Maximum Crisis
| MACR-EN099 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Onikuji Continuous Trap Once per turn, during your Standby Phase: Your opponent declares 1 card type (Monster, Spell, or Trap). Excavate the top card of your Deck, then if it is that type of card, your opponent draws 1 card. Otherwise, discard 1 random card from their hand. Place the excavated card on the bottom of your Deck. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Either way, you lose out on the gamble because your opponent either draws a free card or they lose a random card from their hand but you get nothing either way. |
| MACR-EN098 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Primal Cry Ritual Spell This card is used to Ritual Summon "Vennu, Bright Bird of Divinity". You must also Tribute monsters from your hand or field whose total Levels equal 8 or more. During your End Phase: You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 1 Ritual Monster in your Graveyard that was sent there from the field this turn; Special Summon it. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | The 2nd effect works on any Ritual Monster sent to the Graveyard that turn but unless that monster has no restraints and was Summoned properly first, that's not going to help you. |
| MACR-EN097 | |
| Card Type: | Ritual Monster |
| Card Info | Vennu, Bright Bird of Divinity LIGHT / Fairy-Type Ritual / Level 8 / ATK 2800 / DEF 2000 You can Ritual Summon this card with "Primal Cry". Once per turn: You can reveal 1 monster in your hand, then target 1 face-up monster on the field; that target's Level becomes equal to the Level the revealed monster had, until the end of this turn. Once per turn, if another monster is Tributed from your hand or field (except during the Damage Step): You can target 1 monster in your Graveyard; add it to your hand. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It can help with Xyz Summons (and Synchro Summons to an extent) but for the most part it won't do you much good on the field. |
| MACR-EN096 | |
| Card Info | Ghost Beef DARK / Beast-Type Pendulum / Level 7 / ATK 2000 / DEF 1000 / Scale 4 Once per turn: You can roll a six-sided die. Until the end of this turn, increase this card's Pendulum Scale by that number (max. 10). The Ghost of Christmas Dinner. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It's getting the low end of the rating because those stats are rather poor for a Level 7 monster and it has a maximum amount its Scale can be raised. |
| MACR-EN095 | |
| Card Info | Mild Turkey FIRE / Winged Beast-Type Pendulum / Level 4 / ATK 1000 / DEF 2000 / Scale 7 Once per turn: You can roll a six-sided die. Until the end of this turn, reduce this card's Pendulum Scale by that number (min. 1). The taste of victory will bowl you over. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It's meant to work with Ghost Beef in that they alter their Scales to increase your options for Pendulum Summoning but both cards aren't any better than Bujin Hiruko. |
| MACR-EN094 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Artifact Vajra LIGHT / Fairy / Level 5 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1900 You can Set this card from your hand to your Spell & Trap Zone as a Spell Card. During your opponent's turn, if this Set card in the Spell & Trap Zone is destroyed and sent to your Graveyard: Special Summon it. If this card is Special Summoned during your opponent's turn: Destroy all cards in your Spell & Trap Zones. When an opponent's monster declares a direct attack: You can Special Summon this card from your hand. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Haven't seen any Artifact Decks these days so this guy may be too late to be of use. However, it's not all that bad if the effect works, though that's only if the bottom half of your field benefits from being destroyed or sent to the Grave. |
| MACR-EN093 | |
| Card Type: | Xyz Monster |
| Card Info | Sylvan Princessprite LIGHT / Plant-Type Xyz / Rank 1 / ATK 1800 / DEF 100 2 Level 1 monsters You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; excavate the top card of your Deck, and if it is a Spell/Trap Card, add it to your hand. Otherwise, send it to the Graveyard. You can send 1 other Plant-Type monster from your hand or face-up from your field to the Graveyard, then target 1 "Sylvan" monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it. You can only use each effect of "Sylvan Princessprite" once per turn. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Certain Decks can win both ways with the effect as they rely on cards in the Graveyard, though needing 2 Level 1 monsters for a monster with only 1800 ATK isn't that great. |
| MACR-EN092 | |
| Card Info | Bujin Hiruko LIGHT / Beast-Warrior-Type Pendulum / Level 4 / ATK 1000 / DEF 2000 / Scale 3 You can banish this card in your Pendulum Zone, then target 1 "Bujin" Xyz Monster you control; Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 "Bujin" Xyz Monster with a different name, by using that target as the Xyz Material. (This Special Summon is treated as an Xyz Summon. Xyz Materials attached to it also become Xyz Materials on the Summoned monster.) Imprisoned after a showdown with "Bujin Hirume" over the Sky Throne, this master schemer eventually escaped by manipulating Hirume and creating the sinister "Bujinki Amaterasu", then went on to almost engulf the world in darkness, but was finally defeated by Yamato and his allies. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | The Scale is low enough to use it as a regular Pendulum Monster and it has high enough DEF to ward off most monsters of its Level but it's really not a whole lot better than other Pendulum Monsters like it. |
| MACR-EN091 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Kaiser Sea Snake WATER / Sea Serpent / Level 8 / ATK 2500 / DEF 1000 If your opponent controls a monster and you control no monsters, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). You can only Special Summon "Kaiser Sea Snake" once per turn this way. When Summoned this way: You can Special Summon 1 Level 8 Sea Serpent-Type monster from your hand or Graveyard, but its ATK and DEF become 0. If this card is Special Summoned, its Level becomes 4 and original ATK becomes 0. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | It looked like it was going to be a better Cyber Dragon until you read the last line of text that takes all of that away. |
| MACR-EN090 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Gift Exchange Normal Spell Both players banish 1 card from their Decks, face-down, and if they do, during the End Phase of this turn, both players add to their hands the card their opponent banished by this effect. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Knowing your opponent, they'll give you a crappy card they can't use at the time and youi'd probably do the same to them, which makes this entire card pointless, especially given how slow it is. |
| MACR-EN089 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | SPYRAL MISSION - Rescue Continuous Trap Destroy this card during your 3rd End Phase after activation. Once per turn: You can target 1 "SPYRAL" monster in your Graveyard; return it to the hand. You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 1 "SPYRAL" monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it. You can only control 1 "SPYRAL MISSION - Rescue". COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Not all SPYRAL cards are useful but some of the monsters are and they'd be good choices with this but the effect only lasts 3 turns and adds the monster to your hand instead of Special Summoning it. |
| MACR-EN088 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | SPYRAL GEAR - Fully Armed Equip Spell Equip only to "SPYRAL Super Agent". It gains 1000 ATK. If it destroys your opponent's monster by battle: You can banish both the opponent's destroyed monster and 1 other card your opponent controls. When this face-up card on the field is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 "SPYRAL Super Agent" in your Graveyard; Special Summon it. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | A card that supports an already worthwhile monster by making it even stronger and taking out two threats for the price of one attack. Plus it revives a 2nd copy of Super Agent from your Graveyard once it's destroyed and sent to the Grave. |
| MACR-EN087 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | SPYRAL GEAR - Last Resort EARTH / Machine / Level 4 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1000 You can target 1 "SPYRAL" monster you control; equip this monster from your hand or field to that target. While this card is equipped to a monster by this effect, the equipped monster cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects, also your opponent cannot target it with card effects. Once per turn, if this card is equipped to a monster by this effect: You can send 1 other card you control to the Graveyard; the equipped monster can attack directly this turn. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | The affected monster is safe from any harm including battle or card effects but this guy really doesn't have anything else going for it since its stats are poor. |
| MACR-EN086 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | SPYRAL Sleeper LIGHT / Fiend / Level 8 / ATK 2800 / DEF 1200 Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by banishing 3 "SPYRAL" cards from your Graveyard, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can target 1 "SPYRAL" card you control and up to 2 cards your opponent controls; destroy them. If this card on the field is destroyed by battle or card effect and sent to the Graveyard: Destroy as many cards you control as possible, and if you do, Special Summon 1 "SPYRAL Super Agent" from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Its summoning requirement isn't too steep, needing just 3 SPYRAL cards in your Graveyard to be banished and can get rid of other threats by taking out one of its comrades in the process but unless that's a weak SPYRAL monster, I don't see much of a point in doing so, and even then, it seems like a poor choice. |
| MACR-EN085 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Subterror Final Battle Normal Trap Activate 1 of these effects, also, after that, Set this card face-down instead of sending it to the Graveyard. ● Change 1 Set "Subterror" monster on the field to face-up Attack or Defense Position. ● Change 1 face-up "Subterror" monster on the field to face-down Defense Position. ● ATK and DEF of 1 "Subterror" monster on the field become equal to its combined original ATK and DEF until the end of this turn. ● This turn, activated effects of "Subterror" cards cannot be negated. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | A reusable Subterror support card is certainly a step in the right direction but it's probably too little too late because there won't be any more cards for them to use in the future. |
| MACR-EN084 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Subterror Behemoth Speleogeist EARTH / Fiend-Type Flip / Level 11 / ATK 3000 / DEF 1400 FLIP: You can target 1 monster on the field; change it to face-up Attack Position if it is in Defense Position, also change its ATK to 0. You can only use this effect of "Subterror Behemoth Speleogeist" once per turn. When a face-up monster you control is flipped face-down, if you control no face-up monsters: You can Special Summon this card from your hand in Defense Position. Once per turn: You can change this card to face-down Defense Position. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | At least it doesn't have a summoning requirement like most Level 11 monsters do but those stats are kinda underwhelming for being such a high-Level monster and its effects aren't much better. |
| MACR-EN083 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Subterror Behemoth Phospheroglacier EARTH / Aqua-Type Flip / Level 8 / ATK 2600 / DEF 2500 FLIP: You can send 1 card from your Deck to the Graveyard. You can only use this effect of "Subterror Behemoth Phospheroglacier" once per turn. When a face-up monster you control is flipped face-down, if you control no face-up monsters: You can Special Summon this card from your hand in Defense Position. Once per turn: You can change this card to face-down Defense Position. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | A Common Subterror monster this strong is pretty rare and since they're ending the support for them in this set, it's likely to be one of the few. However, it's pretty easy to see why given the effects are both sub-par as are its stats. |
| MACR-EN082 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Subterror Fiendess EARTH / Spellcaster / Level 1 / ATK 800 / DEF 500 During either player's turn, when your opponent activates a card or effect: You can send this card from your hand or field to the Graveyard, then target 1 "Subterror" monster you control; negate the activation, then change the targeted monster to face-down Defense Position. You can target 1 face-up monster you control; change it to face-down Defense Position, and if you do, Special Summon 1 "Subterror" monster from your hand or Graveyard, in face-up or face-down Defense Position. You can only use each effect of "Subterror Fiendess" once per turn. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Being as weak as it is, it won't do you any good on the field so using its effect to reset a Subterror monster's effect isn't all that bad, though its DEF and other info will be still easily remembered by your opponent. The other effect isn't much better. |
| MACR-EN081 | |
| Card Type: | Xyz Monster |
| Card Info | Tornado Dragon WIND / Wyrm-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK 2100 / DEF 2000 2 Level 4 monsters Once per turn, during either player’s turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field; destroy it. SECRET RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Not a whole lot better than Unending Nightmare but the only thing the effect costs you is an Xyz Material, which it doesn't have many of. Its ATK and DEF aren't that good either. |
| MACR-EN080 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Diamond Duston Normal Trap When a card(s) on the field is destroyed by battle or card effect: Special Summon "Duston" monsters from your Deck to anywhere on the field, equal to the number of those destroyed cards. If this card is in your Graveyard: You can banish 1 "Duston" monster from your Graveyard; Special Summon this card in Defense Position as a Normal Monster (Fiend-Type/DARK/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 1000) to your opponent's field. (This card is NOT treated as a Trap Card.) This effect can only be used once while this card is in the Graveyard. If Summoned this way, it cannot be Tributed, or be used as Material for a Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz Summon. SHORT PRINT COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Duston monsters proved to me that they're not worth being so hard to get as they're just a mediocre means of stalling when you don't have a better answer to your opponent's strategy and this only adds to that poor choice. |
| MACR-EN079 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Unending Nightmare Continuous Trap You can pay 1000 LP, then target 1 face-up Spell/Trap Card on the field; destroy it. You can only activate this effect of "Unending Nightmare" once per Chain. SECRET RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Each use of the effect costs you 1000 LP and that's pretty bad when you'll be left without much left in the end. |
| MACR-EN078 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Waterfall of Dragon Souls Normal Trap Activate 1 of these effects; ● Add 1 Wyrm-Type monster from your Deck to your hand. ● Send any number of Wyrm-Type monsters from your hand and/or face-up from your field to the Graveyard; draw cards equal to the number of monsters you sent to the Graveyard +1. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It has two almost-decent effects to pick from and there are some decent Wyrm monsters out there but there aren't enough good ones to make this card get a high rating. |
| MACR-EN077 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Zefra War Normal Trap Target 1 other "Zefra" card you control and 1 card your opponent controls; destroy them. If you have 2 "Zefra" cards in your Pendulum Zones, you can activate this card from your hand. You can only activate 1 "Zefra War" per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Another example where being able to activate it from your hand isn't good enough to warrant using the card because this time you need both your Pendulum Zones to be filled with a Zefra card. That's not worth the destruction of a card on each side of the field. |
| MACR-EN076 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Dinomist Howling Continuous Trap When this card is activated: You can place 1 or 2 "Dinomist" Pendulum Monster(s) from your Deck in your Pendulum Zone, but you cannot Pendulum Summon monsters until the end of the next turn, except "Dinomist" monsters (even if this card leaves the field). Once per turn, if this card is already face-up in your Spell & Trap Zone: You can Tribute 1 "Dinomist" monster, then target 1 card your opponent controls; return it to the hand. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | What good is setting up your Pendulum Scale to Pendulum Summon if you can't Pendulum Summon normally? Plus Dinomist monsters generally have mediocre Scales anyway. The last effect is pretty bad too. |
| MACR-EN075 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Prologue of the Destruction Swordsman Normal Trap Send 1 "Destruction Sword" card and 1 "Buster Blader" monster from your Deck to the Graveyard, except "Prologue of the Destruction Swordsman"; Special Summon 1 "Buster Dragon" from your Extra Deck or Graveyard, but destroy it during the End Phase of the next turn. You can banish this card from your Graveyard; this turn, "Destruction Sword" cards you control cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects. You can only activate 1 "Prologue of the Destruction Swordsman" per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | It can bypass Buster Dragon's requirements or just revives it anyway but its not a very good card and you don't keep it that long anyway. Plus, protecting cards like the Destruction Sword cards is also pretty poor given how specific those cards are. |
| MACR-EN074 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Phantasm Spiral Assault Normal Trap Target 1 "Phantasm Spiral Dragon" you control; when it destroys 3 Effect Monsters your opponent controls, by battle, while equipped with 3 or more "Phantasm Spiral" Equip Spell Cards with different names, you win the Duel. If "Umi" is on the field, you can activate this card from your hand. If a Normal Monster(s) you control would be destroyed by battle or card effect, you can banish this card from your Graveyard instead. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Being restrained to a specific poor excuse of a monster and having such a strict activation needs to claim the automatic victory, there really isn't a good reason to run this card. |
| MACR-EN073 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Phantasm Spiral Power Normal Trap If all monsters you control are Normal Monsters (min. 1): Target 1 Effect Monster your opponent controls; until the end of this turn, it loses 1000 ATK and DEF, also it has its effects negated. If "Umi" is on the field, you can activate this card from your hand. You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 1 Normal Monster you control; equip 1 "Phantasm Spiral" Equip Spell Card from your hand or Graveyard to that Normal Monster. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | This one is so bad that not even the ability to activate it from your hand is good enough because the requirements for the effect are higher than other cards that could drain that amount of ATK or more and are more versatile. |
| MACR-EN072 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Phantasm Spiral Battle Normal Trap If all monsters you control are Normal Monsters (min. 1): Target 1 card your opponent controls; destroy it. If "Umi" is on the field, you can activate this card from your hand. You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 1 Normal Monster you control; equip that Normal Monster with all "Phantasm Spiral" Equip Spell Cards you control that can equip to it. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Being able to activate it from the hand isn't that bad with Umi having more than one alias but it's restrained to Normal Monsters. |
| MACR-EN071 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Zoodiac Gathering Continuous Trap If a "Zoodiac" Xyz Monster you control would detach its Xyz Material(s) to activate an effect, you can detach Xyz Material(s) from another Xyz Monster(s) you control instead. You can only use this effect of "Zoodiac Gathering" once per turn. You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 2 "Zoodiac" Xyz Monsters you control; attach 1 of those monsters to the other monster as Xyz Material. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Since Zoodiac Xyz Monsters seem to like having as few Xyz Materials as possible and have no regard for their ATK and DEF, they'd probably need a card like this to conserve their precious Xyz Materials for a more important situation but this still doesn't add much to their playability. |
| MACR-EN070 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | True Draco Apocalypse Continuous Trap If this card is sent from the Spell & Trap Zone to the Graveyard: You can target 1 monster on the field; destroy it. You cannot activate the following effects of "True Draco Apocalypse" in the same Chain. ● You can target 1 other "True Draco" or "True King" card you control; destroy it, and if you do, the ATK and DEF of all face-up monsters your opponent controls become half their current ATK and DEF (even if this card leaves the field). ● During your opponent's Main Phase, you can: Immediately after this effect resolves, Tribute Summon 1 "True Draco" or "True King" monster face-up. You can only use each effect of "True Draco Apocalypse" once per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | The 2nd bulleted effect is the same as True King's Return and that means less playability for this card as a whole. The other effect isn't great either bit is a slight improvement as is the very first line of text. |
| MACR-EN069 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | True King's Return Continuous Trap If this card is sent from the Spell & Trap Zone to the Graveyard: You can target 1 monster on the field; destroy it. You cannot activate the following effects of "True King's Return" in the same Chain. ● You can target 1 "True Draco" or "True King" monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it in Defense Position, also for the rest of this turn, you cannot Special Summon. ● During your opponent's Main Phase, you can: Immediately after this effect resolves, Tribute Summon 1 "True Draco" or "True King" monster face-up. You can only use each effect of "True King's Return" once per turn. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | For an Ultra Rare, it's rather situational, even with other True Dracos because the 1st bulleted effect locks you out of any Special Summons that turn and the 2nd effect will lock you out of many responses if your Tribute Summon fails. |
| MACR-EN068 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Dark Contract with the Eternal Darkness Continuous Trap While you have 2 "D/D" cards in your Pendulum Zones, your opponent cannot target monsters on the field with Spell/Trap effects, Tribute them for a Tribute Summon, nor use them as Materials for a Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz Summon. Once per turn, during your Standby Phase: Take 1000 damage. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It's reduced to D/D Decks but using their Pendulum Effects allows this to keep your monsters safe from most harmful methods for some small self-inflicted damage each turn. |
| MACR-EN067 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | The Phantom Knights of Wrong Magnetring Normal Trap When an opponent's monster declares an attack: Negate that attack, then Special Summon this card in Attack Position as an Effect Monster (Warrior-Type/DARK/Level 2/ATK 0/DEF 0) with the following effect. (This card is NOT treated as a Trap Card.) ● During either player's turn: You can send this card and 1 face-up card you control to the Graveyard (either a "The Phantom Knights" monster or a "Phantom Knights" Continuous Spell/Trap Card); draw 2 cards. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Negating an attack only to present your opponent with a new attack target that will likely be weaker than any other monster you have out, then ditching it and another card to draw twice is pretty poor as a whole. |
| MACR-EN066 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | The Phantom Knights of Lost Vambrace Normal Trap Target 1 face-up monster on the field; if that target is still face-up on the field, "The Phantom Knights" monsters you control cannot be destroyed by battle, also that target loses 600 ATK, also its Level becomes 2. These effects last until the end of this turn. Then, Special Summon this card in Defense Position as a Normal Monster (Warrior-Type/DARK/Level 2/ATK 600/DEF 0). (This card is NOT treated as a Trap Card.) COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | With cards this bad, it's no wonder they're phantom knights. If you want ATK loss without being restrained, go with Darkworld Shackles. |
| MACR-EN065 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Break Away Normal Trap During your opponent's Battle Phase: Send 1 Spell Card from your hand to the Graveyard; end the Battle Phase, then face-up monsters currently on the field have their effects negated until the end of this turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Yes, ditch a Spell Card and render each monster's effect useless, including yours just to end the Battle Phase when Negate Attack does this for free. |
| MACR-EN064 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Set Rotation Quick-Play Spell Set 2 Field Spell Cards with different names from your Deck on the field (1 on your field, and 1 on your opponent's field). While either of those cards remain Set on the field, neither player can activate or Set other Field Spell Cards. SHORT PRINT COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Whether you use this card or implement a format with the same name, it won't help you either way because both end up hurting you in the end. |
| MACR-EN063 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Duelist Alliance Normal Spell If there is a card in the Pendulum Zone: Add 1 "Pendulum" Pendulum Monster or "Pendulum" Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand. You can only activate 1 "Duelist Alliance" per turn. SECRET RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Only a handful of Pendulum Monsters meet this card's requirements but if it wasn't that specific, I could see why it's so rare but not as it is. |
| MACR-EN062 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | B.E.F. Zelos Field Spell When this card is activated: You can add 1 "Boss Rush" from your Deck to your hand. All "B.E.S." monsters you control gain 500 ATK and DEF, your opponent cannot target them with card effects, and they cannot be destroyed by your opponent's card effects. Once per turn: You can Special Summon 1 "B.E.S." monster from your hand. If a "B.E.S." monster(s) is Normal or Special Summoned to your field: Place 1 counter on it. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | It's nice in theory but since B.E.S. monsters self-destruct not long after they hit the field, it's not going to be useful. |
| MACR-EN061 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Zefra Providence Normal Spell Add 1 "Zefra" card from your Deck to your hand, except "Zefra Providence". If a "Zefra" card(s) you control would be destroyed, except the turn this card was sent to the Graveyard, you can banish this card from your Graveyard instead. You can only activate 1 "Zefra Providence" per turn. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It's not very specific for what it searches, allowing for more plays than other cards of the archetype but being still specific to Zefras makes this card's rating stay at 2. |
| MACR-EN060 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Bug Signal Quick-Play Spell Target 1 Insect-Type Xyz Monster you control; Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 Insect-Type monster that is 2 Ranks higher or lower than that monster you control, by using it as the Xyz Material. (This Special Summon is treated as an Xyz Summon. Xyz Materials attached to that target also become Xyz Materials on the Summoned monster.) You can only activate 1 "Bug Signal" per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It could even work on the Inzektor Xyz Monsters but there aren't very many and they haven't proven to me that they're useful. Of course, that doesn't mean we're not going to see others in the future. Plus this is a Quick-Play Spell. |
| MACR-EN059 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |

| Comments: | There are some strong Normal Monsters to use with this but really the only added bonus is setting the opponent's monster up for a future piercing battle damage attack. Additionally, Big Bang Shot adds to the monser's ATK and can be used to hurt your opponent without having to equip it to one of your monsters. |

| Comments: | It's a bit more lenient on how it can be Tribute Summoned but only protects itself from effects that relate to what it was Tribute Summoned with, though one can use Safe Zone for protection too. |

| Card Info | Dreiath III, the True Dracocavalry General EARTH / Wyrm / Level 6 / ATK 2100 / DEF 2800 To Tribute Summon this card face-up, you can Tribute a Continuous Spell/Trap Card you control, instead of a monster. Your opponent cannot target face-up "True Draco" or "True King" monsters on the field with card effects, except this one, also they cannot be destroyed by your opponent's card effects. If this face-up Tribute Summoned monster leaves the field: You can Special Summon 1 "True Draco" or "True King" monster from your Deck in Defense Position. ULTRA RARE |

| Comments: | We were doing so well with these guys but this guy wrecks it for everyone by being less useful. You'd be better of Setting this guy since it has higher DEF and will protect your LP from most monsters' attacks. |

| Card Info | Dinomight Knight, the True Dracofighter WATER / Wyrm / Level 6 / ATK 2500 / DEF 1200 To Tribute Summon this card face-up, you can Tribute a Continuous Spell/Trap Card you control, instead of a monster. Once per turn, during either player's turn, when your opponent activates a card or effect while you control this Tribute Summoned monster: You can take 1 "True Draco" or "True King" Continuous Trap Card from your Deck, and either activate it or add it to your hand. ULTRA RARE |

| Comments: | Now we're up to the strength of Summoned Skull, another worthwhile monster but this guy adds a bit more by helping you perform an additional Tribute Summon later. |

Once per turn, during either player's turn, when your opponent activates a card or effect while you control this Tribute Summoned monster: You can take 1 "True Draco" or "True King" Continuous Spell Card from your Deck, and either activate it or add it to your hand. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 4 |
| Comments: | As close to a Monarch as one can get, including playability as its stats are certainly worth the effort it takes ti get it out and it's a FIRE monster so it has uses there too. Plus the other effect gets you set up for a 2nd Tribute Summon later. |

| Card Info | Majesty Maiden, the True Dracocaster WIND / Wyrm / Level 5 / ATK 2300 / DEF 1500 To Tribute Summon this card face-up, you can Tribute a Continuous Spell/Trap Card you control, instead of a monster. Once per turn, during either player's turn, when your opponent activates a card or effect while you control this Tribute Summoned monster: You can add 1 "True Draco" or "True King" monster from your Deck to your hand. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | You don't have to Tribute Summon it normally but doing so by its effect requires a Continuous Spell/Trap you have out, preferably one you can't use or don't need at the moment. Aside from that, it's not much to work with. |

| Card Info | Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm DARK / Dragon-Type Pendulum / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1200 / Scale 5 Once per turn, if you control no monsters: You can place 1 "Supreme King Gate" Pendulum Monster from your Deck in your Pendulum Zone, also you cannot Pendulum Summon monsters for the rest of this turn, except DARK monsters. If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add 1 "Supreme King Gate" Pendulum Monster from your Deck to your hand. If this card is in your Graveyard and you control no monsters: You can Special Summon this card. You can only use each monster effect of "Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm" once per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | It's a regular Beatstick on its own or using its effect can help you swarm the field, though is best suited with DARK monsters. |
| MACR-EN018 | |
| Card Info | Supreme King Gate Infinity DARK / Fiend-Type Pendulum / Level 7 / ATK 0 / DEF 0 / Scale 13 If you control a monster, you cannot Pendulum Summon. This effect cannot be negated. Once per turn, if you control "Supreme King Z-ARC": You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; gain LP equal to its ATK. Once per turn: You can target 1 other face-up card you control; destroy both it and this card, and if you do, Special Summon 1 Dragon-Type Xyz or Pendulum Monster from your Extra Deck, but its ATK and DEF become 0, it has its effects negated, also it cannot be used as a Material for a Synchro or Xyz Summon. If this card in the Monster Zone is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can place this card in your Pendulum Zone. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | Might as well raise the other end of the Scale as well but while it'll jump to the Pendulum Zone on your field once it's destroyed, you're only able to Pendulum Summon with it if you don't control any monsters. However, that's just a minor setback and can easily be achieved. |
| MACR-EN017 | |
| Card Info | Supreme King Gate Zero DARK / Fiend-Type Pendulum / Level 7 / ATK 0 / DEF 0 / Scale 0 If you control "Supreme King Z-ARC", you take no damage. Once per turn, if you have "Supreme King Gate Infinity" in your other Pendulum Zone: You can destroy both cards in your Pendulum Zones, and if you do, add 1 "Polymerization" Spell Card or "Fusion" Spell Card from your Deck to your hand. Once per turn: You can target 1 other face-up card you control; destroy both it and this card, and if you do, Special Summon 1 Dragon-Type Fusion or Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck, but its ATK and DEF become 0, it has its effects negated, also it cannot be used as a Material for a Synchro or Xyz Summon. If this card in the Monster Zone is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can place this card in your Pendulum Zone. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | Now the options for Pendulum Summoning are higher than ever before and this guy doesn't have any drawbacks for using it without Z-ARC but the effects aren't that good and its ATK and DEF aren't going to let it survive in battle. |

| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Double Resonator FIRE / Fiend-Type Tuner / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 0 If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can target 1 face-up monster on the field; that target is treated as a Tuner this turn. You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 1 Fiend-Type monster you control; that Fiend-Type monster is treated as a Tuner this turn. You can only use this effect of "Double Resonator" once per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Having two Tuner monsters out at the same time doesn't generally do you much good except for Synchro Monsters like Red Nova Dragon. It is still a Tuner monster though and can help you with your other Fiend-Type monster Synchro Summons but is limited to Fiend-Type monsters for the 2nd effect. |

| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | D/D Ghost DARK / Fiend-Type Tuner / Level 2 / ATK 600 / DEF 300 If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 "D/D" monster or "Dark Contract" card in your Graveyard, except "D/D Ghost"; send 1 card from your Deck to the Graveyard with that name. If this card is banished: You can target 1 of your banished "D/D" monsters or "Dark Contract" cards, except "D/D Ghost"; return it to the Graveyard. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | I really don't see a point to this card. It doesn't retrieve the targeted card in the Graveyard, nor the one that is previously banished and its stats are horrible. |

| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Lyrilusc - Turquoise Warbler WIND / Winged Beast / Level 1 / ATK 100 / DEF 100 If you control no monsters, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). If this card is Special Summoned from the hand: You can Special Summon 1 "Lyrilusc" monster from your hand or Graveyard. You can only use this effect of "Lyrilusc - Turquoise Warbler" once per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Controlling no monsters is easy early on or even late in the Duel but all Lyrilusc monsters so far are feeble and unable to really do much once on the field. |
| MACR-EN013 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Lyrilusc - Sapphire Swallow WIND / Winged Beast / Level 1 / ATK 100 / DEF 0 If you control a Winged Beast-Type monster: You can Special Summon both this card and 1 Level 1 Winged Beast-Type monster from your hand. You can only use this effect of "Lyrilusc - Sapphire Swallow" once per turn. A WIND Xyz Monster that was Summoned using this card on the field as Xyz Material gains this effect. ● If it is Xyz Summoned: You can target 1 "Lyrilusc" monster in your Graveyard; attach it to this card as Xyz Material. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | A bit less restrained than Cobalt Sparrow, especially with its first effect but the other effects and its stats aren't much better. |
| MACR-EN012 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Lyrilusc - Cobalt Sparrow WIND / Winged Beast / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 100 If this card is Special Summoned: You can add 1 Level 1 Winged Beast-Type monster from your Deck to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Lyrilusc - Cobalt Sparrow" once per turn. A WIND Xyz Monster that was Summoned using this card on the field as Xyz Material gains this effect. ● Your opponent cannot target this card with card effects. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Rank 1 Xyz Monsters haven't been all that good so far and with this being a new archetype, it's not off to a very good start. |

| Card Info | Predaplant Cordyceps DARK / Plant / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 0 During your Standby Phase: You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 2 Level 4 or lower "Predaplant" monsters in your Graveyard; Special Summon them, also, for the rest of this turn, you cannot Special Summon monsters, except Fusion Monsters, nor Normal Summon/Set any monsters. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It's at least better than Darlingtonia Cobra but not by much, especially given the restraints and its stats. |
| MACR-EN010 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Predaplant Darlingtonia Cobra DARK / Plant / Level 3 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1500 If this card is Special Summoned by the effect of a "Predaplant" monster: You can add 1 "Polymerization" Spell Card or "Fusion" Spell Card from your Deck to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Predaplant Darlingtonia Cobra" once per Duel. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Not only does it have to be Special Summoned by a Predaplant monster's effect, the effect is once per duel and its stats are poor. |
| MACR-EN009 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio DARK / Plant / Level 3 / ATK 1200 / DEF 800 If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can send 1 monster from your hand to the Graveyard; Special Summon 1 "Predaplant" monster from your Deck, except "Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio". You can only use this effect of "Predaplant Ophyrs Scorpio" once per turn. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Predaplants have potential with this but it'll cost you a monster from your hand just to get another one from your Deck, which'll lower your chances at a comeback if it's destroyed. |

| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Speedroid Rubberband Plane WIND / Machine / Level 5 / ATK 1800 / DEF 0 If a monster is Special Summoned to your field (except during the Damage Step): You can Special Summon this card from your hand, also you cannot Special Summon monsters for the rest of this turn, except WIND monsters. You can only use this effect of "Speedroid Rubberband Plane" once per turn. If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can target 1 face-up monster on the field; it loses 600 ATK until the end of this turn. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | The 1st effect isn't all that bad but the other two and its stats are too poor to make this card any better. |

| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Speedroid Maliciousmagnet WIND / Machine-Type Tuner / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 0 Cannot be used as Synchro Material except for a Synchro Summon by its own effect. During your Main Phase, if this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; immediately after this effect resolves, Synchro Summon 1 WIND Synchro Monster using only this card you control and that monster. You can only use this effect of "Speedroid Maliciousmagnet" once per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | What good is being a Tuner if you're restrained on how to use it? This guy forces you to use it in the worst way possible and offers nothing else worthwhile. |
| MACR-EN006 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Speedroid Skull Marbles WIND / Machine / Level 7 / ATK 0 / DEF 3000 Once per turn, during the Standby Phase, if your opponent controls a face-up monster that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck: You can Special Summon this card from your hand. Cannot be destroyed by battle with a Normal Summoned/Set monster. Your opponent takes any battle damage you would have taken from battles involving this card.

| Comments: | It looks promising but the effects ultimate tear down what could've been a higher rating, making the much more viable option Amazoness Swords Woman. |
| MACR-EN005 | |
| Card Info | Performapal Coin Dragon WATER / Dragon-Type Pendulum / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 1000 / Scale 5 Once per turn: You can target 1 Dragon-Type monster you control that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck; this turn, if that monster you control battles an opponent's monster, banish that opponent's monster after damage calculation (even if this card leaves the field). Other Dragon-Type monsters you control gain 500 ATK, also they cannot be destroyed by card effects. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | There are plenty of Extra Deck Dragon-Type monsters so this has its uses but there aren't many. |
| MACR-EN004 | |
| Card Info | Performapal U Go Golem DARK / Fiend-Type Pendulum / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1000 / Scale 1 Once per turn, if a monster is Fusion Summoned to your field (except during the Damage Step): You can add 1 "Performapal", "Odd-Eyes", or "Magician" Pendulum Monster from your Graveyard or face-up in your Extra Deck to your hand. Once per turn, during your Main Phase, if this card was Pendulum Summoned this turn: You can Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using this card you control and Dragon-Type monsters you control as Fusion Materials. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | With Instant Fusion still legal, this isn't all that bad but it's still not much to work with apart from its Scale. |

| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Performapal Revue Dancer LIGHT / Spellcaster / Level 3 / ATK 800 / DEF 1000 If your opponent controls a monster and you control no monsters, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). This card can be treated as 2 Tributes for the Tribute Summon of a "Performapal" monster. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | The high-level Performapals can benefit from this but apart from that, you're better off with Cyber Dragon. |
| MACR-EN002 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Performapal Sky Pupil LIGHT / Spellcaster / Level 3 / ATK 800 / DEF 800 During either player's turn: You can return 1 Level 5 or higher "Performapal" monster you control to the hand; Special Summon this card from your hand. You can only use this effect of "Performapal Sky Pupil" once per turn. If this card battles an opponent's monster, that monster has its effects negated until the end of the Damage Step. Before damage calculation, if this card attacked an opponent's monster while you control another "Performapal" monster: You can destroy that opponent's monster. RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Unfortunately, this guy is pretty well outclassed by Neo-Spacian Grand Mole, which gets rid of most monsters it ever battles against and doesn't even deal battle damage. |
| MACR-EN001 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Performapal Sky Magician WIND / Spellcaster / Level 7 / ATK 2500 / DEF 2000 Once per turn, if you activate a Spell Card: This card gains 300 ATK. During either player's turn: You can target 1 Continuous Spell Card you control; return it to the hand, then you can activate 1 "Magician" Continuous Spell Card from your hand.

| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It'll get stronger with each Spell Card you activate but the effect is once per turn and is pretty strict on the 2nd effect. The last effect isn't that bad, though its stats aren't great either. |
| MACR-EN000 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Pendulum Switch Continuous Trap You can target 1 card in your Pendulum Zone; Special Summon it. You can target 1 Pendulum Monster in your Monster Zone; place it in your Pendulum Zone. You can only use 1 "Pendulum Switch" effect per turn, and only once that turn. RARE |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | This really helps bypass the strict requirements posed by Pendulum-hybrid monsters like Odd-Eyes Rebellion and even the monster in this set. Plus it can go the other way around, giving you a potentially powerful monster. |
