A very powerful Trap Card and it's no wonder it's a SCR!

Trap Card
Blast Held by a Tribute
Normal Trap
You can only activate this card when your opponent declares an attack with a monster on his/her side of the field that has been Tribute Summoned or Set.

ULTRA RARE
                                                                          Rating: 2
The one called "Sacrifices Blast" on Yu-Gi-Oh that Ishizu uses. Not too bad to make your opponent regret Tribute Summoning the monster and wipe out their field of monsters but that's about it.

After this card is activated, for the rest of this turn you can negate 1 six-sided die roll and re-roll it.
COMMON
                                                                          Rating: 1
For what it's worth, you could activate this card and have your opponent get the same or better roll!

Trap Card
Archfiend's Roar

Trap Card
Dark Scorpion Combination
Normal Trap
 You can only activate this card when you have "Don Zaloog", "Cliff the Trap Remover", "Dark Scorpion - Chick the Yellow", "Dark Scorpion - Gorg the Strong", and "Dark Scorpion - Meanae the Thorn" face-up on your side of the field. During the turn this card is activated, any of these 5 cards can attack your opponent's Life Points directly. In that case, the Battle Damage inflicted by each of those cards (that attack your opponent's Life Points directly) becomes 400 points.
RARE
                                                                          Rating: 1
What's truly sad is for the activation requirements this card needs, you deal only 2000 damage and your opponent can easily chain Mirror Force and destroy all of your monsters.
 
                                                                          DCR-097
Trap Card
Battle-Scarred
Continuous Trap
Select 1 Archfiend monster on your side of the field when you activate this card. When the monster's controller pays Life Points during the Standby Phase for the selected monster, that player's opponent also must pay equal Life Points. If this card is destroyed or removed from the field, destroy the selected monster. When the selected monster is destroyed or removed from the field, this card is also destroyed.

It's hardly worth it, especially since you still have to pay for the Archfiend monster(s).

COMMON

You're probably going to use this when you have a strong monster out but that comes with a price because then the monster goes to the Graveyard.
 
                                                                          DCR-094
Spell Card
Pandemonium
Field Spell
 Neither player has to pay Life Points during the Standby Phase of Archfiend monsters. Each time a players Archfiend Monster Card(s) are destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, except as a result of battle, that player can select 1 Archfiend Monster Card from his/her Deck that has fewer Level Stars than the destroyed card and add it to his/her hand.
COMMON
                                                                          Rating: 1
The back bone to any Archfiend Decks (if there are any). However, most won't even use the Archfiend monsters and therefore won't even touch this card.

Spell Card
Mustering of the Dark Scorpions
Normal Spell
You can only activate this card when you have "Don Zaloog" face-up on your side of the field.

Since the Dark Scorpion monsters aren't worth using, neither is this card.

Spell Card
Archfiend's Oath
Continuous Spell
 Once per turn you can pay 500 Life Points to declare 1 card name. Pick up the top card from your Deck and if the card name is the one you declared, add it to your hand. If not, send the card you picked up to the Graveyard.
COMMON

Odds are very high that you won't guess the next card of your Deck and will not only lose it but be out 500 Life Points for using its effect.

Checkmate
Normal Spell
Offer 1 Archfiend monster on your side of the field as a Tribute. During the turn this card is activated, 1 "Terrorking Archfiend" on your side of the field can attack your opponents Life Points directly.
COMMON
                                                                          Rating: 1
Since I'm sure you won't be using Terrorking, you surely won't be using this card as Terrorking is needed for this card.

Spell Card
Falling Down
Equip Spell

RARE
                                                                          Rating: 3
This card comes in quite handy when you either you don't have the Ritual Spell needed (be that in your hand or haven't pulled it yet)! Since it only works with DARK Ritual Monsters, its rating is 3/5.

                                                                          Rating: 2
You would think that for a legendary flame lord he'd be much stronger in ATK and much harder to get along with a powerful effect, most of which this guy lacks but the effect is enough to give him 2/5.

COMMON
                                                                          Rating: 2
Low stats guarantee this card's arrival in the Graveyard with its effect activated. However, you'd better hope that the die result lands on a number for a monster you can Summon.

COMMON
                                                                          Rating: 2
Since most monsters on the field will be at least 1800 ATK, they'll go back to the hand but by then this card will be in the Graveyard and you'll have one less monster out.

When this card is Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned, or flipped face-up, flip 1 face-up monster on the field into face-down Defense Position.
RARE
                                                                          Rating: 2
Really doesn't have much going for it but it can save itself from its own effect or flip face down a monster your opponent controls with low DEF and high ATK.

Metallizing Parasite - Lunatite

Once per turn, during your Main Phase, if you control this monster on the field, you can equip it to a face-up monster on your side of the field as an Equip Spell Card, OR change it back to a monster in face-up Attack Position. When equipped to a monster by this card's effect, that monster will not be affected by the effects of Spell Cards controlled by your opponent. (1 monster can only be equipped with 1 Union Monster at a time. If the monster that this card is equipped to is destroyed in battle, this card is destroyed instead.)
RARE
                                                                          Rating: 1
2 Tributes for a monster that can easily be trampled by even Masaki the Legendary Swordsman (1100 ATK) isn't worth it at all but at least its rarity wasn't higher.

If it weren't for its effects, there would be no way this card's rating would be higher than 1/5.

Its effect of letting you select any card and shuffle it into your Deck can come in handy but since it's not added to your hand, this card's rating is 2/5.

Its effect is probably the only thing that would keep it alive after destroying a monster in battle.

Even being an Ultra Rare card, his effect only lasts one turn and his stats aren't very high either.

Why only 2/5? Two reasons: He requires a Tribute and 2 he needs his Equip Spell to be Summoned.

The reason for this 2500 ATK monster not getting 4/5 stars is due to the fact that to be Summoned he needs a specific Equip Spell on your field.

Was the reason this card was made Ultra Rare because we have an Equip Spell that returns to the top of your Deck when sent to the Graveyard or  his effect that can be used more than once? Still not too great a card.

Her weak stats alone don't make her playable and needing a specific Equip Spell on the field just to Summon her makes her even less playable.

A not-so-strong monster with decent effects! If he is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard by your opponent's card effect, under most cases, he comes back! Plus his other effect can ruin your opponent's Deck too!
