You really can't go wrong with two free draws.

When this card is sent from your hand to the Graveyard by an effect of a card controlled by your opponent, return this card from the Graveyard to your hand.

I guess the effect could be useful at times, but the ATK and Level are certainly so.

Double Coston
DARK / Effect Monster / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 1650
(Zombie / Effect)

Vampire Lady
DARK / Effect Monster / Level 4 / ATK 1550 / DEF 1550

Being a weaker Vampire Lord wasn't going to look good on its resume.

Soul-Absorbing Bone Tower
DARK / Effect Monster / Level 3 / ATK 400 / DEF 1500

(Zombie / Effect)
If a monster that battles with this monster is a Warrior or Spellcaster-Type monster, destroy that monster at the end of the Damage Step.

Zombie Madness (SD2-EN007)
Despair from the Dark
DARK / Effect Monster / Level 8 / ATK 2800 / DEF 3000
(Zombie / Effect)
When this card is sent from your hand or Deck to your Graveyard by your opponent's card effect, Special Summon this card to the field.

Rating: 1 out of 5
That means 9 times out of 10 it's a Normal Monster, which isn't good for those stats.

Zombie Madness (SD2-EN006)
Spirit Reaper
DARK / Effect Monster / Level 3 / ATK 300 / DEF 200
(Zombie / Effect)

(Common)

Rating: 3 out of 5
Searchable and doesn't go down so easily in battle, but does for some effects.

Zombie Madness (SD2-EN005)
Pyramid Turtle
EARTH / Effect Monster / Level 4 / ATK 1200 / DEF 1400
(Zombie / Effect)

Certainly has more choices than Masked Dragon, but the best is Ryu Kokki.

Zombie Madness (SD2-EN004)
Dark Dust Spirit
EARTH / Effect Monster / Level 6 / ATK 2200 / DEF 1800
(Zombie / Spirit / Effect)
This card cannot be Special Summoned. This card returns to the owner's hand during the End Phase of the turn that this card is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up. If this card is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up, destroy all face-up monsters on the field except this card.
(Common)

Rating: 2 out of 5
Pretty powerful effect, but you'll likely get hit with the effect and requires a Tribute to play it each time.

Zombie Madness (SD2-EN003)
Vampire Lord
DARK / Effect Monster / Level 5 / ATK 2000 / DEF 1500
(Zombie / Effect)
Each time this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points, declare 1 card type (Monster, Spell, or Trap). Your opponent selects 1 card of that type from his/her Deck and sends it to the Graveyard. Also, if this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard by your opponent's card effect, it is Special Summoned to the field during your next Standby Phase.
(Common)

Rating: 1 out of 5
Has those fake glow-in-the-dark teeth from places like Chuck E. Cheeses and poor skills otherwise.

Zombie Madness (SD2-EN002)
Master Kyonshee
EARTH / Normal Monster / Level 4 / ATK 1750 / DEF 1000
(Zombie / Normal)
A wandering Kyonshee searching for a strong rival to defeat. They say he was known as the master of all martial arts.
(Common)

Rating: 1 out of 5
That's a bold idea for something with those stats.

Zombie Madness (SD2-EN001)
Vampire Genesis
DARK / Effect Monster / Level 8 / ATK 3000 / DEF 2100
(Zombie / Effect)
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by removing 1 "Vampire Lord" on your side of the field from play.

You're much better off with the Spell Card further up.

Dragon's Roar (SD1-EN028)
Curse of Anubis
TRAP / Normal Trap
All face-up Effect Monsters on the field are changed to Defense Position. During the turn this card is activated, the original DEF of those Effect Monsters become 0, and their battle positions cannot be changed, except with a card effect.
(Common)

Rating: 2 out of 5
Since all of them go to Defense Mode, it doesn't cause much harm.

Dragon's Roar (SD1-EN027)
Trap Jammer
TRAP / Counter Trap
You can only activate this card when your opponent activates a Trap Card during the Battle Phase. Negate the activation of the Trap Card and destroy it.

Interdimensional Matter Transporter

The Dragon's Bead

Discard 1 card from your hand. Negate the effect of a Trap Card that targets 1 face-up Dragon-Type monster and destroy the Trap Card.

Dragon's Roar (SD1-EN022)
Ceasefire
TRAP / Normal Trap
Flip all face-down Defense Position monsters on the field face-up. Flip Effects are not activated at this time. Inflict 500 points of damage to your opponent's Life Points for each Effect Monster on the field.

Dragon's Roar (SD1-EN021)
Call of the Haunted

Creature Swap
SPELL / Normal Spell
Both players select 1 monster from their respective sides of the field and switch control of those monsters with each other. The selected monsters cannot change their battle positions this turn.

With the more potent card (Snatch Steal) at 1, this makes for an okay replacement.

Dragon's Roar (SD1-EN017)
Stamping Destruction
SPELL / Normal Spell

Deals little damage for being a more restrained MST.

Dragon's Roar (SD1-EN016)
Heavy Storm
SPELL / Normal Spell
Destroy all Spell and Trap Cards on the field.

Potent enough to be limited to 1 per Deck, and it's easy to see why.

Pot of Greed
SPELL / Normal Spell
Draw 2 cards from your Deck.
(Common)

A 3-turn lockdown for the opponent is quite useful.

Dragon's Roar (SD1-EN013)
Premature Burial

A lot like Call of the Haunted, but as a Spell Card with a small fee.

Dragon's Roar (SD1-EN012)

Little beyond another copy of this is even remotely useful.

Dragon's Roar (SD1-EN008)
Element Dragon
LIGHT / Effect Monster / Level 4 / ATK 1500 / DEF 1200
(Dragon / Effect)
This monster gets the following effect(s) while there is a monster(s) with the following Attribute(s) on the field:

Situational effects do not belong on a monster this weak.

DARK / Effect Monster / Level 1 / ATK 800 / DEF 500
(Dragon / Effect)
Send this face-up card on your side of the field to the Graveyard to Special Summon 1 "Red-Eyes B. Dragon" from your hand.

The effect doesn't even prevent itself or LV7 (#12) from attacking, and it's decent on its own too.

Dragon's Roar (SD1-EN005)
Armed Dragon LV3
WIND / Effect Monster / Level 3 / ATK 1200 / DEF 900
(Dragon / Effect)
During your Standby Phase, send this face-up card to the Graveyard to Special Summon 1 "Armed Dragon LV5" from your hand or Deck.

Twin-Headed Behemoth

(Dragon / Effect)

(Common)

Rating: 2 out of 5
Why once per Duel? Effect is too slow to make it useful at all.

Dragon's Roar (SD1-EN003)
Luster Dragon
WIND / Normal Monster / Level 4 / ATK 1900 / DEF 1600
(Dragon / Normal)
A very beautiful dragon covered with sapphire. It does not like fights, but has incredibly high attack power.

(Dragon / Effect)
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by Tributing 1 "Red-Eyes B. Dragon" on your side of the field. Increase the ATK of this card by 300 points for each Dragon-Type monster in your Graveyard.
(Ultra Rare)

Rating: 1 out of 5
The one Tribute it requires is the one that isn't worth it. Doesn't do much once on the field either.
