TSHD-EN099
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Koa'ki Meiru Bergzak
EARTH / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 2000 / DEF 200
During each of your End Phases, destroy this card unless you send 1 "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" from your hand to the Graveyard or reveal 1 Warrior-Type monster from your hand. If this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, it can attack once again in a row.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: At least you'll get 2 attacks with this in one turn before potentially self-destructs during the End Phase.
TSHD-EN098
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Infernity Destroyer
DARK / Fiend / Level 6 / ATK 2300 / DEF 1000
While you have no cards in your hand, when this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, inflict 1600 damage to your opponent.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It deals the most burn damage for one attack so far (next to Flame Wingman/Shining Flare Wingman) but it's stats are pretty bad for a Level 6 monster.
TSHD-EN097
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Genex Neutron
LIGHT / Machine / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1200
During the End Phase of the turn this card was Normal Summoned, you can add 1 Machine-Type Tuner monster from your Deck to your hand.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: Out of all the SCR cards in this set, I feel this card is the best one, which is sad because it's less expensive than Infernity Barrier, which I only gave 2/5.
TSHD-EN096
Card Type: Synchro Monster
Card Info Ally of Justice Light Gazer
DARK / Machine-Type Synchro / Level 8 / ATK 2400 / DEF 1600
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
This card gains 200 ATK for each LIGHT monster in your opponent's Graveyard.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: The best chance to use this is with Lightsworn but even their popularity is fading.
TSHD-EN095
Card Type: Synchro Monster
Card Info Hydro Genex
WATER / Machine-Type Synchro / Level 6 / ATK 2300 / DEF 1800
"Genex Controller" + 1 or more non-Tuner WATER monsters
When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, gain Life Points equal to the ATK of the destroyed monster.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: We have a better Synchro that does the same thing called Thought Ruler Archfiend and he can protect himself and other Psychic monsters but this guy is just standing water.
TSHD-EN094
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info X-Saber Pashuul
EARTH / Warrior-Type Tuner / Level 2 / ATK 100 / DEF 0
This card cannot be destroyed by battle. If this card is in face-up Defense Position, you take 1000 damage during each of your opponent's Standby Phases.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Either way you'll take damage so you'd better use him as Synchro Material quickly or perhaps bring out Prime Material Dragon for LP gain.
TSHD-EN093
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info X-Saber Palomuro
EARTH / Reptile-Type Tuner / Level 1 / ATK 200 / DEF 300
When another "Saber" monster you control is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can pay 500 Life Points to Special Summon this card from the Graveyard.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: A slightly better Plaguespreader Zombie, who can come back for a fee anytime a Saber monster dies in battle and sent to the Graveyard. Sure PZ needs nothing but his rebirth is often a one-time deal.
TSHD-EN092
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Genex Searcher
EARTH / Machine / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 400
When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 "Genex" monster with 1500 or less ATK from your Deck in face-up Attack Position.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Now this guy beats Genex Undine but he has limited targets to choose from.
TSHD-EN091
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Genex Undine
WATER / Aqua / Level 3 / ATK 1200 / DEF 600
When this card is Normal Summoned, you can send 1 WATER monster from your Deck to the Graveyard to add 1 "Genex Controller" from your Deck to your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Even if you want Genex Controller in your hand or better yet on the field, use Sangan or Mystic Tomato respectively instead as this guy's effect will be its undoing.
TSHD-EN090
Card Type: Normal Monster
Card Info Genex Controller
DARK / Machine-Type Tuner / Level 3 / ATK 1400 / DEF 1200
As a master of all powers and elements, this is one of the few Genex monsters that can communicate with its companions.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: A Tuner that is likely to get more support in future sets.
TSHD-EN089
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Infernity Barrier
Counter Trap
Activate only when your opponent activates a Spell Card, Trap Card, or Effect Monster's effect, if you control a face-up Attack Position "Infernity" monster and have no cards in your hand. Negate the activation and destroy that card.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It negates pretty much anything but only works when you have no cards in your hand and control an Infernity monster.
TSHD-EN088
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Wave-Motion Inferno
Continuous Spell
While you have no cards in your hand, face-up "Infernity" monsters you control gain 400 ATK and DEF. You can send this face-up card from the field to the Graveyard to send all cards from your hand to the Graveyard.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: It should wave goodbye because no one will play it and will likely sit in trade binders for months to come while bringing a raging inferno where people will be raging that they pulled this bad card.
TSHD-EN087
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Core Overclock
Continuous Spell
All face-up "Koa'ki Meiru" monsters you control gain 500 ATK. Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can discard 1 "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" to have all face-up "Koa'ki Meiru" monsters you control gain 1000 ATK until the End Phase.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Koa'ki Meirus get a boost but since they generally need their iron or "same-type friend" to prevent End Phase self-destruction, the extra ATK won't mean too much.
TSHD-EN086
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Saber Vault
Field Spell
Each face-up "X-Saber" monster on the field gains 100 ATK x its Level, and loses 100 DEF x its Level.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: With certain X-Sabers, this card isn't too bad but if your opponent takes one of them, it still retains the boost but even if this only applied to your X-Sabers, the most this card should've been is Super Rare.
TSHD-EN085
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Akz, the Pumer
EARTH / Beast-Warrior / Level 6 / ATK 1500 / DEF 1000
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned by removing from play 2 Beast-Warrior-Type monsters in your Graveyard. Once per turn, you can discard 1 Beast-Warrior-Type monster from your hand to activate 1 of the following effects: ● Double this card's ATK until the End Phase. ● This card can attack your opponent directly this turn.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: For what this guy requires, I'm willing to rename him to "Akz, the Doomed" as with 1500 ATK, he's prey for BTH.
TSHD-EN084
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Nimble Sunfish
WATER / Fish / Level 2 / ATK 1000 / DEF 100
When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, send 1 Fish-Type monster from your Deck to the Graveyard. Then, you can Special Summon 1 "Nimble Sunfish" from your Deck.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: I have no idea why he's a Super Rare as his effect is terrible and he isn't even a Tuner. Being nimble won't save him if he's on the field.
TSHD-EN083
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Snyffus
EARTH / Beast-Type Tuner / Level 1 / ATK 100 / DEF 100
Once per turn, you can Tribute 1 Plant-Type monster to select and destroy 1 face-up card your opponent controls. When a Plant-Type monster(s) on the field is destroyed while this card is in the Graveyard, you can Special Summon this card from the Graveyard. If you do, it is removed from play when it is removed from the field.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: A weaker Plaguespreader Zombie that preys on Plants getting destroyed or you can use him for any Synchro Monster but until that Synchro Summon, he's a sitting duck waiting to be taken out.
TSHD-EN082
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Koa'ki Meiru Prototype
EARTH / Rock / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1800
If a face-up "Koa'ki Meiru" monster(s) on the field would be destroyed during the End Phase, you can destroy this card instead. When a face-up "Koa'ki Meiru" monster(s) on the field is destroyed during the End Phase, you can Special Summon 1 "Koa'ki Meiru Token" (Rock-Type/EARTH/Level 4/ATK 1800/
DEF 1800).
RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: For a prototype, he's pretty good as he can stand alone without being destroyed during the End Phase because he doesn't have that effect!
TSHD-EN081*
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info XX-Saber Darksoul
EARTH / Beast / Level 3 / ATK 100 / DEF 100
If this card you control is sent to the Graveyard, during the End Phase you can add 1 "X-Saber" monster from your Deck to your hand.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: X-Saber Decks need this card as you can add 1 X-Saber monster from your Deck to your hand during the End Phase of the turn he is sent to the Graveyard but he's only for X-Sabers.
TSHD-EN080
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Chaos Trap Hole
Counter Trap
Pay 2000 Life Points. Negate the Summon of a LIGHT or DARK monster and remove it from play.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: How many times will you be willing to pay 2000 LPs to stop the summoning of a LIGHT or DARK monster? The more costly, Solemn Judgment can negate virtually anything so use that instead.
TSHD-EN079
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Synchro Ejection
Normal Trap
Select 1 face-up Synchro Monster your opponent controls and remove it from play. Your opponent draws 1 card.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Priority is likely going to screw this card over as they go off before this card so use Solemn Judgment instead.
TSHD-EN078
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Crevice Into the Different Dimension
Normal Trap
Declare 1 Attribute and select a total of 2 monsters with that Attribute from either Graveyard. Remove those monsters from play.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: There are some minor uses with this but there are about as many uses for this as there are crevices on this card's art.
TSHD-EN077
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Koa'ki Meiru Shield
Normal Trap
Activate only when your opponent's monster declares an attack if you have 2 or more "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" in your Graveyard. Destroy all face-up Attack Position monsters your opponent controls.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Run Mirror Force instead, plain and simple as this shield won't save you if you have only 1 Iron Core in your Grave. Mirror Force doesn't care what you have on the field, hand or Graveyard.
TSHD-EN076
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Power Break
Normal Trap
Activate only while you control a face-up "Power Tool Dragon". Select up to 3 Equip Cards on your side of the field and/or in your Graveyard and return them to the Deck, and inflict 500 damage to your opponent for each card returned.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: More like Power FAILURE as this card is terrible for only working with Power Tool Dragon and the most you can inflict is 1500 damage.
TSHD-EN075
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Morphtronics, Scramble!
Normal Trap
Activate only when your opponent declares a direct attack while you control no monsters. Negate the attack and Special Summon 1 "Morphtronic" monster from your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Take off the "ble" in Scramble and that'll tell you what the Morphtronics should really do as they aren't all that good so why even show up on the field?
TSHD-EN074
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Blossom Bombardment
Normal Trap
Activate only when a Plant-Type monster you control destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard. Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the destroyed monster's original ATK.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Generally, you'll need a strong Plant-Type monster to pretty well guarantee that you'll destroy it in battle.
TSHD-EN073
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Assault Spirits
Normal Trap
After activation, this card becomes an Equip Card and is equipped to 1 monster you control. Once per turn, if the equipped monster attacks, during the Damage Step you can send 1 monster with 1000 or less ATK from your hand to the Graveyard to increase the equipped monster's ATK by the sent monster's ATK until the End Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Odds are you won't have a 1000 or less ATK monster to throw away but there are a few that could make this card useful.
TSHD-EN072
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Phantom Hand
Continuous Trap
Once per turn, if you control a face-up "Infernity" monster(s), you can remove from play all cards in your hand (face-down) until your next Standby Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Here's another card I'd be running if I were running Infernities. Gives me a temporary card-free hand so I can use the effects of my Infernity cards each turn but it's only for Infernities.
TSHD-EN071
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Infernity Inferno
Normal Trap
Discard up to 2 cards and send the same number of "Infernity" cards from your Deck to the Graveyard.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Helpful to lower your hand size but it may not be enough to use the effects of your Infernity cards.
TSHD-EN070
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Damage Gate
Normal Trap
Activate only when you take Battle Damage. Special Summon 1 monster from your Graveyard with ATK less than or equal to the amount of damage you took.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: Tragoedia in Trap Card form and it's pretty good for it doesn't matter how much Battle Damage you take!
TSHD-EN069
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Infernity Break
Normal Trap
Activate only if you have no cards in your hand. Select 1 "Infernity" card in your Graveyard and remove it from play. Select 1 card your opponent controls and destroy it.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Even for Infernities this card is bad! Literally it might break your Infernity Deck if you have one.
TSHD-EN068
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Infernity Reflector
Normal Trap
Activate only by discarding all the cards in your hand when an "Infernity" monster is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard. Select and Special Summon that monster from your Graveyard and inflict 1000 damage to your opponent.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: This is probably one of the better Infernity support cards as it empties your hand, brings back an Infernity monster and deals your opponent 1000 damage but since it does nothing elsewhere, it gets 2/5.
TSHD-EN067
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Guard Mines
Normal Trap
Activate only when a card is activated with an effect that would target and destroy 1 monster you control. Negate the effect and destroy that card. Then inflict 500 damage to your opponent.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Guard Mine cannot guard against cards like Book of Moon or other cards that don't target like Fissure and Smashing Ground.
TSHD-EN066
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Black Thunder
Normal Trap
Activate only when a "Blackwing" monster you control is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard. Inflict 400 damage to your opponent for each card your opponent controls.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: In most cases, you won't deal much but it might end up being more than the damage you took from losing your Blackwing monster.
TSHD-EN065
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Blackwing - Bombardment
Normal Trap
Tribute 1 "Blackwing" monster to select 1 face-up Synchro Monster you control. That Synchro Monster gains ATK equal to the Tributed monster's ATK, until the End Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: This card might be useful as it can give more ATK than Kalut to a monster you control but it has to be a Synchro Monster so this card also gets 2/5 stars.
TSHD-EN064
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Blackwing - Backlash
Normal Trap
Activate only when your opponent declares a direct attack while you have 5 or more "Blackwing" monsters in your Graveyard. Destroy all monsters your opponent controls.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Just having 5 Blackwings in your Grave makes it a pretty steep card to use but adding in that you have to be about to taking a direct attack leaves this card with only a 2/5.
TSHD-EN063
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Power Frame
Normal Trap
Activate only when a face-up monster you control is selected as an attack target by an opponent's monster with a higher ATK. Negate that attack, and equip this card to your monster that was being attacked. The equipped monster gains ATK equal to the difference in ATK between the two monsters.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: Save your monster in two ways: from dying in battle and gaining more ATK in case you don't have Honest to help you.
TSHD-EN062
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Corridor of Agony
Continuous Spell
Monsters that were Special Summoned from the Main Deck cannot activate their effects, their effects are negated, and they cannot declare an attack, as long as they remain face-up on the field.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Gladiator Beast Decks are sure to be hurt by this card unless they can bring out Gyzarius or Heriklinos but there aren't many uses for this card.
TSHD-EN061
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Leeching the Light
Normal Spell
Select 1 face-up LIGHT monster your opponent controls. All face-up Attack Position monsters you control gain ATK equal to the ATK of the selected monster, until the End Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 4
Comments: I don't understand why this card wasn't a higher rarity (not that I'm complaining) or why more people don't run this card, it's simply AMAZING! Can't give it 5/5 since it only works on LIGHT monsters.
TSHD-EN060
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Forbidden Graveyard
Quick-Play Spell
Activate by discarding 1 card. Effects that activate in the Graveyard this turn are negated.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Stops monsters like Sangan, Honest and the Dark World monsters but it's only temporary.
TSHD-EN059
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Dawn of the Herald
Ritual Spell
This card is used to Ritual Summon "Herald of Perfection". You must also Tribute monsters whose total Levels equal exactly 6 from the field or your hand. When "Herald of Perfection" is Ritual Summoned by this card's effect, you can remove from play this card in your Graveyard to select 1 of the monsters Tributed for that Ritual Summon, and return it from your Graveyard to your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: By default, I rate all Ritual Spells the same as their Ritual Monsters and vice-versa and this one's rating would've been higher if it Special Summoned one of the monsters used for the Ritual Summon.
TSHD-EN058
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Koa'ki Meiru Initialize!
Quick-Play Spell
Tribute 1 "Koa'ki Meiru" monster to add 1 "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Koa'ki Meiru Decks probably need this card if they're going to lose their Koa'ki Meiru monster and don't have KM Prototype, Iron Core, or any of the cards needed to keep the said KM out.
TSHD-EN057
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Magic Triangle of the Ice Barrier
Normal Spell
Reveal 3 "Ice Barrier" monsters with different names in your hand to select 1 card your opponent controls. Destroy the opponent's card and Special Summon 1 "Ice Barrier" monster from your hand.

Rating: 2
Comments: Like Worm Call, not much is good enough to meet this card's requirements but only time and Konami's will to release better ones will tell.
TSHD-EN056
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Worm Call
Continuous Spell
Once per turn, if your opponent controls a monster and you control no monsters, you can Special Summon 1 Reptile-Type "Worm" monster from your hand in face-down Defense Position.

Comments: So far, there haven't really been that many powerful monsters that fit this card's requirements but maybe later on there will be.
TSHD-EN055
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Electromagnetic Shield
Continuous Spell
Level 3 or lower face-up Defense Position Thunder-Type monsters you control cannot be destroyed by battle. Destroy this card if you control a face-up Attack Position monster.

TSHD-EN054

Card Info Wattcube
Equip Spell
Equip only to a Thunder-Type monster. It gains 100 ATK for each Thunder-Type monster in your Graveyard. You can send this face-up card you control to the Graveyard to have 1 face-up Thunder-Type monster you control gain 1000 ATK.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: The Calculator can probably benefit from this card but because he's lost so much of his playability, this card probably won't get used much.
TSHD-EN053
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Dragon Laser
Quick-Play Spell
Send 1 "Trigon" equipped to a face-up "Delta Tri" you control to the Graveyard, and destroy all monsters your opponent controls.

Card Info The Fountain in the Sky
Continuous Spell
When a LIGHT monster is destroyed by battle and sent to your Graveyard, you can remove that monster from play to gain Life Points equal to its ATK.

TSHD-EN051
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Pyramid of Wonders
Continuous Spell
All face-up Zombie-Type monsters you control gain 200 ATK for each monster your opponent controls. If (exactly) 1 face-up Zombie-Type monster you control would be destroyed, you can send this card to the Graveyard instead.

Comments: It's a wonder why this card even exists as it doesn't do much at all when we have Solidarity, which does the job much better.
TSHD-EN050*

Card Info Intercept Wave
Quick-Play Spell
All Synchro Monsters on the field are changed to Defense Position. And then, return all face-up Synchro Monsters to the Extra Deck during the End Phase.

Normal Spell
Activate only if you have 3 or more cards in your hand. Draw 1 card. During the End Phase of this turn, discard all the cards in your hand.

Card Info Infernity Launcher
Continuous Spell
Once per turn, you can send 1 "Infernity" monster from your hand to the Graveyard. If there are no cards in your hand, you can send this card to the Graveyard to select up to 2 "Infernity" monster(s) in your Graveyard and Special Summon them.

TSHD-EN047
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info ZERO-MAX
Normal Spell
Activate only if you have no cards in your hand. Select 1 "Infernity" monster in your Graveyard. Special Summon it, and destroy all face-up monsters on the field with ATK lower than the Special Summoned monster's ATK. You cannot conduct your Battle Phase the same turn you activate this card.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: I have yet to see this card in Infernity Decks so either it's not drawn or no one is running it and why should they? ZERO-MAX really should be ZERO-PLAYABILITY.
TSHD-EN046*

Card Info Cards for Black Feathers
Normal Spell
Remove from play 1 "Blackwing" monster in your hand to draw 2 cards. You cannot Special Summon during the same turn you activate this card. You can only activate 1 "Cards for Black Feathers" per turn.
ULTRA RARE

WIND / Plant-Type Synchro / Level 6 / ATK 2200 / DEF 2000
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
Once per turn, you can remove from play 1 Plant-Type monster in your Graveyard to halve the ATK of 1 face-up monster your opponent controls, until the End Phase of this turn. If this card attacks, during the same Battle Phase you can remove from play 1 Plant-Type monster in your Graveyard to halve the ATK of this card (until the End Phase) and attack once again.
ULTRA RARE

Card Info Infernity Doom Dragon
DARK / Dragon-Type Synchro / Level 8 / ATK 3000 / DEF 2400
1 DARK Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
Once per turn, if you have no cards in your hand, you can select 1 monster your opponent controls. Destroy that monster and inflict damage to your opponent equal to half its ATK. This card cannot attack the same turn you activate this effect.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Probably the most powerful of the Infernities thus far but still not good enough to give him a higher rating.

Card Type: Synchro Monster
Card Info Chaos King Archfiend
DARK / Fiend-Type Synchro / Level 7 / ATK 2600 / DEF 2600
1 Fiend-Type Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
When this card declares an attack, you can switch the ATK and DEF of all face-up monsters your opponent controls, until the end of the Battle Phase.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: Run over virtually any monster with his effect and if the monsters are in Attack Mode, you'll do some major damage! Too bad he's Tuner-specific, which is why his rating isn't as high as it would've been.
TSHD-EN040**
Card Type: Synchro Monster
Card Info Black-Winged Dragon
DARK / Dragon-Type Synchro / Level 8 / ATK 2800 / DEF 1600
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
Whenever you would take damage from a card effect, place 1 Black Feather Counter on this card instead. This card loses 700 ATK for each Black Feather Counter on it. Once per turn, you can remove all Black Feather Counters on this card to have 1 face-up monster your opponent controls lose 700 ATK for each Black Feather Counter, and inflict damage to your opponent equal to the ATK lost by that monster because of this effect.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: His only real use is to counter Burn Decks as that's where he gets his counters from. What really hurts him (and your LPs later in the duel) is that get gets 700 ATK weaker for each of his counters on him.
TSHD-EN039*
Card Type: Ritual Monster
Card Info Herald of Perfection
