TDGS-EN019
Mind Protector
LIGHT / Psychic / Level 3 / ATK 0 / DEF 2200
This card's controller must pay 500 Life Points during each of their Standby Phases. If they cannot, destroy this card. Monsters with 2000 or less ATK cannot declare an attack, except for Psychic-Type monsters.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: 2200 DEF normally let this guy get 3 stars but his effect bumps it down.  
TDGS-EN018
Krebons
DARK / Psychic-Type Tuner / Level 2 / ATK 1200 / DEF 400
When this card is selected as an attack target, you can pay 800 Life Points to negate the attack.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: Paying 800 LPs is a far cry when it means this guys stay on the field! 
TDGS-EN017
Doctor Cranium
EARTH / Psychic / Level 1 / ATK 100 / DEF 100
When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can pay 800 Life Points to add 1 Psychic-Type monster from your Deck to your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: At least this one doesn't require anything else to add the Psychic-Type monster to your hand but still not very good.  
TDGS-EN016
Mind Master
LIGHT / Psychic-Type Tuner / Level 1 / ATK 100 / DEF 200
You can pay 800 Life Points and Tribute 1 Psychic-Type monster, except "Mind Master", to Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Psychic-Type monster from your Deck in face-up Attack Position.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: He does search out your Psychic-Type monsters but his stats only grant him a trip to the Grave and you major damage.
TDGS-EN015
Gonogo
EARTH / Rock / Level 3 / ATK 1350 / DEF 1600
An opponent's monster that battles this card is changed to face-down Defense Position at the end of the Damage Step.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It'll at least put that powerful monster like Jinzo face down to be destroyed later or prevent the effect from activating but if it let me choose the monster to put face down, I'd rate it higher.
TDGS-EN014*
Montage Dragon
EARTH / Dragon / Level 8 / ATK ? / DEF 0
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by sending 3 other monsters from your hand to the Graveyard. This card's ATK is equal to the combined Levels of the sent monsters x 300.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 4
Comments: A very powerful monster if used correctly! That 0 DEF is why it's rating isn't 5 stars.
TDGS-EN013
Handcuffs Dragon
WIND / Dragon / Level 5 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1800
When this card is destroyed by battle with an attacking monster your opponent controls and is sent to the Graveyard, you can equip this card to that monster. The equipped monster loses 1800 ATK. When it is destroyed and this card is sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon this card.
RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: Its stats are weak for its level but that makes it easier for it to get destroyed in battle, thus triggering his effect! Plus it drains the equipped monster's ATK by 1800!
TDGS-EN012
Jutte Fighter
EARTH / Warrior-Type Tuner / Level 2 / ATK 700 / DEF 900
Once per turn, you can change 1 face-up Attack Position monster your opponent controls to face-up Defense Position.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: A fighter that has 700 ATK and 900 DEF? Not much of a fighter to me and certainly not a card for your deck.
TDGS-EN011
Twin-Shield Defender
EARTH / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 700 / DEF 1600
When this card you control is destroyed by battle and sent to your Graveyard, you can halve the current ATK of 1 face-up monster your opponent controls, until the End Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: I certainly doubt a monster with his stats has little of any chance staying on the field but this guy doesn't need to and his effect is pretty good!
TDGS-EN010
Dark Resonator
DARK / Fiend-Type Tuner / Level 3 / ATK 1300 / DEF 300
Once per turn, if this card would be destroyed by battle, it is not destroyed. (Damage calculation is applied normally.)
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: While not a bad card, Spirit Reaper is better.
TDGS-EN009
Sinister Sprocket
DARK / Fiend-Type Tuner / Level 1 / ATK 400 / DEF 0
If this card is sent to the Graveyard for the Synchro Summon of a DARK Synchro Monster, you can destroy 1 face-up Spell or Trap Card.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: This one is worse than Nitro Synchron. So yet another card whose rarity should be lower due to bad stats and effect.
TDGS-EN008
Big Piece Golem
EARTH / Rock / Level 5 / ATK 2100 / DEF 0
If your opponent controls a monster and you control no monsters, you can Normal Summon this card without Tributing.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: A Cyber Dragon wannabe. Where you aren't using this, use Cyber Dragon instead.
TDGS-EN007
Medium Piece Golem
EARTH / Rock / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 0
When this card is Summoned, if you control a "Big Piece Golem", you can Special Summon 1 "Small Piece Golem" from your Deck. That monster's effect is negated while it is face-up on the field.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Same as TDGS-EN006's comments.
TDGS-EN006
Small Piece Golem
EARTH / Rock / Level 3 / ATK 1100 / DEF 0
When this card is Summoned, if you control a "Big Piece Golem", you can Special Summon 1 "Medium Piece Golem" from your Deck. That monster's effect is negated while it is face-up on the field.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: What's this? Another okay monster? Forget him.
TDGS-EN005
Shield Warrior
EARTH / Warrior / Level 3 / ATK 800 / DEF 1600
During damage calculation, you can remove from play this card from your Graveyard to prevent monsters you control from being destroyed by this battle.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Like Avenging Knight Parshath, and perhaps all cards with this rating, his effect is the only thing preventing his rating from being lower.
TDGS-EN004
Ghost Gardna
DARK / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 0 / DEF 1900
When a face-up monster you control is selected as an attack target, you can change the target to this card. When this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, 1 face-up monster your opponent controls loses 1000 ATK, until the End Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: Ironically, had his DEF been lower, I'd rate him higher since he'd die more easily! Plus his -1000 ATK activates just when destroyed and sent to the Grave!
TDGS-EN003
Quillbolt Hedgehog
EARTH / Machine / Level 2 / ATK 800 / DEF 800
If you control a face-up Tuner monster, you can Special Summon this card from your Graveyard. If this card was Summoned this way, remove it from play when it is removed from the field.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: His level states all on the rating. He helps bring out Synchro Monsters but unless you can get him back from the different dimension, he's not going to help you much.
TDGS-EN002
Nitro Synchron
FIRE / Machine-Type Tuner / Level 2 / ATK 300 / DEF 100
If this card is sent to the Graveyard for the Synchro Summon of a "Nitro" Synchro Monster, draw 1 card.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: He's very restricted on his effect, so I don't know why he's a Super Rare. Had he let you draw 1 card if used for Synchro Summon of any monster, I could believe its rarity being Super and would rate it higher.
TDGS-EN001
Turbo Booster
EARTH / Machine / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
If you have Normal Summoned a monster this turn, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. You can Tribute this card to destroy 1 monster your opponent controls that battled one of your monsters this turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: He makes summoning Plasma easier or gives you an extra defense / helps take out an opponent's monster but is overall pretty bad.
TDGS-EN000
Avenging Knight Parshath
LIGHT / Fairy-Type Synchro / Level 8 / ATK 2600 / DEF 2100
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner LIGHT monsters
Once per turn, you can change the battle position of 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. During battle between this attacking card and a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of this card, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: I really don't see how he's going to be avenging much as he's hard to summon to begin with! He at least has the trample effect but that's the only reason he didn't get a 1.
