A Ritual Spell with its own Monster Reborn isn't all that bad, but it's only for Rituals.

(Common)

Rating: 2 out of 5
Support for just about any kind of Summon, but it's still a fair bit of work just to change Levels of monsters.

Ghost Beef
DARK / Pendulum Monster / Level 7 / ATK 2000 / DEF 1000 / Scale 4 and Scale 4

Rating: 1 out of 5
Strong for its Rank, but otherwise bad.

Mr. and Mrs. Wall of Text have arrived, but it's the Scale and DEF that do it for me.

High ATK and no Summon needs. The effects aren't that bad either, though Setting it is a bit tricky.

(Aqua / Flip / Effect)

Really needed more than this for a Secret Rare.

Maximum Crisis (MACR-EN080)
Diamond Duston
TRAP / Normal Trap

Swapping Dustons out for Ojamas would've already made this better by just a tad.

Everything about this makes it the wrong Trap Monster (#95) to use.

Maximum Crisis (MACR-EN066)
