CSOC-EN099
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Botanical Lion
EARTH / Plant / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 2000
This card gains 300 ATK for each face-up Plant-Type monster you control. Control of this face-up card cannot switch.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: 2000 DEF and being immune to cards that steal it from you is good enough for a 3-star rating but low ATK keeps it there.
CSOC-EN098
Card Type: Fusion Monster
Card Info Elemental Hero Divine Neos
LIGHT / Warrior-Type Fusion / Level 12 / ATK 2500 / DEF 2500
This card cannot be Special Summoned except by a Fusion Summon of any 5 "Neos", "Neo-Spacian", "Elemental Hero", "Destiny Hero" or "Evil Hero" monsters including at least 1 "Neos" monster, 1 "Neo-Spacian" monster, and 1 "Hero" monster. Once per turn, you can remove from play from 1 "Neos", "Neo-Spacian", "Elemental Hero", "Destiny Hero" or "Evil Hero" monster from your Graveyard to have this card gain 500 ATK. It also gains the removed monster's effect(s), until the End Phase.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: This guy has heavy summoning requirements, pretty low stats for a level 12 monster and unlike NW, is prone to just about everything in the game!
CSOC-EN097
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Neos Wiseman
LIGHT / Spellcaster / Level 10 / ATK 3000 / DEF 3000
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by sending 1 face-up "Elemental Hero Neos" and 1 face-up "Yubel" you control to the Graveyard. This card cannot be destroyed by card effects. If this card battles an opponent's monster, at the end of the Damage Step, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the ATK of the monster it battled, and gain Life Points equal to that monster's DEF.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: It's getting this bad boy out that's the hard part! Succeed and there's very little your opponent can do to stop him! It's his summoning requirements and stats that bring his rating to only 3 stars.
CSOC-EN096
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Red Ogre
EARTH / Zombie / Level 7 / ATK 2800 / DEF 2100
When this card is Normal Summoned, you can send any number of cards from your hand to the Graveyard to return an equal number of cards from the field to their owners' hand.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Since I'm sure your opponent won't have much on the field, this card won't force you to discard a handful but its effect only works when Normal Summoned.
CSOC-EN095
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Goka, the Pyre of Malice
FIRE / Zombie / Level 6 / ATK 2200 / DEF 1900
You can Special Summon this card from your hand if you control a FIRE monster. When this card is Special Summoned this way, destroy 1 FIRE monster you control. During your Standby Phase, Special Summon 1 "Fireball Token" (Pyro-Type/FIRE/Level 1/ATK 100/DEF 100) in Defense Position. You can Tribute 1 other FIRE monster to have this card gain 500 ATK, until the End Phase.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: A card that is beneficial for FIRE decks, especially those that run Backfire but not so great elsewhere.
CSOC-EN094
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Mosaic Manticore
EARTH / Beast / Level 8 / ATK 2800 / DEF 2500
During the Standby Phase of your next turn after you Tribute Summon this card, Special Summon the monsters Tributed to Summon it from your Graveyard. They cannot declare an attack, and their effects are negated.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: At least you can Tribute the monsters or use them for something else but still this card isn't very good.
CSOC-EN093
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Machine Lord Ür
EARTH / Machine / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1500
This card can attack all monsters your opponent controls once each. Any Battle Damage this card inflicts to your opponent becomes 0.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: I'm aware that there is an accent over the U in UR and I'm sure it's pronounced differently but since this card is so terrible I will ignore them with this message "UR not playable".
CSOC-EN092
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Virus Cannon
Normal Trap
Tribute any number of non-Token monsters you control. For each Tributed monster, your opponent selects 1 Spell Card from their Deck and sends it to the Graveyard.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Good thing this card was a Rare as it clearly deserved it (although a Common would've been better). Keep this card inside Kaiba decks only.
CSOC-EN091
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Time Machine
Normal Trap
Activate only when a monster is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard. Special Summon that monster to the same side of the field it was on, in the same battle position it was in when destroyed.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: What hurts this card (and brings this card's rating down) is that it cannot bring back monsters who cannot be Special Summoned except by their methods. It can still bring back other monsters though.
CSOC-EN090
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Puppet Master
DARK / Fiend / Level 6 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
When this card is Tribute Summoned you can pay 2000 Life Points to Special Summon 2 Fiend-Type monsters from your Graveyard. They cannot attack this turn.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: It can bring back 2 Fiend-Type monsters from your Graveyard but at a steep cost, only when Tribute Summoned with its lousy stats and the monsters it Special Summons can't attack right away!
CSOC-EN089
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Treacherous Trap Hole
Normal Trap
Destroy 2 monsters on the field. You cannot activate this card if you have any Trap Cards in your Graveyard.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: What's unfortunate is that its rarity really doesn't support its effect. It's good enough in RFG decks or elsewhere but not good enough for a higher rating.
CSOC-EN088
Card Type: Synchro Monster
Card Info Tempest Magician
DARK / Spellcaster-Type Synchro / Level 6 / ATK 2200 / DEF 1400
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner Spellcaster-Type monsters
When this card is Synchro Summoned, place 1 Spell Counter on it. Once per turn, you can discard any number of cards to place 1 Spell Counter on a monster(s) you control for each card you discarded. You can remove all Spell Counters on the field to inflict 500 damage to your opponent for each removed Spell Counter.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: While his stats and level would bring her rating down, it's her effect that brings it back up. It will see more play if the new Spellcaster deck hits US shores.
CSOC-EN087
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Night's End Sorcerer
DARK / Spellcaster-Type Tuner / Level 2 / ATK 1300 / DEF 400
When this card is Special Summoned, you can remove from play up to 2 cards from your opponent's Graveyard.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Class, what do we know about this card? "Um it's a Tuner monster" Very good, anything else? *crickets* That's right, there is nothing else good about this card!
CSOC-EN086
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Gladiator Beast Retiari
WATER / Aqua / Level 3 / ATK 1200 / DEF 800
When this card is Special Summoned by the effect of a "Gladiator Beast" monster, you can remove from play 1 card from your opponent's Graveyard. At the end of the Battle Phase, if this card attacked or was attacked, you can return it to the Deck to Special Summon 1 "Gladiator Beast" monster from your Deck, except "Gladiator Beast Retiari".
SECRET RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: I think UDE made a typo when translating it's name for it should say "Gladiator Beast Retarded" as it's one of the worst SCR cards out as absolutely NOTHING makes up for its SCR status.
CSOC-EN085
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Rai-Mei
LIGHT / Thunder / Level 3 / ATK 1400 / DEF 1200
When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can add 1 Level 2 or lower LIGHT monster from your Deck to your hand.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It's a no-brainer to take this monster out! What is a hard task though is bringing out a playable monster that fits her requirements.
CSOC-EN084
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Rai-Jin
LIGHT / Thunder / Level 4 / ATK ? / DEF 1000
All LIGHT monsters you control gain 100 ATK for each LIGHT monster in your Graveyard. During your End Phase, destroy 1 LIGHT monster you control. There can only be 1 face-up "Rai-Jin" on the field.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Another bad Super Rare card (like it hasn't happened before). You would need 18+ LIGHT monsters in your Graveyard to make her a threat and what's worse, you have to destroy 1 of your own monsters.
CSOC-EN083
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Overdrive Teleporter
LIGHT / Psychic / Level 6 / ATK 2100 / DEF 1200
This card cannot be Special Summoned. You can pay 2000 Life Points to Special Summon 2 Level 3 Psychic-Type monsters from your Deck. This effect can only be used once while this card is face-up on the field.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: You could use the effect help to bring out Synchro monster but 2000 LPs is a pretty steep cost and since the effect can only be used once while face up, I don't really see why it was made a SCR.
CSOC-EN082
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Cactus Fighter
EARTH / Plant / Level 4 / ATK 1900 / DEF 400
If this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, Special Summon 1 "Needle Token"(Plant-Type/
EARTH/Level 1/ATK 500/DEF 500) to your opponent's side of the field in Defense Position.
RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: He loses 1 star because he gives your opponent an extra defense for their LPs but still a good card overall.
CSOC-EN081*
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Seed of Flame
FIRE / Plant / Level 3 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1200
When this card you control is destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Plant-Type monster, except "Seed of Flame", from your Graveyard. Also, Special Summon 1 "Seed Token" (Plant-Type/EARTH/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) to your opponent's side of the field in Defense Position. This Token cannot be Tributed for a Tribute Summon.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: This card is somewhat useful in Plant decks but absolutely terrible elsewhere.
CSOC-EN080
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Giant Trap Hole
Normal Trap
Activate only when 2 or more monsters are Special Summoned at the same time. Destroy all monsters on the field.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: You could use this to take out the Revival Gift Tokens you gave your opponent but then you would also lose the monster you brought back with RG's effect. Overall not a very playable card.
CSOC-EN079
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Gozen Match
Continuous Trap
Each player sends monsters they control to the Graveyard until they each control monsters of only 1 Attribute. Each player cannot control monsters with different Attributes.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Terrible as once it's effect resolves, there's really nothing going for it.
CSOC-EN078
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info DNA Checkup
Normal Trap
Select 1 face-down monster you control. Your opponent declares 2 Attributes. Reveal the selected monster. If its Attribute is one of the declared Attributes, your opponent draws 2 cards. If not, you draw 2 cards.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Granted, I think this card should be used on Konami since I feel their brains need a checkup for creating this card.
CSOC-EN077
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Trap of the Imperial Tomb
Normal Trap
Activate only when a Zombie-Type monster(s) is Special Summoned from your opponent's Graveyard to your side of the field. Destroy 2 cards on the field.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: I would run this card in the new Zombie World deck or in Zombie decks that use the Zombie World card but not anywhere else.
CSOC-EN076
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Plant Food Chain
Normal Trap
Equip this card to a Plant-Type monster you control. It gains 500 ATK. If this card is destroyed by a card effect while equipped, you can Special Summon 1 Plant-Type monster from your Graveyard.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: This card's rating comes from its activation requirements and needing to be destroyed by a card effect while equipped but at least does not need to be sent to the Grave.
CSOC-EN075
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Bamboo Scrap
Normal Trap
Tribute 1 Plant-Type monster. Special Summon 2 "Plant Tokens" (Plant-Type/EARTH/Level 1/ATK 800/DEF 500) to your opponent's side of the field in Defense Position.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Wow, first the bamboo sword was broken in half, then it became golden, and here it stands in scraps and will most likely literally become scraps of its former card self.
CSOC-EN074
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Pollinosis
Counter Trap
Tribute 1 Plant-Type monster. Negate the activation of a Spell or Trap Card, or the Normal or Special Summon of a monster, and destroy that card.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: If the Plant-Type monster was weak and had nothing to back itself up, then this card isn't too bad but really isn't very good.
CSOC-EN073
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Psychic Trigger
Normal Trap
Activate only while your Life Points are lower than your opponent's. Select 2 Psychic-Type monsters in your Graveyard. Remove them from play and draw 2 cards.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It can be activated somewhat more easily than Pot of Avarice but this card can easily be stopped by Imperial Iron Wall whereas Pot cannot so use PoA instead.
CSOC-EN072
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Morphtronic Monitron
Continuous Trap
When a "Morphtronic" monster is Summoned, you can change it to face-up Defense Position.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Unless for Morphtronic decks, leave this card out of your deck.
CSOC-EN071
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Morphtransition
Normal Trap
Activate only when a face-up "Morphtronic" monster you control is selected as an attack target. Negate the attack, and change the battle position of the selected "Morphtronic" monster.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It saves your monster and your LPs! However, it's still prone to Jinzo and Royal Decree.
CSOC-EN070
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Doppelganger
Continuous Trap
When you take damage from the effect of a monster your opponent controls, inflict the same amount of damage to your opponent.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: If it instead negated the damage you would've taken and inflicted the damage to your opponent, this card would be better but since it doesn't, it gets 2 stars from me.
CSOC-EN069
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Lineage of Destruction
Normal Trap
Activate only during a turn in which you destroyed a Defense Position monster your opponent controlled. Select 1 Level 8 monster you control. During this turn, the selected monster can attack twice.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: This card is terrible! Stick to Cyber Twin Dragon, who not only can take out 1 of the cards that can negate this but can also already attack twice and is a level 8 monster.
CSOC-EN068
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Revival Gift
Normal Trap
Select 1 Tuner monster from your Graveyard and Special Summon it. Its effects are negated. Special Summon 2 "Gift Fiend Tokens" (Fiend-Type/DARK/Level 3/ATK 1500/DEF 1500) to your opponent's side of the field.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: At least you can use the Special Summoned Tuner monster for a Tribute and what not but giving your opponent anything is almost never a good thing.
CSOC-EN067
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Prideful Roar
Normal Trap
Activate only during damage calculation when the ATK of your battling monster is lower than the ATK of your opponent's, and pay Life Points equal to the difference in ATK. Your monster gains ATK equal to that difference +300, during damage calculation only.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: At least it gives your monster a nearly 100% chance of taking out the opponent's monster after all that LPs you paid but still not a great card.
CSOC-EN066
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Synchro Strike
Normal Trap
Target Synchro Summoned monster gains 500 ATK for each Synchro Material Monster used to Summon it, until the End Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: Alone, your Synchro monster gets at least 1000 ATK since you need at least 2 monsters to bring it out! The reason this card's rating isn't higher is because the Synchro monster doesn't keep the boost.
CSOC-EN065
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Urgent Tuning
Normal Trap
Activate only during the Battle Phase. Synchro Summon 1 Synchro Monster. (Send the appropriate Synchro Material Monsters to the Graveyard.)

Card Info Confusion Chaff
Normal Trap
Activate only when your opponent declares a second direct attack during the same Battle Phase. Conduct battle between the attacking monster and the first monster that attacked directly (other effects cannot be activated during this battle).
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: I'm confused, UDE, why'd you make this card when a better one (Magical Arm Shield) already exists? Use MAS instead.
CSOC-EN063
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Battle Mania
Normal Trap
Activate only during your opponent's Standby Phase. All face-up monsters your opponent controls are changed to Attack Position, and cannot change their battle positions this turn. All monsters your opponent currently controls must attack this turn, if able.

CSOC-EN062
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Omega Goggles
Equip Spell
Equip only to a monster you control. Once per turn, you can look at 1 random card in your opponent's hand. The equipped monster cannot attack the turn you activate this effect.

CSOC-EN061

Card Info Secret Village of the Spellcasters
Field Spell
If you control a Spellcaster-Type monster and your opponent does not, your opponent cannot activate Spell Cards. If you control no Spellcaster-Type monsters, you cannot activate Spell Cards.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: I suppose it's the fact that it's easy to get a Spellcaster-Type monster out to your field while your opponent has none that gave UDE a reason to make this card SR but overall this card is very situational.
CSOC-EN060
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Everliving Underworld Cannon
Continuous Spell
Once during each player's turn, when a Zombie-Type monster is Special Summoned to your side of the field, inflict 800 damage to your opponent.

Comments: Sure you can use this card to slowly chip away at your opponent's LPs but 800 damage will take you a while to really make a mark.
CSOC-EN059
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info The World Tree
Continuous Spell
Each time a Plant-Type monster(s) on the field is destroyed, place 1 Flower Counter on this card. You can remove Flower Counters to activate this card's effects. ● Remove 1: Target face-up Plant-Type monster gains 400 ATK and DEF until the End Phase. ● Remove 2: Destroy 1 card on the field.

CSOC-EN058

Normal Spell
Destroy 1 face-up Plant-Type monster on the field and draw 1 card. If that card is a Plant-Type monster, you can reveal it to your opponent and draw 1 more card.

CSOC-EN057
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Miracle Fertilizer
Continuous Spell
Once per turn, you can select 1 Plant-Type monster from your Graveyard and Special Summon it. You cannot Normal Summon or Set the turn you Special Summon a monster with this effect. If a monster Special Summoned by this effect is removed from the field, destroy this card.

Rating: 2
Comments: While not a bad card for letting you bring back any Plant-Type monster you want from your Graveyard, if any one of the monsters you bring back with this goes, so does this card.
CSOC-EN056*
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Psychokinesis
Normal Spell
Activate only while you control a face-up Psychic-Type monster. Destroy 1 card on the field and take 1000 damage.

Once per turn, if your opponent controls a monster and you control no monsters, you can pay 800 Life Points to Special Summon 1 Psychic-Type monster from your hand.

Continuous Spell
When a card(s) is sent from your opponent's Deck to the Graveyard by a card effect, inflict 300 damage to your opponent.

Comments: This is a card that could hurt Lightsworn decks as they have plenty of cards that require sending cards from the top of the deck to the Graveyard but Macro Cosmos screws this card over.
CSOC-EN053
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Poison Chain
Continuous Spell
During the End Phase of your turn, if you did not attack, your opponent sends cards equal to the number of face-up "Iron Chain" monsters you control from the top of their Deck to the Graveyard.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It can hurt your opponent's deck, that is if the deck isn't DARK or Lightsworn! It's the fact that DARK and Lightsworn decks can take advantage of this card that this card's rating is only 2 stars.
CSOC-EN052
Card Type: Spell Card

Equip only to a Level 3 "Morphtronic" monster. Its ATK becomes double its original ATK. During your second Standby Phase after this card's activation, destroy this card, and take damage equal to the original ATK of the equipped monster.

Quick-Play Spell
Remove from play all "Morphtronic" monsters from your Graveyard. Target face-up Machine-Type monster you control gains 200 ATK for each card removed, until the End Phase.

Rating: 2
Comments: You can't have 100 Machine-Type monsters in your Graveyard or deck but this gives your Morphtronic or other Machines a temporary boost. A card only for Morphtronic decks. 
CSOC-EN048
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Black Garden
Field Spell
When a monster is Normal or Special Summoned, except by the effect of "Black Garden", halve its ATK and Special Summon 1 "Rose Token" (Plant-Type/DARK/Level 2/ATK 800/DEF 800) to its controller's opponent's side of the field, in Attack Position. You can destroy this card and all face-up Plant-Type monsters on the field and Special Summon 1 monster with ATK equal to the total ATK of those monsters from your Graveyard.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Basically the only good thing about it is being able to destroy it and bring back 1 of your monsters (hence the 2-star rating) but the monster's ATK must equal the ATK of the destroyed monsters.
