LIGHT	Effect Monster	Level 4	ATK: 0 DEF: 1800	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
(Spellcaster / Effect) Once per turn: You can increase this card's Level by 4 until the End Phase. You can Tribute this card; add 1 "Galaxy" card from your Deck to your hand, except "Galaxy Wizard". (Ultra Rare)
Rating: 2 out of 5 Photon Dragon is good enough to get with this and it packs 1800 DEF to coincide altering its Level to 8.
Zexal Collection Tin (ZTIN-EN010) Dimension Wanderer https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Set_Card_Galleries:Zexal_Collection_Tin_(TCG-EN-1E)
LIGHT	Effect Monster	Level 1	ATK: 0 DEF: 0	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
(Spellcaster / Effect) When a monster is banished by the effect of "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon": You can send this card from your hand to the Graveyard; inflict 3000 damage to your opponent. You can only use the effect of "Dimension Wanderer" once per turn. (Super Rare)
Rating: 2 out of 5 Unless it wanders into your hand, you have pretty much no way to make this useful.
Zexal Collection Tin (ZTIN-EN008) Photon Slasher https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Set_Card_Galleries:Zexal_Collection_Tin_(TCG-EN-1E)
LIGHT	Effect Monster	Level 6	ATK: 2100 DEF: 1000	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
(Warrior / Effect) If a face-up Xyz Monster is on the field, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand) in face-up Defense Position. (Super Rare)
Rating: 2 out of 5 Two could make for a Rank 6 Xyz Summon, but this is barely on the 2-star rating.
Zexal Collection Tin (ZTIN-EN007) Photon Satellite https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Set_Card_Galleries:Zexal_Collection_Tin_(TCG-EN-1E)
LIGHT	Effect Monster	Level 1	ATK: 0 DEF: 0	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
(Machine / Effect) Once per turn: You can target 1 other "Photon" monster you control; the Levels of both that monster and this card become the combined current Levels of those 2 monsters. (Super Rare)
Rating: 2 out of 5 Open to just about any type of Xyz Summon, but only with other Photons.
Zexal Collection Tin (ZTIN-EN006) Photon Pirate https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Set_Card_Galleries:Zexal_Collection_Tin_(TCG-EN-1E)
LIGHT	Effect Monster	Level 3	ATK: 1000 DEF: 1000	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
(Machine / Effect) You can banish 1 "Photon" monster from your Graveyard; this card gains 1000 ATK until the End Phase. You can use the effect of "Photon Pirate" up to twice per turn. (Super Rare)
Rating: 1 out of 5 I think I'd rather have the monster self-destruct than keep a temporary boost by banishing monsters.

TRAP	Normal Trap	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
Target 1 face-up Spellcaster-Type monster you control; equip this card to that target. Twice per turn, it cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects. (Ultra Rare)
Rating: 2 out of 5 Built-in protection from just about anything, but only twice per turn.

SPELL	Quick-Play Spell	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
During the turn a "Gagaga" monster you control was destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard: Special Summon as many monsters from your Graveyard as possible that were destroyed by battle this turn, in face-up Defense Position, then take 600 damage for each monster Special Summoned by this effect. You can only activate 1 "Gagagaback" per turn. (Super Rare)
Rating: 1 out of 5 A major step back if you're intending to win the Duel considering you take 600 damage per monster revived.

WATER	Xyz Monster	Rank 5	ATK: 2000 DEF: 2500	Pendulum Scale NA / NA

Rating: 1 out of 5 Discovering this frozen dinosaur wasn't worth it after all.

FIRE	Xyz Monster	Rank 5	ATK: 2500 DEF: 1000	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
(Dinosaur / Xyz / Effect) 2 Level 5 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; destroy that opponent's monster, and if you do, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the destroyed monster's original ATK. This card cannot attack your opponent directly during the turn you activate this effect. (Ultra Rare)
Rating: 2 out of 5 Only a Rank 5 with a pretty potent effect, but it does little good if your opponent is out of monsters.
Zexal Collection Tin (ZTIN-EN001) Dododo Warrior https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Set_Card_Galleries:Zexal_Collection_Tin_(TCG-EN-1E)
EARTH	Effect Monster	Level 6	ATK: 2300 DEF: 900	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
(Warrior / Effect) You can Normal Summon this card without Tributing, but its original ATK becomes 1800. If this card attacks, negate all card effects that activate in the opponent's Graveyard, until the end of the Damage Step. (Super Rare)
Rating: 2 out of 5 Blocks one key area of intervention, but even with 1800 ATK, it's still a Level 6 monster.
Zexal Manga (YZ02-EN001) Number 50: Blackship Corn https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Set_Card_Galleries:Yu-Gi-Oh!_ZEXAL_Volume_2_promotional_card_(TCG-EN-LE)

This card cannot attack the turn you activate this effect. (Ultra Rare)
Rating: 2 out of 5 Using the effect is going to be tricky because it's not very strong to begin with and won't do anything else.

You cannot conduct your Battle Phase the turn you activate this effect. When 3 Destiny Counters are on this card, you win the Duel. (Ultra Rare)
Rating: 1 out of 5 Just about any other way to instantly win a Duel is better.
SJ Subscription (JUMP-EN060) Number 16: Shock Master https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Weekly_Shonen_Jump_Alpha_April_2012_membership_promotional_card
LIGHT	Xyz Monster	Rank 4	ATK: 2300 DEF: 1600	Pendulum Scale NA / NA

Rating: 2 out of 5 The magazine has become digital, but the promos have yet to really improve.

Rating: 2 out of 5 Not too bad for 2 Level 4s, but not exactly good enough for a 3.
5Ds Manga (YF03-EN001) Infernity General https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Yu-Gi-Oh!_5D's_Volume_3_promotional_card
DARK	Effect Monster	Level 7	ATK: 2700 DEF: 1500	Pendulum Scale NA / NA

TRAP	Normal Trap	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
When a face-up LIGHT Dragon-Type monster you control is targeted for an attack: The attack target gains ATK equal to the ATK of the attacking monster's ATK, until the end of the Damage Step. (Super Rare)
Rating: 2 out of 5 Helps replace Honest's other copies, but only with LIGHT Dragons.
Premium Collection Tin (PRC1-EN022) Photon Sanctuary https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Set_Card_Galleries:Premium_Collection_Tin_(TCG-EN-1E)
SPELL	Normal Spell	Level	ATK: DEF:	Pendulum Scale NA / NA

Rating: 2 out of 5 LIGHT Decks can use it without the restriction, but if you have nothing to play, the Tokens won't last.

DARK	Synchro Monster	Level 8	ATK: 3000 DEF: 3000	Pendulum Scale NA / NA
(Dragon / Synchro / Effect) 1 DARK Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters Once per turn, during either player's turn, when your opponent activates a Spell/Trap Card while you have no cards in your hand: You can negate the activation and destroy it. (Secret Rare)
Rating: 2 out of 5 Might as well be an Infernity monster because it has the same requirement they do.
Premium Collection Tin (PRC1-EN020) Gravity Warrior https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Set_Card_Galleries:Premium_Collection_Tin_(TCG-EN-1E)
EARTH	Synchro Monster	Level 6	ATK: 2100 DEF: 1000	Pendulum Scale NA / NA

Once per turn, during your opponent's Battle Phase: You can target 1 Defense Position monster your opponent controls; change it to face-up Attack Position, also it must attack this turn, if able. (Secret Rare)
Rating: 2 out of 5 You don't get to choose the other monster's attack target, but this can get a temporary boost.

LIGHT	Effect Monster	Level 10	ATK: ? DEF: ?	Pendulum Scale NA / NA

This card's ATK and DEF are equal to the number of cards you added to your hand by this effect x 1000. (Secret Rare)
Rating: 1 out of 5 Hope you like 0 ATK and DEF because that's where this guy will be most of the time, or even entirely.

EARTH	Effect Monster	Level 8	ATK: 0 DEF: 2200	Pendulum Scale NA / NA

Tribute 2 Dragon-Type monsters; Special Summon 1 Level 8 Dragon-Type monster from your Deck. (Ultra Rare)
