DLG1-EN112
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Gellenduo
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 0
This card cannot be destroyed by battle. When this card's controller takes any damage, destroy this card. If you Tribute Summon a LIGHT Fairy-type monster, you can treat this 1 monster as 2 Tribute Monsters for the Tribute Summon.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Well if you can keep it in Defense Mode both you and it will survive but I doubt that'll be for very long and Spirit Reaper is indeed the better card.
DLG1-EN111
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Nova Summoner
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 4 / ATK 1400 / DEF 800
When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 LIGHT Fairy-Type monster with 1500 or less ATK from your Deck. If "The Sanctuary in the Sky" is on the field, you can Special Summon 1 "Airknight Parshath" instead.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: Since she's literally a Shining Angel with a different art, name and rarity, she gets the same rating as that card.
DLG1-EN110
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Meltiel, Sage of the Sky
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1200
Each time a Counter Trap Card is activated, gain 1000 Life Points, and if "The Sanctuary in the Sky" is on the field, destroy 1 card your opponent controls.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Well she's one rarity down from her debut in STON but her playability has not improved as her effects can't just activate by having her face up on the field.
DLG1-EN109
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Destiny Draw
Normal Spell
Discard 1 "Destiny Hero" card. Draw 2 cards.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: The reason its rating is only 3 stars is because of its specific activation requirements. Good to use in DARK or Destiny Hero decks, though.
DLG1-EN108
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Destiny Hero - Malicious
DARK / Warrior / Level 6 / ATK 800 / DEF 800
You can remove from play this card from your Graveyard to Special Summon 1 "Destiny Hero - Malicious" from your Deck.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: An expensive card to say the least, most likely only because of how rare it is not how good it is, (which it isn't) It does provide an extra tribute but it isn't worth bringing out normally.
DLG1-EN107
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Card Trooper
EARTH / Machine / Level 3 / ATK 400 / DEF 400
Once per turn, you can send up to 3 cards from the top of your Deck to the Graveyard. This card gains 500 ATK for each card sent to the Graveyard until the End Phase. When this card you control is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, draw 1 card.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: An expensive card to say the least, most likely only because of how rare it is not how good it is, (which it isn't) It does provide an extra tribute but it isn't worth bringing out normally.
DLG1-EN106
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Dark Bribe
Normal Trap
Negate the activation and effect of an opponent's Spell or Trap Card and destroy it. Your opponent draws 1 card.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: Certainly worthy of being Ultra Rare since it lets you negate any Spell or Trap your opponent activates for letting your opponent draw a card. It's because your opponent draws a card that this card gets only 3 stars.  
DLG1-EN105
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Ancient Lamp
WIND / Spellcaster / Level 3 / ATK 900 / DEF 1400
When this face-down Defense Position card is attacked by your opponent's monster, you can select another monster your opponent controls to be attacked instead. While this card is face-up on the field, you can Special Summon 1 "La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp" from your hand.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: The fact that he has to be face down to get the effect really hurts it and its playability. There are a few ways for it to work somewhat well, though.  
DLG1-EN104
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest
EARTH / Beast / Level 7 / ATK 2600 / DEF 1800
When a Beast-Type monster you control is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, you can pay 1000 Life Points to Special Summon this card from your hand or the Graveyard.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: He won't defend the forest very often if you lose him via Bottomless, making you 1000 points closer to losing.
DLG1-EN103
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Des Mosquito
DARK / Insect / Level 3 / ATK 500 / DEF 500
When this card is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned, place 2 counters on it. This card gains 500 ATK for each of these counters on it. If this card would be destroyed by battle, remove 1 of this card's counters instead.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Unlike most monsters with his cards' stats, this guy can last a bit longer and you can too (if he's in Defense Mode) However, he won't get the "bonus" if Flip Summoned.
DLG1-EN102
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Metal Shooter
LIGHT / Machine / Level 5 / ATK 800 / DEF 800
When this card is Normal Summoned, place 2 counters on it. This card gains 800 ATK for each of these counters on it. If this card would be destroyed by a card effect, remove 1 of this card's counters instead.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: At least when he hits the field, he makes up for the one tribute and his bad stats with his effect but overall not very good at all.
DLG1-EN101
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Blizzard Dragon
WATER / Dragon / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1000
Once per turn, you can select 1 monster your opponent controls. It cannot change its battle position or declare an attack until the end of your opponent's next turn.
RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: With an ability to stop an opponent's monster from attacking, that raises its chances of staying on the field or for you to take the "frozen" monster out and his 1800 ATK is decent to say the least!
DLG1-EN100
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Exchange of the Spirit
Normal Trap
Activate only while there are 15 or more cards in your Graveyard. Pay 1000 Life Points. Both players swap the card(s) in their Graveyard with the card(s) in their Deck. Then, both players shuffle their Deck.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: It's days of playability have ended but if it were to come back, it would actually get more playability than before but I don't see that happening but somehow I think UDE did.  
DLG1-EN099
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Embodiment of Apophis
Continuous Trap
Activate only during a Main Phase. After activation, Special Summon this card; it is treated as a Normal Monster Card (Reptile-Type/EARTH/Level 4/ATK 1600/DEF 1800). (This card is also still treated as a Trap Card.)
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Perhaps the reason for this card's rarity is because it has no other restrictions for activation or what you can do with your "monster".  Not very good except for tributes.
DLG1-EN098
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Amazoness Chain Master
EARTH / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1500 / DEF 1300
When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can pay 1500 Life Points to look at your opponent's hand, select 1 Monster Card in it, and add that card to your hand.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: At least she goes to a more fitting rarity. It's very easy to kill her in battle (possibly explaining her rarity) but paying 1500 LPs just to have a monster in your opponent's deck is pretty bad overall.
DLG1-EN097
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Cyber Harpie Lady
WIND / Winged Beast / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1300
This card's name is treated as "Harpie Lady".
SUPER RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: It's just a regular beatstick so I'm clueless as to why it's Super Rare. Granted it does work with the other Harpie cards but pretty much all of the other Harpie support is easier to get than this. Decent nonetheless.  
DLG1-EN096
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Kaibaman
LIGHT / Warrior / Level 3 / ATK 200 / DEF 700
You can Tribute this card to Special Summon 1 "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" from your hand.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It summons your BEWD more easily but so does Ancient Rules, which needs nothing at all and you can still Normal Summon afterwards.  
DLG1-EN095
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Cloning
Normal Trap
Activate only when your opponent Normal Summons or Flip Summons a monster. Special Summon 1 "Clone Token" that has the same original Level, Type, Attribute, ATK, and DEF as the Summoned monster. When that monster is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, destroy this Token.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Yes you get to summon a generally strong Token but if the monster goes, so does the token and the token doesn't gain  the monster's effect(s).
DLG1-EN094
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Relieve Monster
Normal Trap
Activate only when your opponent declares an attack. Return 1 monster you control to its owner's hand, then Special Summon 1 Level 4 monster from your hand.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: This card is pretty restrictive on what it can bring out, especially since not all level 4 monsters are Normal Summon or Special Summonable by this method.
DLG1-EN093
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Copycat
LIGHT / Spellcaster / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
When this card is Summoned, select 1 monster your opponent controls. This card's ATK and DEF become equal to the selected monster's original ATK and DEF.
RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: With his low base stats, he escapes Trap Hole and Bottomless! Plus he's searchable by Sangan and Shining Angel! The only downside is he cannot select 1 of your monsters but still a good card.
DLG1-EN092
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Blast Sphere
DARK / Machine / Level 4 / ATK 1400 / DEF 1400
If an opponent's monster attacks this face-down Defense Position card, this card becomes an Equip Card equipped to the attacking monster, without damage calculation. Destroy the equipped monster and this card during the Standby Phase of your opponent's next turn, and inflict damage to your opponent equal to the equipped monster's ATK.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: Weak stats allow it with little struggle to get equipped onto the unsuspecting opponent's monster! The fact is that it does not destroy the monster right away and must be face down.
DLG1-EN091
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Scapegoat
Quick-Play Spell
If you activate this card, you cannot Summon other monsters this turn. Special Summon 4 "Sheep Tokens" (Beast-Type/EARTH/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) in Defense Position. The "Sheep Tokens" cannot be used as a Tribute for a Tribute Summon (or Set).
SUPER RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: A good way to defend yourself from multiple attacks, or use them for monster effects!
DLG1-EN090
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Penguin Soldier
WATER / Aqua / Level 2 / ATK 750 / DEF 500
FLIP: You can return up to 2 Monster Cards from the field to their owner's hands.
RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: Being able to return any 2 monsters your opponent has, or your own is pretty good!
DLG1-EN089

DLG1-EN088
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info The Flute of Summoning Dragon
Normal Spell
Activate only while "Lord of D." is face-up on the field. Special Summon up to 2 Dragon-Type monsters from your hand.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: This card hurts in many ways: Lord of D must be on the field (and chances are it won't be) and you need this card in your hand, plus at least 2 Dragon-Type monsters in your hand.
DLG1-EN087
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Lord of D.
DARK / Spellcaster / Level 4 / ATK 1200 / DEF 1100
While this card remains face-up on the field, all Dragon-Type monsters cannot be targeted by Spell Cards, Trap Cards, or Effect Monster's effects.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: His low stats give him such low playability as they won't allow him to last long on the field.
DLG1-EN086
Card Type: Normal Monster
Card Info La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp (original artwork)
DARK / Fiend / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1000

DLG1-EN085
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Card Destruction
Normal Spell
You and your opponent discard your entire hands and draw the same number of cards from your respective Decks that you discarded.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: A good way to throw out your bad hand or your opponent's good hand to give you a better hand and foil your opponent's strategy!
DLG1-EN084
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Wall of Illusion
DARK / Fiend / Level 4 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1850
A monster that attacks this card is returned to its owner's hand after damage calculation. Damage calculation is applied normally.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: 1850 DEF blocks attacks from the 1800 ATK beatsticks or the Familiar Possessed monsters but is no match for anything above that. It can at least temporarily annoy your opponent though.
DLG1-EN083
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Messenger of Peace
Continuous Spell
During each of your Standby Phases pay 100 Life Points or destroy this card. Neither player can declare attacks with face-up monsters with 1500 or more ATK.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: 100 LPs is a very small cost for keeping your monsters safe but it only stops monsters with ATK at at least 1500, letting monsters such as Shining Angel slip by and chip away at your LPs.
DLG1-EN082
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Luminous Spark
Field Spell
All LIGHT monsters gain 500 ATK and lose 400 DEF.

Field Spell
All EARTH monsters gain 500 ATK and lose 400 DEF.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: 500 ATK may seem like a lot and for some monsters, it is but it applies to your opponent's EARTH monsters too and there aren't many monsters this will work well on.

This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned while you control "Toon World". You can Special Summon this card from your hand (but Tributes are required if it is Level 5 or higher). This card cannot attack during the turn it is Summoned. This card cannot attack unless you pay 500 Life Points. When "Toon World" is destroyed, destroy this card. If your opponent doesn't control a Toon Monster, this card can attack your opponent directly. If your opponent controls a face-up Toon Monster you must select it as an attack target.

This card gains 500 ATK for each Equip Card equipped to it.

Rating: 1
Comments: I generally think any Equip Spell Card with less than +700 ATK or DEF boost is pretty bad, unless used for Maha Vailo but even then, Axe of Despair and Malevolent Nuzzler are better than this card.

Comments: Speaking of that card, it's next on the list. I suppose it isn't too bad with Harpie's Hunting Ground (that is unless you have all the Spell and Trap Cards out) but is overall pretty bad.
