| DANE-EN099 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Memories of Hope Normal Spell Draw cards equal to the number of "Number" Xyz Monsters with different names you control. You can only activate 1 "Memories of Hope" per turn. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | What are the odds you're going to have more than one Number Xyz Monster on your field, especially when most of them suck? I'd say pretty slim to none, especially since they need to have different names. |
| DANE-EN098 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Whitefish Salvage Continuous Spell You can target 1 Fish monster in your GY; add it to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Whitefish Salvage" once per turn. If this card in your possession is destroyed by an opponent's card effect and sent to your GY: Take 1 Fish monster from your Deck, and either add it to your hand or Special Summon it. RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | What Fish-Type monsters do we have that are viable with this? Not very many. I wouldn't even recommend this with Mermails as they're mostly Aqua-Type. |
| DANE-EN097 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Pendulum Halt Normal Spell If you have 3 or more face-up Pendulum Monsters with different names in your Extra Deck: Draw 2 cards. You cannot add cards from the Deck to your hand for the rest of this turn after this card resolves. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Little point in drawing extra cards if you're then unable to add anything else to your hand in case your draws are bad. It's already not really usable in Archetype Decks because they're all generally going to use multiples of the same monster. |
| DANE-EN096 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Speedlift Quick-Play Spell If you control exactly 1 Tuner and no other monsters: Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Speedroid" monster from your Deck. Neither player can activate cards or effects when that monster is Special Summoned. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Kind of random to have it require a Tuner and no other monsters but as a Quick-Play Spell, it can help with Synchro, Xyz and maybe even Link Summons. |
| DANE-EN095 | |
| Card Type: | Link Monster |
| Card Info | Cherubini, Ebon Angel of the Burning
Abyss DARK / Fairy-Type Link / ATK 500 / Link-2 Active Link Arrow(s): Bottom-Left and Bottom-Right 2 Level 3 monsters Monsters this card points to cannot be destroyed by card effects. If this card would be destroyed by battle or an opponent's card effect, you can send 1 other card you control to the GY instead. You can send 1 Level 3 monster from your Deck to the GY, then target 1 "Burning Abyss" monster on the field; it gains ATK/DEF equal to the ATK/DEF of the monster sent to the GY, until the end of this turn. You can only use this effect of "Cherubini, Ebon Angel of the Burning Abyss" once per turn. SECRET RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Seems like it's manditory for Burning Abyss Extra Deck monsters to be Secret Rare because we've had a few prior to this that were also Secret Rare and this guy just isn't worth the effort given it's incredibly weak and sacrifices the same monsters it protects just to save itself and cost you more LP. |
| DANE-EN094 | |
| Card Type: | Link Monster |
| Card Info | Mermail Abyssalacia WATER / Sea Serpent-Type Link / ATK 1600 / Link-2 Active Link Arrow(s): Bottom-Left and Bottom-Right 2 Fish, Sea Serpent, and/or Aqua monsters Monsters this card points to gain 500 ATK/DEF. You can only use each of the following effects of "Mermail Abyssalacia" once per turn. ● During your opponent's turn (Quick Effect): You can send 1 card from your hand to the GY; add 1 "Mermail" monster from your Deck to your hand. ● If this card in its owner's possession is destroyed by an opponent's attack or card effect: You can send 1 WATER monster from your Deck to the GY, then target 1 WATER monster in your GY; Special Summon it in Defense Position. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | The effects are pretty mediocre and it's not very strong but in some instances it can be okay. |
| DANE-EN093 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Number XX: Utopic Dark Infinity DARK / Warrior-Tupe Xyz / Rank 10 / ATK 4000 / DEF 4000 2+ Level 10 monsters When a monster is destroyed by battle and sent to the GY: You can detach 1 material from this card, then target that monster; Special Summon it to your field in Defense Position. You can target 1 other face-up Special Summoned monster you control; gain LP equal to its original ATK. You can only use each effect of "Number XX: Utopic Dark Infinity" once per turn. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | As far as Number and Utopic monsters go, it's pretty powerful and getting the materials isn't too difficult thanks to Metal Reflect Slime and Yubel. Still, the monster it revives is going to be vulnerable and this guy will lose an Xyz Material. The other effect costs nothing, though. |
| DANE-EN092 | |
| Card Type: | Xyz Monster |
| Card Info | Number 5: Doom Chimera Dragon DARK / Dragon-Type Xyz / Rank 5 / ATK 0 / DEF 0 2+ Level 5 monsters Gains 1000 ATK for each material attached to it. This card with material can attack all monsters your opponent controls once each. At the end of the Battle Phase, if this card battled: You can activate one of the following effects. ● Target 1 monster in your GY; attach it to this card as material. ● Target 1 card in your opponent's GY; place it on top of their Deck. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It's weak to start but with at least 3 Xyz Materials, it can be okay and can get more each turn but is entirely relient on having them to be even remotely successful. |
| DANE-EN091 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Loge's Flame Continuous Trap While you control a "Valkyrie" monster, monsters your opponent controls with 2000 or less ATK cannot attack. If this card in your possession is destroyed by an opponent's card effect: You can Special Summon 1 Level 5 or higher "Valkyrie" monster from your hand or Deck. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It isn't going to do much, even in Valkyrie Decks because monsters that are stronger can bypass it whether you have a Valkyrie monster out or not. At least the other effect can bring out just about any Valkyrie monster. |
| DANE-EN090 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Pegasus Wing Normal Spell If you have a Union monster in your GY: Target any number of "Valkyrie" monsters you control; those monsters can attack directly this turn, but if they do so using this effect, their battle damage inflicted to your opponent is halved. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | At least you don't need to control a Union monster, nor do you need a Valkyrie one but Union monsters generally aren't all that good, appart from the XYZ ones. |
| DANE-EN089 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Valkyrie's Embrace Normal Spell If all monsters you control are "Valkyrie" monsters: Target 1 Attack Position "Valkyrie" monster you control and 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; change your monster to Defense Position, and if you do, banish that opponent's monster. You cannot Special Summon monsters the turn you activate this card, except "Valkyrie" monsters. You can only activate 1 "Valkyrie's Embrace" per turn. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | There are better ways to banish monsters without even needing Valkyrie monsters. |
| DANE-EN088 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Valkyrie Chariot WIND / Fairy-Type Union / Level 3 / ATK 500 / DEF 1000 Once per turn, you can either: Target 1 Fairy monster you control; equip this card to that target, OR: Unequip this card and Special Summon it. If the equipped monster would be destroyed by battle or card effect, destroy this card instead. When the equipped monster declares an attack: You can have it gain 500 ATK. (This ATK gain remains even if this card leaves the field.) COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | The ATK boost applies to any Fairy-Type monster and will give it the ATK even after it's been removed from its host. Still, it doesn't have much on its own. |
| DANE-EN087 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Valkyrie Erda LIGHT / Fairy / Level 8 / ATK 2000 / DEF 2200 You can only control 1 "Valkyrie Erda". While you control this card, Special Summoned by the effect of a "Valkyrie" card, all face-up monsters your opponent controls lose 1000 ATK. Any card destroyed by battle or card effect that would be sent to your opponent's GY is banished instead. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | I don't know of too many Valkyrie cards we have that Special Summon the likes of her but she's not going to be that useful even so because apart from that, she's just a copy of Banisher of the Light. |
| DANE-EN086 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Valkyrie Funfte LIGHT / Fairy / Level 2 / ATK 800 / DEF 1200 "Valkyrie" monsters you control gain 200 ATK for each of your opponent's banished monsters. If you control a "Valkyrie" monster other than "Valkyrie Funfte": You can send 1 Spell/Trap from your Deck to the GY. You can only use this effect of "Valkyrie Funfte" once per turn. RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Unfortunately, key cards that could make her remotely playable are either limited or banned and probably aren't going to be released from those statuses anytime soon. This means, she'll pretty much be useless until then. |
| DANE-EN085 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | You're in Danger! Normal Trap Reveal 3 "Danger!" monsters with different names from your Deck, your opponent randomly picks 1 for you to Special Summon, and you shuffle the rest into the Deck. During the End Phase, destroy that Special Summoned monster. You can only activate 1 "You're in Danger!" per turn. RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | What danger am I in? The mere thought of a piece of cardboard with ink temporarily staying on the field? Turns out some danger IS a laughing matter. |
| DANE-EN084 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Danger! Feets of Strength! Equip Spell Equip only to a "Danger!" monster. It gains 800 ATK/DEF. It cannot be destroyed by card effects. It can make up to 2 attacks on monsters during each Battle Phase. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Since Danger! monsters are pretty vulnerable as is, they'll need cards like this to support themselves but this won't be enough. |
| DANE-EN083 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Danger! Excitement! Mystery! Normal Spell Discard 1 Level 5 or higher "Danger!" monster; add 1 Level 4 or lower "Danger!" monster from your Deck to your hand. You cannot Special Summon monsters for the rest of this turn after this card resolves, except "Danger!" monsters. You can only activate 1 "Danger! Excitement! Mystery!" per turn. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | The Danger! is more like crying wolf because the entire Archetype has proven to be pretty much just as the folklore presents it, intriguing at first then disappointing later on. |
| DANE-EN082 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Saryuja's Shackles Normal Trap Target 1 Link Monster your opponent controls or is in their GY; draw cards equal to its Link Rating, then, if you have 2 or more cards in your hand, place 2 cards from your hand on the bottom of your Deck in any order. You can only activate 1 "Saryuja's Shackles" per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | I'd think having the Link Monster out in general would've sufficed to be the card's activation requirements but we're apparently not allowed to draw cards anymore without getting rid of cards in our hand afterwards. |
| DANE-EN081 | |
| Card Type: | Synchro Monster |
| Card Info | Muddy Mudragon DARK / Dragon-Type Synchro / Level 5 / ATK 500 / DEF 2200 1 Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner monsters This card can be used as a substitute for any 1 Fusion Material whose name is specifically listed on the Fusion Monster Card, but the other Fusion Material(s) must be correct. During your Main Phase, if you control this Synchro Summoned card: You can Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters you control as Fusion Material, including this card. You can only use this effect of "Muddy Mudragon" once per turn. RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | In spite of its artwork, all that mud has left it becoming pretty much useless in Duels as everything it has to offer can be done as well as if not better for little or no effort. |
| DANE-EN080 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Dice It Normal Trap Roll a six-sided die. Apply this effect, depending on whose turn it is. ● During your turn: Banish cards from your GY equal to the result. Then, if the result was 1, send 6 cards from the top of your Deck to the GY. ● During your opponent's turn: Send cards from the top of your Deck to the GY equal to the result. Then, if the result was 6, banish 1 card from your GY. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Doesn't matter what effect you end up using as you lose either way. It's just a pitiful attempt to trigger effects in the Graveyard. |
| DANE-EN079 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Snowman Effect Normal Trap Target 1 face-up monster you control; it gains ATK equal to the combined original ATK of the other monsters you control, until the end of this turn. It cannot attack directly during the turn you activate this card. You can only activate 1 "Snowman Effect" per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | Beatdown Decks can take full advantage of this in a lot of ways, especially since it doesn't restrain your other monsters from attacking (should you use this during your turn). |
| DANE-EN078 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Crackdown Continuous Trap Activate by targeting 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; take control of that monster. While you control that monster, it cannot attack or activate effects. When that monster leaves the field, destroy this card. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 4 |
| Comments: | Mind Control has nothing on this card because while that card can be activated more readily, this can take anything and use that monster for anything. It also has little restraints and no activation requirements, apart from being a Trap Card. |
| DANE-EN077 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Chain Hole Normal Trap When your opponent activates a monster effect in response to a card or effect activation: Negate that opponent's effect, then, your opponent can banish 1 card from their hand or Deck with the same original name as that negated card. If they did not, you can banish 1 random card from their hand. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | While I can see it being somewhat potent against Decks that rely heavily on their monster effects, it doesn't stop anything else and doesn't do much when it's successful. |
| DANE-EN076 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | World Legacy Cliffhanger Normal Trap When an attack is declared involving 2 Link Monsters: Shuffle all monsters on the field and in the GYs into the Decks. For the rest of this turn after this card resolves, neither player can Link Summon. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | This is like having an episode end in suspense where you know the result and here, it's plainly obvious that it's just not worth using. |
| DANE-EN075 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | World Legacy Collapse Continuous Trap You can banish 1 "World Legacy" monster from your hand, GY, or face-up field, then target 1 Link Monster on the field; it gains ATK equal to the original ATK of the banished monster (even if this card leaves the field). If a Link Monster(s) you control is destroyed by battle or an opponent's card effect while this card is in your GY: You can banish this card; Special Summon 1 Cyberse Link Monster from your GY. You can only use each effect of "World Legacy Collapse" once per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It's not even specific to World Legacy Link Monsters but since it needs a World Legacy Monster to even use the effect, it might as well be and it's okay for those Decks. |
| DANE-EN074 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Orcust Crescendo Counter Trap When a Spell/Trap Card, or monster effect, is activated while you control an "Orcust" Link Monster: Negate the activation, and if you do, banish that card. You can banish this card from your GY; add to your hand 1 of your DARK Machine monsters that is banished or in your Deck. You cannot Special Summon monsters the turn you activate this effect, except DARK Machine monsters. You can only use 1 "Orcust Crescendo" effect per turn, and only once that turn. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It can't be just any Orcust monster but it stops just about anything that would come your way in return. The 2nd effect isn't all that useful, though. |
| DANE-EN073 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | The Weather Rainbowed Canvas Continuous Trap You can only control 1 "The Weather Rainbowed Canvas". "The Weather" Effect Monsters in your Main Monster Zones of this card's column and its adjacent columns gain this effect. ● If your opponent controls a monster (Quick Effect): You can banish this card; Special Summon 1 "The Weather" monster with a different name from your Deck, also you cannot Special Summon other monsters from the Deck for the rest of this turn. RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | All that text for a card that Special Summons 1 monster? Not even The Weather Decks should consider this. |
| DANE-EN072 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Magical Musket - Crooked Crown Continuous Trap You can only control 1 "Magical Musket - Crooked Crown". During the Main Phase: You can Special Summon 1 "Magical Musket" monster from your hand, and if you do, if your opponent's Main Monster Zone in that monster's current column is unused, that zone cannot be used until the end of this turn (even if this card leaves the field). You can only use this effect of "Magical Musket - Crooked Crown" once per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | You'll probably get at least 2 Magical Musketeers out each turn but the opponent's Main Monster Zone only becomes unusable for 1 turn. |
| DANE-EN071 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Super Quantal Union - Magnaformation Continuious Trap Your opponent cannot target "Super Quant" cards on the field with card effects during your Main Phase 1. You can target 1 "Super Quant" Xyz Monster you control; attach 1 other face-up monster you control to it as material. You can only use this effect of "Super Quantal Union - Magnaformation" once per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | If it weren't for the 2nd effect, I'd have no problem giving this card my lowest rating but it's not much better. |
| DANE-EN070 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Assault Reboot Normal Trap Tribute 1 "/Assault Mode" monster; Special Summon 1 "/Assault Mode" monster from your Deck with a different name in Defense Position, ignoring its Summoning conditions. You can banish this card from your GY, then target any number of cards in your GY, with different names, that are "Assault Mode Activate" and/or specifically list "Assault Mode Activate" in their text, except "Assault Reboot"; shuffle them into the Deck. You can only use each effect of "Assault Reboot" once per turn. RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | What's the point of this exactly? You're just trading in 1 useless /Assault Mode monster for one that's even worse given that it wasn't summoned properly. The other effect doesn't even mean anything since you're just recycling the junk that makes up the Archetype as a whole. |
| DANE-EN069 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | D - Tactics Continuous Trap During the Standby Phase: You can have all "HERO" monsters you control gain 400 ATK (even if this card leaves the field). If a Level 8 or higher "Destiny HERO" monster(s) or a "Destiny End Dragoon" is Special Summoned to your field (except during the Damage Step): You can banish 1 card from your opponent's hand (random), field, or GY. If this card in the Spell & Trap Zone is destroyed by card effect: You can add 1 "Destiny HERO" monster from your Deck to your hand. You can only use each effect of "D - Tactics" once per turn. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | The tactics here are pretty minimal except for the last one, which actually has some uses. |
| DANE-EN068 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Altergesit Haunted Rock Continuous Trap If this card was Set by the effect of an "Altergeist" card, you can activate it the turn it was Set. When this card is activated: Send 1 "Altergeist" monster from your hand to the GY. When your opponent activates a Trap Card (except during the Damage Step): You can send 1 "Altergeist" monster from your hand to the GY; negate that effect, and if you do, destroy that card. You can only use each effect of "Altergeist Haunted Rock" once per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Not even that playable in Altergeist Decks considering you end up losing more than you gain and only the 2nd effect is worth it. |
| DANE-EN067 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Packet Swap Normal Spell Target 1 face-up non-Link Monster you control and 1 Link Monster your opponent controls; switch control of those monsters. You can only activate 1 "Packet Swap" per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | First of all, this card targets, which means it can be blocked by cards that Creature Swap can't and second, you're limited on monsters you can choose on both sides of the field. |
| DANE-EN066 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Stand In Quick-Play Spell Tribute 1 monster, then target 1 monster in your opponent's GY with the same original Type and Attribute; Special Summon it to your field. You can only activate 1 "Stand In" per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | If you need a monster that badly, use Call of the Haunted, Monster Reborn or any other more versatile card. |
| DANE-EN065 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Mordschlag Equip Spell Equip only to a Normal Summoned/Set monster you control. It is unaffected by your opponent's activated effects of Special Summoned monsters. During damage calculation, if the equipped monster battles an opponent's Special Summoned monster: That opponent's monster loses ATK/DEF equal to the equipped monster's original ATK, during that damage calculation only. COMMON |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | This can be especially deadly with Armed Protector Dragon, whom can protect this card from harm as well but just about any high ATK monster can make use of this. |
| DANE-EN064 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Mystic Mine Field Spell If your opponent controls more monsters than you do, your opponent cannot activate monster effects or declare an attack. If you control more monsters than your opponent does, you cannot activate monster effects or declare an attack. Once per turn, during the End Phase, if both players control the same number of monsters: Destroy this card. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Field Barrier can keep this card in play regardless of the number of monsters out but this card isn't all that good except in very few Decks. |
| DANE-EN063 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Dirge of the Lost Dragon Continuous Spell Activate this card by declaring 1 card name. Each time the declared card, or its effect, is activated, halve its owner's LP immediately after it resolves. During the End Phase, if this card halved a player's LP this turn, send this card to the GY. While your opponent controls a monster, this card cannot be destroyed by card effects. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Just like the monster it depicts, this card is hurtful to both players and doesn't stop the card that triggers the effect in the first place. It's also irrelevent that it can't be destroyed by card effects if your opponenent has a monster out. |
| DANE-EN062 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Impcantation Thanatosis Field Spell When this card is activated: You can reveal 1 "Impcantation" monster in your hand and Special Summon 2 monsters with that monster's name from your Deck, then shuffle the revealed monster into the Deck. Once per turn, if a Ritual Monster is Special Summoned to your field (except during the Damage Step): You can target 1 card on the field; destroy it. You can only activate 1 "Impcantation Thanatosis" per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Doesn't really matter what effects are given to support Impcantations because they have no good uses whatsoever. |
| DANE-EN061 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Crusadia Testament Quick-Play Spell Activate 1 of these effects. ● Your opponent cannot activate cards or effects in response to the activation of your "Crusadia" monster effects this turn. ● After damage calculation, if your "Crusadia" Link Monster destroys an opponent's monster by battle: Draw cards equal to your monster's Link Rating. You can only activate 1 "Crusadia Testament" per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | The extra cards you draw from this effect isn't going to offset the crappiness of the Crusadia Link Monsters. |
| DANE-EN060 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Guardragon Reincarnation Quick-Play Spell Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, by banishing Fusion Materials listed on it, that are all Link Monsters, from your field or GY. You can only activate 1 "Guardragon Reincarnation" per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | I highly doubt any Fusion Monster that needs Link Monsters is going to prove useful and even if it is, there are better cards to use to bring out Fusion Monsters than this. |
| DANE-EN059 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | World Legacy Monstrosity Quick-Play Spell Activate 1 of these effects. ● Special Summon 1 Level 9 monster from your hand. ● Target 1 Level 9 monster you control; Special Summon from your Deck, 2 Level 9 monsters each with different original Type and Attribute from that face-up targeted monster, and with different names from each other, but these 2 monsters cannot attack, also destroy them during the End Phase. You can only activate 1 "World Legacy Monstrosity" per turn. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | A monstrosity indeed because it's based on a Level that most people don't even use (and shouldn't) and won't likely have in their hand at the time. No excuse is good enough to explain why this card is such a high rarity. |
| DANE-EN058 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Cloudian Aerosol Normal Spell Discard 1 "Cloudian" monster, then target 1 face-up monster on the field; place Fog Counters on that target equal to its Level. You can banish this card and 1 "Cloudian" monster from your GY; Special Summon 1 "Cloudian" monster from your Deck. You can only use 1 "Cloudian Aerosol" effect per turn, and only once that turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | This'd be a start in making Cloudians relevent in tounaments (they never really did get going when they were released) but a start isn't enough in getting a Deck to top tier status. |
| DANE-EN057 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Mayakashi Winter Continuous Spell Monsters your opponent controls lose 100 ATK/DEF for each "Mayakashi" monster with a different name in your GY. You can only use 1 of the following effects of "Mayakashi Winter" per turn, and only once that turn. ● Send this card and 1 "Mayakashi" monster you control to the GY; draw 1 card. ● Banish this card and 1 Zombie monster from your GY, then target 1 "Mayakashi" monster in your GY; Special Summon it. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | That's got to be one harsh winter because the effects are so bad they're outclassed by cards dating back to Pharaonic Guardian. |
| DANE-EN056 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Super Quantal Alphancall Appeal Quick-Play Spell If a "Super Quant" monster you control is destroyed by battle: Special Summon 1 "Super Quantal Mech Beast" Xyz Monster from your Extra Deck, then you can Special Summon 1 "Super Quantum" monster from your hand, Deck, or GY, that is specifically listed on that Xyz Monster in its text, but negate its effects. You can only activate 1 "Super Quantal Alphancall Appeal" per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | So you replace the Super Quant monster you lost with two that are just about useless. There's no appeal for this card at all, though I'm sure there's a need to appeal the decision to make the card in the first place. |
| DANE-EN055 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Assault Mode Zero Quick-Play Spell Tribute 1 Synchro Monster; Special Summon 1 "/Assault Mode" monster from your hand whose name includes the Tributed monster's name. (This is treated as a Special Summon with "Assault Mode Activate".) During your Main Phase: You can banish this card from your GY; Set 1 "Assault Mode Activate" directly from your hand or Deck. It can be activated this turn. You can only use each effect of "Assault Mode Zero" once per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | /Assault Modes are pretty much a lost cause at this point. Pretty much all their members and their support suck as a whole and the only one that was ever used to my knowledge was Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode. |
| DANE-EN054 | |

| Comments: | The monsters Fur Hire are probably only remembered by me for their flipped terminology regarding mentioning the Archetype but that won't be enough to make it that useful. |

| Comments: | It has minor uses in Decks specific to having FIRE monsters with 200 DEF or Volcanic Scattershot but not much else. |

| Comments: | It's perhaps the first /Assault Mode monster not to be Ultra Rare and for good reason because it's pretty difficult to bring out, though its ATK and DEF are respectible. |

| Comments: | Since the /Assault Mode monsters can't be Special Summoned other ways and this guy doesn't bypass those other ways, it doesn't have much to get thus far. |

| Comments: | /Assault Mode monsters still don't have what it takes to do well and even then, I probably won't give them much credit. This guy is also a Tuner monster, though. |

| Comments: | Sometimes you have to play with the hand your dealt but this is thankfully not one of them as this is basically the Dead Man's Hand. |

COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It's probably not going to be much use on the field so you might as well use it for one of its comrades that is in trouble. The other effect is pretty situational anyway. |

| Card Info | Dinowrestler Coelasilat EARTH / Dinosaur-Type Tuner / Level 2 / ATK 100 / DEF 800 If you control no monsters, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand).

COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | The effect certainly went all out to make sure it was pointless to use given that it's a variation of Archetype Bias. At least it's a Tuner but that's really its only redeeming quality. |

| Comments: | Dinowrestlers have been around longer than Salamangreats but their progress is equally slow. |

| Comments: | A pretty typical Tuner monster that at least doesn't have the typical Altergeist side-effects. |

| Comments: | Salamangreats still haven't really improved since their debut and I doubt they ever will. This card is only marginally helping them out. |

| Comments: | I actually had to verify that I had Firewall Guardian's and this guy's correct stats because they're exactly the same. Its effects aren't any better either. |

| Comments: | It's only playable thanks to its 2000 DEF becasuse the effects are both pretty situational. |

| Comments: | Well as far as Sneak Previews, it's about what you'd expect, nothing overpowered or underpowered, except this card is pretty much useless as the effect only lasts one turn and only when you control no cards. |
