                                                       Rating: 3

                                                       Rating: 2
It's best to use this card on an already strong Destiny Hero like Dogma.

Trap Card

                                                       Rating: 2
If your only Destiny Hero monsters can be Special Summoned, then this card has minor uses.

Trap Card

Trap Card

                                                       Rating: 2
The big downside is that you don't summon the monster so you may be wide open for direct attacks.

Spell Card
Destiny Draw

Discard 1 "Destiny Hero" card. Draw 2 cards.
(Ultra Rare)
                                                       Rating: 3
You get to draw 2 cards for the price of discarding a Destiny Hero. Not a bad trade-off.
 
                                                       DP05-EN019
Spell Card

When a "Destiny Hero" monster attacks, if its ATK is lower than the ATK of the attack target, the attacking monster gains 1000 ATK during damage calculation only.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 2
Destiny Hero Decks shouldn't be without this card as they're pretty weak overall.
 
                                                       DP05-EN018
Spell Card
Cyclone Blade
Equip Spell
Equip only to a "Destiny Hero" monster. If it attacks, destroy 1 Spell or Trap Card on the field at the end of the Damage Step.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 2
If the card you destroy this way is a card that prevents your opponent's monsters from being destroyed in battle, this card can be useful but that's about it. 
 
                                                       DP05-EN017
Spell Card
D - Spirit
Normal Spell
If you do not control any face-up "Destiny Hero" monsters, you can Special summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Destiny Hero" monster from your hand.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 2
It can be a lifesaver if you have no monsters but a dead draw otherwise.
 
                                                       DP05-EN016
Spell Card
Clock Tower Prison
Field Spell
Put 1 Clock Counter on this card during each of your opponent's Standby Phases. While there are 4 or more Clock Counters on this card, you do not take any Battle Damage.

(Rare)
                                                       Rating: 3
Rack up enough Clock Counters and you have yourself a permanent Spirit Barrier!

Guard Penalty
Quick-Play Spell
Select 1 monster on the field. If it is changed to Defense Position this turn, draw 1 card.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 2
You can draw multiple cards with its effect if you use it correctly but even drawing 1 card isn't so easy. 
 
                                                       DP05-EN014
Spell Card
Misfortune
Normal Spell
Select 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. Inflict damage to your opponent equal to half that monster's original ATK. Your monsters cannot attack this turn.

(Rare)
                                                       Rating: 3
His effect works great while he's in Defense Position but with CED still running around, you're LPs are going to take a serious hit.
 
                                                       DP05-EN011
Effect Monster
Destiny Hero - Malicious
DARK | Warrior | Level 6 | ATK 800 | DEF 800
By removing from play this card while it's in your Graveyard, select 1 "Destiny Hero - Malicious" in your Deck, and Special Summon it.
(Ultra Rare)
                                                       Rating: 2
It's his weak stats that bring his rating to 2/5 as opposed to maybe 4/5 but at least you can bring out another copy with his effect. 
 
                                                       DP05-EN010
Effect Monster
Destiny Hero - Dasher
DARK | Warrior | Level 6 | ATK 2100 | DEF 1000
Once per turn, by Tributing 1 monster, this card gains 1000 ATK until the end of this turn. If this card attacks, it is changed to Defense Position at the end of the Battle Phase. While this card is in the Graveyard, one time only, when you draw a Monster Card during your Draw Phase you can show it to your opponent and Special Summon it.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 3
Tribute a weaker monster to make this guy stronger than BEWD! He goes to Defense Mode after attacking though and 1000 DEF won't help him much at all. 
 
                                                       DP05-EN009
Effect Monster
Destiny Hero - Fear Monger
DARK | Warrior | Level 4 | ATK 1000 | DEF 1000
If this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon 1 "Destiny Hero" monster from your Graveyard (except a "Destiny Hero - Fear Monger") during your next Standby Phase.
(Rare)
                                                       Rating: 3
This is the only time where having weak stats is a good thing. Let this guy die to bring back Destiny Hero Dasher! 
 
                                                       DP05-EN008
Effect Monster
Destiny Hero - Blade Master
DARK | Warrior | Level 3 | ATK 300 | DEF 600

(Common)
                                                       Rating: 1
What really hurts this card is that you cannot use it in your own Battle Phase like on the show. 
 
                                                       DP05-EN007
Effect Monster
Destiny Hero - Dogma
DARK | Warrior | Level 8 | ATK 3400 | DEF 2400
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by Tributing 3 monsters, including at least 1 "Destiny Hero" monster. If this card is Special Summoned, halve your opponent's Life Points during their next Standby Phase.
(Rare)
                                                       Rating: 3
The hard summoning requirement is what keeps his rating below 5/5 and his other effects certainly keep him above 1/5.  
 
                                                       DP05-EN006
Effect Monster
Destiny Hero - Defender
DARK | Warrior | Level 4 | ATK 100 | DEF 2700
If this card is in face-up Defense Position during your opponent's Standby Phase, your opponent draws 1 card.
(Rare)
                                                       Rating: 3
The highest DEF for a Level 4 monster thus far! Only downside is your opponent gets an extra card to draw during their Draw Phase.  
 
                                                       DP05-EN005
Effect Monster
Destiny Hero - Double Dude
DARK | Warrior | Level 6 | ATK 1000 | DEF 1000

ATK 1000/DEF 1000) during your next Standby Phase.
(Rare)
                                                       Rating: 2
At least he leaves behind 2 extra defenses/monsters to tribute with when he's destroyed and it doesn't matter how that happens.
 
                                                       DP05-EN004
Effect Monster
Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster
DARK | Warrior | Level 8 | ATK ? | DEF ?
If this card was Special Summoned by "Clock Tower Prison", destroy all monsters you control (except for "Destiny Hero" monsters), then you can Special Summon up to 2 "Destiny Hero" monsters from your Graveyard. During the turn this card is Special Summoned, "Destiny Hero" monsters you control cannot be destroyed, and you take no Battle Damage when they battle. The ATK and DEF of this card are equal to the combined original ATK of all "Destiny Hero" monsters you control (except this card).
(Rare)
                                                       Rating: 3
Bring back your strongest Destiny Heroes to make this guy the strongest monster! Too bad he only gets this effect if summoned by Clock Tower Prison's effect.
 
                                                       DP05-EN003
Effect Monster
Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude
DARK | Warrior | Level 4 | ATK 1400 | DEF 1600
Once per turn, you can look at the top card of your Deck. If it is a Normal Spell Card, send it to the Graveyard and you can activate its effect during the Main Phase of your next turn. If the card is not a Normal Spell Card, place it on the bottom of your Deck.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 2
Nearly twice the ATK of both previous cards but his effect isn't likely to be in your favor. 
 
                                                       DP05-EN002
Effect Monster
Destiny Hero - Captain Tenacious
DARK | Warrior | Level 3 | ATK 800 | DEF 800
Once per turn, if a "Destiny Hero" monster you control (except this card) is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon that 1 monster during your next Standby Phase.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 2
Stronger than Doom Lord but still not enough to survive the Battle Phase.
 
                                                       DP05-EN001
Effect Monster
Destiny Hero - Doom Lord
DARK | Warrior | Level 3 | ATK 600 | DEF 800
Once per turn, if this card is in face-up Attack Position, you can remove from play 1 monster your opponent controls. If you use this effect, you cannot declare an attack this turn, and the removed monster will be returned to the opponent's side of the field in the same battle position during your second Standby Phase after activation.
(Common)
                                                       Rating: 1
It can take out an unwanted monster temporarily but only when in Attack Position and without a D-Shield, you're LPs are bound to take a hit.
