Jaden Yuki (DP1-EN030)
Clay Charge
TRAP / Normal Trap
You can only activate this card when an "Elemental Hero Clayman" on your side of the field is selected as an attack target. (If it is face-down, pick up and show the card to your opponent.) Destroy the attacking monster and the selected "Elemental Hero Clayman" to inflict 800 points of damage to your opponent's Life Points.
(Super Rare)

Rating: 2 out of 5
Clayman isn't going to last all that long on the field so if it's going to lose, this can help.

Jaden Yuki (DP1-EN029)
Feather Wind
TRAP / Counter Trap
You can only activate this card if there is a face-up "Elemental Hero Avian" on your side of the field. Negate the activation of a Spell or Trap Card and destroy it.
(Rare)

Rating: 1 out of 5
It's free because the monster required has little chance of being on the field at the time.

Jaden Yuki (DP1-EN028)
Hero Signal
TRAP / Normal Trap
You can only activate this card when a monster on your side of the field is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard as a result of battle. Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower monster from your hand or Deck that includes "Elemental Hero" in its card name.
(Common)

Rating: 2 out of 5
Outside of Clayman, the new monster will go down the same way the first did.

Jaden Yuki (DP1-EN027)
Negate Attack
TRAP / Counter Trap
You can only activate this card when your opponent's monster declares an attack. Negate the attack of that 1 monster and end the Battle Phase
(Rare)

Rating: 4 out of 5
No longer just a video game promo, and it's a great counter to battle damage.

Jaden Yuki (DP1-EN026)
Draining Shield
TRAP / Normal Trap
Negate the attack of 1 of your opponent's monsters and increase your Life Points by an amount equal to the attacking monster's ATK.
(Common)

Rating: 3 out of 5
Extra Life Points is never a bad thing when it's the full ATK.

Jaden Yuki (DP1-EN025)
A Hero Emerges
TRAP / Normal Trap
You can only activate this card when your opponent declares an attack. Your opponent selects 1 random card from your hand. If it is a Monster Card, Special Summon it on your side of the field. If not, send it to the Graveyard.
(Common)

Rating: 1 out of 5
Even if Bladedge (#2) is in your hand, it'd likely have to be the only one to be picked.

Jaden Yuki (DP1-EN024)
Bubble Illusion
SPELL / Quick-Play Spell
You can only activate this card while there is a face-up "Elemental Hero Bubbleman" on your side of the field. During this turn, you can activate 1 Trap Card from your hand.
(Ultra Rare)

Rating: 2 out of 5
Free activation, but Bubbleman is quite bad.

Jaden Yuki (DP1-EN023)
Bubble Blaster
SPELL / Equip Spell
You can only equip this card to "Elemental Hero Bubbleman". Increase the ATK of the equipped monster by 800 points. If the equipped monster would be destroyed as a result of battle, destroy this card instead, and make the Battle Damage to the controller of the equipped monster 0.
(Super Rare)

Rating: 2 out of 5
1600 ATK won't beat most monsters, but this does save you and the equipped monster one time.

Jaden Yuki (DP1-EN022)
Burst Return
SPELL / Normal Spell
You can only activate this card while there is a face-up "Elemental Hero Burstinatrix" on your side of the field. Return to the owner's hand(s) all monster(s) on the field that include "Elemental Hero" in their card name, except "Elemental Hero Burstinatrix".
(Super Rare)

Rating: 1 out of 5
Pretty much never going to be used.

Jaden Yuki (DP1-EN021)
Skyscraper
SPELL / Field Spell
When a monster that includes "Elemental Hero" in its card name attacks, if its ATK is lower than the ATK of the attack target, increase the ATK of the attacking monster by 1000 points during damage calculation only.
(Rare)

Rating: 2 out of 5
Only works when they attack, but it can help in battles they wouldn't normally win.

Jaden Yuki (DP1-EN020)
Spark Blaster
SPELL / Equip Spell
You can only equip this card to "Elemental Hero Sparkman". During the Main Phase of your turn, you can change the battle position of 1 face-up monster. After you use this effect 3 times, destroy this card.
(Common)

Rating: 2 out of 5
Shouldn't self-destruct just for changing a battle position. Not that good.

Jaden Yuki (DP1-EN019)
Bubble Shuffle
SPELL / Quick-Play Spell
You can only activate this card when there is a face-up "Elemental Hero Bubbleman" on the field. Change 1 "Elemental Hero Bubbleman" in face-up Attack Position on your side of the field and 1 monster in face-up Attack Position on your opponent's side of the field to Defense Position. Tribute the "Elemental Hero Bubbleman" that was changed to Defense Position and Special Summon 1 monster from your hand that includes "Elemental Hero" in its name.
(Common)

Rating: 2 out of 5
Could bring out Bladedge (#2), but Bubbleman and the opponent's monster must be in Attack Mode.

Jaden Yuki (DP1-EN018)
Transcendent Wings
SPELL / Quick-Play Spell
Send to the Graveyard 1 "Winged Kuriboh" from your side of the field and 2 cards from your hand. Special Summon 1 "Winged Kuriboh LV10" from you hand or Deck.
(Common)

Rating: 2 out of 5
Brings out a potent monster, but at the expense of 3 cards.

Jaden Yuki (DP1-EN017)
Feather Shot
SPELL / Normal Spell
Select 1 face-up "Elemental Hero Avian" on your side of the field to activate this card. This turn, the selected card can attack as many times as the number of monster(s) on your side of the field when this card resolves. In that case, it cannot attack your opponent's Life Points directly, and your other monster(s) cannot attack.
(Common)

Rating: 1 out of 5
So many stronger (#12) monsters could've used an effect like this.

Jaden Yuki (DP1-EN016)
The Warrior Returning Alive
SPELL / Normal Spell
Select 1 Warrior-Type monster in your Graveyard and add it to your hand.
(Common)

Rating: 3 out of 5
Retrieve any of the best Warriors in the game that came up short.

Jaden Yuki (DP1-EN015)
Fusion Sage
SPELL / Normal Spell
Add 1 "Polymerization" card from your Deck to your hand. Then shuffle your Deck.
(Common)

Rating: 2 out of 5
Not all that useful unless you're ready to Fusion Summon and don't have Poly in your hand.

Jaden Yuki (DP1-EN014)
Polymerization (original artwork)
SPELL / Normal Spell
Send Fusion Material Monsters that are listed by a Fusion Monster Card from your hand or your side of the field to the Graveyard, and Special Summon the Fusion Monster from your Fusion Deck.

The best Fusion Monsters in the game start from a card like this.

WATER / Fusion Monster / Level 5 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1000
(Warrior / Fusion / Effect)
"Elemental Hero Burstinatrix" + "Elemental Hero Bubbleman"

Mist a great opportunity to make this a worthy monster.

Elemental Hero Rampart Blaster
EARTH / Fusion Monster / Level 6 / ATK 2000 / DEF 2500
(Warrior / Fusion / Effect)
"Elemental Hero Clayman" + "Elemental Hero Burstinatrix"
This monster cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon. While this card is in face-up Defense Position, this card can attack your opponent's Life Points directly. In that case, apply half the ATK of this card for damage calculation.
(Rare)

Rating: 1 out of 5
9 times out of 10, that's only 1000 damage. Not worth the extra work.

Jaden Yuki (DP1-EN011)
Elemental Hero Thunder Giant
LIGHT / Fusion Monster / Level 6 / ATK 2400 / DEF 1500
(Warrior / Fusion / Effect)
"Elemental Hero Sparkman" + "Elemental Hero Clayman"

(Rare)

Rating: 1 out of 5
The rarity is more appropriate, but nothing else has changed.

Jaden Yuki (DP1-EN010)
Elemental Hero Flame Wingman
WIND / Fusion Monster / Level 6 / ATK 2100 / DEF 1200
(Warrior / Fusion / Effect)
"Elemental Hero Avian" + "Elemental Hero Burstinatrix"
This monster cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon. When this card destroys a monster and sends it to the Graveyard as a result of battle, inflict damage to your opponent's Life Points equal to the ATK of the destroyed monster.
(Super Rare)

Rating: 2 out of 5
Pretty potent effect, but 2100 ATK is relatively low for this.

Jaden Yuki (DP1-EN009)
Elemental Hero Bubbleman
WATER / Effect Monster / Level 4 / ATK 800 / DEF 1200
(Warrior / Effect)
If this is the only card in your hand, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. When this card is Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned or Special Summoned successfully, if there are no other cards on your side of the field and in your hand, you can draw 2 cards from your Deck.
(Common)

Rating: 1 out of 5
Burst everyone's bubble once we found out what its effect was going to be.

Jaden Yuki (DP1-EN008)
Dark Catapulter
EARTH / Effect Monster / Level 4 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1500
(Machine / Effect)
During your Standby Phase, if this card is in Defense Position, put 1 counter on this card. Remove from play a number of card(s) in your Graveyard equal to the number of counters on this card to destroy that same number of Spell or Trap Card(s) on the field. Then remove all counter(s) from this card.
(Common)

Rating: 1 out of 5
Much too slow and too weak to have any chance at affecting a Duel.

Jaden Yuki (DP1-EN007)
Wroughtweiler
EARTH / Effect Monster / Level 3 / ATK 800 / DEF 1200
(Machine / Effect)
When this card is destroyed as a result of battle and sent to the Graveyard add from your Graveyard to your hand 1 card that includes "Elemental Hero" in its card name, and 1 "Polymerization".
(Common)

Rating: 2 out of 5
You get back about half the equation for a Fusion Summon, but the Fusions aren't very good.

Jaden Yuki (DP1-EN006)
Winged Kuriboh LV10
LIGHT / Effect Monster / Level 10 / ATK 300 / DEF 200
(Fairy / Effect)
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by the effect of "Transcendent Wings". Tribute this face-up card on your side of the field to destroy all face-up Attack Position monsters on your opponent's side of the field and inflict damage to your opponent's Life Points equal to the combined original ATK of those destroyed monster(s). You can only activate this effect during your opponent's Battle Phase.
(Rare)

Rating: 3 out of 5
10 steps above the original, literally.

Jaden Yuki (DP1-EN005)
Winged Kuriboh (original artwork)
LIGHT / Effect Monster / Level 1 / ATK 300 / DEF 200
(Fairy / Effect)
When this card on the field is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, its effect is activated. After activation, during this turn, any Battle Damage that the controller of this card takes becomes 0.
(Rare)

Rating: 2 out of 5
Helpful to a point, but Waboku (#40) is better still.

Jaden Yuki (DP1-EN004)
Elemental Hero Sparkman (original artwork)
LIGHT / Normal Monster / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1400
(Warrior / Normal)
An Elemental Hero and a warrior of light who proficiently wields many kinds of armaments. His Shining Surge Flash cuts off the path of villainy.

Every Yu-Gi-Oh protagonist has monsters like these in their Deck, making every battle an uphill one.

Jaden Yuki (DP1-EN003)
Elemental Hero Clayman
EARTH / Normal Monster / Level 4 / ATK 800 / DEF 2000
(Warrior / Normal)
An Elemental Hero with a clay body built-to-last. He will preserve his Elemental Hero colleagues at any cost.

The "best" of the Elemental Hero Normal Monsters.

Elemental Hero Burstinatrix (original artwork)

(Warrior / Normal)
A flame manipulator who is the only woman among the Elemental Heroes. Her Burstfire burns away villainy.

The only female, but they're not alone with unplayability.

Jaden Yuki (DP1-EN001)
Elemental Hero Avian (original artwork)
WIND / Normal Monster / Level 3 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1000
(Warrior / Normal)
A winged Elemental Hero who wheels through the sky and manipulates the wind. His signature move, Featherbreak, gives villainy a blow from sky-high.
(Common)

Rating: 1 out of 5
Featherbreak doesn't seem very powerful with those stats.
