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; destroy that target.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Since Xyz Monsters are fairly easy to summon, I can give this 2/5 stars because it doesn't require much in exchange for letting you destroy an opponent's monster.
YS11-EN022
Harmonic Waves
Normal Spell
Target 1 face-up monster on the field; it becomes Level 4 until the End Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: An easy way to Xyz Summon a Rank 4 Xyz monster or Synchro Summon a monster but that's all I can say for this because that's about all its text has available for you.
YS11-EN021
Blustering Winds
Normal Spell
Target 1 face-up monster you control; it gains 1000 ATK and DEF until your next Standby Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Maybe these blustering winds can carry this card away because it's outclassed by Axe of Despair, which applies 1000 ATK to the monster while equipped.

LIGHT / Warrior / Level 3 / ATK 400 / DEF 1900
This card is Level 4 while in face-up Defense Position.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: He's got some DEF and his effect makes him Level 4 while in Defense Mode, which is where you'll literally want him for that Synchro Summon or Xyz Summon
YS11-EN010
Tenshin
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 2 / ATK 800 / DEF 100
This card gains 400 ATK for each face-up Level 2 monster you control.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Doesn't matter that his effect includes himself because that's a mere 1200 ATK, which is still poor. Tenshin will NOT be building from this guy.

Once per turn, during your Main Phase: You can make this card Level 3 until the End Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Another card for an easy Rank 3 Xyz Summon but nothing more as he's just as bad as Feedback Warrior for everything else.
YS11-EN008
Speed Bird
WIND / Winged Beast / Level 4 / ATK 1200 / DEF 1000
When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard: You can target 2 Level 2 monsters in your Graveyard; Special Summon them, but their effects are negated.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Easy Rank 2 Xyz Summon but that's really it because of how specific the monsters are that this card brings out.
YS11-EN007
Feedback Warrior
EARTH / Warrior / Level 3 / ATK 800 / DEF 700
When this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can target 1 face-up monster you control; it becomes Level 3.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: The only thing he's good for in uses is to make for an easy Rank 3 Xyz Summon because he's pitiful everywhere else you look.
YS11-EN006
Ganbara Knight
LIGHT / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 0 / DEF 1800
When this face-up Attack Position card is targeted for an attack: You can change it to Defense Position.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Well if you're desperate for another monster to bring out via Shining Angel, at least this guy goes to Defense Mode when attacked and has some DEF to probably stop the attack.
YS11-EN005
Zubaba Knight
EARTH / Warrior / Level 3 / ATK 1600 / DEF 900
If this card attacks a face-up Defense Position monster: Destroy that monster at the start of the Damage Step (without damage calculation).
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Gravity Bind and Level Limit - Area B can't stop its attacks and it destroys any face up Defense Position monster it attacks without damage calculation but Drillroid goes one better.

EARTH / Beast-Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 2000 / DEF 100
