Shadows in Valhalla
SHVA-EN006
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Ride of the Valkyries
Normal Spell
Special Summon any number of “Valkyrie” monsters with different names from your hand. If you Special Summoned 3 or more monsters with this effect, you take no battle damage until the end of the next turn. During the End Phase of the turn you activated this card, shuffle all monsters you control into the Deck. You can banish this card from your GY; add 1 “Mischief of the Time Goddess” from your Deck to your hand. You can only use this effect of “Ride of the Valkyries” once per turn.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: We can't bring out multiple copies of the same Valkyrie like Zigfried did so this does lose a bit of playability but this has an extra perk that the original card did not (that we know of anyway). Plus, once it's been played and in the Grave, you can get Mischief of the Time Goddess and render the main side-effect of this card moot.
SHVA-EN005
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Fortune Chariot
WIND / Fairy-Type Union / Level 6 / ATK 1000 / DEF 2000
(This card is also always treated as a “Valkyrie” card.)
Once per turn, you can either: Target 1 Fairy monster you control; equip this card to that target, OR: Unequip this card and Special Summon it. If the equipped monster would be destroyed by battle or card effect, destroy this card instead. The equipped monster can attack directly, but when it does so using this effect, the battle damage inflicted to your opponent is halved.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: While not very strong, Valhalla can bring it out more easily and then you'll be able to play another Valkyrie and make use of the effect. Still, attacking directly means it only deals half the damage.
SHVA-EN004
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Valkyrie Brunhilde
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 7 / ATK 1800 / DEF 2000
Unaffected by your opponent’s Spell effects. Gains 500 ATK for each monster your opponent controls. When an opponent’s monster declares an attack: You can have this card lose exactly 1000 DEF, and if you do, your “Valkyrie” monsters cannot be destroyed by battle this turn.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: While your opponent's Spell effects can't do anything to it and it gains 500 ATK for each of their monsters, it's not very strong and preventing destruction in battle costs it 1000 DEF, which it will generally only be able to do twice. Plus, unless those monsters are in Defense Mode or The Sanctuary in the Sky is in play, you'll probably be taking some damage anyway.
SHVA-EN003
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Valkyrie Erste
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 6 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1800
If this card is Special Summoned from your hand by a Spell effect: You can target 1 “Mischief of the Time Goddess” in your GY; add it to your hand. If you control a “Valkyrie” monster other than “Valkyrie Erste” (Quick Effect): You can banish 1 monster from your opponent’s GY, then this card’s ATK becomes equal to the banished monster’s original ATK until the end of this turn. You can only use each effect of “Valkyrie Erste” once per turn.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen is an obvious choice to use with this as it was designed to support high-level Fairy-Type monsters and it's a Spell Card included in this set. Plus, it gets a pretty decent Spell Card that has been either lost or used up previously. The ATK change effect isn't too bad either but requires you to have another differently named Valkyrie monster out and doesn't keep it for long.
SHVA-EN002
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Valkyrie Zweite
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 5 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1600
If this card is Summoned: You can target 1 monster your opponent controls; destroy it. After damage calculation, if this card battled: You can target 1 Continuous Spell in your GY; add it to your hand. You can only use each effect of “Valkyrie Zweite” once per turn.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: With only 1600 ATK and DEF for a Level 5 monster and pretty poor effects, it's just not worth the effort, even with Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen.
SHVA-EN001
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Valkyrie Dritte
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 4 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1600
If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add 1 “Valkyrie” card from your Deck to your hand, except "Valkyrie Dritte". You can only use this effect of "Valkyrie Dritte" once per turn. Gains 200 ATK for each of your opponent’s banished monsters.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Zigfried's Valkyries are finally here and they've gotten a buff from the anime but this one wasn't given a big enough of one to become all that useful.
Structure Deck: Powercode Link
SDPL-EN042
Card Type: Link Monster
Card Info LANphorhynchus
LIGHT / Cyberse-Type Link / ATK 1200 / Link-2
Active Link Arrow(s): Bottom-Left and Bottom-Right
2 monsters
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: A Structure Deck shouldn't be the product that contains awful cards like this. It's even worse than Traffic Ghost.
SDPL-EN041
Card Type: Link Monster
Card Info Traffic Ghost
DARK / Cyberse-Type Link / ATK 1800 / Link-3
Active Link Arrow(s): Bottom, Bottom-Left and Bottom-Right
3 monsters
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Gaia Saber didn't have the perks to make its rating high and this guy doesn't either since it's weaker and takes the same amount of effort.
SDPL-EN040
Card Type: Link Monster
Card Info Powercode Talker
FIRE / Cyberse-Type Link / ATK 2300 / Link-3
Active Link Arrow(s): Left, Right and Bottom-Right
3 monsters
Once per turn: You can target 1 face-up monster on the field; negate that target's effects until the end of this turn. Once per turn, if this card battles an opponent's monster, during damage calculation (Quick Effect): You can Tribute 1 monster this card points to; this card's ATK becomes double its original ATK during that damage calculation only.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It's a bit more work than Effect Veiler, which already has pretty much the same effect, but can do it each turn and doesn't take as much effort as other Link Monsters. Plus it can make itself become twice as strong during either player's turn, so long as you can Tribute a monster each time you want to use the effect.
SDPL-EN031
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Packet Link
Normal Trap
During Main Phase 2: Special Summon any number of Level 2 or lower monsters with different names from your hand, Deck, and/or GY to your zone(s) a Link Monster(s) points to. You can only activate 1 "Packet Link" per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: The more Link Monsters in play, the more Level 2 or lower monsters you can bring out, though most of them are pretty bad.
SDPL-EN021
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Cynet Storm
Field Spell
All linked monsters on the field gain 500 ATK/DEF. Link Summons of Link Monsters cannot be negated. Once per Chain, if you take 2000 or more battle or effect damage: You can shuffle the face-down cards in your Extra Deck, excavate the top card, and if it is a Cyberse Link Monster, Special Summon it. Otherwise, return it to the Extra Deck.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: A mere 500 ATK and DEF isn't going to be enough to warrant using this but the 2nd effect isn't all that bad. The last effect is so bad that I can't rate this card any higher.
SDPL-EN009
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Cyberse Gadget
LIGHT / Cyberse / Level 4 / ATK 1400 / DEF 300
When this card is Normal Summoned: You can target 1 Level 2 or lower monster in your GY; Special Summon it in Defense Position, but its effects are negated. If this card is sent from the field to the GY: You can Special Summon 1 "Gadget Token" (Cyberse/LIGHT/Level 2/ATK 0/DEF 0). You can only use this effect of "Cyberse Gadget" once per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Much like Lady Debug, I can't imagine most Level 2 or lower monsters are worthwhile but there are a few to make this card about as worthwhile.
SDPL-EN008
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Segmental Dragon
LIGHT / Cyberse / Level 7 / ATK 2600 / DEF 2400
You can Normal Summon/Set this card without Tributing, but its original ATK/DEF becomes halved. Once per turn, if this Normal Summoned/Set card is on the field (Quick Effect): You can destroy this face-up card, and if you do, destroy all monsters in the Main Monster Zones with ATK less than or equal to the ATK this card had on the field.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Well it goes further than Fusilier Dragon the Dual-Mode Beast but not by much, mostly because it has more effects.
SDPL-EN007
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Storm Cipher
DARK / Cyberse / Level 4 / ATK 2400 / DEF 0
Cannot attack directly, or attack monsters in the Extra Monster Zone. Unaffected by monster effects activated in the Extra Monster Zone. Cannot be destroyed by battle with monsters in the Extra Monster Zone.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: One can't expect much if the monster is Level 4 with very high ATK and this guy has some downsides but not enough of them for me to write it off as terrible.
SDPL-EN006
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Antialian
EARTH / Cyberse / Level 4 / ATK 1900 / DEF 600
Once per turn, if this card battled a monster this Battle Phase, you can (Quick Effect): Immediately after this effect resolves, Normal Summon 1 Cyberse monster. If this face-up card you control leaves the field because of an opponent's card effect: Draw 1 card.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: A new beatstick monster emerges and the effects, while not great, do not cause any harm if you use it on its own.
SDPL-EN005
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Lady Debug
LIGHT / Cyberse / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 1400
If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add 1 Level 3 or lower Cyberse monster from your Deck to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Lady Debug" once per turn.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: I wouldn't consider most Level 3 monsters in general to be all that good but the effect is pretty versatile, though that's the only thing this card has going for it.
SDPL-EN004
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Flame Bufferlo
FIRE / Cyberse / Level 3 / ATK 1400 / DEF 200
If this face-up card leaves the field: You can discard 1 Cyberse monster, and if you do, draw 2 cards. You can only use this effect of "Flame Bufferlo" once per turn.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It doesn't care how it leaves the field but it'll cost you an extra monster just to use the effect and without any other effects, it's still not very good.
SDPL-EN003
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Sea Archiver
WATER / Cyberse / Level 3 / ATK 300 / DEF 2100
If a monster is Normal or Special Summoned to a zone a Link Monster points to (except during the Damage Step): You can Special Summon this card from your GY (if it was there when the Summon resolved) or hand (even if not), but banish it when it leaves the field. You can only use this effect of "Sea Archiver" once per turn.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Not much better than Garbage Collector, both in DEF and other properties, but it's also not worse.
SDPL-EN002
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Garbage Collector
WIND / Cyberse / Level 2 / ATK 100 / DEF 1900
You can target 1 other Cyberse monster you control that began the Duel in the Main Deck; return it to the hand, and if you do, Special Summon from your Deck 1 Cyberse monster with the same Level, but with a different name. You can only use this effect of "Garbage Collector" once per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It's lucky it has 1900 DEF because there's nothing else that make it useful.
SDPL-EN001
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Datacorn
EARTH / Cyberse / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
If this card is Special Summoned: You can Special Summon 1 "Data Acorn Token" (Cyberse/DARK/
Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0). You can only use this effect of "Datacorn" once per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: A free Token isn't all that bad and it's pretty easy to Special Summon monsters but the effect is once per turn and there's nothing else worthwhile.
