About as costly to Normal Summon as it is to Special Summon, but the last effect isn't bad.

I can name far better Dragons more fit to be king than this.

Scale:
FLIP: Target 1 monster your opponent controls; destroy it.
(Common)

Scale:

(Common)

Not many monsters this strong can attack directly by their own effect, but the result is quite limited.
Space-Time Showdown (YS14-EN011)

DEF: 1600		 Pendulum
Scale:
When this card is Pendulum Summoned: You can target 1 card on the field; return it to the hand. You can only use this effect of "Aether, the Empowering Dragon" once per turn.

Pendulum Summoning requires at least 3 cards, and this offers nothing useful when you get them in place.
Space-Time Showdown (YS14-EN009)
Stargazer Magician
DARK Spellcaster / Pendulum / Effect Level 5 ATK: 1200
DEF: 2400		 Pendulum
Scale: 1
Pendulum
Text		 If a Pendulum Monster you control attacks or is attacked, your opponent cannot activate Spell Cards until the end of the Damage Step. Unless you have a "Magician" card or "Odd-Eyes" card in your other Pendulum Zone, this card's Pendulum Scale becomes 4.
Monster
Text		 Once per turn, when exactly 1 other Pendulum Monster you control (and no other cards) is returned to your hand by an opponent's card effect (except during the Damage Step): You can Special Summon 1 monster from your hand with the same name as that returned to the hand.
 (Super Rare)
Rating: 2 out of 5
A good start could've been achieved, but its Pendulum Scale of 1 is mitigated by its Pendulum Text's last line.
V for Victory (YS13-EN031)
Puzzle Reborn
TRAP Normal Trap Level ATK:
DEF: 		Pendulum
Scale:
If exactly 1 monster you control (and no other cards) is destroyed by a card effect: Target that monster; Special Summon that target.

We end the reviews on a relatively low note, but it's not terrible.
V for Victory (YS13-EN021)
Swords of Burning Light
SPELL Continuous Spell Level ATK:
DEF: 		Pendulum
Scale:
While you control no monsters, monsters your opponent controls cannot declare attacks. If you control a monster, or if your opponent has 5 or more cards in their hand, destroy this card.
(Common)
Rating: 1 out of 5
They'll likely only burn for a turn before they're put out. The original is vastly better.
V for Victory (YS13-EN008)
Caligo Claw Crow
DARK Winged Beast / Effect Level 2 ATK: 900
DEF: 600		 Pendulum
Scale:
If you control a DARK monster, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). You can only Special Summon "Caligo Claw Crow" once per turn this way.

DEF: 400		 Pendulum
Scale:
FLIP: You can target 1 Level 4 or lower Spellcaster-Type monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target.

Gagaga Child
DARK Spellcaster / Effect Level 2 ATK: 800
DEF: 1200		 Pendulum
Scale:
If you control a "Gagaga" monster other than "Gagaga Child", you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). When you do: You can target 1 "Gagaga" monster you control with a different Level than this card; this card's Level becomes the Level of that monster. You cannot conduct your Battle Phase the turn you activate this effect.
(Common)
Rating: 1 out of 5
Throws a tantrum just after it hits the field, rendering just about anything else you do that turn moot.
Xyz Symphony (YS12-EN043)
Maestroke the Symphony Djinn
DARK Fiend / Xyz / Effect Rank 4 ATK: 1800
DEF: 2300		 Pendulum
Scale:
2 Level 4 monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to target 1 face-up Attack Position monster your opponent controls; change it to face-down Defense Position. If a face-up "Djinn" Xyz Monster you control would be destroyed, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from that monster instead.
(Super Rare)
Rating: 2 out of 5
The DEF will help a bit, but it's little more than Book of Moon.
Xyz Symphony (YS12-EN042)
Melomelody the Brass Djinn
LIGHT Fiend / Xyz / Effect Rank 3 ATK: 1400
DEF: 1600		 Pendulum
Scale:
2 Level 3 monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to target 1 face-up "Djinn" Xyz Monster you control; this turn, that monster can attack twice during each Battle Phase.
(Super Rare)
Rating: 1 out of 5
Attacking twice is only useful when you have a strong monster or the opponent has none.
Xyz Symphony (YS12-EN041)
Temtempo the Precussion Djinn
EARTH Fiend / Xyz / Effect Rank 3 ATK: 1700
DEF: 1000		 Pendulum
Scale:
2 Level 3 monsters
Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to target 1 Xyz Monster your opponent controls; detach 1 Xyz Material from that monster, and all face-up "Djinn" Xyz Monsters you currently control gain 500 ATK.
(Super Rare)
Rating: 1 out of 5
2 Xyz Materials just for a 500 ATK boost is pathetic, and that's on top of its own weak stats.
Xyz Symphony (YS12-EN040)
Muzurhythm the String Djinn
WIND Fiend / Xyz / Effect Rank 3 ATK: 1500
DEF: 1000		 Pendulum
Scale:
2 Level 3 monsters

(Super Rare)
Rating: 2 out of 5
Fairly strong for its Rank, but it costs a material to deal the damage.
Dawn of the Xyz (YS11-EN042)
Gachi Gachi Gantetsu
EARTH Rock / Xyz / Effect Rank 2 ATK: 500
DEF: 1800		 Pendulum
Scale:

It won't last long, and the boost is quite small.
Dawn of the Xyz (YS11-EN032)
Xyz Effect
TRAP Normal Trap Level ATK:
DEF: 		Pendulum
Scale:
When you Xyz Summon a monster: You can target 1 card on the field; destroy it.
(Common)

Cause and effect as a Yu-Gi-Oh card, but we're not talking about anything major here.
Dawn of the Xyz (YS11-EN023)
Xyz Energy
SPELL Normal Spell Level ATK:
DEF: 		Pendulum
Scale:
Detach 1 Xyz Material you control to target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; destroy that target.

Just go with Tribute to the Doomed for pretty much the same result.
Dawn of the Xyz (YS11-EN022)
Harmonic Waves
SPELL Normal Spell Level ATK:
DEF: 		Pendulum
Scale:
Target 1 face-up monster on the field; it becomes Level 4 until the End Phase.

Rank 4s gets a bit easier, but this is limited entirely to making Level 4s.
Dawn of the Xyz (YS11-EN021)
Blustering Winds
SPELL Normal Spell Level ATK:
DEF: 		Pendulum
Scale:
Target 1 face-up monster you control; it gains 1000 ATK and DEF until your next Standby Phase.
(Common)
Rating: 2 out of 5
Long enough to make just about any monster a threat, but Axe of Despair can do that indefinitely.
Dawn of the Xyz (YS11-EN011)
Shine Knight
LIGHT Warrior / Effect Level 3 ATK: 400
DEF: 1900		 Pendulum
Scale:
This card is Level 4 while in face-up Defense Position.
(Common)

High DEF and a bit more versatile with its Level.
Dawn of the Xyz (YS11-EN010)
Tenshin
LIGHT Fairy / Effect Level 2 ATK: 800
DEF: 100		 Pendulum
Scale:
This card gains 400 ATK for each face-up Level 2 monster you control.
(Common)
Rating: 1 out of 5
That's only 1200 ATK for itself and I can bet you won't have more than two out at a time.
Dawn of the Xyz (YS11-EN009)
Key Man the Key Warrior
EARTH Warrior / Effect Level 2 ATK: 1000
DEF: 500		 Pendulum
Scale:
Once per turn, during your Main Phase: You can make this card Level 3 until the End Phase.
(Common)
Rating: 1 out of 5
Only goes up (or down after an effect is applied) a single Level and is very weak.
Dawn of the Xyz (YS11-EN008)
Speed Bird
WIND Winged Beast / Effect Level 4 ATK: 1200
DEF: 1000		 Pendulum
Scale:
When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard: You can target 2 Level 2 monsters in your Graveyard; Special Summon them, but their effects are negated.

Are they related to Speed Warrior? Only a few points above that monster's original stats.

Feedback Warrior
EARTH Warrior / Effect Level 3 ATK: 800
DEF: 700		 Pendulum
Scale:
When this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can target 1 face-up monster you control; it becomes Level 3.
(Common)
Rating: 2 out of 5
You could just use an existing Level 3 like Marauding Captain, but it may be useful on non-Level 3 monsters.
Dawn of the Xyz (YS11-EN006)
Ganbara Knight
LIGHT Warrior / Effect Level 4 ATK: 0
DEF: 1800		 Pendulum
Scale:
When this face-up Attack Position card is targeted for an attack: You can change it to Defense Position.
(Common)
Rating: 2 out of 5
0 ATK is going to be too tempting a property for the opponent to exploit, but it has a built-in patch for that.
Duelist Toolbox (5DS3-EN042)
X-Saber Wayne
EARTH Warrior / Synchro / Effect Level 5 ATK: 2100
DEF: 400		 Pendulum

It could destroy up to 5 cards, but only by using Level 1s at best.
Duelist Toolbox (5DS3-EN029)
Wild Tornado

DEF: 		Pendulum
Scale:
Select 1 face-up card in the Spell & Trap Card Zones and destroy it. The controller of the destroyed card can then Set 1 Spell or Trap Card from their hand. If this Set card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, select and destroy 1 face-up card on the field.
(Common)
Rating: 1 out of 5
It's actually just Pidgey using Gust.
Duelist Toolbox (5DS3-EN019)
Half Shut
SPELL Quick-Play Spell Level ATK:
DEF: 		Pendulum
Scale:
Select 1 face-up monster on the field. That monster cannot be destroyed by battle this turn, and its ATK is halved until the End Phase of this turn.
(Common)
Rating: 2 out of 5
Rarely it helps to have a monster survive a battle, but this also cuts their ATK in half.
Duelist Toolbox (5DS3-EN004)
Rapid Warrior
WIND Warrior / Effect Level 4 ATK: 1200
DEF: 200		 Pendulum

During your Main Phase 1, you can activate this card's effect. If you do, it can attack your opponent directly this turn. Other monsters cannot attack during the turn you activate this effect.

Once per turn, you can Special Summon 1 Level 2 or lower Warrior or Machine-Type monster from your Deck.

This road is a dead end because all you can do is bring out weak monsters once it's out.
5Ds 2009 (5DS2-EN033)
Gottoms' Emergency Call
TRAP Normal Trap Level ATK:
DEF: 		Pendulum
Scale:
Activate only if there is a face-up "X-Saber" monster(s) on the field. Select 2 "X-Saber" monsters in either player's Graveyard(s). Special Summon those monsters to your side of the field.
(Common)

They're not all as weak as Airbellum, but they're also mostly bad.
5Ds 2009 (5DS2-EN021)
Pride of the Weak

X-Saber Galahad
EARTH Warrior / Effect Level 4 ATK: 1800
