Being Level 5 I think should've allowed Spell or Traps to be retrieved, but it's little more than the original.

Quite weak compared to Slifer and Obelisk. The last effect is either a contradiction or a bust too.

Target monsters on the field, up to the number of Synchro Monsters with different names you control; return them to the hand. You can only activate 1 "Synchro Forceback" per turn.

Your opponent already takes all the damage from their battles and this makes things worse still.

Duelist Nexus (DUNE-EN075)
Purrely Sharely!?
TRAP / Normal Trap
Target 1 "Purrely" Xyz Monster you control; Special Summon 1 Level 1 "Purrely" monster from your Deck, but negate its effects, then Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 "Purrely" Xyz Monster with the same Rank but a different Attribute than the targeted monster, by using that Special Summoned monster as material.

Duelist Nexus (DUNE-EN073)

You can only use each effect of "Nemleria Louve" once per turn.

I'd louve to rate this higher, but the effect basically makes the new monster a Spirit monster.

Duelist Nexus (DUNE-EN072)
The Continuing Epic of Charles
TRAP / Normal Trap
Reveal 1 "Noble Arms" Equip Spell in your hand, and if you do, Special Summon 1 "Infernoble Knight" monster from your hand or Deck, then either equip the revealed card to that monster, or send it to the GY.

Nothing new here, just bad cards getting support that doesn't improve anything.

Duelist Nexus (DUNE-EN070)

As the previous two cards prove, this doesn't have any worthwhile targets and isn't good on its own.

The original was a Normal Monster so any effect is probably an upgrade, though this isn't by much.

I don't know why the last effect needs to be once per Duel, but it's still not terrible.

Konami gave them a very weak bond given the effect makes the stats doubled at best.
