TAEV-EN089*
Blazewing Butterfly
FIRE / Insect-Type Gemini / Level 4 / ATK 1500 / DEF 1500
This card is treated as a Normal Monster while face-up on the field or in the Graveyard. While this card is face-up on the field, you can Normal Summon it to have it be treated as an Effect Monster with this effect:
● You can Tribute this card to Special Summon 1 Gemini monster from your Graveyard, except "Blazewing Butterfly". A Gemini monster Special Summoned by this effect is treated as an Effect Monster, and gains its effect.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: While his stats are low, you can tribute it to bring back a stronger Gemini monster and as a bonus, the summoned Gemini monster gets its effect! Not to shabby overall!
TAEV-EN088
Il Blud
DARK / Zombie-Type Gemini / Level 6 / ATK 2100 / DEF 800
This card is treated as a Normal Monster while face-up on the field or in the Graveyard. While this card is face-up on the field, you can Normal Summon it to have it be treated as an Effect Monster with this effect:
● Once per turn, you can Special Summon 1 Zombie-Type monster from your hand or from either player's Graveyard. When this card is removed from the field, destroy all Zombie-Type monsters Special Summoned by this effect.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: The Doom Shaman for Zombies, making this guy decent in Zombie decks but since he lacks 300 ATK than his counter part, I cannot give him anything higher than 3/5.
TAEV-EN087
Phantom Dragonray Bronto
WATER / Fish-Type Gemini / Level 4 / ATK 1500 / DEF 1000
This card is treated as a Normal Monster while face-up on the field or in the Graveyard. While this card is face-up on the field, you can Normal Summon it to have it be treated as an Effect Monster with this effect:
● The original ATK of this card becomes 2300. If this card attacks, it is changed to Defense Position at the end of the Battle Phase. This card's battle position cannot be changed until the end of your next turn, except with a card effect.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: If I had to pick between Normal Summoning Goblin Attack Force or re-summoning this guy, I'd choose GAF simply because this guy has a mere 1500 ATK and won't last long enough to get the 2300 ATK.
TAEV-EN086
Fossil Tusker
EARTH / Rock / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 0
When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, inflict 400 damage to your opponent.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: 1800 ATK is decent for a Rock-Type monster but 0 DEF only hurts it and minimal burn damage hurts it even more so keep him in a Rock, EARTH or Beat down deck only.
TAEV-EN085
Mormolith
EARTH / Rock / Level 4 / ATK 1000 / DEF 900
You can Tribute 1 EARTH monster to destroy all face-up monsters with DEF equal to or less than the ATK of the Tributed card.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: Tribute it without any boost and clobber all the Monarchs at once or power it up and destroy the big ones like Horus and Jinzo!
TAEV-EN084
Abyssal Kingshark
WATER / Fish / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 600
Once per turn, if this card would be destroyed by an effect that does not target it, it is not destroyed.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: 1700 ATK doesn't make the cut anymore and his effect doesn't help either as he can still be targeted by Trap Hole and can easily be run over by Level 3 1750 ATK Jerry Beans Man! A horrible card to use.
TAEV-EN083
Cranium Fish
WATER / Fish / Level 6 / ATK 2400 / DEF 1000
You can Special Summon this card by Tributing 1 "Ocean's Keeper". You can discard 1 WATER monster to the Graveyard to destroy 1 face-down card.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 4
Comments: At 2400 ATK, he rivals Amphibian Beast but his effect isn't really worth activating, though.
TAEV-EN082
Thousand-Eyes Jellyfish
WATER / Fish / Level 5 / ATK 300 / DEF 2100
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by Tributing 1 "Ocean's Keeper". Your opponent must play with their hand revealed.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: 2100 DEF for a Level 5 monster is bad to start but having to Special Summon it by another monster not even worth playing is truly horrendous! Don't ever run him, as there are better fish in the sea to use.
TAEV-EN081
Ocean's Keeper
WATER / Fish / Level 3 / ATK 1500 / DEF 1200
During battle between this attacking card and a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of this card, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent. When this card is destroyed by battle, add 1 "Thousand-Eyes Jellyfish" or 1 "Cranium Fish" from your Deck to your hand.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: He won't be guarding the ocean that long and while he possesses the Trample ability, so do the other monsters that are stronger than he is!
TAEV-EN080
Counter Counter
Normal Trap
Negate the activation of a Counter Trap Card, and destroy it.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Thanks UDE for creating another useless card! However, this one's the worst of all since you're negating a Counter Trap and destroying it! Use Royal Decree instead.
