1. Card gallery: https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Set_Card_Galleries:Abyss_Rising_(TCG-EN-1E)

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN099)
Bahamut Shark
WATER / Xyz Monster / Rank 6 / ATK 2600 / DEF 2100
(Sea Serpent / Xyz / Effect)
2 Level 4 WATER monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; Special Summon 1 Rank 3 or lower WATER Xyz Monster from your Extra Deck. This card cannot attack for the rest of this turn.
(Secret Rare)

Rating: 1 out of 5
So in a single turn, you could wind up two useless Xyz Monsters on the field.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN098)
Thunder Sea Horse
LIGHT / Effect Monster / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1200
(Thunder / Effect)
You can discard this card; add 2 Level 4 LIGHT Thunder-Type monsters of the same name with 1600 or less ATK from your Deck to your hand. You can only use the effect of "Thunder Sea Horse" once per turn. You cannot Special Summon during the turn you activate this effect.
(Secret Rare)

Rating: 1 out of 5
The range is much too low to make this worthwhile. Besides, Thunder is also highly under-supported.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN097)
Papa-Corn
EARTH / Effect Monster / Level 4 / ATK 1200 / DEF 800
(Plant / Effect)
While a Field Spell Card is face-up on the field, this card gains 1000 ATK.
(Rare)

Rating: 1 out of 5
Harvesting this corn is going to sour your Dueling strategy.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN096)
Fishborg Launcher
WATER / Effect Monster / Level 1 / ATK 200 / DEF 100
(Fish / Tuner / Effect)
If you have a monster(s) in your Graveyard other than "Fishborg Launcher", and all of them are WATER: You can Special Summon this card from your Graveyard. If you do, banish it when it leaves the field. This card cannot be used as a Synchro Material Monster, except for the Synchro Summon of a WATER monster. You can only use the effect of "Fishborg Launcher" once per turn.
(Common)

Rating: 2 out of 5
Blaster was bad, and now it's useless so we have this to replace it, and it's not much better.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN095)
Uminotaurus
WATER / Effect Monster / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 1000
(Aqua / Effect)
If a Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua-Type monster you control attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent.
(Rare)

Rating: 1 out of 5
You'll be more likely to take damage than get this card's effect to work.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN094)
Snow Dragon
WATER / Effect Monster / Level 4 / ATK 1400 / DEF 900
(Dragon / Effect)
When this card is destroyed by battle or by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard: Place 1 Ice Counter on each face-up monster on the field.
(Common)

Rating: 1 out of 5
Not many cards give Ice Counters, and this doesn't really take advantage of them.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN093)
Snowdust Dragon
WATER / Effect Monster / Level 8 / ATK 2800 / DEF 1800
(Dragon / Effect)
You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by removing 4 Ice Counters from anywhere on the field. Other monsters with Ice Counters cannot attack or change their battle positions.
(Common)

Rating: 1 out of 5
Removing Ice Counters to play this defeats the purpose of applying the effect in the first place.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN092)
Ape Magician
DARK / Effect Monster / Level 3 / ATK 800 / DEF 1200
(Beast / Effect)
Cannot be Special Summoned. Once per turn, if this card is in face-up Attack Position: You can send 1 monster from your hand to the Graveyard to target 1 face-up Defense Position monster your opponent controls; take control of it until the End Phase. It cannot change its battle position this turn.
(Common)

Rating: 1 out of 5
Devack was a formidable Duelist in the anime, but this isn't even close to being a threat.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN091)
Rage of the Deep Sea
WATER / Effect Monster / Level 5 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
(Fish / Effect)
This card gains 500 ATK and DEF for each Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua-Type monster in your Graveyard.
(Common)

Rating: 1 out of 5
Watch carefully as it deals a whopping 0 damage and leaves the opponent completely unharmed!

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN090)
Electromagnetic Bagworm
LIGHT / Effect Monster / Level 3 / ATK 200 / DEF 1400
(Insect / Flip / Effect)
FLIP: Target 1 face-up Machine-Type monster your opponent controls; take control of that target until your next End Phase.
If this card is destroyed by battle: The monster that destroyed it loses 500 ATK and DEF.
(Common)

Rating: 1 out of 5
Outside a Machine Deck (where you'll get a weakened monster), this isn't going to hit anything.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN089)
Attack the Moon!
SPELL / Continuous Spell
Once per turn, when the battle position of a Rock-Type monster you control is changed: You can target 1 Spell/Trap Card your opponent controls; destroy that target.
(Super Rare)

Rating: 1 out of 5
Being continuous doesn't really mean anything when it's a slower Mystical Space Typhoon.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN088)
Spellbook Star Hall
SPELL / Continuous Spell
Each time a "Spellbook" Spell Card is activated, place 1 Spell Counter on this card. All Spellcaster-Type monsters you control gain 100 ATK for each Spell Counter on this card. When this card with Spell Counter(s) is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard: You can add 1 Spellcaster-Type monster from your Deck to your hand, whose Level is less than or equal to the number of Spell Counters that were on this card.
(Rare)

Rating: 1 out of 5
Probably the worst place to get your Dueling Degree.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN087)
Spellbook Library of the Heliosphere
SPELL / Normal Spell
If you have 5 or more "Spellbook" Spell Cards in your Graveyard: Reveal the top 2 cards of your Deck, add any revealed "Spellbook" Spell Cards to your hand, and shuffle any remaining cards into the Deck. You can only activate 1 "Spellbook Library of the Heliosphere" per turn. You cannot activate any Spell Cards the turn you activate this card, except "Spellbook" Spell Cards.
(Secret Rare)

Rating: 1 out of 5
No need for a library card, because there's nothing worth checking out.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN086)
Noble Arms - Arfeudutyr
SPELL / Equip Spell
You can only control 1 face-up "Noble Arms - Arfeudutyr". Equip only to a Warrior-Type monster. Once per turn: You can target 1 Set card your opponent controls; the equipped monster permanently loses 500 ATK, and if it does, destroy that target. (This ATK loss remains even if this card leaves the field or the monster becomes unaffected by card effects.) If this face-up card on the field is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 face-up Warrior-Type "Noble Knight" monster you control; equip this card to that target. You can only use this effect of "Noble Arms - Arfeudutyr" once per turn.
(Rare)

Rating: 1 out of 5
Darkworld Shackles can do much better than this.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN085)
Giant Soldier of Steel
EARTH / Xyz Monster / Rank 3 / ATK 1300 / DEF 2000
(Rock / Xyz / Effect)
2 Level 3 Rock-Type monsters
This card is unaffected by other monsters' effects. Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; it gains 1000 DEF until the End Phase, and if it does, you take no effect damage from your opponent's card effects this turn.
(Secret Rare)

Rating: 1 out of 5
You'd think steel would be a better material than rock, but apparently not.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN084)
Abyss Dweller
WATER / Xyz Monster / Rank 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 1400
(Sea Serpent / Xyz / Effect)
2 Level 4 monsters
While this card has an Xyz Material attached that was originally WATER, all WATER monsters you control gain 500 ATK. Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; any card effects that activate in your opponent's Graveyard cannot be activated this turn.
(Super Rare)

Rating: 2 out of 5
It'll have 2200 with WATER Xyz Materials and boosts your other WATER monsters too, but it only blocks one instance.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN083)
Slushy
WATER / Effect Monster / Level 2 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
(Aqua / Effect)
When this card is Normal Summoned: You can send 1 "Slushy" from your Deck to the Graveyard. If you have 3 copies of "Slushy" total, either banished and/or in your Graveyard (combined): You can banish this card from your Graveyard to target 1 Level 5 or higher Sea Serpent-Type monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target. You can only use the Special Summoning effect of "Slushy" once per turn.
(Rare)

Rating: 1 out of 5
Slushy like wet snow on pavement, indicative of a pretty weak card.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN082)
Red Dragon Ninja
FIRE / Effect Monster / Level 6 / ATK 2400 / DEF 1200
(Winged Beast / Effect)
When this card is Summoned: You can banish 1 "Ninja" or "Ninjitsu Art" card from your Graveyard to target 1 Set card your opponent controls; reveal that Set card, then return it to either the top or bottom of the Deck. Your opponent cannot activate the targeted card in response to this effect's activation. You can only use the effect of "Red Dragon Ninja" once per turn.
(Super Rare)

Rating: 3 out of 5
With such high ATK for its Level, you don't need to worry about that risky effect it has.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN081)
Mermail Abyssmander
WATER / Effect Monster / Level 4 / ATK 100 / DEF 2000
(Fish / Effect)
You can banish this card from your Graveyard to activate 1 of these effects;
● Increase the Levels of all "Mermail" monsters you currently control by 1.
● Increase the Levels of all "Mermail" monsters you currently control by 2.
(Rare)

Rating: 2 out of 5
Two copies will allow the 2nd one to get a Level change, but that's about all it's good for aside from the DEF.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN080)
Retort
TRAP / Counter Trap
When your opponent activates a Spell/Trap Card with the same name as one in your Graveyard: Negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card. Then you can add 1 card with that name from your Graveyard to your hand.
(Secret Rare)

Rating: 2 out of 5
Quite the unliklihood of occuring, but you get a copy of yours back at least.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN079)
Unification
TRAP / Continuous Trap
Once per turn, during each player's Standby Phase: The turn player declares a Level from among the face-up monsters they control, then sends all face-up monsters they control with a different Level to the Graveyard.

Just run that 1 Monster Card Type then.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN078)
Cash Back
TRAP / Counter Trap
When your opponent activates a Spell/Trap Card, or monster effect, by paying their Life Points: Negate the activation, and if you do, return it to the Deck.
(Short Print Common)

Rating: 2 out of 5
Returning it to the Deck does make it harder to draw the offending card again, but there isn't much in it for you.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN077)
That Wacky Alchemy!
TRAP / Normal Trap
If a face-up Spell Card(s) in your opponent's Spell & Trap Card Zones is sent to the Graveyard: You can Target 1 face-up monster on the field; destroy that target.
(Ultra Rare) & (Ultimate Rare)

Rating: 2 out of 5
This gets activated even if an effect has finished resolving. Too bad it's not Continuous or it could've been better.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN076)
Magic Deflector
TRAP / Normal Trap
For the rest of this turn, negate all Equip, Field, Continuous and Quick-Play Spell Card effects on the field.
(Common)

Rating: 1 out of 5
Negating the vast minority of Spell Cards doesn't do any good.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN075)
Memory of an Adversary
TRAP / Normal Trap
When an opponent's monster declares an attack: You take damage equal to the attacking monster's ATK, and if you do, banish that monster. During the End Phase of your opponent's next turn, Special Summon that monster to your side of the field.

Rating: 1 out of 5
This card is in itself and adversary to you.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN074)
Madolchepalooza
TRAP / Normal Trap

Fill up on sweets, but expect internal problems with your strategy later.

Abyss-strom
TRAP / Normal Trap
Send 1 face-up "Umi" you control to the Graveyard; send all Spell and Trap Cards on the field to the Graveyard.
(Rare)

Rating: 1 out of 5
You don't need any Mermails, but it's basically just a slower Levia-Dragon - Daedalus.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN072)
Abyss-sphere
TRAP / Continuous Trap
Special Summon 1 "Mermail" monster from your Deck. Its effects are negated. You cannot activate any Spell Cards. When this card leaves the field, destroy that monster. Destroy this card during your opponent's next End Phase after activation.

Rating: 1 out of 5
Even for Xyz Summons, you still can't activate Spell Cards that same turn.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN071)
Abyss-squall
TRAP / Normal Trap
Target 3 "Mermail" monsters in your Graveyard; Special Summon those targets in face-up Defense Position. Their effects are negated and they cannot declare an attack. Destroy them during the End Phase.
(Super Rare)

Rating: 1 out of 5
Bad enough to be considered Cloudian "support".

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN070)
Xyz Xtreme !!
TRAP / Normal Trap
When an Xyz Monster you control is destroyed by battle: Pay 1000 Life Points; you reveal 1 Xyz Monster from the Extra Deck with a Rank less than or equal to that destroyed monster's, and so can your opponent (simultaneously).

If the opponent doesn't reveal a monster, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the ATK of your revealed monster.
(Common)

The Xyz Monster variant of Last Turn.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN069)
Heroic Advance
TRAP / Normal Trap
When a face-up "Heroic" monster you control is targeted for an attack: Target another face-up Level 4 or lower "Heroic" monster you control; double its ATK during this Battle Phase, then switch the attack target to it and conduct damage calculation, but monsters cannot be destroyed by this battle.
(Common)

Rating: 2 out of 5
Most members are too weak for this to have any impact, but there are few that could work.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN068)
Heroic Gift
TRAP / Normal Trap
If your opponent's Life Points are 2000 or less: Make their Life Points 8000, and if you do, draw 2 cards. You can only activate 1 "Heroic Gift" per turn.
(Common)

Rating: 1 out of 5
This takes away the advantage you were having at activation.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN067)
Bubble Bringer
TRAP / Continuous Trap
Level 4 or higher monsters cannot attack directly. During your turn: You can send this face-up card from the field to the Graveyard to target 2 Level 3 or lower WATER monsters with the same name in your Graveyard; Special Summon those targets. Their effects are negated.

Effects that allow your opponent to negate your effect renders the card useless.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN065)

Why create a problem for yourself if none exist?

Mind Pollutant
SPELL / Normal Spell
Discard 1 monster to target 1 monster of that Level your opponent controls; take control of that target until the End Phase.
(Rare)

Rating: 2 out of 5
A bit more versatile than Mind Control, but also more costly.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN063)
Final Gesture
SPELL / Normal Spell
Target 1 face-up Level 3 monster you control; Special Summon 1 monster with the same name as that monster from your hand or Graveyard. Its effects are negated. During the End Phase of this turn, destroy the face-up monster that was targeted by this card.
(Common)

Rating: 1 out of 5
Level 3s are generally not very good, and this makes both of them even worse.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN062)
Forbidden Dress
SPELL / Quick-Play Spell
Target 1 face-up monster on the field; until the End Phase, that target loses 600 ATK, but it cannot be targeted or destroyed by other card effects.

Rating: 1 out of 5
All you succeed in doing is weakening a monster when Shrink does a better job.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN061)
Madolche Ticket

You can only use the effect of "Madolche Ticket" once per turn.
(Common)

Rating: 1 out of 5
For "Madolches and the Chocolate Catastrophe", which is always late and everyone always messes up.

A tower built like a house of cards. One loud noise and it's all over.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN059)
Spellbook of Fate
SPELL / Quick-Play Spell

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN056)
Abyss-scale of the Kraken

(Common)

Rating: 1 out of 5
At least Black Pendant doesn't abandon the monster it's equipped to.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN055)
Advanced Heraldry Art
SPELL / Normal Spell
Target 2 "Heraldic Beast" monsters in your Graveyard; Special Summon both those targets. Immediately after this card resolves, Xyz Summon 1 Xyz Monster using those 2 monsters only.
(Rare)

Rating: 1 out of 5
They'd have to have the same Level, or it's useless, though you're not limited to a Heraldic Beast Xyz Monster.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN054)
Gravity Blaster
SPELL / Equip Spell
Equip only to a Machine-Type monster. Once per turn: You can activate this effect; it permanently gains 400 ATK.

(Common)

Rating: 3 out of 5
A weaker Black Pendant that keeps the boost(s) it gives, even after it leaves the field.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN053)
Tannhauser Gate
SPELL / Normal Spell
Target 2 monsters you control of the same Type with 1000 or less ATK; both monsters' Levels become the combined Levels of those 2 monsters.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN052)
Different Dimension Deepsea Trench

Has to be a WATER monster, but it can pretty much bring out any WATER monster.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN051)
One-Shot Wand

Perhaps the easiest way to get Ice Counters on the field, but the end result isn't all that much.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN048)

Rating: 1 out of 5
Madolches clearly have few calories as this is literally a Diet Pot of Avarice.

These changes last until the End Phase.

A Rank 9 that really dials things up to 11, if you can get it on the field.

The ATK boost will give it up to 1500 points after 3 Traps fail to do anything. Much better than Exalibur.

Rating: 2 out of 5
It doesn't negate the Summon so it's about as costly as using Tribute to the Doomed.

Abyss Rising (ABYR-EN041)
