LVAL-EN019
Sylvan Guardioak
EARTH / Plant / Level 6 / ATK 2400 / DEF 1500
Once per turn: You can choose a number from 1 to 3, then excavate that many cards from the top of your Deck, send any excavated Plant-Type monsters to the Graveyard, also place the other cards on the bottom of your Deck in any order. If this card is excavated from the Deck and sent to the Graveyard by a card effect: You can target 1 other Plant-Type monster in your Graveyard; place that target on top of your Deck.

Comments: Same as LVAL-EN018's comments.
LVAL-EN018
Sylvan Flowerknight
EARTH / Plant / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1000
When this card is Normal Summoned: You can excavate the top card of your Deck, and if it is a Plant-Type monster, send it to the Graveyard. Otherwise, place it on the bottom of your Deck.

SUPER RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: A solid beatstick for whatever Deck you choose!
LVAL-EN017
Sylvan Marshalleaf
WATER / Plant / Level 3 / ATK 1500 / DEF 1200
When this card is Normal Summoned: You can choose either 1 or 2, then excavate that many cards from the top of your Deck, send any excavated Plant-Type monsters to the Graveyard, also place the other cards on the bottom of your Deck in any order. If this card is excavated from the Deck and sent to the Graveyard by a card effect: You can target 1 monster on the field; destroy that target.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It has the same reliability as its friends, needing to be excavated and sent to the Graveyard just to do a minor thing.
LVAL-EN016
Sylvan Komushroomo
FIRE / Plant / Level 2 / ATK 100 / DEF 2000
When this card is flipped face-up: You can choose a number from 1 to 5, then excavate that many cards from the top of your Deck, send any excavated Plant-Type monsters to the Graveyard, also place the other cards on the bottom of your Deck in any order. If this card is excavated from the Deck and sent to the Graveyard by a card effect: You can target 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field; destroy that target.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: 2000 DEF ensures it won't likely be destroyed in the first attack and therefore will activate 1 or more of its effects but those effects are sub-par at best.
LVAL-EN015
Sylvan Peaskeeper
WIND / Plant / Level 1 / ATK 400 / DEF 100
When this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can excavate the top card of your Deck, and if it is a Plant-Type monster, send it to the Graveyard. Otherwise, place it on the bottom of your Deck. If this card is excavated from the Deck and sent to the Graveyard by a card effect: You can target 1 Level 4 or lower Plant-Type monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target. You can only use this effect of "Sylvan Peaskeeper" once per turn.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Bit of a gamble to use the effect but since the archtype likes to send its friends to Graveyard for retrieval later, it might help you out by the time its effect is activated.
LVAL-EN014
Gorgonic Cerberus
DARK / Rock / Level 3 / ATK 1300 / DEF 300
When this card is Normal Summoned: You can make all Rock-Type monsters you control become Level 3.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Doesn't matter whether all the Rock-Type monsters you have are Gorgonic monsters but he won't do anything for you if Flip or Special Summoned.
LVAL-EN013
Gorgonic Ghoul
DARK / Rock / Level 1 / ATK 100 / DEF 100
If you control a "Gorgonic Ghoul": You can pay 300 Life Points; Special Summon this card from your hand. You can use the effect of "Gorgonic Ghoul" up to twice per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: This is just a poorer version of Ancient Gear's effect, which is not only free but allows for combos with Machine Duplication and Magnet Circle LV2.
LVAL-EN012
Gorgonic Gargoyle
DARK / Rock / Level 3 / ATK 1000 / DEF 800
When you Normal Summon a Rock-Type monster: You can Special Summon this card from your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: You could get a Rank 3 Xyz Summon out of this but you could also do it with Marauding Captain, whom is much more laid back on what you can Special Summon, has bonus protection for Warriors and is stronger.
LVAL-EN011
Gorgonic Golem
DARK / Rock / Level 3 / ATK 1200 / DEF 600
When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard: The ATK of the monster that destroyed it becomes 0. You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 1 Set Spell/Trap Card your opponent controls; that target cannot be activated this turn. Your opponent cannot activate the targeted card in response to this effect's activation.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It comes with some somewhat decent effects like making the ATK of the monster responsible for its destruction in battle 0 and stopping 1 Spell or Trap Card from being activated this turn or activated in response to the effect but it has to get taken out in battle for the better part of the effect to resolve and must be banished from your Graveyard to activate the second part.
LVAL-EN010
Deep-Space Cruiser IX
LIGHT / Machine / Level 9 / ATK 900 / DEF 900
You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by sending 1 other Machine-Type monster from your hand to the Graveyard.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Also easy to Special Summon by its effect but is also very weak.
LVAL-EN009
Chronomaly Winged Sphinx
EARTH / Rock / Level 5 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1900
When this card is Normal Summoned: You can target 1 Level 5 "Chronomaly" monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target. You cannot Special Summon monsters the turn you activate this effect, except "Chronomaly" monsters.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It's a bit more restrictive on what it can bring back or what you can bring out afterward and how it has to be Summoned to achieve that effect, not to mention it's also pretty weak for its Level but the archtype isn't the worst of the bunch.
LVAL-EN008
Chronomaly Moai Carrier
EARTH / Rock / Level 5 / ATK 900 / DEF 1800
If your opponent controls a card and you control no cards, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand).
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Not hard to Special Summon it by its effect but it's pretty weak for a Level 5 monster so use it for something or you'll most likely lose it.
LVAL-EN007
Photon Chargeman
LIGHT / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1000
Once per turn: You can make this card's ATK become double its original ATK, until your next Standby Phase. This card cannot attack the turn you activate this effect. 
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Even if your purpose is to double its ATK for summoning Galaxy Eyes or even Overly Booster, there are monsters that already have 2000 ATK and can attack right away without losing that boost so use one of them instead.  
LVAL-EN006
Overlay Booster
LIGHT / Warrior / Level 5 / ATK 2000 / DEF 0
If you control a monster with 2000 or more ATK, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand) in face-up Defense Position. You can only Special Summon "Overlay Booster" once per turn this way. During your turn, except the turn this card was sent to the Graveyard: You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 1 face-up Xyz Monster you control that has Xyz Material; it gains 500 ATK for each Xyz Material attached to it.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Unlike Sentinel, this guy has a few combos up his sleeve as he's not specific to any ATK he needs to see before being Special Summoned as long as it's at least 2000 and while he comes out his way in Defense Mode and has no DEF, he can power up your Xyz Monster at least 500 ATK.
LVAL-EN005
Overlay Sentinel
LIGHT / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 2000 / DEF 0
Cannot be Special Summoned. When this card is Normal Summoned: Change this card to Defense Position. If you control a face-up Xyz Monster that has Xyz Material: You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 1 monster your opponent controls; it loses 500 ATK for each Xyz Material attached to a monster you control.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It's not your typical bad Level 4 beatstick like Goblin Attack Force as you can weaken an opponent's monster by (in most cases) up to 1500 ATK but he doesn't have any DEF, cannot be Special Summoned and is changed to Defense Mode when Normal Summoned.
LVAL-EN004
Rainbow Kuriboh
LIGHT / Fiend / Level 1 / ATK 100 / DEF 100
You can only activate each effect of "Rainbow Kuriboh" once per turn.
● When an opponent's monster declares an attack: You can target that monster; equip this card from your hand to that target. It cannot attack.
● When an opponent's monster declares a direct attack: You can Special Summon this card from your Graveyard. If Summoned this way, banish this card when it leaves the field.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: The best it can do is rip-off already more playable cards and the sad thing is, it's a higher rarity than those cards but it's rating is as low as it gets.
LVAL-EN003
Gillagillancer
EARTH / Warrior / Level 6 / ATK 2200 / DEF 800
If your opponent controls a monster and you control no monsters, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). During each End Phase: You take 500 damage. This card must be face-up on the field to activate and to resolve this effect.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: He's already failed to pose as Cyber Dragon and doesn't care how he's Summoned as he'll deal you 500 damage during each players' End Phase, giving your opponent a quick lead.
LVAL-EN002
ZW - Asura Strike
FIRE / Fairy / Level 4 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1000
You can target 1 "Utopia" monster you control; equip this monster from your hand or your side of the field to that target. It gains 1000 ATK. While this card is equipped to a monster, that monster can attack all monsters your opponent controls once each. You can only control 1 "ZW - Asura Strike".
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: A bit easier to play since you don't have to have it already on the field and it doesn't care what Utopia monster gets it but without the Utopia monster, it doesn't stand a chance.
LVAL-EN001
White Duston
LIGHT / Fiend / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 1000
The proudust of them all.
SHORT PRINT COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: His friends weren't playable and they had effects. Take the effects away and short print the card and you have this guy, an even more pitiful excuse for a card.
LVAL-EN000
Sylvan Bladefender
EARTH / Plant / Level 4 / ATK 1900 / DEF 700
When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard: You can excavate the top card of your Deck, and if it is a Plant-Type monster, send it to the Graveyard. Otherwise, place it on the bottom of your Deck. If this card is excavated from the Deck and sent to the Graveyard by a card effect: You can add this card from your Graveyard to your hand.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 4
Comments: A solid start to the set and the archtype! Not only do we have a 1900 ATK Level 4 beatstick but it has very easy-to-trigger effects and doesn't hurt you if you decide not to play it where it's most functional!
