Comments: Don't let James Bond hear about this gadget because what he has now is far superior, and let's face it, we have cards in this game that are equally more superior than this rust bucket.
BOSH-EN038
Toon Buster Blader
EARTH / Warrior-Type Toon / Level 7 / ATK 2600 / DEF 2300
Cannot attack the turn it is Summoned. This card gains 500 ATK for each Dragon-Type monster your opponent controls or is in their Graveyard. While you control "Toon World" and your opponent controls no Toon monsters, this card can attack your opponent directly.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: They say you have to beat the best to be the best and this guy isn't going to do that by copying other subpar monsters and deforming himself.
BOSH-EN037
Al-Lumi'raj
WIND / Wyrm-Type Tuner / Level 3 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1000
All monsters on the field lose ATK and DEF equal to their own Level/Rank x 300.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Don't we all just wish it WERE a mi'raj? After all, nothing it has to offer warrants it even existing because it even hurts itself.
BOSH-EN036
Guiding Ariadne
LIGHT / Fairy-Type Pendulum / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 800 / Scale 3
Apply these effects.
● You do not pay LP to activate Counter Trap Cards.
● You do not discard to activate Counter Trap Cards.

If this card is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can reveal 3 Counter 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.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: You're better off using it as a Pendulum Monster so you can take advantage of its low scale and making all Counter Trap Cards void of activation fees because getting one of three Counter Traps won't save you from their fees.
BOSH-EN035
Dark Doriado
DARK / Spellcaster-Type Pendulum / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1400 / Scale 5
All EARTH, WATER, FIRE, and WIND monsters you control gain 200 ATK and DEF for every different Attribute among the monsters you control.

If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can choose 4 monsters from your Deck (1 EARTH, 1 WATER, 1 FIRE, and 1 WIND), then place them on the top of the Deck in any order.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: The next evolution of the Doriado family has certainly improved but mostly because she's a beatstick Pendulum Monster.
BOSH-EN034
Shiranui Samurai
FIRE / Zombie / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 0
During either player's turn: You can banish 1 Zombie-Type monster from your Graveyard; this card gains 600 ATK, and if it does, banish any monster that battled this card, after damage calculation. These effects last until the end of this turn. If this card is banished: You can target 1 "Shiranui" monster in your Graveyard, except "Shiranui Samurai"; add it to your hand. You can only use each effect of "Shiranui Samurai" once per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: At least its ATK is up to decency but the rest of it isn't there yet and thus this guy will get no more than 2 stars.
BOSH-EN033
Shiranui Spiritmaster
FIRE / Zombie / Level 4 / ATK 1500 / DEF 0
When this card is Normal Summoned: You can Special Summon 1 "Shiranui" monster from your hand or Graveyard, except "Shiranui Spiritmaster", but banish it when it leaves the field. If this card is banished: You can target 1 face-up card your opponent controls; destroy it. You can only use this effect of "Shiranui Spiritmaster" once per turn.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: So clearly the theme is having 0 DEF and doing something when banished, neither of which are traits for decent monsters unless they have other better crudentials.
BOSH-EN032
Shiranui Smith
FIRE / Zombie / Level 4 / ATK 1000 / DEF 0
If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard as a Synchro Material: You can add 1 "Shiranui" card from your Deck to your hand, except "Shiranui Smith". You can only use this effect of "Shiranui Smith" once per turn. If this card is banished: You can activate this effect; this turn, Zombie-Type monsters you control cannot be destroyed by battle.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Not any better than Spectralsword and Archfiend Zombie Skull can do that much better without having to waste deckspace with trash like this.
BOSH-EN031
Shiranui Spectralsword
FIRE / Zombie-Type Tuner / Level 2 / ATK 800 / DEF 0
If this card is in your Graveyard, except the turn this card was sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 non-Tuner Zombie-Type monster in your Graveyard; banish both it and this card, and if you do, Special Summon 1 Zombie-Type Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck whose Level equals the total Levels those 2 monsters had. You can only use this effect of "Shiranui Spectralsword" once per turn.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: You're not required to bring out a Zombie Synchro by his effect and thank goodness because it's not a good idea to begin with. Just Synchro Summon the old fashioned way and you'll be better off.
BOSH-EN030
Majespecter Toad - Ogama
WIND / Spellcaster-Type Pendulum / Level 4 / ATK 1300 / DEF 500 / Scale 5
No Pendulum Text

When this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can Set 1 "Majespecter" Spell/Trap Card directly from your Deck, but it cannot activate this turn. You can only use this effect of "Majespecter Toad - Ogama" once per turn. Cannot be targeted or destroyed by your opponent's card effects.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: This guy is only adding to the list of sub-par monsters because the best it has to offer is being impervious to your opponent's card effects, which still leaves it quite vulnerable, especially with those poor stats.
BOSH-EN029
Dinomist Rex
WATER / Machine-Type Pendulum / Level 5 / ATK 2400 / DEF 2200 / Scale 6
Once, while this card is in your Pendulum Zone, you can negate an activated card effect that targets another "Dinomist" card(s) you control, then destroy this card.

If this card attacks, at the end of the Damage Step: You can Tribute 1 other "Dinomist" monster, then activate 1 of these effects;
● This card can make a second attack on an opponent's monster in a row, and if it attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent.
● Shuffle 1 card from your opponent's hand (at random) or their side of the field into the Deck, then this card gains 100 ATK.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 4
Comments: This is heaps better than all prior Dinomist monsters because its ATK rivals the likes of Jinzo, Luster Dragon #2 and Zaborg the Thunder Monarch but none of those guys are Pendulum Monsters so even though this guy's effects aren't all that good, he's still a very nice candidate for your Deck, beit WATER, Machine, Dinomist or even Beatstick.
BOSH-EN028
Dinomist Ceratops
WATER / Machine-Type Pendulum / Level 5 / ATK 2100 / DEF 400 / Scale 3
If another "Dinomist" card(s) you control would be destroyed by battle or an opponent's card effect, you can destroy this card instead.

If all monsters you control are "Dinomist" monsters (min. 1), and none are "Dinomist Ceratops", you can Special Summon this card (from your hand).
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: A bit better than Brachion as his ATK is higher and his Pendulum Effect isn't a one-shot deal but his other effect is literally not much better.
BOSH-EN027
Dinomist Brachion
WATER / Machine-Type Pendulum / Level 5 / ATK 2000 / DEF 800 / Scale 6
Once, while this card is in your Pendulum Zone, you can negate an activated card effect that targets another "Dinomist" card(s) you control, then destroy this card.

If you do not control "Dinomist Brachion" in your Monster Zone and your opponent controls a monster that has the highest ATK on the field (even if it's tied), you can Special Summon this card (from your hand).
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: He too can only save his comrades once as a Pendulum Monster and can come out more quickly with his Cyber Dragon-esque effect but even the real Cyber Dragon is stronger in ATK and DEF and an Honest target.
BOSH-EN026
Dinomist Pteran
WATER / Machine-Type Pendulum / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1200 / Scale 3
If another "Dinomist" card(s) you control would be destroyed by battle or an opponent's card effect, you can destroy this card instead.

When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle: You can add 1 "Dinomist" card from your Deck to your hand.
RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: A high-end 3/5 stars for its beatstick ability, no negative effects for using him that way alone and of course he's a Pendulum Monster that can seatch out even another copy of himself, not to mention his Pendulum Effect works on another copy of himself too.
BOSH-EN025
Dinomist Plesios
WATER / Machine-Type Pendulum / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 1400 / Scale 6
Once, while this card is in your Pendulum Zone, you can negate an activated card effect that targets another "Dinomist" card(s) you control, then destroy this card.

All face-up monsters your opponent controls lose 100 ATK and DEF for each "Dinomist" card you control.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: He's got one shot to protect one of his conmrades from danger and doesn't have the stats to do it in battle and neither does his effect but his Pendulum Monster status will make sure he won't go away easily.
BOSH-EN024
Dinomist Stegosaur
WATER / Machine-Type Pendulum / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1800 / Scale 3
If another "Dinomist" card(s) you control would be destroyed by battle or an opponent's card effect, you can destroy this card instead.

If another Pendulum Monster you control battles an opponent's monster, after damage calculation: You can destroy those monsters.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: His abilities and properties have lead me to bring his rating down to 2 stars and he should be counting both because he didn't go any lower.
BOSH-EN023
Master Pendulum, the Dracoslayer
LIGHT / Dragon-Type Pendulum / Level 4 / ATK 1950 / DEF 0 / Scale 3
Once, while this card is in your Pendulum Zone: You can target 1 card in a Pendulum Zone; destroy it.

Luster Pendulum, the Dracoslayer" continues his journey to uncover the secrets of Dragon Alchemy, believing it is the key to dispelling his curse and restoring his memory. His power continues to grow... perhaps the same power used by the Dracofiends?
SUPER RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: He's got enough ATK for a standalone beatstick no negative side-effect for using him as such and is a Pendulum Monster with a low enough scale but that 0 DEF is all that is needed to take a star off of his rating.
BOSH-EN022
Robot Buster Destruction Sword
DARK / Machine / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1200
You can target 1 "Buster Blader" you control; equip this monster from your hand or your side of the field to that target. While this card is equipped to a monster, Spell/Trap Cards that are already face-up on your opponent's side of the field cannot activate their effects. You can send this Equip Card to the Graveyard; the monster that was equipped with this card gains 1000 ATK until the end of this turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Much like Wizard Buster Destruction Sword, this guy will add to your opponent's pain if combined with other Destruciton Sword monsters but apart from that, giving it a temporary ATK boost isn't worth removing that restraint.
BOSH-EN021
Wizard Buster Destruction Sword
DARK / Spellcaster / Level 3 / ATK 1200 / DEF 900
You can target 1 "Buster Blader" you control; equip this monster from your hand or your side of the field to that target. While this card is equipped to a monster, monsters in your opponent's Graveyard cannot activate their effects. You can send this Equip Card to the Graveyard, then target 1 "Destruction Sword" monster in your Graveyard, except "Wizard Buster Destruction Sword"; add it to your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: If combined with Buster Destruction Sword, this'll further limit your opponent's options but it's not a Tuner and won't help you all that much since sending itself while equipped is going to allow your opponent to counter equipping the retrieved Destruction Sword monster.
BOSH-EN020
Dragon Buster Destruction Sword
DARK / Dragon-Type Tuner / Level 1 / ATK 400 / DEF 300
You can target 1 "Buster Blader" you control; equip this monster from your hand or your side of the field to that target. While this card is equipped to a monster, your opponent cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck. While this card is equipped to a monster: You can Special Summon this equipped card. You can only use this effect of "Dragon Buster Destruction Sword" once per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It prevents your opponent's Extra Deck Special Summons while equipped, not to mention it's also a Tuner monster but that's about it.
