Mask of Dispel (#220) now supports Dark Contracts (#95) apparently.

(Fiend / Fusion / Effect)

Too bad it requires some of the worst Fusion Materials in the game because the effects are decent.
Pendulum Domination (SDPD-EN033)
 D/D Recruits
 TRAP / Normal Trap
If your opponent controls more monsters than you do: Target any number of "D/D" monsters and/or "Dark Contract" cards in your Graveyard up to the difference; add those cards to your hand. You can only activate 1 "D/D Recruits" per turn.
(Common)
Rating: 1 out of 5
Recruit a better strategy instead.
Pendulum Domination (SDPD-EN032)
 D/D Reroll

This is the exact opposite of what you should do with Dark Contracts on your field.

 Dark Contract with the Yamimakai

 (Common)
Rating: 1 out of 5
I can proudly say this is worth disposing.

Copying Timegazer Magician's Pendulum Text ensured a 1/5.

(Common)
Rating: 2 out of 5
Won't do anything unless 1 Pendulum Scale is 8 or more, but the effect helps when you do though.
Pendulum Domination (SDPD-EN009)
 D/D Nighthowl
 DARK / Effect Monster / Level 3 / ATK 300 / DEF 600
(Fiend / Tuner / Effect)
When this card is Normal Summoned: You can target 1 "D/D" monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it, also you cannot Special Summon monsters for the rest of this turn, except Fiend-Type monsters. That monster's ATK and DEF become 0. If it is destroyed, you take 1000 damage.
(Common)
Rating: 2 out of 5
The effect spells out why it's a bad idea to use, but this is also a Tuner.
Pendulum Domination (SDPD-EN008)
 D/D Lilith
 DARK / Effect Monster / Level 4 / ATK 100 / DEF 2100
(Fiend / Effect)
If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can activate 1 of these effects. You can only use this effect of "D/D Lilith" once per turn.

Setting it would probably be best here to use that 2100 DEF.
Pendulum Domination (SDPD-EN007)
 D/D Cerberus
 DARK / Pendulum Monster / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 600 / Scale 8 and Scale 8
Pendulum Text

High Scale and ATK make this worthwhile.

 (Common)
Rating: 4 out of 5
A 4-star rating for a D/D or D/D/D monster because it is more generic and strong.
Pendulum Domination (SDPD-EN004)
 D/D Orthros
 DARK / Pendulum Monster / Level 4 / ATK 600 / DEF 1800 / Scale 3 and Scale 3
Pendulum Text

Hurts its own uses as a Monster Card, but still works for its Pendulum Scale.
Pendulum Domination (SDPD-EN002)
 D/D Savant Newton
 DARK / Pendulum Monster / Level 7 / ATK 0 / DEF 0 / Scale 10 and Scale 10
Pendulum Text

 (Common)
Rating: 1 out of 5
The Scale tops the highest Qliphort (#24) monsters, but even they have at least mediocre Pendulums.

 (Ultra Rare)
Rating: 1 out of 5
A pretty poor start to any Structure Deck.

The variant of Dragon Catapult Cannon, but it's actually a bit better by comparison.

Instant access to perhaps most of the requirements needed for A-to-Z, but good luck getting that far.

(Common)
Rating: 2 out of 5
A bit better than the original (#11), but little potential is left as Union monsters are so lackluster.

(Machine / Union / Effect)
Once per turn, you can either: Target 1 LIGHT Machine-Type monster you control; equip this card to that target, OR: Unequip this card and Special Summon it.

(Super Rare)

Grading these guys would certainly be a "C" at best.

They've traded extra ATK for moderate protection, which helps, along with this card's DEF.

The best Union monster to date, and it took quite a few years to achieve this.

6 are available so far, which really doesn't leave a lot of combinations. Half are also Normal Monsters.

As strong as they come, but it either gets one of the two Magna Warriors or another weaker member.
