GENF-EN099
Card Info Steelswarm Roach
DARK / Fiend-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK 1900 / DEF 0
2 Level 4 monsters
When a Level 5 or higher monster would be Special Summoned: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; negate the Special Summon and destroy it.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: The currently overhyped card because his effect doesn't stop the Normal Summon of any monster so I can Tribute Summon a Monarch or just Normal Summon Gene-Warped Warwolf and crush him.
GENF-EN098*
Card Info A Hero Lives
Normal Spell
When you control no face-up monsters: Pay half your Life Points; Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Elemental HERO" monster from your Deck.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It can give you an extra Tribute or allow you to activate Mask Change but the steep price can cost you the duel if the monster you bring out with it is destroyed.
GENF-EN097
Card Info Mask Change
Quick-Play Spell
Target 1 face-up "HERO" monster you control; send it to the Graveyard. Then Special Summon 1 "Masked HERO" monster from the Extra Deck with the same Attribute.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: You can send any HERO monster to the Grave and bring out any Masked HERO with the same attribute but IMO, the only even remotely playable Masked HERO is Vapor.
GENF-EN096
Card Info Vision HERO Adoration
DARK / Warrior-Type Fusion / Level 8 / ATK 2800 / DEF 2100
2 "HERO" monsters
Once per turn: You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls and 1 face-up "HERO" monster you control, except this card; the opponent's targeted monster loses ATK and DEF equal to the ATK of your targeted monster, until the End Phase.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: He steals the ATK of your opponent's monsters and adds that to your targeted HERO monster but he's not allowed to use it on himself, leaving his rating at 2.
GENF-EN095
Card Info Masked HERO Vapor
WATER / Warrior-Type Fusion / Level 6 / ATK 2400 / DEF 2000
Must be Special Summoned with "Mask Change", and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. This card cannot be destroyed by card effects.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Good thing he can't be destroyed by card effects because he can't be brought back later via Monster Reborn or the like but that's only enough to give him 2 stars due to his summoning conditions.
GENF-EN094
Card Info Masked HERO Goka
FIRE / Warrior-Type Fusion / Level 6 / ATK 2200 / DEF 1800
Must be Special Summoned with "Mask Change" and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. This card gains 100 ATK for each "HERO" monster in your Graveyard.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Let him stay masked because no one will want to look at him because of his terrible stats and effect.
GENF-EN093*
Card Info Elemental HERO Nova Master
FIRE / Warrior-Type Fusion / Level 8 / ATK 2600 / DEF 2100
1 "Elemental HERO" monster + 1 FIRE monster
Must be Fusion Summoned and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. If this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle: Draw 1 card.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: He'd have something to go for if you could bring him back via Monster Reborn and it would somewhat justify him being Ultra but that's it for him if he's destroyed after being Fusion Summoned.
GENF-EN092
Card Info Phantom Magician
DARK / Spellcaster / Level 3 / ATK 600 / DEF 700
When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 "HERO" monster with 1000 or less ATK from your Deck in face-up Defense Position.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: I see why he's called Phantom Magician. Probably died in battle very early and he should be left in peace because there's no monster he can pick up from your Deck that's any good.
GENF-EN091
Card Info Vision HERO Trinity
DARK / Warrior-Type Fusion / Level 8 / ATK 2500 / DEF 2000
3 "HERO" monsters
During the turn this card was Fusion Summoned, its ATK is double its original ATK. This Fusion Summoned card can attack 3 times during each Battle Phase. This card cannot attack your opponent directly.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: His Fusion Materials aren't specific at all and while he only attains double his ATK the turn he's Fusion Summoned and can't attack directly, he can still attack three times per Battle Phase.
GENF-EN090
Card Info Elemental HERO Flash
LIGHT / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1100 / DEF 1600
When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard: You can banish this card and 3 "Elemental HERO" Monster Cards with different names from your Graveyard to target 1 Normal Spell Card in your Graveyard; add that target to your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: In a flash, he'll be gone and from more than just the field because his effect is terrible because for what it requires you to banish, you get only a Normal Spell Card.
GENF-EN089
Card Info Smashing Horn
Counter Trap
When a monster effect or Trap Card is activated that negates the Normal or Special Summon of a monster(s): Negate the activation and destroy it.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: This makes even Counter Counter look good because that card can negate more than this.
GENF-EN088
Card Info Painful Return
Normal Spell
Your opponent chooses 1 monster in your Graveyard. During the End Phase, add that monster to your hand.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: This isn't too bad if you only have good choices in your Grave for your opponent to choose from but you have to wait until the End Phase to get it and likely this'll be a dead draw.
GENF-EN087
Card Info Fish and Swaps
Normal Spell
Discard 1 card to target 2 of your banished Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua-Type monsters; add them to your hand.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: You could theoretically ditch another Fish, Sea Serpent or Aqua-Type monster while Dimensional Fissure/Macro Cosmos is active but that won't be enough for me to raise its rating any higher. 
GENF-EN086
Card Info Adreus, Keeper of Armageddon
DARK / Fiend-Type Xyz / Rank 5 / ATK 2600 / DEF 1700
2 Level 5 monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to target 1 face-up card your opponent controls; destroy it.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It lets you detach one of its Xyz Materials to destroy any face up card your opponent controls but this guy needs 2 Level 5 monsters and will only get to use the effect twice for the time being.
GENF-EN085
Card Info Orient Dragon
WIND / Dragon-Type Synchro / Level 6 / ATK 2300 / DEF 1000
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
When this card is Synchro Summoned: Target 1 face-up Synchro Monster your opponent controls; banish that target.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: The effect is only activated the turn it's Synchro Summoned but it can get rid of that pesky Stardust Dragon or Brionac.
GENF-EN084
Card Info Pain Painter
DARK / Zombie-Type Tuner / Level 2 / ATK 400 / DEF 200
While this card is face-up on the field, its name is treated as "Plaguespreader Zombie". Once per turn: You can target up to 2 face-up Zombie-Type monsters you control, except this card; they become Level 2 until the End Phase. They cannot be used as Synchro Material Monsters, except for the Synchro Summon of a Zombie-Type monster.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: This guy was literally made to Synchro Summon with those hard-to-bring-out Zombie Synchros like Archfiend Zombie Skull and both of his effects can achieve that.
GENF-EN083
Card Info Lost Blue Breaker
WATER / Sea Serpent / Level 3 / ATK 1400 / DEF 0
If there is another face-up Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua-Type monster on the field: You can Tribute this card to target 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field; destroy that target.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: A slower MST effect that requires the field to have another Fish Sea Serpent or Aqua-Type monster just to tribute this guy and destroy 1 Spell or Trap Card. Let him/her forever remain lost in the garbage.
GENF-EN082*
Card Info Piercing Moray
WATER / Fish / Level 4 / ATK 1500 / DEF 500
Once per turn: You can Tribute 1 Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua-Type monster; this card gains 600 ATK. If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing Battle Damage to your opponent.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: The ATK boost is permanent and it has the piercing Battle Damage effect but overall not worth being Ultra since it's pretty weak with only one good effect.
GENF-EN081
Card Info Sea Lancer
WATER / Beast-Warrior / Level 5 / ATK 1300 / DEF 1000
You can target any number of your banished Fish, Sea Serpent, and Aqua-Type monsters; equip them to this card. This effect can only be used once while this card is face-up on the field. If this face-up card on the field would be destroyed, you can destroy 1 of those cards, instead. This card gains 1000 ATK while equipped with a monster(s) by this effect.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It can equip itself with all your other Fish, Sea Serpent and Aqua-Type monsters, giving it 1000 ATK for each and can avoid destruction by destroying one of its equip cards but being Level 5 hurts it and its rating.
GENF-EN080
Card Info Gravelstorm
Normal Trap
Target 1 Spell/Trap Card on each side of the field; return them to the hand.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: With the Sept 2011 Banned list now taking effect, we get back Heavy Storm so there's no room for this except in a trash can.
GENF-EN079*
Card Info Raigeki Bottle
Continuous Trap
Each time a monster you control declares an attack, place 1 Thunder Counter on this card. You can send this card with 4 or more Thunder Counters to the Graveyard; destroy all monsters your opponent controls.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: Talk about a one-sided card! You clear your opponent's field of monsters just by sending it with at least 4 Thunder Counters on it!
GENF-EN078
Card Info Attention!
Normal Trap
Target 1 face-up Level 5 or lower monster your opponent controls; destroy all face-up monsters on the field with a different Level than it.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: The effect affects both sides of the field so you'll want to make sure you have no monsters with a different Level than the targeted monster. 
GENF-EN077
Card Info Tyrant's Tummyache
Continuous Trap
Activate by Tributing 1 monster. Neither player can Special Summon a Level 6 or higher monster. If you have 3 or more cards in your hand, destroy this card.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: It doesn't stop Normal Summons of Level 6+ monsters, it affects both players and it self-destructs if its controller has at least 3 cards in their hand plus you have to Tribute a monster just to activate it! 
GENF-EN076
Card Info Curse of the Circle
Normal Trap
Target 1 monster your opponent controls; your opponent cannot Tribute it, or use it as a Synchro Material Monster.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: At least the effect doesn't end during the End Phase and isn't restricted to any particular monster your opponent controls. 
GENF-EN075
Card Info United Front
Counter Trap
When a Trap Card is activated while you control 2 or more face-up monsters with the same Level: Negate the activation and destroy it.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It has to be activated when a Trap Card is activated but its activation requirements aren't too steep.  
GENF-EN074
Card Info Utopian Aura
Normal Trap
Detach 1 Xyz Material you control; the face-up Xyz Monsters you control cannot be destroyed by card effects until the End Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Save Utopia or Gachi Gachi from being destroyed by your opponent's card effect threats but being a Trap Card and having to detach an Xyz Material hurts this card's playability and rating.
GENF-EN073
Card Info Treaty on Uniform Nomenclature
Normal Trap
If you control 2 or more face-up monsters with the same name, except Tokens: Apply this effect, depending on how many you control.
● Exactly 2: Destroy 1 Spell/Trap Card your opponent controls.
● Exactly 3: Destroy all Spell/Trap Cards your opponent controls.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It's not limited to any 2 copies of the Ojamas thankfully so I can use multiple Krebons or heck any 2 copies of a monster but in most cases, you'll only destroy 1 opponent's Spell or Trap Card.
GENF-EN072
Card Info Burgeoning Whirlflame
Counter Trap
When a Trap Card is activated: Send 1 "Laval" monster from your hand to the Graveyard; negate the activation and destroy it. If this card is in the Graveyard: You can banish 2 FIRE monsters from your Graveyard; add this card to your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: There's no activation cost except to discard a Laval monster from your hand but I wouldn't have put an activation cost into a bad card like this one.
GENF-EN071
Card Info Past Image
Normal Trap
If you control a face-up Psychic-Type monster: Target 1 monster your opponent controls; banish it. During the next Standby Phase, it returns to the opponent's side of the field in the same Battle Position.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: You may not need to discard anything but you need to have a Psychic-Type monster out and being a Trap Card, it'll take longer to use. Worse yet, the monster comes back later. Stick to Dark Core over this.
GENF-EN070
Card Info Bright Future
Normal Trap
Target 2 of your banished Psychic-Type monsters; return both those targets to the Graveyard and draw 1 card.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Can come in handy if you just brought out Ultimate Axon Kicker or Chaos Sorcerer but Burial from a Different Dimension can return any 3 of your banished monsters back to your Grave and is Quick-Play.
GENF-EN069
Card Info Oh F!sh!
Counter Trap
When an Effect Monster's effect activates: Shuffle 1 of your banished Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua-Type monsters into the Main Deck; negate the activation and destroy it.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It only negates Effect Monster effects and you can't just shuffle the monster types from anywhere (Deck, Grave, Hand) so you won't always have banished monsters to return for its activation requirement.
GENF-EN068
Card Info Underworld Egg Clutch
Normal Trap
When a face-up Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua-Type monster you control is banished: Add 1 Level 4 or lower Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua-Type monster from your Deck to your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It's easy to get one of your Fish, Sea Serpent or Aqua-Type monsters banished if destroyed by battle while Dimensional Fissure is active unless Jinzo or Royal Decree is also face up.
GENF-EN067
Card Info Overwind
Normal Trap
Target 1 face-up "Wind-Up" monster you control; its ATK and DEF are doubled, and it returns to the hand during the End Phase. You can only activate 1 "Overwind" per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: If you've got game and your opponent can't stop you when you activate this, then the downside doesn't matter but if they can, you may be in trouble.
GENF-EN066
Card Info Damage Vaccine Ω MAX
Normal Trap
When you take damage by battle or by a card effect: Gain Life Points equal to the damage you took.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: It applies to any kind of damage and you gain back all that you lost!
GENF-EN065
Card Info Explosive Urchin
Continuous Trap
Activate only when your opponent activates a Trap Card. During your Standby Phase: Inflict 1000 damage to your opponent. Your opponent must control a face-up Trap Card for you to activate and resolve this effect. During your 3rd End Phase after activation, send this card to the Graveyard.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: There's one obvious Trap Card that would meet this card's requirements but defeats the purpose of activating this yet this card's activation requirements aren't hard to achieve.
GENF-EN064
Card Info Poseidon Wave
Normal Trap
When an opponent's monster declares an attack: Target the attacking monster; negate that target's attack, and if you control any face-up Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua-Type monsters, inflict 800 damage to your opponent for each of those monsters.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: In most cases, you'd just be negating the attack but for that Negate Attack and Threatening Roar are better so you're better off keeping this in WATER decks.
GENF-EN063
Card Info Asleep at the Switch
Normal Trap
When your opponent gains Life Points: Target 1 monster your opponent controls; destroy that target.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It's anti-LP Gain Decks but if Prime Material Dragon is out, this card is useless unless its controller has no cards to discard for PMD.
GENF-EN062
Card Info Peeking Goblin
Normal Spell
Your opponent reveals the top 3 cards of their Deck. Choose one to place on the bottom of the Deck and place the other two on top of the Deck in any order.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Know what's coming next and mess with your opponent's strategy but it's a bit of a gamble since you have no idea what cards are next in your opponent's Deck.
GENF-EN061
Card Info Resonance Device
Normal Spell
Target 2 face-up monsters you control with the same Type and Attribute; change one of their Levels to the current Level of the other, until the End Phase.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Use only for themed decks because of this card's somewhat steep activation requirements.
GENF-EN060
Card Info Oni-Gami Combo
Normal Spell
Target 1 face-up Xyz Monster you control and detach all of its Xyz Material; this turn, that target can attack twice during the same Battle Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: I suppose you could steal your opponent's Xyz Monster then use this to remove it's Xyz Materials to make it less of a threat to you when you give the monster back but overall pretty poor.
GENF-EN059
Card Info Star Changer
Quick-Play Spell
Target 1 face-up monster on the field and activate 1 of these effects;
● Increase that target's Level by 1.
● Reduce that target's Level by 1.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: More of a disruption card than anything else, being a Quick-Play Spell.
GENF-EN058
Card Info Quill Pen of Gulldos
Normal Spell
Target 2 WIND monsters in your Graveyard and 1 card on the field; shuffle both of those first 2 targets into your Deck and return the other to the hand.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Your best bet is to use this only in decks where the majority or more of your monsters are WIND so you will be more likely able to activate this but you'll also need another card on the field to return to the hand.
GENF-EN057
Card Info Vylon Filament
Equip Spell
Equip only to a "Vylon" monster. If the equipped monster attacks, your opponent cannot activate any Spell/Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step. If this face-up card on the field is sent to the Graveyard: You can add 1 "Vylon" Spell Card from your Deck to your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Once the powerful Vylon Disigma is released, this card will become more playable but in the very least it can pick up another copy of itself if destroyed.
GENF-EN056
Card Info Future Glow
Continuous Spell
Banish 1 Psychic-Type monster from your Graveyard, and note its Level. All face-up Psychic-Type monsters you control gain ATK equal to that Level x 200.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: The ATK boost is permanent like the card itself and you can use it multiple times per turn but unless it's Level 5 or more, your other monsters won't get much of a boost.
GENF-EN055
Card Info Fish and Kicks
Normal Spell
If you have 3 or more banished Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua-Type monsters: Target 1 card on the field; banish it.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: There will be plenty of kicks to go around, literally as you'll have plenty of copies pulled from packs and you're sure to get a kick out of how bad the card really is.
GENF-EN054
Card Info Wind-Up Factory
Continuous Spell
Once per turn, if an effect of a "Wind-Up" monster is activated: You can add 1 Level 4 or lower "Wind-Up" monster from your Deck to your hand.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: This is almost a slower Black Whirlwind for Wind-Up monsters but since Wind-Up monster effects only activate once, you may not benefit from this card at all.
GENF-EN053
Card Info Legendary Wind-Up Key
Quick-Play Spell
Change all face-up "Wind-Up" monsters you control to face-down Defense Position.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Another Quick-Play that is probably going to be the main card of Wind-Up decks because their effects are reset but it isn't what I consider legendary at all.
GENF-EN052
Card Info Cracking
Continuous Spell
Once per turn, when a monster(s) is sent from the field to the Graveyard by a card effect: Inflict 800 damage to the owner of the monster(s).
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: In multiples, this could put the hurt on either player but it's easy to work around like with Synchro Summons.
GENF-EN051
Card Info Infected Mail
Continuous Spell
Once per turn: You can target 1 face-up Level 4 or lower monster you control; it can attack your opponent directly this turn. Send it to the Graveyard at the end of the Battle Phase.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: You may lose the monster at the end of the Battle Phase but it can be worth it with the right monster like Sangan or if your opponent would otherwise get it back like with Terror-Byte's effect.
GENF-EN050
Card Info Crashbug Road
Quick-Play Spell
Each player can Special Summon 1 monster from their hand with the same Level as 1 face-up Level 4 or lower monster they control.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Makes for an easy Xyz or Synchro Summon and is at least Quick-Play but it applies to both players.
GENF-EN049
Card Info Surface
Normal Spell
Target 1 Level 3 or lower Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua-Type monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it in face-up Defense Position.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: You'll have an extra monster to use for a Tribute, Synchro Summon or Xyz Summon but that's about it because you can't attack with it since it's Special Summoned in Defense Mode.
GENF-EN048
Card Info Aqua Jet
Normal Spell
Target 1 face-up Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua-Type monster you control; it gains 1000 ATK.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It's a permanent 1000 ATK boost but only for Fish, Sea Serpent or Aqua-Type monsters and unlike Axe of Despair, there's no built-in way to put it back in your hand.
GENF-EN047
Card Info Thunder Short
Normal Spell
Inflict 400 damage to your opponent for each monster they control.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: You can deal up to 2000 damage to your opponent and still attack but that's if they control 5 monsters at once and I don't think Xyz Materials count towards this card's effect. 
GENF-EN046
Card Info Double or Nothing!
Quick-Play Spell
When a monster's attack is negated: Target that monster; during this Battle Phase, it can attack again, and if it does, its ATK is doubled during the Damage Step only.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: Work around that Magic Cylinder or Negate attack and double your monster's ATK! Best of all, it's a Quick-Play Spell so you can use it to surprise your opponent! 
GENF-EN045*
Card Info Wonder Wand
Equip Spell
Equip only to a Spellcaster-Type monster. It gains 500 ATK. If you control the equipped monster and this card: You can send both to the Graveyard; draw 2 cards.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: With the most-often target for this card still banned (Witch of the Black Forest), there isn't that much use for this card except to ditch this and the equipped monster to draw twice.
GENF-EN044
Card Info Tiras, Keeper of Genesis
LIGHT / Fairy-Type Xyz / Rank 5 / ATK 2600 / DEF 1700
2 Level 5 monsters
This card's effects can only be applied/resolved while it has Xyz Material. This card cannot be destroyed by card effects. At the end of the Battle Phase, if this card attacked or was attacked: Target 1 card your opponent controls; destroy that target. During each of your End Phases: Detach 1 Xyz Material from this card.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It at least can't be destroyed by card effects if it has Xyz Materials but you have to give one up during your End Phases and when they're all gone, so is its protection from card effects.
GENF-EN043*
Card Info Leviair the Sea Dragon
WIND / Aqua / Level 3 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1600
2 Level 3 monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to target 1 banished Level 4 or lower monster; Special Summon that target to your side of the field.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: Its stats may be low for needing 2 monsters but you can bring back any banished Level 4 or less monster including your opponent's just by detaching one of its own Xyz Materials! 
GENF-EN042*
Card Info Wind-Up Zenmaister
EARTH / Machine-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK 1900 / DEF 1500
2 Level 4 monsters
This card gains 300 ATK for each Xyz Material attached to this card. Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to target 1 face-up monster you control; change it to face-down Defense Position, and during the End Phase of this turn, change it to face-up Attack Position.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Support for the Wind-Up monsters because of his name and effect or perhaps to re-use other Flip-Effect monster effects but while he gains 300 ATK per Xyz Material he has, he'll lose that over time.
GENF-EN041*
Card Info Number 34: Terror-Byte
DARK / Machine-Type Xyz / Rank 3 / ATK 0 / DEF 2900
3 Level 3 monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to target 1 Level 4 or lower face-up Attack Position monster your opponent controls; gain control of it until the End Phase.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: With 2900 DEF, it'll last long enough to at least use the effect once and since you need 3 Level 3 monsters you'll be able to use the effect 3 times but it's limited to Level 4 or less Attack Position monsters.
GENF-EN040
Card Info Submersible Carrier Aero Shark
WATER / Fish-Type Xyz / Rank 3 / ATK 1900 / DEF 1000
2 Level 3 monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; inflict 100 damage to your opponent for each of your banished monsters.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It's not hard to summon, just stack 2 Level 3 monsters underneath it but it isn't going to do much damage by its effect unless you detach an Xyz Material and have a good amount of banished monsters.
GENF-EN039**
Card Info Number 17: Leviathan Dragon
WATER / Dragon-Type Xyz / Rank 3 / ATK 2000 / DEF 0
2 Level 3 monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; this card gains 500 ATK. If this card has no Xyz Material, it cannot attack your opponent directly.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: The ATK boost is permanent but with no DEF, and having no ability to attack directly without Xyz Materials, he joins the other Trash Rare cover cards.
GENF-EN038
Card Info Milla the Temporal Magician
LIGHT / Spellcaster / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1000
When this card is Normal Summoned: Target 1 Set card your opponent controls; look at it. Your opponent cannot activate Spell/Trap Cards in response to this effect's activation.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: Her rating is on the high end of 3 stars because she cannot be hit by any of the Trap Hole cards if Normal Summoned and you use her effect!
GENF-EN037
Card Info The Great Emperor Penguin
WATER / Aqua / Level 5 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1500
You can Tribute this card; Special Summon up to 2 "Penguin" monsters from your Deck, except "The Great Emperor Penguin".
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: "The Great Emperor Penguin" has a mere 1800 ATK and 1500 DEF?! I doubt anyone but Krump the Third from the Virtual World would want this and that's how it should be.
GENF-EN036
Card Info Absolute Crusader
EARTH / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1200
When a Level 5 or higher monster is Special Summoned: Tribute this face-up card on the field; destroy that Level 5 or higher monster.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: Another decent monster but one that I don't think deserves being Super Rare but this is what Steelswarm Roach's rarity should be at most.
GENF-EN035
Card Info Ghost Ship
LIGHT / Fiend / Level 5 / ATK 1900 / DEF 1000
Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must first be Special Summoned (from your hand) by banishing 1 LIGHT monster from your Graveyard.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: This "ghost ship" is as bad as a kid's costume that's just a cotton sheet with holes for eyes. Gene-Warped Warwolf and Gemini Elf have no drawbacks, are Level 4 and have very nearly the same stats.
GENF-EN034
Card Info Blue-Blooded Oni
DARK / Zombie / Level 4 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1700
When this card is Normal or Flip Summoned: It is changed to Defense Position. Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material you control to target 1 Level 4 Zombie-Type monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target.

Comments: Thankfully  it goes to Defense Mode if Normal or Flip-Summoned and you can bring back another copy of itself but you have to detach Xyz Materials to use the effect but its stats put its survival in jeopardy.

DARK / Fiend / Level 7 / ATK 2700 / DEF 500

Rating: 1
Comments: Not only are his stats bad but he makes Possessed Dark Soul that much more playable because of searchability and being able to activate the stolen monster(s) effect(s)
GENF-EN032
Card Info Master of the Flaming Dragonswords
FIRE / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1200
When a monster is Normal Summoned to your side of the field, except "Master of the Flaming Dragonswords": You can increase that monster's Level by 1, and this card gains 300 ATK until the End Phase.

FIRE / Dragon / Level 3 / ATK 200 / DEF 100
When this card is Normal Summoned: You can add 1 "Poki Draco" from your Deck to your hand.
COMMON

Comments: Oh good so now you'll have a useless monster on the field AND in your hand while you prepare to take potentially major damage! Give this dragon a crib instead of a spot in your Deck.
GENF-EN030
Card Info Geargiano
EARTH / Machine / Level 3 / ATK 500 / DEF 1000
You can Tribute this card to target 1 Level 4 Machine-Type monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it from the Graveyard, but its effects on the field are negated.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Karakuris might use this to prevent them from having to attack or if it's Haipa, he won't change modes after attacking and at least you can use it if this guy is Special Summoned.
GENF-EN029
Card Info Saambell the Summoner
WIND / Spellcaster / Level 2 / ATK 600 / DEF 400
During your Main Phase: You can Special Summon 1 monster from your hand with the same Level as this card. This effect can only be used once while this card is face-up on the field.

GENF-EN028
Card Info Gusto Codor
WIND / Winged Beast / Level 3 / ATK 1000 / DEF 400
When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 WIND Psychic-Type monster with 1500 or less DEF from your Deck.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: So I guess this is a taste of the new archtype re-named to Gusto but it's off to a beyond pitiful start because its stats and effect have extremely low odds of success.
GENF-EN027
Card Info Gishki Diviner
WATER / Sea Serpent / Level 3 / ATK 1200 / DEF 800
Once per turn: You can declare 1 card name; reveal the top card of your Deck, and if it is the declared card, add it to your hand. Otherwise, return it to the top of the Deck.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: You've got VERY low odds if getting the card's name right unless you're playing Convulsion of Nature, which turns both players' decks upside-down.
GENF-EN026
Card Info Laval Magma Cannoneer
FIRE / Pyro / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 200
Up to twice per turn: You can send 1 FIRE monster from your hand to the Graveyard; inflict 500 damage to your opponent.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It combos with Rekindling so you can bring it back if it's ever destroyed or with Volcanic Scattershot to deal 1000 damage twice per turn but that's about it.
GENF-EN025
Card Info Gem-Elephant
EARTH / Rock / Level 3 / ATK 400 / DEF 1900
During your Main Phase: You can return this face-up card on the field to the hand. During damage calculation, if this card attacked or was attacked: You can send 1 Normal Monster from your hand to the Graveyard; this card gains 1000 DEF.

Card Info Time Escaper
EARTH / Psychic / Level 2 / ATK 500 / DEF 100
You can discard this card and target 1 face-up Psychic-Type monster you control; banish it until your next Standby Phase. This effect can be activated during either player's turn.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Its effect can be used during either player's turn and doesn't require much but it doesn't do much either for a Super Rare card.
GENF-EN023*
Card Info Space-Time Police
WIND / Psychic / Level 5 / ATK 2300 / DEF 1500
When this card is Special Summoned: Target 1 face-up card your opponent controls; banish that target. When this card leaves the field: Set the card that was banished by this effect to your opponent's side of the field.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: What justified his rarity bump from Super Rare? All he does is banish an opponent's face up card, then returns it face down when he leaves the field after being Special Summoned!
GENF-EN022
Card Info Wingtortoise
WIND / Aqua / Level 3 / ATK 1500 / DEF 1400
 When a face-up Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua-Type monster(s) you control is banished: You can Special Summon this card from your hand or Graveyard. (The banished monster(s) must be Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua-Type even after being banished.)

Rating: 2
Comments: He can come out from your hand or Grave when any of your Fish Sea Serpent or Aqua-Type monsters is banished for any reason but unless for a Tribute, he won't do much.

Once per turn: You can banish 1 Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua-Type monster from your hand to target 1 face-up card your opponent controls; destroy that target, then banish this card until your next Standby Phase.

Comments: If it's your opponent's only monster you're taking out with this guy's effect then you might've saved yourself except that this guy banishes himself after his effect is used.
GENF-EN020
Card Info Skystarray
WIND / Sea Serpent / Level 3 / ATK 600 / DEF 300
This card can attack your opponent directly. At the end of the Battle Phase, if this card attacked directly: Banish this card until your next Standby Phase.

Rating: 1
Comments: He's only temporary fuel for Banished Fish decks and his stats are pathetic.
GENF-EN019
Card Info Flyfang
WIND / Fish / Level 3 / ATK 1600 / DEF 300
If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing Battle Damage to your opponent. At the end of the Battle Phase, if this card inflicted Battle Damage to your opponent: Banish this card until your next Standby Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Why not instead go with Enraged Battle Ox or Spear Dragon since neither of those leave your field after inflicting Piercing Battle Damage?
GENF-EN018
Card Info Spearfish Soldier
WIND / Sea Serpent / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 1100
This card gains 100 ATK for each of your banished Fish, Sea Serpent, and Aqua-Type monsters.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Even in the Banished Fish decks it isn't going to get that much of a boost unless it's late in the game and with a mere 1700 ATK, this soldier will likely get demoted.
GENF-EN017
Card Info Wind-Up Snail
WATER / Aqua / Level 2 / ATK 100 / DEF 2000
During your Main Phase: You can target 1 Set card on the field; return that target to the hand. This effect can be used only once while this card is face-up on the field.
RARE

Comments: Enough DEF to stand up to most opening Monster Card plays but even that doesn't make it that playable.
GENF-EN016
Card Info Wind-Up Dog
EARTH / Beast / Level 3 / ATK 1200 / DEF 900
During your Main Phase: You can increase this card's Level by 2 and ATK by 600, until the End Phase. This effect can be used only once while this card is face-up on the field.

GENF-EN015
Card Info Wind-Up Juggler
WIND / Psychic / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 1000
After damage calculation, if this card battled an opponent's monster: You can destroy the opponent's monster. This effect can only be used once while this card is face-up on the field.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: It'll have to survive the attack in order to activate its once-per-time-on-the-field effect but Ally of Justice Catastor does the same for just about any monster and works more than once.
GENF-EN014
Card Info Wind-Up Magician
FIRE / Spellcaster / Level 4 / ATK 600 / DEF 1800
If the effect of a "Wind-Up" monster is activated, except "Wind-Up Magician": You can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Wind-Up" monster from your Deck in face-up Defense Position. This effect can only be used once while this card is face-up on the field.

Card Info Super Crashbug
DARK / Fiend / Level 4 / ATK 0 / DEF 3000
Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must first be Special Summoned (from your hand) in face-up Defense Position, by banishing "Crashbug X", "Crashbug Y", and "Crashbug Z" from your Graveyard. Switch the ATK and DEF of all face-up Attack Position monsters on the field. There can only be 1 face-up "Super Crashbug" on the field.
SUPER RARE

Comments: His method isn't optional like I first thought but it's not hard to pull off and you can bring him back later with a permanent Shield & Sword effect!
GENF-EN011
Card Info Crashbug Z
DARK / Fiend / Level 3 / ATK 0 / DEF 1500
When this card is Normal Summoned: You can Special Summon 1 "Crashbug Y" from your Deck. You must control a face-up "Crashbug X" to activate and to resolve this effect.

DARK / Fiend / Level 3 / ATKL 0 / DEF 2000

Comments: It doesn't get any weaker for a monster that can search for other parts but he's got some DEF to survive if you can get his Battle Position changed.
GENF-EN008
Card Info Jawsman
WATER / Beast-Warrior / Level 6 / ATK 2600 / DEF 1600
Cannot be Special Summoned. If you Tribute Summon this card, all Tributes must be WATER. This card gains 300 ATK for each face-up WATER monster you control, except this card.

GENF-EN007

This card can attack your opponent directly. Each time this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent by a direct attack: This card gains 1000 ATK.

WATER / Fish / Level 3 / ATK 1800 / DEF 300
At the end of the Battle Phase, if this card attacked: Banish it.

Comments: It's that side-effect that activates at the end of the Battle Phase that lowers this card's rating but I suppose there's that RFG Fish deck he can swim in.
GENF-EN004

When this card is Normal Summoned: You can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower monster from your hand, then change this card to Defense Position.

Face-up Xyz Monsters with Xyz Material cannot be targeted by card effects.
