Mispprinted YuGi-Oh CArds (Page 2)

*Cards below are based on actual misprinted cards.
LON-006
Revival Jam
WATER / Aqua / Level 4 / ATK 1500 / DEF 500
This card is not destroyed as a result of battle when this card battles with a monster with an ATK of 1900 or more. (Damage calculation is applied normally.)
SUPER RARE
Comments: Even with this text, it's already more playable than the version we got and reflects the anime where Buster Blader couldn't destroy it and neither could Slifer the Sky Dragon.
MRL-006
Spellbinding Circle
Continuous Trap
When your opponent attacks with a monster, negate the attack and make your opponent's Battle Phase end.
ULTRA RARE
Comments: A banning would be in its inevitable future as it'd be on the field with little to get in its way, though not so much today.
LOB-059
Polymerization (original artwork)
Normal Spell
You can only activate this card when a Fusion Monster is Special Summoned. Return all face-up Fusion Monsters on the field to their respective Fusion Decks.
SUPER RARE
Comments: Ironic that it would have an anti-Fusion Summoning effect but no one would be able to use it.
MFC-000
Dark Magician Girl (original artwork)
DARK / Spellcaster / Level 4 / ATK 2000 / DEF 1700
Each time this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, this card gains 300 ATK. If this card does not attack during your turn, the ATK gained from this effect returns to 0 during the End Phase of that turn.
SECRET RARE
Comments: While its rarity perfectly fits with having such high stats for a Level 4 monster, the effect also fits considering monsters this strong typically have a draw back or three. This one's drawback isn't that big though.
LOB-070
Red-eyes B. Dragon (original artwork)
LIGHT / Fiend / Level 7 / ATK 2400 / DEF 2000
A ferocious dragon with a deadly attack.
ULTRA RARE
Comments: Neither of its errors accurately fit what the monster is physically. It's a dragon with red eyes. Regardless, it stil has as much uses as the real card does today.  
PGD-106
Nightmare Wheel
Continuous Trap
Select 1 face-up monster on your opponent's side of the field. Decrease the ATK of the selected monster by 700 points. The monster cannot attack or change its battle position. When the selected monster is destroyed or removed from the field, this card is also destroyed.
ULTRA RARE
Comments: Not much different to the actual card's effect but it's actually better.  
MRL-076
Toon World
Continuous Spell
Pay 1000 Life Points to look at your opponent's hand. Select 1 card and discard it to the Graveyard.
SUPER RARE
Comments: It has the same activation fee as the actual Toon World but it's a lot more powerful and useful and might've gotten banned, leaving Toon Decks crippled.  
LOB-005
Dark Magician (2nd artwork)
DARK / Spellcaster / Level 3 / ATK 2500 / DEF 2100
The ultimate wizard in terms of attack and defense.
ULTRA RARE
Comments: It'd be the strongest Normal Monster to not need a Tribute and might've even been short printed and/or banned from tournament use.
DB1-EN195
Thousand-Eyes Restrict
DARK / Spellcaster-Type Fusion / Level 6 / ATK 2200 / DEF 800
"Relinquished" + "Thousand-Eyes Idol"
As long as this card remains face-up on the field, other monsters cannot change their battle positions or attack. Select 1 monster on your opponent's side of the field and equip it to this card (this effect can only be used once per turn and you can only equip 1 monster at a time to this card). The ATK and DEF of this card become the same amounts as the monster equipped to this card. If this card is destroyed as a result of battle, the equipped monster is destroyed instead.
ULTRA RARE
Comments: It's adapted Dark Flare Knight's ATK, DEF and Level but kept its own effect. Kind of makes you think it's holding DFK captive.
DB1-EN087
Magical Hats
Counter Trap
Select 2 non-Monster Cards from your Deck and 1 of your Monster Cards on the field, then shuffle your Deck. Shuffle the 3 selected cards and Set them on the field in face-down Defense Position. The 2 cards selected from your Deck are treated as monsters (ATK 0/DEF 0) and are destroyed at the end of the Battle Phase. You can only use this effect during your opponent's Battle Phase.
RARE
Comments: Being a Counter Trap would neither affect how good it is, nor change how it's played because its effect stayed the same.
MRL-002
Axe of Despair
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.
ULTRA RARE
Comments: Nowhere near as potent as the card actually is and certainly not back when it was first released. Here, it's basically only Normal Monster support.
MC1-EN003
Relinquished
EARTH / Spellcaster-Type Ritual / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
This monster can only be Ritual Summoned with the Ritual Spell Card, "Black Luster Ritual". You must also offer monsters whose total Level Stars equal 8 or more as a Tribute from the field or your hand.
SECRET RARE
Comments: Relinquished has become a worthless vanilla Ritual Monster by taking on Black Luster Soldier's text and Attribute. Of course, BLS is much more playable thanks to its ATK and DEF and recent support.
LC01-EN003
The Winged Dragon of Ra
DIVINE / Divine-Beast / Level 10 / ATK ? / DEF 0
This card's ATK is equal to the combined Levels of all monsters you control x 300.
ULTRA RARE
Comments: While it wouldn't need to be collector's item and would be quite powerful, not to mention more playable than its Effect Monster counterpart, it still wouldn't match the anime version.
MRD-127
Solemn Judgment
Continuous Trap
Pay half of your Life Points when your opponent either activates a Magic or Trap Card or summons a monster (including Special Summon) to negate the action and destroy the Magic Card, Trap Card, or summoned monster.
ULTRA RARE
Comments: It'd become less costly to you with each use and eventually you'd probably not pay anything due to having a decimal amount left if it was paid again. Regardless, it'd have still gotten banned, just more quickly I'm sure.
MRL-045
The Forceful Sentry
Normal Spell
This card remains face-up on the field for 2 of your opponent's turns. No monsters can attack. Destroy this card during your opponent's 2nd End Phase after this card was activated.
ULTRA RARE
Comments: It'd never have gotten banned as its text is from a card that wasn't in English for many years until Structure Deck: Spellcaster's Judgment.
LC01-EN001
Obelisk the Tormentor
DIVINE / Fiend / Level 10 / ATK 4000 / DEF 4000
The descent of this mighty creature shall be heralded by burning winds and twisted land. And with the coming of this horror, those who draw breath shall know the true meaning of eternal slumber.
ULTRA RARE
Comments: It could technically be seen as a fiendish being but it's more of a warrior given the arms and legs. Either way, you can tell something is off given how much longer Divine-Beast is when written in text compared to Fiend.
LC01-EN002
Slifer the Sky Dragon
DIVINE / Divine-Beast / Level 10 / ATK X000 / DEF X000
The heavens twist and thunder roars, signaling the coming of this ancient creature, and the dawn of true power.
ULTRA RARE
Comments: Nothing seems wrong unless you realize it's an Effect Monster instead of having the red border around it to match the anime version. The effect version would be years away.
PSV-016
Mirror Wall
Normal Trap
Decrease the ATK of all your opponent's attacking monsters by half. You must pay 2000 Life Points during each of your Standby Phases. If you cannot, this card is destroyed.
SUPER RARE
Comments: It'd be a hybrid of a Continuous Trap and a Normal Trap unless Konami (or in the case of this card, Upper Deck Entertainment) intervened. Still wouldn't be that playable, though more feared than it is today.
LOB-119
Pot of Greed
Normal Spell
Draw 3 cards from your Deck, then discard any 2 cards from your hand.
RARE
Comments: It's taken Graceful Charity's text but would retain most its infamy once Dark World Decks took off.
SOD-EN022
Mobius the Frost Monarch
WATER / Aqua / Level 6 / ATK 2400 / DEF 1000
When this card is Tribute Summoned successfully, destroy 1 monster on the field.
SUPER RARE
Comments: He's stolen Zaborg's effect text but still would be playable, just not as much as he actually is.
