| SHSP-EN099 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Vivid Knight LIGHT / Beast-Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 800 During either player's turn (except during the Damage Step), when your opponent targets exactly 1 LIGHT Beast-Warrior-Type monster you control (and no other cards) for an attack, or with a card effect: Banish that monster you control until your next Standby Phase, and if you do, Special Summon this card from your hand. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It works on itself and either player's turn but you lose that monster until your next Standby Phase, leaving you one less monster to defend yourself. |
| SHSP-EN098 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Oh Tokenbaum! Normal Trap Tribute 2 or more Tokens with the same Level, then target monsters in your Graveyard with that same Level, up to the number of Tokens Tributed; Special Summon those targets. Their effects are negated. Destroy them during the End Phase. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | The more Tokens you tribute the more monsters you can Special Summon but it's limited to the Level of those Tokens, you lose the new monsters during the End Phase and the new monsters don't get to use their effects. |
| SHSP-EN097 | |
| Card Type: | Xyz Monster |
| Card Info | Armored Kappa WATER / Psychic-Type Xyz / Rank 2 / ATK 400 / DEF 1000 2 Level 2 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; this card gains 1000 ATK or DEF. During either player's Battle Step, while an attack involving your monster is occurring: You can discard 1 card; for the rest of this turn, monsters you control cannot be destroyed by battle, also you take no battle damage. You can only use this effect of "Armored Kappa" once per Duel. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | The ATK or DEF boost it gets is permanent but weak stats and a second effect that can only be used once per duel for a small fee is pretty poor. |
| SHSP-EN096 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Black Dragon Collapserpent DARK / Dragon / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1700 Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by banishing 1 LIGHT monster from your Graveyard, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. You can only Special Summon "Black Dragon Collapserpent" once per turn this way. If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard: You can add 1 "White Dragon Wyverburster" from your Deck to your hand. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | When it's done collapsing, maybe it'll completely disappear and that'd be great because it's a pitiful excuse for a monster. |
| SHSP-EN095 | |
| Card Info | Secret Sanctuary of the Spellcasters Continuous Spell When a monster(s) (except a Spellcaster-Type monster) is Normal or Special Summoned to your opponent's side of the field while you control another face-up Spell Card and your opponent does not control any face-up Spell Cards: That monster cannot attack or activate its effects this turn. (This applies even if this card leaves the field.) If you do not control any Spellcaster-Type monsters, destroy this card. RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | To even make this card work, you need an additional face up Spell Card and a face up Spellcaster-Type monster and then you need to wait until your opponent Normal or Special Summons a non-Spellcaster-Type monster while not having any face up Spell Cards. Not worth it at all. |
| SHSP-EN094 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Kidmodo Dragon EARTH / Dragon / Level 3 / ATK 100 / DEF 200 If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 Dragon-Type monster from your hand. You cannot Special Summon monsters, except Dragon-Type monsters, nor conduct your Battle Phase, the turn you activate this effect. You can only use the effect of "Kidmodo Dragon" once per turn. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | Doesn't matter how it's sent to the Graveyard, nor what Dragon-Type monster you can Special Summon and the side-effects are perfectly understandable and don't hinder you too badly. |
| SHSP-EN093 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | White Dragon Wyverburster LIGHT / Dragon / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 1800 Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by banishing 1 DARK monster from your Graveyard, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. You can only Special Summon "White Dragon Wyverburster" once per turn this way. If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard: You can add 1 "Black Dragon Collapserpent" from your Deck to your hand. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Not only does he do nothing on the field for your efforts but his stats are weak and you can't play more than one per turn! |
| SHSP-EN092 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Dragard DARK / Dragon / Level 4 / ATK 1300 / DEF 1900 When this card is Normal Summoned: You can target 1 Normal Monster with 1000 or less ATK in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target in face-up Defense Position. Once per turn: You can Tribute 1 Dragon-Type monster, then target 1 face-up monster you control; until the End Phase, its Level becomes 8, and if it does, it gains 800 ATK. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Its DEF will help it last on the field from most monsters with its Level and it can help with Rank 8 Xyz Summons but what it brings back is pretty limited. |
| SHSP-EN091 | |
| Card Type: | Xyz Monster |
| Card Info | Mira the Star-Bearer LIGHT / Warrior-Type Xyz / Rank 1 / ATK 1100 / DEF 1000 3 Level 1 monsters If this face-up card would be destroyed, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card instead. Level 4 or lower monsters you control cannot be destroyed by card effects. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It can protect itself and your other monsters but once it's out of Xyz Materials, its weak stats won't hold much back. |
| SHSP-EN090 | |
| Card Type: | Synchro Monster |
| Card Info | Celestial Wolf Lord,
Blue Sirius DARK / Beast-Warrior-Type Synchro / Level 6 / ATK 2400 / DEF 1500 1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters When this card on the field is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard: Target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; it loses 2400 ATK. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 4 |
| Comments: | A generic Synchro that makes any opponent's monster easy pray for your own monsters is a great addition to your Extra Deck and well worth its rarity, especially since the effect isn't specific about how it activates or what it can target. |
| SHSP-EN089 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Sinister Yorishiro Continuous Trap Each turn, 1 Level 5 or higher Fiend-Type monster you Normal Summon can be Summoned without Tributing. If exactly 1 Normal Summoned/Set Level 5 or higher Fiend-Type monster (and no other cards) would be destroyed, you can send this card to the Graveyard instead. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | A perfect addition to any deck using Fiend-Type monsters as its effect lets you play your high-Level Fiends without Tributes each turn and can save its destruction if singled out by a card effect. |
| SHSP-EN088 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Noble Arms - Excaliburn Equip Spell Equip only to a "Noble Knight" monster. It cannot be targeted by an opponent's card effects. During your turn, except the turn this card was sent to the Graveyard: You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 1 "Noble Knight" Xyz Monster you control; Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 "Noble Knight" 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.) You can only use this effect of "Noble Arms - Excaliburn" once per turn. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It protects your Noble Knight from cards that would single it out to get rid of it or you can make an Xyz Monster become Xyz Material for a new Xyz Monster but neither monster will be safe from destruction by other means. |
| SHSP-EN087 | |
| Card Type: | Xyz Monster |
| Card Info | Sacred Noble Knight of King Artorigus LIGHT / Warrior-Type Xyz / Rank 5 / ATK 2200 / DEF 2200 2 Level 5 "Noble Knight" monsters When this card is Xyz Summoned: You can target up to 3 "Noble Arms" Equip Spell Cards with different names in your Graveyard; equip those targets to this card. Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 other monster on the field; destroy that target. If this card on the field is sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 Level 4 or higher "Noble Knight" monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Even though he's barely stronger than Laundsallyn and his first effect only activates when Xyz Summoned, he can do more than that afterwards but is restricted to Level 5 Noble Knight Xyz Materials. |
| SHSP-EN086 | |
| Card Type: | Synchro Monster |
| Card Info | Ignoble Knight of High Laundsallyn DARK / Warrior-Type Synchro / Level 5 / ATK 2100 / DEF 900 1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner "Noble Knight" monsters When this card is Synchro Summoned: You can equip 1 "Noble Arms" Equip Spell Card from your Deck to this card. At the end of the Battle Phase, if this card destroyed a monster by battle and sent it to the Graveyard: You can add 1 "Noble Knight" or "Noble Arms" card from your Deck to your hand. You can only control 1 "Ignoble Knight of High Laundsallyn". SECRET RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | He specifically asks for his friends to be his non-Tuners, only gets a Noble Arms card when Symchro Summoned, is weak in ATK and DEF and has to defeat a monster in battle to even help out. An overall big disappointment. |
| SHSP-EN085 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Noble Knight Borz LIGHT / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 900 This card is treated as a Normal Monster while face-up on the field. While equipped with a "Noble Arms" Equip Spell Card, this card becomes an Effect Monster with these effects. ● This card becomes DARK and its Level is increased by 1. During your Main Phase: You can reveal 3 "Noble Arms" cards from your Deck, have your opponent randomly add 1 of them to your hand, and send the rest to the Graveyard. You can only use this effect of "Noble Knight Borz" once per turn. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | So now they're trying to rip-off Power Tool Dragon's effect and even PTD's effect is better as the rest go back into the Deck and PTD gets his effects right away, whereas this guy starts as a Gemini monster wannabe. |
| SHSP-EN084 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Lady of the Lake LIGHT / Aqua-Type Tuner / Level 1 / ATK 200 / DEF 1800 Cannot be used as a Synchro Material Monster, except for the Synchro Summon of a Warrior-Type monster. If this card is used for a Synchro Summon, banish it. When this card is Normal Summoned: You can target 1 "Noble Knight" Normal Monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target. If this card is in your Graveyard: You can target 1 Level 5 "Noble Knight" monster you control; reduce its Level by 1, and if you do, Special Summon this card from the Graveyard. SECRET RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Based on her effect, she must've been one of the ones that didn't make the cut for Swan Lake because she's not even cut-out to be a Tuner monster. |
| SHSP-EN083 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Archfiend Giant DARK / Fiend / Level 6 / ATK 2400 / DEF 1600 If this face-up card on the field would be destroyed by a card effect, you can pay 500 Life Points instead. This effect can only be used once while this card is face-up on the field. If this card is destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 "Archfiend" monster from your hand. RARE |
| Rating: | 4 |
| Comments: | Although the effects are pretty bad, neither of them are bad enough to keep you from using this card outside its intended uses! |
| SHSP-EN082 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Vampire Duke DARK / Zombie / Level 5 / ATK 2000 / DEF 0 When this card is Normal Summoned: You can target 1 DARK "Vampire" monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target in face-up Defense Position. When this card is Special Summoned: You can declare 1 card type (Monster, Spell, or Trap); your opponent sends 1 card of that type from their Deck to the Graveyard. You can only use this effect of "Vampire Duke" once per turn. This card cannot be used as an Xyz Material for an Xyz Summon, except for the Xyz Summon of a DARK monster. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | He makes for an easy Rank 5 Xyz Summon but he's limited to being Xyz Material for DARK Xyz Monsters can only revive DARK Vampire monsters and while he can use his card type sending ability more easily, he can only use it when Special Summoned. |
| SHSP-EN081 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Bujingi Raven LIGHT / Winged Beast / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 900 When a "Bujin" monster you control is destroyed by battle with an opponent's monster and sent to your Graveyard: You can send this card from your hand to the Graveyard; destroy that opponent's monster. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | This is along the lines of monsters like Yomi Ship that take out the monster that destroyed your monster in battle but it's somewhat better as it's discarded from the hand. |
| SHSP-EN080 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | BIG Win!? Normal Trap Declare a Level between 1 and 12; each player tosses a coin, and if both are Heads, the Levels of all face-up monsters you currently control become the declared Level. If both are tails, you lose Life Points equal to the declared Level x 500. SHORT PRINT COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | It requires a fair bit just to make the Levels of your monsters the same for an Xyz Summon and luck is generally not one the holder's side. |
| SHSP-EN079 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Survival of the Fittest Normal Trap Target 1 Dinosaur-Type monster you control; equip this card to that target. It gains 1000 ATK. When it destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard: The equipped monster can make a second attack on an opponent's monster in a row. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Makes its host even stronger, or just stronger if it's a weak Dinosaur but it can only attack monsters. |
| SHSP-EN078 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Grisaille Prison Normal Trap If you control a face-up monster that was Tribute, Ritual or Fusion Summoned: Until the end of your opponent's next turn, neither player can Synchro or Xyz Summon, Synchro and Xyz Monsters cannot attack, also their effects are negated. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It's not too bad of an idea to stop your opponent from bringing something out or attacking with something that could harm or destroy your monster but yours are also affected. |
| SHSP-EN077 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Chain Ignition Continuous Trap Once per turn, if a monster(s) your opponent controls is destroyed by your opponent's card effect (except during the Damage Step): You can target 1 card on the field; destroy that target. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | It relies solely on your opponent's monster getting destroyed by one of their own cards' effects and even then, you won't be destroying any further cards that turn once the effect resolves. |
| SHSP-EN076 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Mistake Continuous Trap Neither player can add cards from their Deck to their hand except by drawing them. SECRET RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Although having Thunder King Rai-Oh's first effect, it's slower to activate and is more prone to removal. |
| SHSP-EN075 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Vampire Takeover Normal Trap If you have no card in your Field Card Zone and all face-up monsters you control (min. 1) are Zombie-Type: Activate 1 "Vampire Kingdom" directly from your Deck, then, you can Special Summon 1 DARK "Vampire" monster from your Graveyard in face-up Defense Position. You can only activate 1 "Vampire Takeover" per turn. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It's too bad I cannot activate Zombie World from my deck as it's the better Zombie support card but you also at least get a free monster too, even it comes out in Defense Mode. |
| SHSP-EN074 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Ghostrick Scare Normal Trap Target any number of face-down Defense Position monsters you control; change them to face-up Defense Position, count the number of "Ghostrick" monsters among them, and if you do, change up to that many face-up monsters your opponent controls to face-down Defense Position (min. 1). COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | One of the better Ghostrick Trap Cards as not only does it set you up for Normal Summoning Ghostricks but it hides your opponent's monsters to prevent their effects from being used. |
| SHSP-EN073 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Ghostrick Vanish Normal Trap Reveal 1 "Ghostrick" monster in your hand; this turn, "Ghostrick" cards you control, and face-down Defense Position monsters you control, cannot be targeted by, or be destroyed by, card effects. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Your efforts save your Ghostrick monsters from effects that would otherwise harm them but even that can't save them from battle. |
| SHSP-EN072 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Intrigue Shield Normal Trap Target 1 face-up monster you control; equip this card to that target. Once per turn, while the equipped monster is in face-up Attack Position, it cannot be destroyed by battle. You take no battle damage from attacks involving it. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | I am not intrigued by a card that has what cards before it already have, especially the likes of Fortress Warrior and Mist Body. |
| SHSP-EN071 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Numbers Overlay Boost Normal Trap Target 1 "Number" Xyz Monster you control that has no Xyz Materials; attach 2 monsters from your hand to that face-up Xyz Monster, as Xyz Materials. COMMON |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | The best Xyz Monsters out there are generally "Number" Xyz Monsters and this card doesn't require you to attach monsters whose Level equals the Rank of that Xyz Monster, making even your worst monsters fuel for your best ones! |
| SHSP-EN070 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Burst Rebirth Normal Trap Pay 2000 Life Points, then target 1 monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target in face-down Defense Position. RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Regardless of Monster Reborn's re-banning, this card is still outclassed by Call of the Haunted and The Shallow Grave, both of which are cost-free. |
| SHSP-EN069 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Magicalized Duston Mop Equip Spell You can only control 1 "Magicalized Duston Mop". The equipped monster cannot be Tributed, or be used as a Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz Material for a Summon. When this card you control is destroyed by your opponent's card effect and sent to the Graveyard: You can add 1 "Duston" monster from your Deck to your hand. SHORT PRINT COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It restrains its host from being useful for other means but it can still attack or change its battle position and you cannot add another copy of this to your hand. |
| SHSP-EN068 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Sacred Serpent's Wake Quick-Play Spell You can only activate 1 "Sacred Serpent's Wake" per turn. If you control 2 or more different kinds of monsters (Ritual, Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz): Activate 1 or more effects, depending on the number of different kinds you control, and resolve in sequence. ● 2 or more: Target 1 monster in your Graveyard or 1 of your banished monsters; add that target to your hand. ● 3 or more: Target 1 Trap Card in your Graveyard; add that target to your hand. ● 4: Target 1 Spell Card in your Graveyard, except "Sacred Serpent's Wake"; add that target to your hand. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | All of these effects can be achieved more easily through other cards. |
| SHSP-EN067 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Return of the Monarchs Continuous Spell You cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck. When you Tribute Summon a monster: You can activate 1 of these effects; ● Add, from your Deck to your hand, 1 monster with 2400 ATK and 1000 DEF with a different name from that Tribute Summoned monster. ● Add, from your Deck to your hand, 1 monster with 2800 ATK and 1000 DEF with a different name from that Tribute Summoned monster. The Tribute Summoned monster must be face-up on the field to activate and to resolve this effect. You can only activate this effect of "Return of the Monarchs" once per turn. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | There's lots of possibilities of what you can get with this card's effect but your Extra Deck is off limits, the monster must be on the field to resolve the effect and you can't pick up another copy of the Tribute Summoned monster. |
| SHSP-EN066 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Swords at Dawn Quick-Play Spell Target 1 Equip Spell Card in your Graveyard and 1 appropriate monster on the field; equip the Equip Spell Card to that monster. Destroy that Equip Spell Card during the End Phase. If you activate this card, you cannot Special Summon for the rest of this turn. You can only activate 1 "Swords at Dawn" per turn. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | If you truly need an Equip Spell, this can help, especially since you can get around not being able to Special Summon by activating this during your opponent's turn but unless the Equip Spell has built-in protection, it's only on the field for one turn. |
| SHSP-EN065 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Pot of Dichotomy Normal Spell At the start of your Main Phase 1: Target 3 monsters with different Types in your Graveyard; Shuffle all 3 into the Deck, then draw 2 cards. You cannot conduct your Battle Phase the turn you activate this card. SECRET RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | The more popular Pot of Avarice has been sent on the Tour Bus to Forbidden Realms and this card tries to replicate PoA's effect in a more watered down fashion but nothing quite beats the original. |
| SHSP-EN064 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Vampire Kingdom Field Spell Zombie-Type monsters gain 500 ATK during damage calculation only. Once per turn, when a card(s) is sent from your opponent's Deck to the Graveyard: Target 1 card on the field; send 1 DARK "Vampire" monster from your hand or Deck to the Graveyard, and if you do, destroy that target. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Zombies will get stronger when they battle or when attacking directly and you can get more Zombies in the Graveyard for easy revival later and destroying any card on the field but neither effect is greatly impressive. |
| SHSP-EN063 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Bujin Regalia - The Mirror Normal Spell At the start of your Main Phase 1, if your opponent controls more monsters than you do and you control a Beast-Warrior-Type "Bujin" monster: Until the end of your opponent's next turn, Spell/Trap Cards, and their effects, cannot be activated. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It must be the first thing you do after your Standby Phase and your Bujins need to be outnumbered on the field but then you might be able to turn things around but you cannot power your Bujins up as easily for a more sure-fire way to defeat your opponent's monsters. |
| SHSP-EN062 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Ghostrick Mansion Field Spell Monsters cannot attack face-down Defense Position monsters, but can attack directly if all monsters their opponent controls are face-down Defense Position. All effect damage, and battle damage inflicted by monsters other than "Ghostrick" monsters, is halved. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | The key to any Ghostrick deck as they get full protection from attacks and can deal full damage through its effect whereas their enemies cannot but unless you have it, the cards are vulnerable. |
| SHSP-EN061 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Dragon Shield Equip Spell Equip only to a Dragon-Type monster. It cannot be destroyed by battle or by card effects. Neither player takes any battle damage from attacks involving it. COMMON |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | Its host cannot deal battle damage when battling a monster but can deal direct damage if attacking directly and gets full protection from destruction! |
| SHSP-EN060 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Battlin' Boxing Spirits Normal Spell Send the top card of your Deck to the Graveyard, then target 1 "Battlin' Boxer" monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target in face-up Defense Position. You can only activate 1 "Battlin' Boxing Spirits" per turn. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | The cost is minimal and you do get a monster out of the deal but you'll probably have to use it for something or it'll get destroyed as it comes back in Defense Mode. |
| SHSP-EN059 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Gagagatag Normal Spell All "Gagaga" monsters you currently control gains 500 ATK for each "Gagaga" monster you currently control, until your next Standby Phase. You can only activate 1 "Gagagatag" per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Most of the Gagaga monsters are pretty poor but they can all chip in and give the good ones a pretty big boost but it doesn't last long though. |
| SHSP-EN058 | |
| Card Type: | Synchro Monster |
| Card Info | Giganticastle EARTH / Rock-Type Synchro / Level 9 / ATK 2900 / DEF 2800 1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters This card gains 200 ATK and DEF for each non-Tuner Synchro Material Monster used to Synchro Summon this card. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Your effort gives you a stronger monster but it takes more work to get it to be a major threat. |
| SHSP-EN057 | |
| Card Type: | Synchro Monster |
| Card Info | Puralis, the Purple Pyrotile FIRE / Reptile-Type Synchro Tuner / Level 2 / ATK 800 / DEF 1400 1 Tuner + 1 non-Tuner monster When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard: All monsters your opponent currently controls lose 500 ATK. RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | A measly 500 ATK loss for when work it took to bring it out is disposed of, even as a Tuner monster is terrible as even Formula Synchron at least lets you draw 1 card. |
| SHSP-EN056** | |
| Card Type: | Xyz Monster |
| Card Info | Divine Dragon Knight Felgrand LIGHT / Warrior-Type Xyz / Rank 8 / ATK 2800 / DEF 1800 2 Level 8 monsters Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 face-up monster on the field; this turn, its effects are negated, but it is unaffected by other card effects. SECRET RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | If this guy came from Camelot, he's a disgrace to the kingdom as all can offer is a less restrictive yet somewhat watered down Effect Veiler effect and his payment is 2 Level 8 monsters, a price too steep for so little. |
| SHSP-EN055 | |
| Card Type: | Xyz Monster |
| Card Info | Meliae of the Trees EARTH / Plant-Type Xyz / Rank 3 / ATK 1700 / DEF 900 2 Level 3 EARTH monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then activate 1 of these effects. ● Send 1 Plant-Type monster from your Deck to the Graveyard. ● Target 1 Plant-Type monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target in face-up Defense Position. SECRET RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | This card is getting lots of hype and I can see what they're getting at as it's either a Foolish Burial or a Monster Reborn for Plants. Still pretty weak as a whole though, especially for its Xyz Material requirements. |
| SHSP-EN054 | |
| Card Type: | Xyz Monster |
| Card Info | Crimson Knight Vampire Bram DARK / Zombie-Type Xyz / Rank 5 / ATK 2500 / DEF 0 2 Level 5 Zombie-Type monsters You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 monster in your opponent's Graveyard; Special Summon that target to your side of the field, but if you do, only that monster can attack for the rest of this turn. You can only use this effect of "Crimson Knight Vampire Bram" once per turn. During the Standby Phase of the next turn after this card you controlled was destroyed by your opponent's card (either by battle or by card effect) and sent to your Graveyard: Special Summon it from the Graveyard in face-up Defense Position. ULTRA RARE |

| Comments: | It's easy to make this guy with the support Zombies have and you get any monster from your opponent's Graveyard to join you. The fact that the new monster is the only monster you own that can attack is understandable and made-up for by this guy's self-revival effect, which occurs anytime your opponent destroys it and comes back quickly! |

| Card Info | Bujintei Kagutsuchi DARK / Beast-Warrior-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK 2500 / DEF 2000 2 Level 4 Beast-Warrior-Type monsters When this card is Xyz Summoned: Send the top 5 cards of your Deck to the Graveyard (or your entire Deck, if less than 5), also this card gains 100 ATK for each "Bujin" card sent to the Graveyard by this effect. If a "Bujin" Beast-Warrior-Type monster(s) you control would be destroyed by battle or by card effect, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card instead of destroying 1 of those monsters. You can only control 1 "Bujintei Kagutsuchi". ULTRA RARE |

| Comments: | First you lose the next 5 cards of your deck and for what you lose, he gains a measly 100 ATK for each of his friends milled, which is going to be low regardless of how many you sent. His final effect is not enough to make up for his failures. |

| Comments: | Clearly meant to be used with Mythic Tree Dragon but that's not good enough to make up for everything else that is bad about it. |

| Comments: | Under the right circumstances, which are rare thanks to his special requirements, he can make for a Rank 5+ Xyz Summon but is pretty weak overall. |

| Comments: | While his DEF isn't too bad for a Level 4 monster, there's higher DEF out now and all he can do is pick a Continuous Spell that will be easy pickings for your opponent. |

| Card Info | Labradorite Dragon DARK / Dragon-Type Tuner / Level 6 / ATK 0 / DEF 2400 The ancients compared this prized creature to moonlight rippling across water. A bringer of harmony, reminder of past glories, able to soothe the hearts of even the most ambitious men. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It's at least a Tuner but a rather sad Tuner as it has nothing else to offer besides its high Level and 2400 DEF. |
