RATE-EN099
Card Type: Spell Card

Continuous Spell
When a "D/D/D" monster of the below card type is Special Summoned from the Extra Deck to your field: You can activate the appropriate effect once per turn;
● Fusion: Gain 1000 LP.
● Synchro: Your opponent cannot target that Special Summoned monster with card effects.
● Xyz: Banish 1 card from the field or the Graveyard.
● Pendulum: Draw 1 card, then discard 1 card.

ULTRA RARE  
Rating: 2
Comments: Each of its bulleted effects offers a perk for taking the time to achieve the required Special Summoning method but it's still going to cost you heavily during your Standby Phases and is useless if your Special Summoning method doesn't yield a D/D/D monster.   
RATE-EN098
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Windwitch - Glass Bell
WIND / Spellcaster-Type Tuner / Level 4 / ATK 1500 / DEF 1500
If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add 1 "Windwitch" monster from your Deck to your hand, except "Windwitch - Glass Bell", also you cannot Special Summon monsters for the rest of this turn, except WIND monsters. You can only use this effect of "Windwitch - Glass Bell" once per turn.
ULTRA RARE

Comments: A new Level 4 Tuner monster that can fetch a second Windwitch monster just for Summoning it but as usual, you won't be Special Summoning non-WIND monsters that turn.

Card Info Delta The Magnet Warrior
EARTH / Rock / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1400
If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can send 1 Level 4 or lower "Magnet Warrior" monster from your Deck to the Graveyard. If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can banish 3 Level 4 or lower "Magnet Warrior" monsters from your Graveyard, except "Delta The Magnet Warrior"; Special Summon 1 "Valkyrion the Magna Warrior" from your hand or Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions. You can only use each effect of "Delta The Magnet Warrior" once per turn.
SUPER RARE

Comments: It can get the Magnet Warriors into the Graveyard for retrieval later but I wouldn't recommend Special Summoning Valkyrion by this guy's effect.   
RATE-EN096
Card Info Symphonic Warrior Miccs
WIND / Machine-Type Pendulum / Level 5 / ATK 2300 / DEF 1100 / Scale 1
Unless you have a "Symphonic Warrior" card in your other Pendulum Zone, this card's Pendulum Scale becomes 4. Once per turn, during your End Phase: You can target 1 of your banished "Symphonic Warrior" monsters; add it to your hand.
You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by removing 3 Symphonic Counters from your field. After you Normal or Special Summon this card, you can Normal Summon 1 monster during your Main Phase this turn, in addition to your Normal Summon/Set. (You can only gain this effect once per turn.)
COMMON  
Rating: 2
Comments: Much like Timegazer Magician, this guy will raise its Scale if you don't have a certain monster in your other Pendulum Zone but since Symph Amplifier is little more than a faint noise, you won't be using those Symphonic Counters to Special Summon this guy right away.   
RATE-EN095
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Lightsworn Judgment
Normal Trap
Place this card on top of the Deck. If this card is sent from the Deck to the Graveyard by a "Lightsworn" monster's effect: You can add 1 "Judgment Dragon" from your Deck to your hand.
COMMON  
Rating: 2
Comments: Judgment Dragon is certainly the strongest monster to get from a Lightsworn Deck but you probably won't have met the requirements to get it on the field and thus it will be clear to your opponent that you plan to Summon it later.  
RATE-EN094
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Mekanikal Arkfiend
DARK / Fiend / Level 4 / ATK 100 / DEF 2100
When this card inflicts battle damage to your opponent: You can Special Summon 1 Normal Monster from your hand or Graveyard.
COMMON

Comments: 2100 DEF can hold back some monsters but it can only bring out or revive Normal Monsters.   
RATE-EN093
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Rocket Hand
Normal Trap
Target 1 Attack Position monster you control with 800 or more ATK; equip this card to that target. It gains 800 ATK. You can send this equipped card to the Graveyard, then target 1 face-up card on the field; destroy it, then change the ATK of the monster this card was equipped to, to 0, also its battle position cannot be changed. You can only use 1 "Rocket Hand" effect per turn, and only once that turn.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Girag would be disappointed that this card is so lame because while its ATK boost and activation requirements aren't that bad, should you choose to use the other effect, the affected monster loses any ATK it had prior to using this and is forced to stay in the battle position it was in before activation.   
RATE-EN092
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Symph Amplifire
Field Spell
Each time an effect of a "Symphonic Warrior" card is activated, place 1 Symphonic Counter on this card when that effect resolves. All "Symphonic Warrior" monsters on the field gain 100 ATK for each Symphonic Counter on this card. Once per turn: You can remove 5 or 7 Symphonic Counters from your field; apply this effect, depending on the number of Symphonic Counters removed.
● 5 Counters: Inflict 300 damage to your opponent for each "Symphonic Warrior" card on the field.
● 7 Counters: Banish cards your opponent controls and/or in their Graveyard, up to the number of "Symphonic Warrior" cards on the field.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: The boost is weak and it will take several counters accumulated for you to be able to use either effect, which in turn will cost them the ATK boost this card provides.
RATE-EN091
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Symphonic Warrior Synthess
WIND / Machine-Type Flip / Level 4 / ATK 1200 / DEF 1900
FLIP: You can add 1 "Symphonic Warrior" monster from your Deck to your hand, except "Symphonic Warrior Synthess".
Once per turn: You can target 1 monster you control or in your Graveyard whose original name includes "Symphonic Warrior", except "Symphonic Warrior Synthess"; until the End Phase, this card's name becomes that monster's original name, and replace this effect with that monster's original effects. You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 1 of your banished "Symphonic Warrior" monsters, except "Symphonic Warrior Synthess"; Special Summon it.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It has 1900 DEF and can copy some of the better Symphonic Warriors for a turn but having a Symphonic Warrior be banished isn't that likely and you have to banish this card from the Graveyard to bring that banished Symphonic Warrior back to your field.
RATE-EN090
Card Info Symphonic Warrior Guitaar
WIND / Machine-Type Pendulum / Level 3 / ATK 1500 / DEF 100 / Scale 7
You can discard 1 card; Special Summon 1 "Symphonic Warrior" monster from your Deck, except "Symphonic Warrior Guitaar". You can only use this effect of "Symphonic Warrior Guitaar" once per turn.
When this card is Normal Summoned: You can target 1 "Symphonic Warrior" monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Should more Symphonic Warriors get made, this won't be too bad but at the moment, I've only found one Symphonic Warrior monster to be worthwhile.
RATE-EN089
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info SPYRAL MISSION - Recapture
Continuous Trap
Destroy this card during your 3rd End Phase after activation. Once per turn, if a "SPYRAL" monster is Special Summoned to your field (except during the Damage Step): You can target 1 monster your opponent controls; take control of it until the End Phase, but it cannot attack directly this turn. If a "SPYRAL" monster(s) you control would be destroyed by battle or card effect, you can banish this card from your Graveyard instead of destroying 1 of those "SPYRAL" monsters.

Comments: SPYRAL monsters have ended their run as cards but only a few of them are actually worthwile, which means this card doesn't have a whole lot of uses either.

Normal Trap
If you control "SPYRAL Super Agent": Target 1 face-up card your opponent controls; place it on top of the Deck. You can only activate 1 "SPYRAL GEAR - Utility Wire" per turn.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: It may look like it's effective in the artwork but I'd bet that's just what the SPYRALs envision it to do rather than what it actually does because this card's effect is anything but effective.

Card Info SPYRAL Tough
WIND / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1900 / DEF 1500
This card's name becomes "SPYRAL Super Agent" while it is on the field or in the Graveyard.

If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can declare 1 card type (Monster, Spell, or Trap); reveal the top card of your opponent's Deck, and if you do, draw 1 card if it is a card of that type. Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can target 1 "SPYRAL Super Agent" you control and 1 monster your opponent controls; return both monsters to the hand.

All "Subterror" monsters you control gain 500 ATK and DEF for each Set monster on the field. Once per turn, when a "Subterror" monster you control inflicts battle damage to your opponent: You can target 1 "Subterror" card in your Graveyard, except "Subterror Cave Clash"; add it to your hand.

FLIP: You can target 1 Set monster your opponent controls; take control of it until your next End Phase. You can only use this effect of "Subterror Behemoth Voltelluric" 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.

Comments: With 3000 DEF, it's bound to survive being attacked by an opponent's monster and will likely cost your opponent LP too but both effects are pretty mediocre.

EARTH / Beast-Warrior / Level 2 / ATK 100 / DEF 2000
During either player's turn, when your opponent activates a card or effect that targets exactly 1 Set monster you control (and no other cards), or when a Set monster you control is targeted for an attack by an opponent's monster: You can send this card from your hand or face-up from your field to the Graveyard, then target another monster you control that would be an appropriate target; that card/effect/attack now targets the new target. While you control a Set monster, this card cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects.

Card Info Massivemorph
Normal Trap
Target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; its ATK and DEF become double its current ATK and DEF, but it cannot attack directly.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Not being able to attack directly is a small drawback when the opponent's monster is twice as strong. Stick to Darkworld Shackles instead as it's much easier to activate and doesn't benefit your opponent at all.

Card Info Switcheroroo
Normal Trap
If you control the same number of monsters as your opponent, switch control of all those monsters.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: If your monsters are outmatched, this'd help you out pretty nicely or you could just play a weaker monster on purpose, then switch it with your opponent's lone monster but you both need to control the same number of monsters.

Normal Trap
Tribute 1 DARK monster with 2000 or more DEF; check your opponent's hand, all monsters they control, and all cards they draw until the end of their 3rd turn after this card's activation, and destroy all those monsters with 1500 or less DEF.

Comments: This could hit more powerful monsters like any of the Monarchs or Jinzo but I think you'd want to keep that DARK monster instead of getting rid of it for little or no benefit.

You can only use each effect of "Shinobird Salvation" once per turn.

Card Type: Xyz Monster
Card Info Zoodiac Broadbull
EARTH / Beast-Warrior-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK ? / DEF ?
2 Level 4 monsters
Once per turn, you can also Xyz Summon "Zoodiac Broadbull" by using 1 "Zoodiac" monster you control with a different name as Xyz Material. (If you used an Xyz Monster, any Xyz Materials attached to it also become Xyz Materials on this card.) This card gains ATK and DEF equal to the ATK and DEF of all "Zoodiac" monsters attached to it as Materials. Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; add 1 Beast-Warrior-Type monster, that can be Normal Summoned/Set, from your Deck to your hand.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It's only as strong as the number of Zoodiacs as its Xyz Materials and will lose ATK and DEF when the effect is used but it's not all that bad given there's really no limit to how strong they can be and you can use just one Zoodiac as the Xyz Material.

● Once per turn: You can detach up to 3 Xyz Materials from this card; monsters you control cannot attack your opponent directly for the rest of this turn, except this card, also for each Material detached, take control of 1 opponent's face-up monster until the End Phase, but while this effect is applied, they have their effects negated, their ATK's become 4500, also their names become "Neo Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon".

Comments: Right away, this card asks for a Cipher card as Xyz Material for it to obtain any of its effects and even when you do, this card costs you 3 Xyz Materials to snatch monsters from your opponent and turn them into basically rip-offs of this monster that can't even attack drectly (and given the effect, you'll probably be in that situation).

● It can make a second attack during each Battle Phase.

This card can attack while in face-up Defense Position. If it does, apply its DEF for damage calculation. If you have no Spell/Trap Cards in your Graveyard: You can halve this card's original DEF until the end of this turn, and if you do, this card can attack your opponent directly this turn. Once per turn, during the next Standby Phase after this card was destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon this card.

Comments: It doesn't offer the same attack protection that other Ancient Gear monsters do but it's unaffected by Spell/Trap cards anyway and haults your opponent's monster effects during the Battle Phase.

Comments: Supposedly, this guy is the main piece to Zoodiac Decks, though OCG Decklists have them being merged with other Deck themes, probably because they can't really do much on their own, which is pretty much what I've observed from their ATK and DEF.

Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Ancient Gear Hunting Hound
EARTH / Machine / Level 3 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1000
If this card is Normal Summoned: Inflict 600 damage to your opponent. If this card attacks, your opponent cannot activate any Spell/Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step.

Comments: Ancient Gears have returned for the ARC-V era of dueling and while this guy doesn't look like much, it can help you Fusion Summon Ancient Gear Fusion Monsters without Polymerization, not to mention doesn't have to be one of the Fusion Materials.

Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Flower Cardian Cherry Blossom with Curtain
DARK / Warrior / Level 3 / ATK 2000 / DEF 2000
Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must first be Special Summoned by its own effect. You can reveal this card in your hand; draw 1 card, and if you do, show it, then Special Summon this card if the drawn card is a "Flower Cardian" monster. Otherwise, send it and this card to the Graveyard. During either player's Damage Step, when your "Flower Cardian" monster battles an opponent's monster: You can discard this card; your battling monster gains 1000 ATK until the end of this turn.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Even Flower Cardians cannot manipulate the odds to guarantee good luck and this guy relies heavily on that because you're forced to either bring it out by its effect or you can't use it.

Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Cipher Etranger
LIGHT / Spellcaster / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
If this card is in your hand or Graveyard: You can target 1 "Cipher" Xyz Monster you control; attach this card to it as an Xyz Material. If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can add 1 "Cipher" Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand. You can only use 1 "Cipher Etranger" effect per turn, and only once that turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Your Cipher Xyz Monster will basically have an Xyz Material each turn the effect is used, though it can only be used once per turn and the other effect can only get Cipher Spell/Trap Cards, and that's if the 1st effect hasn't been used already that turn.
RATE-EN010
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Cyber Tutubon
EARTH / Warrior / Level 5 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1600
You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by Tributing 1 Warrior or Fairy-Type monster from your hand or field. If this card is Tributed for a Ritual Summon: You can target 1 Ritual Spell Card in your Graveyard; add it to your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Undoubtedly an upgraded version of Cyber Tutu from the GX era but it hasn't really improved apart from its ATK and DEF, which are pretty poor for a Level 5 monster as is its effect.
RATE-EN009
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Fusion Parasite
DARK / Insect / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
This card can be used as a substitute for any 1 Fusion Material whose name is specifically listed on the Fusion Monster Card, but the other Fusion Material(s) must be correct. Cannot be used as Fusion Material otherwise. If this card is Special Summoned (except during the Damage Step): You can Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters you control as Fusion Materials, including this card.

Rating: 1
Comments: Regular Fusion Substitutes do better than this for they're stronger and can be used for any Fusion Summon and don't need a mediocre 2nd way to Fusion Summon either.

Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Windwitch - Snow Bell
WIND / Spellcaster-Type Tuner / Level 1 / ATK 100 / DEF 100
If you control 2 or more WIND monsters, and no non-WIND monsters: You can Special Summon this card from your hand. A WIND Synchro Monster that was Summoned using this card as Synchro Material cannot be destroyed by your opponent's card effects.
ULTRA RARE

Comments: Thankfully, I can use this for any WIND Synchro, not just Windwitch Synchros but that still doesn't make this all that good to use.

Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Windwitch - Ice Bell
WIND / Spellcaster / Level 3 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1000
If you control no monsters: You can Special Summon this card from your hand, then you can Special Summon 1 "Windwitch" monster from your Deck, but it cannot be Tributed. You cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck the turn you activate this effect, except Level 5 or higher WIND monsters. If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can inflict 500 damage to your opponent. You can only use each effect of "Windwitch - Ice Bell" once per turn.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: The 1st effect isn't all that bad as you can bring out two copies right away but you won't be Tribute Summoning the 2nd monster and you're restrained to Level 5 or higher WIND Extra Deck Special Summons. The other effect won't be doing you much good either considering even if you bring out two copies, only one of them will get to deal damage.
RATE-EN006
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Speedroid Horse Stilts
WIND / Machine / Level 4 / ATK 1100 / DEF 1100

Card Info Speedroid Gum Prize
WIND / Machine-Type Tuner / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 800
During the Battle Phase, if you take battle or effect damage: You can Special Summon this card from your hand. During either player's Battle Phase in which this card was Special Summoned by its effect, you can: Immediately after this effect resolves, Synchro Summon 1 Synchro Monster, using only WIND monsters you control, including this card. If this card is sent to the Graveyard as a Synchro Material: You can send the top card of your Deck to the Graveyard, and if the sent card was a "Speedroid" monster, the Synchro Monster that used this card as Synchro Material gains 1000 ATK.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: A very weak Tuner monster but a Tuner monster without any summoning requirements or side-effects, though getting the most out of it will require you to use it with other Speedroids.
RATE-EN004
Card Info Performapal Laugh Maker
LIGHT / Spellcaster-Type Pendulum / Level 8 / ATK 2500 / DEF 2000 / Scale 5
Once per turn, if your opponent controls a monster whose current ATK is higher than its original ATK: You can gain 1000 LP.
When this card declares an attack: You can make this card gain 1000 ATK for each monster on the field whose current ATK is higher than its original ATK, except other monsters you control, until the end of the Battle Phase. If this card is destroyed by battle or card effect while its current ATK is higher than its original ATK: You can target 1 monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it. You can only use 1 "Performapal Laugh Maker" effect per turn, and only once that turn.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: With all the ATK boosting cards that exist today, this guy is bound to be stronger than its printed ATK but even that isn't much when it doesn't gain for any monsters on your field that have higher-than-normal ATK.

Card Info Performapal Dag Daggerman
EARTH / Warrior-Type Pendulum / Level 5 / ATK 2000 / DEF 600 / Scale 2
During your Main Phase, if this card was activated this turn: You can target 1 "Performapal" monster in your Graveyard; add it to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Performapal Dag Daggerman" once per turn.
During your Main Phase, if this card was Pendulum Summoned this turn: You can send 1 "Performapal" monster from your hand to the Graveyard; draw 1 card. You can only use this effect of "Performapal Dag Daggerman" once per turn.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Both effects are one-time effects because you don't activate the exact same card multiple times usually and you certainly won't here, especially given that Pendulum Summons are once per turn. Plus, aside from his Scale, there's nothing good about it and none of it justifies having such a high rarity.
RATE-EN002
Card Info Performapal Handstandacoon
EARTH / Beast-Type Pendulum / Level 2 / ATK 400 / DEF 600 / Scale 3
You can target 1 "Performapal" card you control; return it to the hand, but for the rest of this turn, your cards with the same name as the one returned to the hand by this effect, and their effects, cannot be activated (even if this card leaves the field). You can only use this effect of "Performapal Handstandaccoon" once per turn.
When this card is destroyed by battle: You can target 1 card on the field; return it to the hand.

Comments: The monster's acrobatics will impress no one since his stats and effects are poor and such a feat isn't uncommon.

Card Info Dragoncaller Magician
DARK / Spellcaster-Type Pendulum / Level 7 / ATK 2400 / DEF 1000 / Scale 2
Once per turn: You can target 1 face-up monster on the field; it becomes Dragon-Type until the end of your opponent's turn (even if this card leaves the field).
Once per turn: You can make this card become Dragon-Type until the end of this turn. A monster that was Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz Summoned using this card on the field as Material gains this effect.
● If this card battles a Dragon-Type monster, this card's ATK becomes double its original ATK during the Damage Step only.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Its low scale will help you get plenty of soon-to-be Dragon-Type monsters out but that benefit only lasts until your opponent's next turn ends and the other effect only applies if the new monster battles a Dragon-Type monster, not to mention its stats aren't great for a Level 7 monster.
RATE-EN000
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Fusion Recycling Plant
Field Spell
Once per turn: You can discard 1 card; add 1 "Polymerization" from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand. Once per turn, during the End Phase: You can target 1 monster in your Graveyard that was used as a Fusion Material for a Fusion Summon this turn; add it to your hand.

Comments: This card helps you overcome the general obstacles with Fusion Summoning. Typically, you get one Fusion Summon and then have to wait until you can Fusion Summon again, either by drawing a 2nd Fusion Summon Spell Card or recovering the old one. Though, neither effect is really all that great.
