ABYR-EN019
Mermail Abysslung
WATER / Fish / Level 4 / ATK 1200 / DEF 1800
Your opponent cannot target face-up WATER monsters for attacks, except this one. All WATER monsters you control gain 300 ATK.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: One whose effect doesn't even mention its archtype but will also most likely benefit best there.
ABYR-EN018
Mermail Abysspike
WATER / Fish / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 800
When this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can discard 1 WATER monster to the Graveyard; add 1 Level 3 WATER monster from your Deck to your hand. You can only use the effect of "Mermail Abysspike" once per turn.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Same as ABYR-EN017's comments.
ABYR-EN017
Mermail Abyssturge
WATER / Fish / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 1100
When this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can discard 1 WATER monster to the Graveyard, then target 1 Level 3 or lower WATER monster in your Graveyard; add that target to your hand. You can only use the effect of "Mermail Abyssturge" once per turn.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: At last, a Mermail not specific to its archtype, though it'll probably benefit most there anyway.
ABYR-EN016
Mermail Abysshilde
WATER / Aqua / Level 3 / ATK 1300 / DEF 400
If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 "Mermail" monster from your hand, except "Mermail Abysshilde". You can only use the effect of "Mermail Abysshilde" once per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Same as ABYR-EN015's comments.
ABYR-EN015
Mermail Abyssgunde
WATER / Aqua / Level 3 / ATK 1400 / DEF 800
If this card is discarded to the Graveyard: You can target 1 "Mermail" monster in your Graveyard, except "Mermail Abyssgunde"; Special Summon that target. You can only use the effect of "Mermail Abyssgunde" once per turn.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Much like Abysslinde, she's not going to help you much outside her archtype.
ABYR-EN014*
Mermail Abysslinde
WATER / Aqua / Level 3 / ATK 1500 / DEF 1200
If this card on the field is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 "Mermail" monster from your Deck, except "Mermail Abysslinde". You can only use the effect of "Mermail Abysslinde" once per turn.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: She replaces herself with any monster in the archtype except another copy of herself, which does explain why she's Ultra Rare but outside her archtype, she's of little use.
ABYR-EN013
Heraldic Beast Berners Falcon
WIND / Winged Beast / Level 4 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1600
When this card is Summoned: You can make all face-up Level 5 or higher monsters you currently control become Level 4.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It'll make it easier to Xyz Summon the Rank 4s especially since its effect has no restriction to how it's Summoned and works well with those Rank 4s that need multiple materials.
ABYR-EN012
Heraldic Beast Aberconway
WIND / Dragon / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 900
If this card is in the Graveyard: You can banish another "Heraldic Beast Aberconway" from your Graveyard to target 1 "Heraldic Beast" monster in your Graveyard; add that target to your hand. You can only use the effect of "Heraldic Beast Aberconway" once per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: This one can survive on its own as a regular beatstick without any severe drawback or its archtype can unlock its hidden powers!
ABYR-EN011
Solar Wind Jammer
LIGHT / Machine / Level 5 / ATK 800 / DEF 2400
If you control no monsters, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand), but its original ATK and DEF become halved. During each of your Standby Phases: Increase the Level of this card by 1. There can only be 1 face-up "Solar Wind Jammer" on the field.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: He can even be Special Summoned the first turn of the duel but that applies to both players and so does his last line of text, which hurts him, along with halving his stats if Special Summoned his way.
ABYR-EN010
Planet Pathfinder
EARTH / Machine / Level 4 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1000
You can Tribute this card; add 1 Field Spell Card from your Deck to your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It's an extra Terraforming, should that card get limited or something but until then, it's not going to be that useful.
ABYR-EN009
Heroic Challenger - Night Watchman
EARTH / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1200 / DEF 300
Before damage calculation, if this card attacks a Defense Position monster your opponent controls: You can destroy that monster.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Here's a weaker variant of Drillroid but is searchable by RoTA and Giant Rat unlike the latter but still will not be as good as Neo-Spacian Grand Mole or Ally of Justice Catastor.
ABYR-EN008
Heroic Challenger - Extra Sword
EARTH / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1000
An Xyz Monster that was Summoned using this card as Xyz Material gains this effect.
● When it is Xyz Summoned: It gains 1000 ATK.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: This guy's "extra sword" really didn't help him and just allowed him to copy an effect from a card you can easily obtain better: Axe of Despair.
ABYR-EN007
Deep Sweeper
WATER / Fish / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1300
You can Tribute this card to target 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field; destroy that target.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Even if Night Beam or MST get limited, they'll still be better cards than this'll ever be.
ABYR-EN006
Tripod Fish
WATER / Fish / Level 3 / ATK 300 / DEF 1300
When this card is Special Summoned from the Graveyard: You can target 1 face-up Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua-Type monster on the field; increase its Level by 1.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments:  You can target itself or any other monsters that fit its requirements but it must be Special Summoned from the Grave to obtain this power.
ABYR-EN005
Grandram
EARTH / Rock / Level 4 / ATK 0 / DEF 1400
If your opponent controls a face-up Xyz Monster, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand) in face-up Attack Position.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Much like Mogmole, this guy is getting the very edge of 2 stars but in his case, it's only because Xyz Monsters are popular.
ABYR-EN004
Mogmole
EARTH / Beast / Level 2 / ATK 800 / DEF 800
When this card on the field is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon it from your Graveyard in face-up Defense Position. You can only use the effect of "Mogmole" once per Duel.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It doesn't matter how he's destroyed but once you bring him back by his effect, he can't do it again until the next duel so you're probably better off with Zero Gardna instead.
ABYR-EN003
Achacha Chanbara
FIRE / Warrior / Level 3 / ATK 1400 / DEF 400
During either player's turn, when a card or effect is activated that will inflict damage when it resolves: You can Special Summon this card from your hand, and if you do, inflict 400 damage to your opponent.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Making the effect usable during either player's turn is moot if the card effect it's responding to still gets to resolve as is so use Prime Material Dragon instead.
ABYR-EN002
Bull Blader
EARTH / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1200
When an attack is declared involving this card and an opponent's monster: You can activate this effect; during this battle involving this monster, neither player takes any battle damage, also destroy the opponent's monster after damage calculation.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: As you've seen, I don't often give out even this rating to monsters like this but he prevents battle damage and at least gets rid of the monster when/if he goes (and he most likely will).
ABYR-EN001
Gagaga Caesar
EARTH / Warrior / Level 3 / ATK 1800 / DEF 600
Cannot attack unless you control another face-up "Gagaga" monster. Once per turn: You can banish 1 monster from your Graveyard that has a Level; the Levels of all face-up "Gagaga" monsters you currently control become the Level of that monster. This card cannot be used as a Synchro Material Monster.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: He starts off decently with his stats but his effect ruins everything and leaves him with my lowest rating.
ABYR-EN000
Ignoble Knight of Black Laundasllyn
DARK / Warrior / Level 5 / ATK 2000 / DEF 800
You can send 1 face-up LIGHT Normal Monster you control to the Graveyard; Special Summon this card from your hand or Graveyard. You can Tribute 1 "Noble Knight" monster; add 1 "Noble Arms" card from your Deck to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Ignoble Knight of Black Laundsallyn" once per turn. You can only control 1 face-up "Ignoble Knight of Black Laundsallyn".
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Noble Knights don't have much going for it but you don't necessarily need them to bring this guy out by his effect, just to use the rest of his effect, which also keeps you from controlling more than one.
