(Machine / Effect) Cannot be Special Summoned. If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage. Up to twice per turn, when this attacking card destroys a monster by battle: You can discard 1 Machine monster; this card can attack again in a row. If this card on the field is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can add 1 "Polymerization" from your Deck to your hand, and if you do, add 1 other "Ancient Gear" monster from your GY to your hand. (Common)
Rating: 3 out of 5 Its dub Attack Name wasn't used, but it's decent overall.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN098) Speedroid Passinglider
WIND	Pendulum Monster	Level 5	ATK: 2200 DEF: 2000	Pendulum Scale 3 (left) / 3 (right)

(Machine / Pendulum / Effect) If there are no monsters on the field, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). You can only Special Summon "Speedroid Passinglider" once per turn this way. When this card is Tribute Summoned: You can target 1 Level 4 or lower "Speedroid" monster in your GY; Special Summon it. Your opponent's monsters cannot target "Speedroid" monsters for attacks, except this one. (Common)
Rating: 2 out of 5 Two possible uses with this, one for each effect, but the first is certainly the worst of the two.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN097) Abyss Actor - Trendy Understudy
DARK	Pendulum Monster	Level 2	ATK: 700 DEF: 700	Pendulum Scale 8 (left) / 8 (right)
Pendulum Text When you Pendulum Summon a monster: You can add 1 face-up Level 1 or 8 "Abyss Actor" Pendulum Monster from your Extra Deck to your hand.
(Fiend / Pendulum / Effect) If you have 2 "Abyss Actor" cards in your Pendulum Zones: You can Tribute this card; Special Summon 1 Level 1 or 8 "Abyss Actor" Pendulum Monster from your hand or face-up from your Extra Deck. You can only use this effect of "Abyss Actor - Trendy Understudy" once per turn. (Common)
Rating: 2 out of 5 True to an actual understudy, this guy isn't able to do much that is useful.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN096) Destiny HERO - Dangerous
DARK	Fusion Monster	Level 6	ATK: 2000 DEF: 2600	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
(Warrior / Fusion / Effect) 1 "Destiny HERO" monster + 1 DARK Effect Monster (Quick Effect): You can discard 1 card; send 1 "Destiny HERO" monster from your hand or Deck to the GY, and if you do, "Destiny HERO" monsters you control gain 200 ATK for each "Destiny HERO" monster in your GY until the end of this turn. You can only use this effect of "Destiny HERO - Dangerous" once per turn. (Common)
Rating: 1 out of 5 Perhaps dangerous to itself and its owner.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN095) Performapal Trumpanda
EARTH	Pendulum Monster	Level 3	ATK: 800 DEF: 800	Pendulum Scale 3 (left) / 3 (right)
Pendulum Text Once per turn: You can increase this card's Pendulum Scale by 1 (max. 12).
(Beast / Pendulum / Effect) When your Pendulum Monster is targeted for an attack: You can negate the attack. You can only use this effect of "Performapal Trumpanda" once per turn. (Common)
Rating: 2 out of 5 The Pendulum Scale and accompanying effect relating to it are the only good things about this.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN094) Galaxy Worm
LIGHT	Effect Monster	Level 3	ATK: 1200 DEF: 1000	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
(Insect / Effect) When this card is Normal Summoned while you control no other monsters: You can Special Summon 1 Level 3 or lower "Galaxy" Effect Monster from your Deck, but it has its effects negated. (Common)
Rating: 1 out of 5 With that requirement, it shouldn't be so restrained, but it is.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN093) Wicked Acolyte Chilam Sabak
DARK	Effect Monster	Level 8	ATK: 2500 DEF: 0	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
(Reptile / Effect) If you have 5 or more cards in your hand, you can Normal Summon this card without Tributing. When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the GY: You can Special Summon this card in Defense Position, and if you do, it is treated as a Tuner. You can only use this effect of "Wicked Acolyte Chilam Sabak" once per turn. (Common)
Rating: 1 out of 5 I translate this card's name to "One Who Cannot be Successful".
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN092) Gogogo Aristera & Dexia
EARTH	Effect Monster	Level 3	ATK: 0 DEF: 2200	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
(Rock / Effect) While another "Gogogo" monster is on the field, your opponent's monsters cannot target "Gogogo" monsters for attacks, also your opponent cannot target "Gogogo" monsters on the field with card effects. An Xyz Monster that was Summoned using only this card and other "Gogogo" monsters as material gains this effect. ● When it is Xyz Summoned: You can target 1 face-up Attack Position monster your opponent controls; change it to Defense Position, and if you do, change its DEF to 0. (Common)
Rating: 2 out of 5 Almost good enough to have 3 stars, but not quite, given the effect requirements.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN091) Infernity Patriarch
DARK	Effect Monster	Level 4	ATK: 1000 DEF: 2000	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
(Fiend / Effect) If this is the only card in your hand, you can Special Summon it (from your hand). You can only Special Summon "Infernity Patriarch" once per turn this way. While you have no cards in your hand, if an "Infernity" monster(s) you control would be destroyed by battle or card effect, you can banish this card from your GY instead. (Common)
Rating: 2 out of 5 Only slightly better than Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN090) Junk Breaker
EARTH	Effect Monster	Level 4	ATK: 1800 DEF: 1000	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
(Warrior / Effect) During your Main Phase, if this card was Normal Summoned this turn: You can Tribute this card; all face-up monsters on the field have their effects negated until the end of this turn. (Common)
Rating: 3 out of 5 Not junk in the slightest compared to other members of the Archetype.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN089) F.A. Downforce
SPELL	Quick-Play Spell	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
Target 1 "F.A." monster you control; increase its Level by 2 until the end of this turn. During your Main Phase, except the turn this card was sent to the GY: You can banish this card from your GY, then target 1 "F.A." monster you control; increase its level by 2 until the end of this turn. You can only use each effect of "F.A. Downforce" once per turn. (Common)
Rating: 1 out of 5 F.A. monsters are the ones kids would probably use on their way up to the pro circuit.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN088) F.A. Circuit Grand Prix
SPELL	Field Spell	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
Increase the Levels of all "F.A." monsters on the field by 2 during the Battle Phase only. Once per turn, when your "F.A." monster destroys an opponent's monster by battle: You can draw 1 card. If this face-up card on the field is destroyed by a card effect: You can add 1 "F.A." card from your Deck to your hand, except "F.A. Circuit Grand Prix". You can only use this effect of "F.A. Circuit Grand Prix" once per turn. (Common)
Rating: 1 out of 5 There's going to be a short in this circuit, which'll lead to the only highlight of the race.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN087) F.A. Hang On Mach
WIND	Effect Monster	Level 4	ATK: 0 DEF: 1800	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
(Machine / Effect) Gains ATK equal to its Level x 300. Unaffected by activated effects from an opponent's monster whose original Level/Rank is lower than this card's Level. Each time a "F.A." Spell/Trap Card or effect is activated: You can increase this card's Level by 1. If this card is Level 7 or higher, any card sent to your opponent's GY is banished instead. (Common)
Rating: 1 out of 5 These guys can be considered the Fortune Ladies of their time, putting them right near the bottom of the pack.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN086) F.A. Sonic Meister
WIND	Effect Monster	Level 4	ATK: 0 DEF: 1000	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
(Machine / Effect) Gains ATK equal to its Level x 300. Cannot be destroyed by battle with an opponent's monster whose original Level/Rank is lower than this card's Level. Each time a "F.A." Spell/Trap Card or effect is activated: You can increase this card's Level by 1. If this card is Level 7 or higher, it can make up to 2 attacks on monsters during each Battle Phase. (Common)
Rating: 1 out of 5 Telling these drivers to "break a leg" would be predicting the future because these cars are unfit for driving.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN085) Vendread Reorigin
TRAP	Normal Trap	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
Target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls that has a Level; Tribute it, and if you do, Special Summon 1 "Vendread Token" (Zombie/DARK/ATK 0/DEF 0) with a Level equal to the Tributed monster's original Level. While the Token Special Summoned by this effect is on the field, you cannot Normal or Special Summon monsters, except "Vendread" monsters. (Secret Rare)
Rating: 1 out of 5 Soul Exchange isn't even this restrictive, or this slow.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN084) Revendread Origin
SPELL	Ritual Spell	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
This card can be used to Ritual Summon any "Vendread" Ritual Monster from your hand or GY. You must also Tribute monsters from your hand or field, and/or banish Zombie monsters from your GY, whose total Levels equal or exceed the Level of the Ritual Monster you Ritual Summon. If "Revendread Slayer(s)" you control would be destroyed by battle or card effect, you can banish this card from your GY instead. (Common)
Rating: 1 out of 5 Of course it's used for Vendread Rituals when they're only a few members and so bad.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN083) Vendread Revenants
DARK	Effect Monster	Level 4	ATK: 1800 DEF: 200	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
(Zombie / Effect) If this card in your possession is destroyed by an opponent's card (by battle or card effect) and sent to your GY: You can Special Summon this card, but banish it when it leaves the field. A "Vendread" monster Ritual Summoned using this card on the field gains this effect. You can only use the preceding effect of "Vendread Revenants" once per turn. ● Once per turn (Quick Effect): You can target 1 Special Summoned monster your opponent controls; banish it. (Common)
Rating: 3 out of 5 Decent enough that using Imperial Iron Wall makes it able to come back every time.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN082) Revendread Slayer
DARK	Ritual Monster	Level 6	ATK: 2400 DEF: 0	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
(Zombie / Ritual / Effect) You can Ritual Summon this card with any "Vendread" Ritual Spell. Once per battle, if this card battles an opponent's monster, during damage calculation (Quick Effect): You can banish 1 Zombie monster from your GY; this card gains 300 ATK. If this Ritual Summoned card is sent to the GY: You can add 1 Ritual Spell from your Deck to your hand, and if you do, send 1 "Vendread" monster from your Deck to the GY. You can only use this effect of "Revendread Slayer" once per turn. (Rare)
Rating: 1 out of 5 I've seen far better Effect Monsters that can do more slaying than this.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN081) Samurai Skull
DARK	Effect Monster	Level 4	ATK: 1700 DEF: 0	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
(Zombie / Effect) When this card is Normal Summoned: You can send 1 Zombie monster from your Deck to the GY. If this face-up card in its owner's control leaves the field because of an opponent's card effect: You can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Zombie monster from your Deck, except "Samurai Skull". (Common)
Rating: 2 out of 5 Effects aren't too bad, but that 0 DEF was going to prevent it from getting a higher rating regardless.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN080) Transmission Gear
TRAP	Normal Trap	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
During damage calculation, if your monster battles an opponent's monster: Play rock-paper-scissors with your opponent. Make the losing player banish the battling monster they control, face-down. (Short Print Common)
Rating: 1 out of 5 Isn't it enough to play that BEFORE taking part in the Duel?
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN079) Blind Obliteration
TRAP	Normal Trap	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
Roll a six-sided die twice and destroy all face-up monsters with Levels/Ranks lower than the total roll. (Rare)
Rating: 2 out of 5 The right roll could work in your favor, and it does include Ranks, unlike Blind Destruction and Needle Wall.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN078) Recall
TRAP	Counter Trap	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
When your opponent activates a monster effect: Negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card, also your opponent draws 1 card. (Rare)
Rating: 1 out of 5 You'll be sorry if that 1 draw proves to win your opponent the Duel. Besides, it only negates 1/3 of effects.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN077) Back to the Front
TRAP	Normal Trap	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
Target 1 monster in your GY; Special Summon it in Defense Position. (Rare)
Rating: 2 out of 5 A more generic and less vulnerable Soul Resurrection, which is okay, but Call of the Haunted is better.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN076) Heavy Storm Duster
TRAP	Normal Trap	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
Target up to 2 Spells/Traps on the field; destroy them. You cannot conduct your Battle Phase the turn you activate this card. (Super Rare)
Rating: 1 out of 5 It combined their names, but only about about half the effectiveness. Twin Twisters is better.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN075) Break Off Trap Hole
TRAP	Normal Trap	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
When a Link Monster is Link Summoned: Destroy all monsters on the field that are not linked. (Super Rare)
Rating: 1 out of 5 This is hardly going to benefit you when most monsters on the field will probably not be linked.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN074) Dark World Brainwashing
TRAP	Continuous Trap	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
When an opponent's monster activates its effect, if you have 3 or more cards in your hand (except during the Damage Step): You can target 1 "Dark World" monster on the field; return it to the hand, and if you do, the activated effect becomes "Discard 1 random card from your opponent's hand". (Common)
Rating: 1 out of 5 You can do better, even in a Dark World Deck. It's much too slow and too situational.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN073) Twilight Cloth
TRAP	Normal Trap	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
Target 1 face-up monster you control; banish any number of "Lightsworn" monsters from your GY, and if you do, that monster gains 200 ATK and DEF for each monster banished by this effect, until the end of this turn. If this card is sent from the Deck to the GY by a "Lightsworn" monster's effect: You can activate this effect; this turn, "Lightsworn" monsters you control cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects. (Common)
Rating: 1 out of 5 Quite the sabotage for Lightsworn Decks, and the 2nd effect has very little chance of activating at all.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN072) Twilight Eraser
TRAP	Normal Trap	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
If you control 2 or more "Lightsworn" monsters with the same Type but different names: Banish 2 "Lightsworn" monsters from your GY, then target 2 cards on the field; banish them. If this card is sent from the Deck to the GY by a "Lightsworn" monster's effect: You can Special Summon 1 "Lightsworn" monster from your hand. (Rare)
Rating: 1 out of 5 If you want to erase your chances of victory, go right ahead.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN071) World Legacy Landmark
TRAP	Normal Trap	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
Banish 1 "World Legacy" monster from your hand or face-up from your field, then target 2 monsters in your GY; Special Summon them, but they cannot attack this turn. (Common)
Rating: 2 out of 5 Being a slower double Monster Reborn isn't bad for the price, but you still need a World Legacy monster to banish.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN070) Supreme Rage
TRAP	Normal Trap	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
If you control "Supreme King Z-ARC": Destroy as many monsters you control as possible, except "Supreme King Z-ARC", and if you do, Special Summon up to 4 "Supreme King Dragon" monsters with different names from your hand, Deck, Extra Deck, and/or GY, ignoring their Summoning conditions. You can banish this card from your GY, then target 1 "Supreme King Dragon" Xyz Monster you control; attach 2 "Supreme King Dragon" monsters to it as materials, from your GY and/or face-up from your Extra Deck. (Common)
Rating: 0 out of 5 A significantly worse Big Wave Small Wave.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN069) Pulse Mines
TRAP	Normal Trap	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
If you control a Machine monster: Change your opponent's Attack Position monsters (if any) to Defense Position, also, until the end of this turn, if a monster(s) is Normal or Special Summoned to your opponent's field, change them to Defense Position. (Common)
Rating: 2 out of 5 Labyrinth of Nightmare can do better than this, but there are some good Machines out there.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN068) Trickstar Reincarnation
TRAP	Normal Trap	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
Banish your opponent's entire hand, and if you do, they draw the same number of cards. You can banish this card from your GY, then target 1 "Trickstar" monster in your GY; Special Summon it. (Secret Rare)
Rating: 1 out of 5 Considerably worse than Magical Mallet, given you probably have no idea what cards were lost or drawn.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN067) Three Strikes Barrier
TRAP	Normal Trap	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
If your opponent controls exactly 3 cards: Activate 1 of these effects; ● this turn, your monsters cannot be destroyed by battle. ● this turn, you take no battle damage. ● this turn, each time your monster inflicts battle damage to your opponent, you gain the same amount of LP. (Common)
Rating: 1 out of 5 You can't even activate all 3 effects in the unlikely event you're able to use this.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN066) Defense Zone
SPELL	Field Spell	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
For each monster a player controls in their Main Monster Zone, their Spells/Traps in the same column as that monster cannot be destroyed by their opponent's card effects, and their opponent cannot target them with card effects. (Short Print Common)
Rating: 2 out of 5 Both players get the benefits, but if you can lock your opponent out of monsters, this'll mostly benefit you.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN065) Castle Link
SPELL	Field Spell	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
Once per turn: You can target 1 Link Monster on the field; move it to a Main Monster Zone it points to on its controller's field. Once per turn: You can switch the locations of 2 Link Monsters in your Main Monster Zones or 2 Link Monsters in your opponent's Main Monster Zones. (Ultra Rare)
Rating: 2 out of 5 I don't know why you'd want to move your Link Monsters and it's quite situational overall.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN064) Boogie Trap
SPELL	Normal Spell	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
Discard 2 cards, then target 1 Trap in your GY; Set that target. It can be activated this turn. You can only activate 1 "Boogie Trap" per turn. (Common)
Rating: 2 out of 5 Costlier than Mask of Darkness, but you can use the Trap right away at least.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN063) Gravity Lash
SPELL	Quick-Play Spell	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
Target 1 face-up monster on the field; it loses ATK equal to its DEF until the end of this turn. (Common)
Rating: 2 out of 5 Link Monsters aren't affected, but most monsters will be, making this at least somewhat useful.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN062) Spellbook of Knowledge
SPELL	Normal Spell	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
Send to the GY either 1 Spellcaster monster you control, or 1 other "Spellbook" card from your hand or face-up from your field, except "Spellbook of Knowledge", and if you do, draw 2 cards. You can only activate 1 "Spellbook of Knowledge" per turn. (Ultra Rare)
Rating: 1 out of 5 Their books have been closed for the future, and this isn't good enough to make them useful.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN061) Emerging Emergency Rescute Rescue
SPELL	Normal Spell	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
If your LP is lower than your opponent's: Reveal 3 Beast monsters with 300 ATK and 100 DEF 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 activate 1 "Emerging Emergency Rescute Rescue" per turn. (Common)
Rating: 1 out of 5 The emergency will only escalate with cards this bad.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN060) Twilight Twin Dragons
SPELL	Normal Spell	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
If you control "Punishment Dragon": Target 1 "Judgment Dragon" in your GY; add it to your hand, then send the top 4 cards of your Deck to the GY. If this card is sent from the Deck to the GY by a "Lightsworn" monster's effect: You can target 1 "Punishment Dragon" in your GY; add it to your hand, then banish the top 4 cards of your Deck. (Common)
Rating: 1 out of 5 Konami chose the much less useful of the two.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN059) March of the Dark Brigade
SPELL	Normal Spell	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
Target 1 "Lightsworn" monster in your GY that has a Level; add it to your hand, then banish a number of cards from the top of your Deck equal to the original Level of that monster in your hand. You can only activate 1 "March of the Dark Brigade" per turn. (Ultra Rare)
Rating: 1 out of 5 Lightsworn Decks cannot win if their precious cards get banished.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN058) World Legacy's Heart
SPELL	Normal Spell	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
Target 2 "World Chalice" monsters in your GY with different names; add them to your hand. If your linked Link Monster would be destroyed by battle, you can banish this card from your GY instead. You can only activate 1 "World Legacy's Heart" per turn. (Common)
Rating: 1 out of 5 Their heart is beating so slowly that Cardiac Arrest is a real possibility. No need to revive them afterwards.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN057) World Legacy Discovery
SPELL	Field Spell	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
All "World Chalice" monsters on the field gain 300 ATK and DEF. Once per turn, if a face-up "World Chalice" monster you control is destroyed by battle, or leaves the field because of an opponent's card effect: You can target 1 "World Chalice" monster in your GY; Special Summon it in Defense Position. (Rare)
Rating: 1 out of 5 Clearly they didn't figure out how to be better cards.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN056) Smile Universe
SPELL	Quick-Play Spell	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
Special Summon as many face-up Pendulum Monsters from your Extra Deck as possible, but they have their effects negated (if any), then your opponent gains LP equal to the total original ATK of those Special Summoned monsters. You cannot Normal or Special Summon other monsters, or attack, during the turn you activate this card. (Common)
Rating: 1 out of 5 All this does is make it harder for you to win.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN055) Air Cracking Storm
SPELL	Equip Spell	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
Equip only to a Machine monster. When that attacking monster destroys your opponent's monster by battle: You can activate this effect; it can make a second attack during this Battle Phase. Your other monsters cannot attack the turn you activate this effect. (Common)
Rating: 1 out of 5 An extra attack for one monster isn't work preventing the others from getting any attacks that turn.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN054) Gouki Re-Match
SPELL	Normal Spell	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
Target 2 "Gouki" monsters in your GY with different Levels; Special Summon them in Defense Position. You can only activate 1 "Gouki Re-Match" per turn. (Super Rare)
Rating: 1 out of 5 It'll end the same way as the firat match, only this time, there's no resistance.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN053) Trickstar Light Stage
SPELL	Field Spell	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
When this card is activated: You can add 1 "Trickstar" monster from your Deck to your hand. Once per turn: You can target 1 Set card in your opponent's Spell & Trap Zone; while this card is in the Field Zone, that Set card cannot be activated until the End Phase, and your opponent must activate it during the End Phase or else send it to the GY. Each time a "Trickstar" monster you control inflicts battle or effect damage to your opponent, inflict 200 damage to them. (Ultra Rare)
Rating: 2 out of 5 Trickstars are worthless so use the 1 effect that they aren't required for using.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN052) Missus Radiant
EARTH	Link Monster	Level	ATK: 1400 Link-2	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
Links:	Bottom Corners
(Beast / Link / Effect) 2 EARTH monsters All EARTH monsters on the field gain 500 ATK and DEF, also all WIND monsters on the field lose 400 ATK and DEF. If this card is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can target 1 EARTH monster in your GY; add it to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Missus Radiant" once per turn. (Super Rare)
Rating: 1 out of 5 Milus Radiant was already too weak to be useful, and now it's been made harder to Summon for the same results.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN051) Gaia Saber, the Lightning Shadow
EARTH	Link Monster	Level	ATK: 2600 Link-3	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
Links:	Left, Right and Bottom
(Machine / Link) 2+ monsters (Secret Rare)
Rating: 1 out of 5 Gem-Knight Pearl takes less monsters than this. There's no excuse for still having a Link Monster without an effect.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN050) Ningirsu the World Chalice Warrior
EARTH	Link Monster	Level	ATK: 2500 Link-3	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
Links:	Top, Left and Right

If this card is sent from the field to the GY: You can Special Summon 1 "World Chalice" monster from your hand. (Secret Rare)
Rating: 1 out of 5 So for 2+ Link Monsters, I can only draw 2 cards? What a rip-off.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN049) Auram the World Chalice Blademaster
FIRE	Link Monster	Level	ATK: 2000 Link-2	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
Links:	Bottom Corners
(Cyberse / Link / Effect) 2 "World Chalice" monsters Gains 300 ATK for each "World Legacy" monster in your GY with a different name.

You can only use this effect of "Auram the World Chalice Blademaster" once per turn. If this card is sent from the field to the GY: You can Special Summon 1 "World Chalice" monster from your hand. (Super Rare)

Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN048) Ib the World Chalice Priestess
WATER	Link Monster	Level	ATK: 1800 Link-2	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
Links:	Left and Right
(Spellcaster / Link / Effect) 2 monsters with different Types and Attributes This linked card cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects. Your opponent cannot target this linked card with card effects. If a monster(s) this card points to would be destroyed by a card effect, you can send this card to the GY instead. If this card is sent from the field to the GY: You can Special Summon 1 "World Chalice" monster from your hand. (Super Rare)
Rating: 1 out of 5 Requiring it to be linked for half the effects is bad enough, but it's total failure with the other effects.

After damage calculation, if this card attacked an opponent's monster: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to that monster's original ATK. (Secret Rare)
Rating: 3 out of 5 So long as this is occupying the Extra Monster Zone, it's unaffected by its own effect, but just about all others will.

EARTH	Link Monster	Level	ATK: 2600 Link-3	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
Links:	All 3 bottom arrows

Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN043) Firewall Dragon

Links:	All 4 center arrows
(Cyberse / Link / Effect) 2+ monsters Once while face-up on the field (Quick Effect): You can target monsters on the field and/or GY up to the number of monsters co-linked to this card; return them to the hand. If a monster this card points to is destroyed by battle or sent to the GY: You can Special Summon 1 monster from your hand. (Secret Rare)
Rating: 3 out of 5 Pretty low ATK for a Link-4 and the first effect only happens once, but the last effect is decent enough to use.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN042) D/D/D Wave High King Caesar
WATER	Xyz Monster	Rank 6	ATK: 2800 DEF: 1800	Pendulum Scale NA / NA

If this card is sent from the field to the GY: You can add 1 "Dark Contract" card from your Deck to your hand. (Super Rare)
Rating: 1 out of 5 Black Horn of Heaven is much easier to play than this and achieves the same goal. The other effect isn't any better.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN041) Supreme King Dragon Dark Rebellion
DARK	Xyz Monster	Rank 4	ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000	Pendulum Scale NA / NA

If this card is in your GY: You can Tribute 2 "Supreme King Dragon" monsters; Special Summon this card. (Rare)
Rating: 4 out of 5 A free half-Raigeki effect right away is quite nice, and the 2nd effect makes having less ATK irrelevent.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN038) Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom
DARK	Fusion Monster	Level 8	ATK: 2800 DEF: 2000	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
(Dragon / Fusion / Effect) 2 DARK Pendulum Monsters Must be either Fusion Summoned, or Special Summoned by Tributing the above cards you control (in which case you do not use "Polymerization").

(Rare)
Rating: 1 out of 5 There are better ways to deal piercing damage than wasting cards to bring this out.

EARTH	Effect Monster	Level 6	ATK: 2300 DEF: 2100	Pendulum Scale NA / NA

Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN034) Re: EX
LIGHT	Effect Monster	Level 4	ATK: 1900 DEF: 1200	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
(Dinosaur / Effect) If this card battles a monster in the Extra Monster Zone, it gains 800 ATK and DEF during the Damage Step only. (Rare)
Rating: 3 out of 5 Only 2 monsters can be in that position, which means it could take some down, but even if not, it's still good.

(Beast / Effect) You can banish up to 3 Spells/Traps from your GY face-down; Special Summon 1 Normal Monster from your Deck, whose Level equals the number of cards banished to activate this effect. (Common)

EARTH	Effect Monster	Level 1	ATK: 400 DEF: 1200	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
(Warrior / Effect) When this card is Normal Summoned: You can target 1 Level 4 or lower monster in your GY; Special Summon it in Defense Position, but it has its effects negated. (Rare)

Once per turn (Quick Effect): You can target 1 Set Spell/Trap you control; return that target to the hand, then you can Set 1 Spell/Trap from your hand. (Super Rare)
Rating: 2 out of 5 Searching out other members is okay, though despite being unaffected by Hole Traps, they don't offer much.
Code of the Duelist (COTD-EN029) Rescue Ferret

(Beast / Effect) You can shuffle this card you control into the Deck; Special Summon monster(s) from your Deck, except "Rescue Ferret", whose total Levels equal 6, to your zone(s) a Link Monster(s) points to, but those Summoned monsters have their effects negated, also destroy them during the End Phase.

EARTH	Normal Monster	Level 4	ATK: 1800 DEF: 0	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
(Warrior / Normal) His battle with the Mekkstrosities never seems to end. Even when their forest was invaded by Mekkstrocious Insects, he stood his ground and inspired the other defenders around him. (Common)

You can only use each effect of "D/D Vice Typhon" once per turn. (Common)
Rating: 1 out of 5 Both effects involve D/D or D/D/D monsters so it's junk.

(Plant / Tuner / Effect) You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by Tributing 1 opponent's monster with a Predator Counter.

(Super Rare)
Rating: 2 out of 5 Even 100 DEF would've given it the DEF needed to have a 3/5, but it's just not quite there for uses either.
