STBL-EN019
Karakuri Soldier mdl 236 "Nisamu"
EARTH / Machine / Level 4 / ATK 1400 / DEF 200
This card must attack if able. When this face-up Attack Position card on the field is selected as an attack target, change it to Defense Position. When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Karakuri" monster from your Deck in face-up Attack Position.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: He has to attack if he can but not only does he switch to Defense Mode if attacked but he works like Giant Rat to search out any Level 4 or less Karakuri monster from your Deck if sent to the Grave by battle!
STBL-EN018*
Glow-Up Bulb
EARTH / Plant-Type Tuner / Level 1 / ATK 100 / DEF 100
You can send the top card of your Deck to the Graveyard and Special Summon this card from the Graveyard. Each player can only use the effect of "Glow-Up Bulb" once per Duel.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: I must've missed why this card is considered good as it's a once-per-duel revival effect yet somehow this guy is at least $30! It's at least a Tuner monster but not a good one.
STBL-EN017
Blackwing - Abrolhos the Megaquake
DARK / Winged Beast / Level 7 / ATK 2600 / DEF 1800
This card cannot be Special Summoned. Any monster that battles with this card is not destroyed by that battle, and returns to the hand after damage calculation. Once per turn, during your Main Phase 1, you can have this card lose 1000 ATK, and return all cards in your opponent's Spell and Trap Card Zone to the hand.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: You can't even use the effect in Main Phase 2! Worse yet that each time it uses the effect to return Spells and Traps to the hand, it gets weaker! Its stats are terrible for a LV7 monster.
STBL-EN016
Blackwing - Aurora the Northern Lights
LIGHT / Winged Beast / Level 10 / ATK ? / DEF 0
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by removing from play 2 face-up monsters you control (1 "Blackwing" Tuner and 1 non-Tuner). Once per turn, you can remove from play 1 "Blackwing" Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck. This card's name, ATK, and effects become the same as that monster's, until the End Phase.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Pretty steep summoning requirements (needs a Blackwing Tuner and non-Tuner) and it doesn't even keep the effects of the RFG Synchro.
STBL-EN015
Blackwing - Etesian of Two Swords
DARK / Winged Beast / Level 3 / ATK 400 / DEF 1600
If a "Blackwing" monster you control battles an opponent's monster, and that opponent's monster is still on the field at the end of the Damage Step, you can send this card from your hand to the Graveyard to inflict 1000 damage to your opponent.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: If the monster you attacked is still on the field, just use Bora the Spear or Armed Wing and drop a Kalut from your hand when it attacks so you can still damage your opponent instead.
STBL-EN014
Attack Gainer
EARTH / Warrior-Type Tuner / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
If this card is sent to the Graveyard as a Synchro Material Monster, select 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. The selected opponent's monster loses 1000 ATK until the End Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: At least if you use 2 of these for Red Nova Dragon then your opponent's monster will be 2000 ATK weaker but it's only until the End Phase.
STBL-EN013
Creation Resonator
WIND / Fiend-Type Tuner / Level 3 / ATK 800 / DEF 600
If you control a face-up Level 8 or higher Synchro Monster, you can Special Summon this card from your hand.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Have multiples in your hand and a Level 8 Synchro on your field and you might be able to bring out Red Nova Dragon but you'd probably be better off with Krebons instead.
STBL-EN012
Synchro Soldier
EARTH / Machine / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
Once per turn, during your Main Phase 1, you can select 1 face-up Synchro Monster you control. Remove that face-up Synchro Monster you control from play and inflict 600 damage to your opponent. If you use this effect, during your next Standby Phase the removed from play monster returns to the field.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Well we can't put him in the army because his stats are under 1800 but we can certainly put him in the trash can because his effect makes him well-deserving of that.  
STBL-EN011
Extra Veiler
LIGHT / Spellcaster / Level 2 / ATK 600 / DEF 200
When your opponent Special Summons a monster(s), you can Special Summon this card from your hand. During the turn this card is Special Summoned by this effect, your opponent takes any effect damage you would have taken from their card effects, instead.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: This guy would get much more playability if Frog decks were still around (and they may still be but they're scarce) but since Synchro Summons are still going, there's some minor uses with this.
STBL-EN010
Power Breaker
EARTH / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1900 / DEF 0
When this card is destroyed by your opponent's attack or card effect and sent to the Graveyard, select 1 face-up Spell/Trap Card your opponent controls, and destroy it. If this card attacks, it is changed to Defense Position at the end of the Damage Step.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: With Spear Dragon's stats and Goblin Attack Force's "change to Defense Mode after attacking" effect, this guy's playability is severely limited.
STBL-EN009
Lancer Archfiend
DARK / Fiend / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1400
Once per turn, when a monster you control declares an attack targeting a Defense Position monster your opponent controls, you can activate this effect. If you do, during this battle, if the ATK of the attacking monster is greater than the DEF of the Defense Position monster it battles, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: The sad thing is that he doesn't get the effect himself but even if he did, there are stronger monsters out there with the effect built-in.
STBL-EN008
Vice Berserker
DARK / Fiend / Level 4 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1000
If this card is sent to the Graveyard as a Synchro Material Monster, inflict 2000 damage to the player that Synchro Summoned, and the Synchro Monster that used this card as a Synchro Material Monster gains 2000 ATK until the End Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: 2000 ATK for the Synchro Monster this guy is used for isn't too bad but the 2000 damage certainly is so you'd better have Prime Material Dragon out beforehand.
STBL-EN007*
Power Giant
EARTH / Rock / Level 6 / ATK 2200 / DEF 0
You can send 1 Level 4 or lower monster from your hand to the Graveyard to Special Summon this card from your hand, and decrease this card's Level by the Level of that monster. If this card attacks or is attacked, until the end of the Damage Step any effect damage you take becomes 0.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: A sort of weaker version of The Tricky but at least he can make cards like Magic Cylinder virtually useless can slip under Gravity Bind and Level Limit Area - B if Special Summoned his way.
STBL-EN006
Rescue Warrior
EARTH / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1700
You take no Battle Damage from battles involving this card. If this card is destroyed by battle, select 1 face-up monster your opponent controls that you own, and take control of it.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: If nothing else, at least you don't take Battle Damage when he battles.  
STBL-EN005
Necro Linker
DARK / Fiend / Level 2 / ATK 600 / DEF 0
You can Tribute this card to select 1 "Synchron" Tuner monster in your Graveyard. Special Summon that monster. It cannot be used as a Synchro Material Monster during the turn it is Special Summoned by this effect.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Works for fetching Junk or Quickdraw Synchron but it's specific to Synchrons only. 
STBL-EN004
Needle Soldier
EARTH / Machine / Level 1 / ATK 100 / DEF 100
If this card is used as a Synchro Material Monster for a Synchro Monster, during battle between that Synchro Monster and a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of that Synchro Monster, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent.
COMMONs
Rating: 2
Comments: It gives the Synchro Summoned Synchro monster Piercing Damage if this guy is used for that Synchro Summon but there are better ways to make your Synchro gain that effect like Fairy Meteor Crush.  
STBL-EN003
Reed Butterfly
WIND / Insect / Level 1 / ATK 300 / DEF 600
If your opponent controls a face-up Synchro Monster(s) and you control no face-up Synchro Monsters, you can Special Summon this card from your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: This card isn't all bad since Synchros are very popular but it doesn't have much going for it.  
STBL-EN002
Mirror Ladybug
LIGHT / Insect / Level 1 / ATK 100 / DEF 100
If you control at least 1 face-up monster and have no monsters in your Graveyard, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. When this card is Special Summoned this way, this card's Level becomes equal to the total Levels of all other monsters you control. If the Level of this card is higher than 12, destroy this card.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Having the Total Levels of all monsters you control does it no good when its stats don't change and he self-destructs if his Level goes over 12. Even the superstitious will have better luck if they break this mirror.
STBL-EN001
Swift Scarecrow
EARTH / Machine / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
When your opponent's monster declares a direct attack, you can discard this card to negate that attack and end the Battle Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: A cheaper version of Battle Fader (who isn't that expensive anymore) that doesn't get RFG, is searchable and also ends the Battle Phase! 
STBL-EN000
Archfiend Empress
DARK / Fiend / Level 8 / ATK 2900 / DEF 2100
If (exactly) 1 face-up DARK Fiend-Type monster on the field, except this card, would be destroyed, you can remove from play 1 DARK Fiend-Type monster from your Graveyard, instead. When this card is destroyed and sent from the field to the Graveyard, you can select 1 Level 6 or higher DARK Fiend-Type monster in your Graveyard, except "Archfiend Empress", and Special Summon it.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: She's Level 8 so Hardened Armed Dragon can give her some protection but she only can protect your 1 DARK Fiend monster if you have DARK Fiends to RFG in your Grave.
