Structure Deck Card Ratings (Page 6)

1. These ratings are only for non-duplicate cards included.
2. Product names are shortened as the other half is listed above.
3. The TCG skipped SD11 and SD12 and put their new cards in STON-EN and FOTB-EN respectively. Consequently, Decks from here on only use letters for their Set IDs.

Discard 1 card. Remove from play 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. Then, remove from play any card in your opponent's Graveyard with the same name as that monster.

A mediocre Stall card at best. Not really good for stealing monsters.

(Warrior / Effect)

(Dragon / Effect)

 Felgrand Dragon
LIGHT / Effect Monster / Level 8 / ATK 2800 / DEF 2800
(Dragon / Effect)
This monster cannot be Special Summoned except from the Graveyard and only if it was sent there from the field. When this card is Special Summoned, select 1 monster in your Graveyard. This card gains ATK equal to the Level of that monster x 200.

Deck #13 may indeed be bad luck after all if this is how we're starting it.
