Invasion of Chaos

IOC-111
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Invader of Darkness
DARK / Fiend / Level 8 / ATK 2900 / DEF 2500
As long as this card remains face-up on the field, your opponent cannot activate a Quick-Play Spell Card.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Without a good effect, a monster weaker than BEWD is certainly NOT playable because your opponent is only prevented from using Quick-Play Spells, so he's easily removed by everything else.
IOC-110
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Trap Jammer
Counter Trap
You can only activate this card when your opponent activates a Trap Card during the Battle Phase. Negate the activation of the Trap Card and destroy it.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: Since most Trap Cards activate during the Battle Phase, this card is sure to come in handy!
IOC-109
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Robbin' Zombie
Continuous Trap
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.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Use Robbin' Goblin instead.
IOC-108
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info DNA Transplant
Continuous Trap
Declare 1 Attribute when you activate this card. As long as this card remains face-up on the field, the Attribute of all face-up monsters on the field becomes the one you declared.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: I guess this card could work in any deck where an Attribute is required to help that deck out but it's not for every deck.
IOC-107
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Begone, Knave!
Continuous Trap
When a monster inflicts Battle Damage to a player, return the monster to its owner's hand.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: The only thing that'll begone is this card for it won't be used.
IOC-106
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Curse of Darkness
Continuous Trap
Each time a Spell Card is activated, the controller of that Spell Card takes 1000 points of damage.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: The fact that it works on both players really brings this card's playability down. Don't use this card.
IOC-105
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Self-Destruct Button
Normal Trap
You can only activate this card when your Life Points are lower than your opponent's Life Points and the difference is 7000 points or more. Both player's Life Points become 0.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: What hurts this card is that the difference in both players' Life Points must be at least 7000, which isn't very likely at all and even if the case occurs, it can easily be negated.
IOC-104
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info A Hero Emerges
Normal Trap
When your opponent declares an attack, he/she randomly selects 1 card from your hand. If it is a Monster Card, Special Summon it on your side of the field. If not, send it to the Graveyard.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: A very situational card. In most cases, you're not going to get a monster and even if you do, it might be one you can't Special Summon, which makes this card even worse.
IOC-103
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Compulsory Evacuation Device
Normal Trap
Return 1 monster on the field to its owner's hand.
RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: Return a monster your opponent has with difficult summoning requirements or one that needed tributes back to the hand!

Normal Trap
Switch the opponent's Spell Card effect that specifically designates 1 Spell or Trap Card as a target to another correct target.

IOC-101
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Destruction Ring
Normal Trap
Destroy 1 face-up monster on your side of the field to inflict 1000 points of damage to both players' Life Points.
RARE

Card Info Jade Insect Whistle
Normal Spell
Your opponent selects 1 Insect-Type Monster from his/her Deck. After shuffling the Deck, place the card on top of the Deck.

Comments: Somewhat useful when you've flipped the Parasite Paracide card into your opponent's deck but not much else.
IOC-099
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Earth Chant
Ritual Spell
This card is used to Ritual Summon any EARTH monster. You must also offer monsters from the field or your hand whose total Level Stars equal the Level Stars of the Ritual Monster you are attempting to Ritual Summon.

Comments: With so few decent EARTH Ritual Monsters out there, this no need for this card.
IOC-098
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Multiplication of Ants
Normal Spell
Offer 1 Insect-Type Monster on your side of the field as a Tribute. Special Summon 2 "Army Ant Tokens" (Insect-Type/EARTH/4 Stars/ATK 500/DEF 1200) on your side of the field. The tokens cannot be used as a Tribute for a Tribute Summon.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: The ants don't multiply very quickly and stop and die out when your opponent's Monsters destroy them. Don't use this card.
IOC-097
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Ultra Evolution Pill
Normal Spell
Offer 1 Reptile-Type monster on your side of the field as a Tribute. Special Summon 1 Dinosaur-Type Monster from your hand.

IOC-096
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Salvage
Normal Spell
Add 2 WATER monsters with an ATK of 1500 or less each in your Graveyard to your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Okay for WATER decks but terrible elsewhere.
IOC-095
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Dedication through Light and Darkness
Quick-Play Spell
You can only activate this card by offering "Dark Magician" on your side of the field as a Tribute. Select 1 "Dark Magician of Chaos" from your hand, your Graveyard or your Deck and Special Summon it.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: The problem is you need Dark Magician, which virtually no one uses, which is pretty sad considering this card's rarity.
IOC-094
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Dimension Fusion
Normal Spell
Pay 2000 Life Points. Both players Special Summon as many of their monsters as possible that have been removed from play.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It costs you 2000 Life Points to bring back all of your RFG Monsters but all your opponent needs is Mirror Force or Bottomless and most (if not all) of your monsters are gone.
IOC-093
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Smashing Ground
Normal Spell
Destroy 1 monster with the highest DEF on your opponent's side of the field.
COMMON
Rating: 2

IOC-092
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Stray Lambs
Normal Spell
When you activate this card, you cannot Normal Summon, Flip Summon or Special Summon during this turn. Special Summon 2 "Lamb Tokens" (Beast-Type/EARTH/1 Star/ATK 0/DEF 0) in Defense Position on your side of the field.

Comments: Use Scapegoat instead.
IOC-091
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Gryphon's Feather Duster
Normal Spell
Destroy all Spell and Trap Cards on your side of the field. Increase your Life Points by the number of destroyed cards x500 points.
COMMON

Comments: It's hardly worth it to use this card when you have useless Spell and Trap Cards out.
IOC-090
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Ryu Kokki
DARK

If a monster that battles with this monster is a Warrior or Spellcaster-Type monster, destroy that monster at the end of the Damage-Step.

IOC-088
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands
LIGHT
/ Fairy / Level 4 / ATK 1400 / DEF 1000
When this card is Normal Summoned or Flip Summoned, you can select 1 Ritual Monster Card or 1 Ritual Spell Card from your Deck and add it to your hand.

IOC-087
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Guardian Angel Joan
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 7 / ATK 2800 / DEF 2000
When this card destroys a monster and sends it to the Graveyard as a result of battle, increase your Life Points by an amount equal to the original ATK of the destroyed monster.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: 2800 ATK isn't too bad in Fairy decks because with Luminous Spark, she can take out Chaos Emperor Dragon and give your Life Points a major boost but needing 2 tributes for her stats leave her a 2/5.
IOC-086
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Mataza the Zapper
DARK
/ Warrior / Level 3 / ATK 1300 / DEF 800
This monster can attack twice during the same Battle Phase. As long as this card remains face-up on the field, control of this card cannot switch.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: He can attack twice, and with a small boost, put quite the hurt on your opponent's Life Points, especially since your opponent can't steal him with anything but his stats are pretty poor.
IOC-085
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Cannonball Spear Shellfish
WATER / Fish / Level 2 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1000
As long as 'Umi' remains face-up on the field, this card is unaffected by any Spell Cards.

IOC-084
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Orca Mega-Fortress of Darkness
WATER
/ Sea Serpent / Level 5 / ATK 2100 / DEF 1200
Offer 1 "Torpedo Fish" on your side of the field as a Tribute to destroy 1 monster on the field. Offer 1 "Cannonball Spear Shellfish" on your side of the field as a Tribute to destroy 1 Spell or Trap Card on the field.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: With A Legendary Ocean, you'll be able to summon it without tributes and with its "friends" you can start destroying your opponent's cards but odds are they won't be in your hand to make this card useful.
IOC-083
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Levia-Dragon - Daedalus
WATER / Sea Serpent / Level 7 / ATK 2600 / DEF 1500
Send 'Umi' on your side of the field to the Graveyard to destroy all cards on the field except this card.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: With it's partner A Legendary Ocean, it becomes a Level 6 2800 ATK monster and only needs one tribute! Plus its effect clears the field for its own direct attack just by sending Umi to the Graveyard!
IOC-082
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Torpedo Fish
WATER
/ Fish / Level 3 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1000
As long as 'Umi' remains face-up on the field, this card is unaffected by any Spell Cards.

WATER / Machine / Level 4 / ATK 1500 / DEF 1200
As long as 'Umi' remains face-up on the field, this card can attack your opponent's Life Points directly.

IOC-080
Card Type: Effect Monster

WIND
/ Insect / Level 6 / ATK 1900 / DEF 1200
As long as this card remains face-up on the field, battle positions of all face-up Insect-Type monsters on your opponent's side of the field are changed into Attack Position. Each time this card destroys an Insect-Type monster in battle, increase the ATK of this card by 500 points.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Its stats aren't impressive for the tribute but since she can be combined with DNA Surgery to force your opponent's weaker monsters to Attack Mode, she can then become quite the powerhouse.
IOC-079
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Skull-Mark Ladybug
EARTH / Insect / Level 4 / ATK 500 / DEF 1500
When this card is sent to the Graveyard, increase your Life Points by 1000 points.

IOC-078
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Pinch Hopper
EARTH

When this card on your side of the field is sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 Insect-Type Monster from your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: In most cases, you're going to want to tribute this card to a) play a better monster and b) use its effect for yet another monster but both monsters are likely to be Bottomless Trap Holed by your opponent.
IOC-077
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Prickle Fairy
EARTH / Plant / Level 4 / ATK 300 / DEF 2000
Your opponent cannot attack Insect-Type monsters unless he/she destroys this card first. The Battle Position of a monster that battles with this card is changed to Defense Position at the end of the Damage Step.
COMMON

Comments: 2000 DEF grants this card a 2-star rating and a chance to be somewhat playable.
IOC-076
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Anti-Aircraft Flower
EARTH
/ Plant / Level 3 / ATK 0 / DEF 1600
Offer 1 Insect-Type monster on your side of the field as a Tribute to inflict 800 points of damage to your opponent's Life Points.

Rating: 1
Comments: I'm not sure that an aircraft would land on this flower anyway with its weak DEF and lack of any sort of ATK.
IOC-075
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Black Tyranno
EARTH / Dinosaur / Level 7 / ATK 2600 / DEF 1800
If the only cards on your opponent's side of the field are Defense Position Monster Cards, this card can attack your opponent's Life Points directly.

Comments: This dino will quickly become extinct when bigger and better dinos hit the field and his effect is the only reason for not giving him 1/5.
IOC-074
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Hyper Hammerhead
EARTH
/ Dinosaur / Level 4 / ATK 1500 / DEF 1200
When this monster battles an opponent's monster, if the opponent's monster is not destroyed as a result of battle, the opponent's monster is returned to its owner's hand at the end of the Damage Step.

IOC-072
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Balloon Lizard
EARTH

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.

Comments: 1900 DEF stops attacks from even Gemini Elf and the MFC Luster Dragon but GAF and GO can knock it down with ease.
IOC-071
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Don Turtle
WATER / Reptile / Level 3 / ATK 1100 / DEF 1200
When this card is Normal Summoned or Flip Summoned successfully, you can Special Summon any number of "Don Turtle(s)" from your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: This is a turtle that you'd find dead in the road or in this case, the Graveyard or more likely a trash can because he isn't wanted by anyone.
IOC-070
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Enraged Battle Ox
EARTH
/ Beast-Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 1000
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.

You can flip this card into face-down Defense Position once per turn during your Main Phase. When this card is Flip Summoned successfully, inflict 1000 points of damage to your opponent's Life Points.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: With only 1700 DEF, he's not going to likely last one turn and is easy prey after the first flip up to face down.
IOC-067
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Manticore of Darkness
FIRE / Beast-Warrior / Level 6 / ATK 2300 / DEF 1000
During the End Phase of the turn this card is sent to the Graveyard, send 1 Beast, Beast-Warrior, or Winged Beast-Type Monster Card from your hand or your side of the field to the Graveyard to Special Summon this card from the Graveyard.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2

IOC-066
Card Type: Effect Monster

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.

IOC-065
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Dark Magician of Chaos
DARK / Spellcaster / Level 8 / ATK 2800 / DEF 2600
When this card is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned successfully, you can add 1 Spell Card from your Graveyard to your hand. A monster that is destroyed by this monster as a result of battle is removed from play instead of going to the Graveyard. When this card is destroyed or removed from the field, it is removed from play.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: Had the big Spell Cards Monster Reborn etc not been banned, I'd certainly rate this card higher but with only 2800 ATK and a limited number of Spells to retrieve, he receives a 3/5.
IOC-064
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Molten Zombie
FIRE
/ Zombie / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 400
When this card is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, the controller of this card draws 1 card.

When this card is destroyed and sent from the field to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 Pyro-Type Monster from your hand.

FIRE / Pyro / Level 4 / ATK 1850 / DEF 0
A wicked wooden spirit now burning in flames. Its fire attack is powerful, but it will soon be nothing but ashes.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: With 1850 ATK, it's enough to destroy X-Head Cannon, La Jinn and Dark Blade! That 0 DEF won't help it in Defense Mode, though.

You can only activate this card if there are 30 or more cards in your Graveyard. Inflict 3000 points of damage to your opponent's Life Points.

Each time a card is removed from play, the controller of this card increases his/her Life Points by 500 points.
