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.

Once per turn, you can discard 1 Spell Card to Special Summon 1 of your removed from play monsters.

The Dark Emperor (SDDE-EN011)
 D.D. Scout Plane
DARK Effect Monster Level 3 ATK: 800
DEF: 1200		 Pendulum Scale:

Pendulum Scale:
(Warrior / Effect)
When you Tribute Summon a monster by Tributing this card, return this card to your hand.

Not really any consolation since it's much too weak to stay on the field for a single round, let alone beyond that.

DEF: 200		 Pendulum Scale:
Pendulum Scale:

Pendulum Scale:
Destroy 1 Spell or Trap Card your opponent controls. You can then Set 1 Spell or Trap Card from your hand.

Both players can Normal Summon or Set monsters without Tribute(s) by paying 1000 Life Points x the number of monsters needed to Tribute Summon them.

Pendulum Scale:
Tribute 1 monster. Select either its ATK or DEF and gain that many Life Points.

LV8 got left out, which is understandable, but that means hunting for it elsewhere as this isn't much on its own.
