YSDS-EN020
Abaki
FIRE / Fiend / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 1000
When this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard by battle, both players take 500 damage.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: First of all, his stats are weak, second, his burn damage is low and third, his weak burn damage applies to both players. Overall not playable at all.
YSDS-EN019
Rescueroid
FIRE / Machine / Level 6 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1800
When a "roid" monster you control is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can return that monster to its owner's hand.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: In combination with his weaker brother, he's okay but otherwise, no one will come to his rescue nor will he rescue anyone with those stats.  
YSDS-EN018
Ambulanceroid
EARTH / Machine / Level 3 / ATK 300 / DEF 1200
When a "roid" monster is added from your Graveyard to your hand, you can Special Summon that monster.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Worst case scenario, he'd have to save his OWN life with only 1200 DEF and a mere 300 ATK, which don't help him at all.  
YSDS-EN017
Submarineroid
WATER / Machine / Level 4 / ATK 800 / DEF 1800
This card can attack your opponent directly. When it does, any Battle Damage this card inflicts becomes the original ATK of this card. You can change this card to Defense Position at the end of the Damage Step.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Not only can he attack directly but he also can change to Defense Position in the same turn without any drawback but his stats are low.
YSDS-EN016

Drillroid
EARTH / Machine / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1600
If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, destroy the monster with this card's effect without applying damage calculation.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: His ability to plow through any Defense Position monster can come in handy but 1600 ATK and DEF isn't all that strong in protecting itself from even Whiptail Crow at 1650 ATK. 
YSDS-EN015
Steamroid
EARTH / Machine / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1800
If this card attacks an opponent's monster, this card gains 500 ATK during the Damage Step only. If this card is attacked by an opponent's monster, this card loses 500 ATK during the Damage Step only.
COMMON
Rating: 4
Comments: This guy gets an extra star for being able to take out Giant Orc, Gemini Elf and any 2000 DEF monster without any boost except with his effect. The only downside is, he loses 500 ATK when attacked.
YSDS-EN014
Gyroid
WIND / Machine / Level 3 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1000
Once per turn, if this card would be destroyed by battle, it is not destroyed. (Damage calculation is applied normally).
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Use Spirit Reaper in every other deck and keep this one in Syrus' deck.
YSDS-EN013
Patroid
EARTH / Machine / Level 4 / ATK 1200 / DEF 1200
Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can look at 1 face-down card your opponent controls, then return it to its original position.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: In my book, he's a rookie cop that won't get much pay for he won't be catching much and on the battle field, monsters as weak as even Soul Eater with 1250 ATK can defeat him.
YSDS-EN012
Chiron the Mage
EARTH / Beast-Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1000
Once per turn, you can discard 1 Spell Card to destroy 1 Spell or Trap Card your opponent controls.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Like I said in YSDJ, this guy is pretty bad despite being 1800 ATK as we have MST, which does the job much better.
YSDS-EN011
Dekoichi the Battlechanted Locomotive
DARK / Machine / Level 4 / ATK 1400 / DEF 1000
FLIP: Draw 1 card. For each face-up "Bokoichi, the Freightening Car" you control, draw an additional card.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: His low stats make him almost impossible not to destroy him in battle so his effect will most of the time activate but he is also prone to Monster Removal.
YSDS-EN010
Mask of Darkness
DARK / Fiend / Level 2 / ATK 900 / DEF 400
FLIP: Select 1 Trap Card in your Graveyard. Add it to your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Retrieve a deadly Trap Card to re-use but that's about it.
YSDS-EN009
Poison Mummy
EARTH / Zombie / Level 4 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1800
FLIP: Inflict 500 damage to your opponent.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: He obviously isn't very poisonous or it's not very effective as his stats won't be making any monsters sick.
YSDS-EN008
Zure, Knight of Dark World
DARK / Fiend / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1500
The name of this illustrious knight is known by all residents of Dark World. He never oppresses the commoners.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: Whether you're running Dark World, DARK or Fiend, this is a must have!
YSDS-EN007
Jerry Beans Man
EARTH / Plant / Level 3 / ATK 1750 / DEF 0
Jerry, a bean soldier, believes he is the strongest warrior in the world, but his true abilities are still untested.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: He may be 50 ATK stronger than Sonic Duck but he's still no match for Dark Blade, Gemini Elf or one of the Familiar Possessed monsters. Plus his 0 DEF makes him an easy target for even Aitsu.
YSDS-EN006
Cycroid
EARTH / Machine / Level 3 / ATK 800 / DEF 1000
The most lovable and friendly of all the Vehicroids. It can arm itself with training wheels!
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: One of this deck's worst cards. Don't use this outside Syrus decks.
YSDS-EN005
Archfiend Soldier
DARK / Fiend / Level 4 / ATK 1900 / DEF 1500
An expert at battle who belongs to a crack diabolical unit. He's famous because he always gets the job done.
COMMON
Rating: 4
Comments: Another excellent monster!
YSDS-EN004
Acrobat Monkey
EARTH / Machine / Level 3 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1800
An autonomous monkey type robot which was developed with cutting-edge technology. It moves very acrobatically.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Mere stats of (1000/1800) are just horrid for a Normal Monster and he'll get creamed by monsters of even 1850 ATK. Don't run him unless for fun.
YSDS-EN003
Dark Blade
DARK / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1500
They say he is a dragon manipulating warrior from the dark world. His attack is tremendous, using his great swords with vicious power.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: A decent card for any deck, especially Warrior or DARK!
YSDS-EN002
Robotic Knight
FIRE / Machine / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1800
The Commander of Machine-Types, he serves the Machine King. He is famous for the way he controls his troops.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: 1600 ATK for a Normal Monster doesn't cut it anymore so don't use this.
YSDS-EN001
Cyber-Tech Alligator
WIND / Machine / Level 5 / ATK 2500 / DEF 1600
Originally a pterodactyl, he was viciously attacked by a dragon. Using the newest technologies, his keeper saved him from near-fatal wounds and brought him back as a powerful Cyborg.
COMMON
Rating: 4
Comments: An excellent card for almost any deck!
YSDS-EN000

Expressroid
EARTH / Machine / Level 4 / ATK 400 / DEF 1600
When you Summon this card, you can add 2 "roid" monsters from your Graveyard to your hand, except "Expressroid".
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Your best option is to play him face up in Defense Position but that won't happen often and 400 ATK won't help either. A card for Syrus' Deck only.
