The Gross Ghost of Fled Dreams
DARK / Fiend / Level 4 / ATK 1300 / DEF 1800
This monster feeds on the dreams of an unwary sleeper, dragging the victim into eternal slumber.

The only dreams he'll have are ones of actually staying on the field and being playable.

DB1-EN246

EARTH / Fiend / Level 4 / ATK 1200 / DEF 1500
A portrait cursed by the artist, it is said to bring ill fortune to anyone who owns it.

Increase the ATK and DEF of the equipped monster by 500 points for each Spell and Trap Card on your side of the field.

Power up an already strong monster or strengthen a weak one! Even 2 Spell or Trap Cards give the equipped Monster a nice boost!

DB1-EN244

As long as this card is in the Graveyard, increase your Life Points by 200 points during each of your Standby Phases.

Fusion Monster
St. Joan
LIGHT / Fairy-Type Fusion / Level 8 / ATK 2800 / DEF 2000
"The Forgiving Maiden" + "Marie the Fallen One"

Effect Monster
The Forgiving Maiden
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 4 / ATK 850 / DEF 2000
Tribute this face-up card to return to your hand 1 of your monsters destroyed as a result of battle during this turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
I can forgive her for being so unplayable as 2000 DEF can only last so long on the field and 850 ATK won't help either.

DB1-EN238
Effect Monster
Hysteric Fairy
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 500
Tribute 2 monsters on your side of the field to increase your Life Points by 1000 points.

As long as this card remains face-up on your side of the field, increase your Life Points by 800 points during each of your Standby Phases.

Infinite Cards

The number of cards may be infinite but the playability is a far cry from it.

DB1-EN229
Spell Card
Jam Breeding Machine
Continuous Spell
During each of your Standby Phases, Special Summon 1 "Slime Token" (Aqua-Type/WATER/LEVEL 1/
ATK 500/DEF 500) in Attack Position to your side of the field. As long as this card remains face-up on the field, you cannot Normal Summon, Flip Summon or Special Summon any other monster (except Slime Tokens).

Normal Spell
Discard 1 Monster Card from your hand to the Graveyard. Return 1 of your monsters destroyed and sent to your Graveyard as a result of battle during this turn to your hand at the end of this turn.

DB1-EN223
Spell Card
Mask of Brutality

Increase the ATK of a monster equipped with this card by 1000 points and decrease its DEF by 1000 points. Pay 1000 Life Points during each of your Standby Phases. If you do not, destroy this card.
COMMON

What's brutal about this card is the cost to actually keep it on the field! Use Axe of Despair instead.

DB1-EN222
Spell Card
Mask of the Accursed
Equip Spell
The monster equipped with this card cannot attack. The controller of the equipped monster takes 500 points of damage during each of your Standby Phases.

I gave this card an extra star because at least it stops the attack of the equipped monster but even so, still not that playable.

DB1-EN221

COMMON
Rating: 2

Minimal damage and not negating the Spell Card's effect. It's no wonder UDE made this card a common.

                                                               DB1-EN219

DB1-EN218
Trap Card
Mask of Weakness
Normal Trap
Decrease the ATK of 1 attacking monster by 700 points until the end of the turn.

I would consider this the "Mask of Weakness" because it's weakness lies in it's use against Jinzo and Royal Decree.

DB1-EN217
Spell Card
Chosen One
Normal Spell
Select 1 Monster Card and 2 non-Monster Cards from your hand. Your opponent randomly selects 1 card among them. If it is a Monster Card, it is Special Summoned and send the remaining 2 cards to the Graveyard. If not, send all the cards to the Graveyard.
COMMON
Rating: 1
I don't consider this card the "chosen one" as his effect is terrible (unless he is the chosen one for his horrible effect).

DB1-EN216
Effect Monster
Nuvia the Wicked
DARK / Fiend / Level 4 / ATK 2000 / DEF 800
If this monster is Normal Summoned, destroy this card. If your opponent controls any monster, decrease the ATK of this card by 200 points for each monster on your opponents side of the field.

Surely "wicked" doesn't mean awesome as he certainly isn't with a bad effect and an even worse DEF.

Grand Tiki Elder
DARK / Fiend / Level 4 / ATK 1500 / DEF 800

Very strong stats for a Level 6 monster! Perfect for just about any Deck!

Effect Monster
Revival Jam
WATER / Aqua / Level 4 / ATK 1500 / DEF 500
When this card is sent to the Graveyard as a result of battle, you can pay 1000 Life Points. Then, Special Summon this card in face-up Defense Position during your next Standby Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 1
His stats are bad enough and paying 1000 Life Points to bring him back in Defense Mode, only to be destroyed again is just horrible.

DB1-EN209
Fusion Monster
Humanoid Worm Drake
WATER / Aqua-Type Fusion / Level 7 / ATK 2200 / DEF 2000
"Worm Drake" + "Humanoid Slime"
COMMON
Rating: 1
Two monsters that Summon a just-as-bad Fusion Monster makes it very unplayable.

DB1-EN208
Normal Monster
Worm Drake
EARTH / Reptile / Level 4 / ATK 1400 / DEF 1500
Once this monster wraps itself around a victim, there is no escape.
COMMON

There is only "no escape" if he battles a weaker monster or a monster stronger than he is so that he has no escape.

DB1-EN207
Normal Monster
Humanoid Slime
WATER / Aqua / Level 4 / ATK 800 / DEF 2000
This slime apparently has some human genes in its genetic makeup.

EARTH / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1600
When an Equip Spell Card is equipped to this card, destroy the Equip Spell Card.
RARE
Rating: 3
1800 ATK quickly puts the Duel in your favor and being unable to be Snatch Stolen or equipped with anything is pretty decent too! What hurts him is that his effect destroys your Equip Cards too.

DB1-EN203
Effect Monster
The Fiend Megacyber
DARK / Warrior / Level 6 / ATK 2200 / DEF 1200
You can Special Summon this card from your hand if your opponent has at least 2 more monsters on the field than you do.

When this card attacks with an ATK that is higher than the DEF of your opponent's Defense Position monster, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points.

This beast will get even madder when he finds that he cannot destroy any Monster in battle and will eventually destroy himself.

DB1-EN200
Effect Monster
Red-Moon Baby
DARK / Zombie / Level 3 / ATK 700 / DEF 1000
You can Special Summon to your side of the field a monster destroyed and sent to the Graveyard as a result of battle by this card at the end of the Battle Phase.

Gradius
LIGHT / Machine / Level 4 / ATK 1200 / DEF 800
A high-performance jet fighter with power capsules for variable attack capabilities.
COMMON

Effect Monster
Haysabusa Knight
EARTH / Warrior / Level 3 / ATK 1000 / DEF 700
This card can attack twice during the same Battle Phase.
RARE
Rating: 1
His effect lets him attack twice. Funny because his stats prevent him from attacking once in most cases.

DB1-EN195
Fusion Monster
Thousand-Eyes Restrict
DARK / Spellcaster-Type Fusion / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
"Relinquished" + "Thousand-Eyes Idol"
As long as this card remains face-up on the field, other monsters cannot change their battle positions or attack. Select 1 monster on your opponent's side of the field and equip it to this card (this effect can only be used once per turn and you can only equip 1 monster at a time to this card). The ATK and DEF of this card become the same amounts as the monster equipped to this card. If this card is destroyed as a result of battle, the equipped monster is destroyed instead.
ULTRA RARE

Well worthy of 3 stars! He has Relinquished's effects and is the only one that can attack! His other effects drop his rating to 3 stars since they affect both players.

DB1-EN194

When this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points, you can select 1 "Parasite Paracide" card from your Deck, shuffle the Deck, and place "Parasite Paracide" on top of the Deck.

He must inflict damage to even get the Parasite card and even if that happens, your opponent can use cards to shuffle your Deck, nulling the entire process.

DB1-EN191
Effect Monster
Sword Hunter
EARTH / Warrior / Level 7 / ATK 2450 / DEF 1700
A monster destroyed by this card as a result of battle becomes an Equip Spell Card at the end of the Battle Phase that increases the ATK of this card by 200 points.

Type Zero Magic Crusher
Continuous Trap
Discard 1 Spell Card from your hand to inflict 500 points of damage to your opponent's Life Points.

In multiples, this card isn't too bad but overall isn't that great.

I'll bet she's good at archery but most monsters don't need to, they can just step on her and she's destroyed.

Ritual Monster
Relinquished
DARK / Spellcaster-Type Ritual / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
Select 1 monster on your opponent's side of the field and equip it to this card (this effect can only be used once per turn and you can only equip 1 monster at a time to this card). The ATK and DEF of this card become the same amounts as the monster equipped to this card. If this card is destroyed as a result of battle, the equipped monster is destroyed instead, and any battle damage you received from the battle is also inflicted to your opponent's Life Points.

A Heavy-Mech Support Platform with a Snatch Steal effect is decent but the starting stats aren't so impressive.

A monster that needs 2 Tributes and can't beat even Giant Orc, who needs no Tributes and cannot fend off even Summoned Skull, who needs only 1 Tribute is just beyond bad.

I'll give UDE praise for at least lowering this card's rarity because its effect wasn't worth the Super Rare status.

Giving your opponent extra cards is just horrible so don't use this card.

For the activation requirements in his effect, 1000 damage isn't worth it.

Unlike most monsters with his stats, he has a decent effect. Even using Premature Burial on him gives him 2050 ATK!

If you can find a decent use for this card, pat yourself on the back. Otherwise, what is it doing anywhere else except being thrown away?

What's even more shocking than this snake is that his effect is terrible. Don't use him.

Use Shadow Spell instead as it lowers the ATK of the monster by 700 points and prevents it from changing modes whereas this card doesn't.

While the boost it gives isn't as high as AoD, it still provides a decent boost to just about any monster!

800 DEF is quite a boost, especially on monsters where 800 DEF lets it block even stronger monster's attacks.

Stick to Axe of Despair as it gives the equipped monster twice the ATK and can be returned to your Deck.

A 1000 point boost lets Summoned Skull take out BEWD or Monsters that attack directly deal more damage! Having to Tribute a Monster to return it to the top of your Deck hurts this card.

With very low stats and having a horrible effect, there's zero chance this guy will have any use.
