Each time 1 monster on your side of the field inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points, your opponent sends 1 card from the top of his/her Deck to the Graveyard.

Why not just use Gravekeeper's Servant, which does mostly the same thing as a Spell Card?

Mataza the Zapper

This card could easily deserve a higher rarity, but even as a Rare, it's a great choice for a lot of Decks.

Invasion of Chaos (IOC-072)
Balloon Lizard
EARTH / Effect Monster / Level 4 / ATK 500 / DEF 1900

Put 1 counter on this card during each of your Standby Phases. When this card is destroyed, inflict damage equal to the number of counters x400 points to the controller of the card that destroyed this card.

(Beast-Warrior / Effect)
As long as this card remains face-up on your side of the field, when Beast, Beast-Warrior, and Winged Beast-Type monsters on your side of the field attack 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.
(Rare)

Rating: 1 out of 5

Stealth Bird
DARK / Effect Monster / Level 3 / ATK 700 / DEF 1700
(Winged Beast / Effect)

Gora Turtle of Illusion
WATER / Effect Monster / Level 4 / ATK 1200 / DEF 1400
(Aqua / Effect)
Negate the effect of Spell and Trap Cards controlled by your opponent that specifically designate this face-up card on the field as a target.

A slightly stronger Dark Magician that falls victim to its own party trick later on.

Invasion of Chaos (IOC-061)
Blazing Inpachi

(Pyro / Normal)
A wicked wooden spirit now burning in flames. Its fire attack is powerful, but it will soon be nothing but ashes.

Somehow it has high ATK despite being overcooked to ashes, but that's good enough for a 3.

Invasion of Chaos (IOC-060)

Invasion of Chaos (IOC-052)
Chain Disappearance
TRAP / Normal Trap

D. D. Borderline
