TAEV-EN089*
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info 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
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info 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
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info 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
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info 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
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info 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
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info 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
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info 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
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info 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
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info 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
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info 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.
TAEV-EN079
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info The Gift of Greed
Normal Trap
Your opponent draws 2 cards.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Even in Deck Destruction decks, this card is pretty bad since your opponent is only adding to their hand. The only use for this is with Greed or Card Destruction. If you aren't running those cards, don't run this.
TAEV-EN078
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Gift Card
Normal Trap
Your opponent gains 3000 Life Points.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Don't use this card unless you're running Bad Reaction to Simochi.
TAEV-EN077

Card Info Trap Reclamation
Normal Trap
Discard 1 card and chain this card to a Trap Card you activated. Whenever that Trap Card is sent to the Graveyard, return it to its owner's hand.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Use Mask of Darkness instead as you don't have to discard anything to retrieve the Trap Card.
TAEV-EN076
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Spell Reclamation
Normal Trap
Discard 1 card and chain this card to a Spell Card you activated. Whenever that Spell Card is sent to the Graveyard, return it to its owner's hand.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: The only use for this is to retrieve a negated Spell Card you activated so you can re-use it but with Magician of Faith coming off the banned list, she'll be a much better card to use than this so use her instead.
TAEV-EN075
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Strike Slash
Normal Trap
Activate only when a monster you control declares an attack. Until the end of this turn, that monster gains 700 ATK, and during battle between that attacking monster and a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of that card, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It gives the designated monster 700 ATK and Trample but, there are already 2 cards that remain on the field, do the job better, and are both Spell Cards so if not using this, use them.
TAEV-EN074
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Shield Spear
Normal Trap
Target monster gains 400 ATK and DEF until the end of this turn.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Use Rush Recklessly instead.
TAEV-EN073
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Destructive Draw
Continuous Trap
If either player has no cards in their hand at the start of their Draw Phase, they can draw 1 more card in addition to their normal draw. This card's controller loses 700 Life Points during their End Phase. (If less than 700, they become 0 instead.) When this face-up card is removed from the field, inflict 3000 damage to the player who controlled it.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: A very bad card indeed. First, you take 700 damage each turn and if you have less than 700 Life Points, you lose the duel and worse yet, if the card leaves the field, you take 3000 damage!
TAEV-EN072
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Common Charity
Normal Trap
Draw 2 cards, then remove from play 1 Normal Monster Card from your hand. If you don't have any Normal Monster Cards in your hand to remove, send all cards in your hand to the Graveyard.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: This card is best in Normal Monster or Dark World decks so keep it there.
TAEV-EN071
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Venom Burn
Normal Trap
Select 1 monster with a Venom Counter(s). Remove all Venom Counters from that card, and inflict 700 damage to your opponent for each Venom Counter removed.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Same as TAEV-EN070's comments.
TAEV-EN070
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Ambush Fangs
Normal Trap
Activate only when a face-up "Venom" monster you control is declared as an attack target. Negate the attack and end the Battle Phase. Then place 1 Venom Counter on the monster that attacked.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: A good card for Reptile decks but not so much elsewhere.
TAEV-EN069
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Rise of the Snake Deity
Normal Trap
Activate only when a face-up "Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes" you control is destroyed. Special Summon 1 "Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes" from your hand or Deck.
COMMON

Comments: Unless you're running both Vennominion and Vennominaga, don't use this card.
TAEV-EN068
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Snake Deity's Command
Counter Trap
Activate by showing your opponent 1 "Venom" monster in your hand. Negate the activation and effect of an opponent's Spell Card, and destroy it.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: In Reptile decks, this card's okay but elsewhere, stick to Magic Jammer instead.
TAEV-EN067
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Damage = Reptile
Continuous Trap
Once per turn, when you take Battle Damage from a battle involving a Reptile-Type monster, you can Special Summon 1 Reptile-Type monster from your Deck with ATK less than or equal to the Battle Damage you took.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: In order to bring out a strong Reptile-Type monster, you'd have to take some serious damage, which could cost you the duel in the end.
TAEV-EN066
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Snake Whistle
Normal Trap
Activate only when a Reptile-Type monster you control is destroyed. Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Reptile-Type monster from your Deck.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: While it can be useful when you're out of monsters or when you need an extra defense for your opponent's next attack, your opponent can chain Torrential Tribute, causing you to lose that monster and perhaps the duel.
TAEV-EN065
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Cocoon Veil
Normal Trap
Activate by Tributing 1 face-up "Chrysalis" monster. This turn, any damage to a player caused by an effect becomes 0. Special Summon 1 "Neo-Spacian" monster written on the "Chrysalis" monster you Tributed, from your hand, Deck or from either player's Graveyard.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Use Barrel Behind the Door instead since you can make your opponent take the damage instead and keep this card in Jaden's Neo Space deck.
TAEV-EN064
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Hero Counterattack
Normal Trap
Activate only when an "Elemental Hero" monster you control is destroyed by battle. Your opponent selects 1 random card from your hand. If that card is an "Elemental Hero" monster, destroy 1 monster your opponent controls, then Special Summon the selected card.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Make sure you have plenty of monsters in your hand before you activate this or you will be out one card and probably taking serious damage to your Life Points.
TAEV-EN063*
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Mirror Gate
Normal Trap
Activate only when your opponent's monster declares an attack targeting a face-up "Elemental Hero" monster you control. Switch control of the opponent's attacking monster with the targeted monster you control, then calculate damage. Control of those monsters switches back during the End Phase of this turn.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Not the best card in this set being a Super Rare but at least it didn't keep its Ultra Rare status like in TAEV-JP. Still, it's still not anymore playable since it's basically Creature Swap in Trap Card form that applies to Elemental Heroes.
TAEV-EN062
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Broken Bamboo Sword
Equip Spell
The equipped monster gains 0 ATK.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: *Laughs hysterically* This is nowhere NEAR broken and it's only use is for taking out Spirit Reaper or with one of two other useless cards (Eternal Rest and Really Eternal Rest) Don't EVER use this.
TAEV-EN061
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Amulet of Ambition
Equip Spell
Equip only to a Normal Monster. If it battles a monster with a higher Level, the equipped monster gains 500 ATK x the difference in Levels (during that battle only). When this card is sent to the Graveyard, you can return it to the top of your Deck.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Gaining 500 x the difference in the levels of the two monsters isn't too bad considering if it's a weak monster, it'll get a major boost but it only lasts for one attack, which really hurts it.
TAEV-EN060
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Symbols of Duty
Equip Spell
Send 1 Normal Monster you control to the Graveyard. Select and Special Summon 1 monster from either Graveyard and equip it with this card. When this card is removed from the field, destroy the equipped monster.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It can be useful if you send a weak Normal Monster to your Graveyard to take a stronger monster from your opponent but that's about it.
TAEV-EN059
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Phalanx Pike
Equip Spell
The equipped monster gains 900 ATK for each card in either Graveyard that has the same name it does.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Not much use for this card. The equipped monster may gain 900 ATK per monster but the monsters must be in the Graveyard. Might be decent in a Normal Monster deck though.
TAEV-EN058
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Creature Seizure
Normal Spell
Each player gives their opponent control of 1 of their monsters (controller's choice). You must choose a face-up Normal Monster.

Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Double Summon
Normal Spell
You can Normal Summon 1 additional time this turn. You can only gain this effect once per turn.

TAEV-EN055
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Flint Missile
Quick-Play Spell
Destroy 1 monster equipped with "Flint". You can return this card to your Deck instead of sending it to the Graveyard after it resolves.

Card Info Cyberdark Impact!
Normal Spell
Return 1 "Cyberdark Edge", "Cyberdark Keel" and "Cyberdark Horn" from your side of the field, hand, or Graveyard to your Deck. Special Summon 1 "Cyberdark Dragon" from your Fusion Deck. (This Special Summon is treated as a Fusion Summon.)
SECRET RARE

Comments: The Contact Fusion for Cyber Dark Dragon! It's definitely better than using Polymerization/Future Fusion, Overload Fusion but still not a great card to use.
TAEV-EN053
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Venom Shot
Normal Spell
Activate only while you control a face-up "Venom" monster, "Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes", or "Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes". Send 1 Reptile-Type monster from your Deck to the Graveyard and place 2 Venom Counters on 1 face-up monster your opponent controls.

Continuous Spell
You can Tribute 1 face-up "Chrysalis" monster you control to Special Summon 1 "Neo-Spacian" monster written in the card text of that card from either player's Graveyard.

Comments: While not the worst card in the set, it's not the best either but it can be somewhat okay for bringing out Flare Scarab or Grand Mole though.

Send 1 face-up "Neo-Spacian" monster you control to the Graveyard. Special Summon 1 Level 4 monster with the same name from your Fusion Deck.

Special Summon 1 "Chrysalis" monster from your Deck for each "Neo-Spacian" monster with a different name in your Graveyard.

SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: The PoA for Elemental Heroes and a particularly bad one since you need 5 Elemental Heroes in your Graveyard to use it and Pot is better since it can be ANY 5 monsters. So outside Elemental Heroes, use PoA.
TAEV-EN044
Card Type: Fusion Monster
Card Info Ojama Knight
LIGHT / Beast-Type Fusion / Level 5 / ATK 0 / DEF 2500
1 "Ojama" monster + 1 "Ojama" monster
Select up to 2 of your opponent's Monster Card Zones. The selected zones cannot be used.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: Play him with Ojama King and your opponent cannot Summon or Set anything unless the King and his Knight leave your field and with 2500 DEF, that won't be easy! Plus, summoning him is pretty easy!
TAEV-EN043
Card Type: Fusion Monster
Card Info Elemental Hero Magma Neos
FIRE / Warrior-Type Fusion / Level 9 / ATK 3000 / DEF 2500
"Elemental Hero Neos" + "Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab" + "Neo-Spacian Grand Mole"
This card can only be Special Summoned from your Fusion Deck by returning the above cards you control to the Deck. (You do not use "Polymerization".) This card gains 400 ATK for each card on the field. This card returns to the Fusion Deck during the End Phase. When this card is returned to the Fusion Deck by this effect, return all cards on the field to their owner's hands.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 4
Comments: 3000 ATK and getting 400 ATK for each card on the field for a potential 11,800 ATK is quite decent but he needs 3 monsters to be summoned and without Neo Space, he returns to the Fusion Deck at the End Phase.
TAEV-EN042*
Card Type: Fusion Monster
Card Info Elemental Hero Darkbright
DARK / Warrior-Type Fusion / Level 6 / ATK 2000 / DEF 1000
"Elemental Hero Sparkman" + "Elemental Hero Necroshade"
This monster cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon. 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. If this card attacks, it is changed to Defense Position at the end of the Damage Step. If this card is destroyed, destroy 1 monster your opponent controls.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: The ONLY reason why this card gets 2/5 is because he possesses the trample effect as Dasher can run over this card with ease no matter which mode Darkbright is in.

Comments: Like his twin brother FaFD, Desert Twister isn't any better since he has the same stats, same lousy effect except it's destroying a Spell or Trap instead of a monster and can easily be clobbered by the same monsters.

You can discard this card to the Graveyard to add 1 "Neo Space" from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand.
