| Zexal Collection Tin | |
| ZTIN-EN012 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Galaxy Knight LIGHT / Warrior / Level 8 / ATK 2800 / DEF 2600 If you control a "Photon" or "Galaxy" monster, you can Normal Summon this card without Tributing. When you do: Target 1 "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" in your Graveyard (if possible); regardless, this card loses 1000 ATK, and if it does, Special Summon that target (if any) in face-up Defense Position. This ATK decrease lasts until the End Phase. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Since Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon virtually never, or never, sees play and since his friends are pretty bad thus far, all this guy has is a Normal Summon without tribute effect and that's pretty bad overall. |
| ZTIN-EN011 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Galaxy Wizard LIGHT / Spellcaster / Level 4 / ATK 0 / DEF 1800 Once per turn: You can increase this card's Level by 4 until the End Phase. You can Tribute this card; add 1 "Galaxy" card from your Deck to your hand, except "Galaxy Wizard". ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | He can quickly make himself Level 8 or fetch another one of his friends but nothing else about him or his friends impress me yet. |
| ZTIN-EN010 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Dimension Wanderer LIGHT / Spellcaster / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 0 When a monster is banished by the effect of "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon": You can send this card from your hand to the Graveyard; inflict 3000 damage to your opponent. You can only use the effect of "Dimension Wanderer" once per turn. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | This guy needs to stop wandering because that often gets you not where you want to be and since GEPD is hardly ever used if at all, this guy will see even less use. |
| ZTIN-EN009 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Kuriphoton LIGHT / Fiend / Level 1 / ATK 300 / DEF 200 During either player's turn: You can send this card from your hand to the Graveyard and pay 2000 Life Points; you take no damage this turn. If this card is in your Graveyard: You can send 1 "Photon" monster from your hand to the Graveyard, except "Kuriphoton"; add this card from your Graveyard to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Kuriphoton" once per turn. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | It saves your Life Points from damage but you're still down 2000 Life Points for using its effect so you're better off with Prime Material Dragon instead. |
| ZTIN-EN008 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Photon Slasher LIGHT / Warrior / Level 6 / ATK 2100 / DEF 1000 If a face-up Xyz Monster is on the field, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand) in face-up Defense Position. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | With Xyz Monsters so popular, you're bound to bring this guy out but with only 1000 DEF, it's unlikely he'll be on the field for long. |
| ZTIN-EN007 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Photon Satellite LIGHT / Machine / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 0 Once per turn: You can target 1 other "Photon" monster you control; the Levels of both that monster and this card become the combined current Levels of those 2 monsters. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | You might be able to make two Level 8 monsters but unless you draw any Photon monsters to use this on, he'll be of no use. |
| ZTIN-EN006 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Photon Pirate LIGHT / Machine / Level 3 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1000 You can banish 1 "Photon" monster from your Graveyard; this card gains 1000 ATK until the End Phase. You can use the effect of "Photon Pirate" up to twice per turn. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | He can start off your turn with 3000 ATK but come turn's end, there's two less Photon monsters in your Grave and he's back to his weak old self. |
| ZTIN-EN005 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Gagagashield Normal Trap Target 1 face-up Spellcaster-Type monster you control; equip this card to that target. Twice per turn, it cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It can go to any Spellcaster and protects it from any destruction twice but anything that targets without destroying can still send the monster packing. |
| ZTIN-EN004 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Gagagaback Quick-Play Spell During the turn a "Gagaga" monster you control was destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard: Special Summon as many monsters from your Graveyard as possible that were destroyed by battle this turn, in face-up Defense Position, then take 600 damage for each monster Special Summoned by this effect. You can only activate 1 "Gagagaback" per turn. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Only your Gagaga monster needs to lose a battle and when it does, you can get back more than what you lost but you also lose 600 Life Points per monster brought back. |
| ZTIN-EN003 | |
| Card Type: | Xyz Monster |
| Card Info | Number 19: Freezadon WATER / Dinosaur-Type Xyz / Rank 5 / ATK 2000 / DEF 2500 2 Level 5 monsters Once per turn, if an Xyz Monster you control would activate an effect by detaching an Xyz Material(s), you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card instead of 1 of those Xyz Materials. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | I would've wanted to see some other bonus effect other than being able to give away its Xyz Materials because being Rank 5, his stats aren't all that good but if nothing else, you have extra Xyz Materials. |
| ZTIN-EN002 | |
| Card Type: | Xyz Monster |
| Card Info | Number 61: Volcasaurus FIRE / Dinosaur-Type Xyz / Rank 5 / ATK 2500 / DEF 1000 2 Level 5 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; destroy that opponent's monster, and if you do, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the destroyed monster's original ATK. This card cannot attack your opponent directly during the turn you activate this effect. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | So he's got a built-in, one-sided Ring of Destruction but can only target face up monsters and even if he hits your opponent's last monster, he can't attack directly that turn. |
| ZTIN-EN001 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Dododo Warrior EARTH / Warrior / Level 6 / ATK 2300 / DEF 900 You can Normal Summon this card without Tributing, but its original ATK becomes 1800. If this card attacks, negate all card effects that activate in the opponent's Graveyard, until the end of the Damage Step. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | The only drawback in Normal Summoning it without tributes is its ATK become 1800 but that's still good enough to make this guy playable and his effect isn't too bad a bonus! |
| Zexal Manga Volume 2 | |
| YZ02-EN001 | |
| Card Type: | Xyz Monster |
| Card Info | Number 50: Blackship Corn DARK / Plant-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK 2100 / DEF 1500 2 Level 4 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls with ATK less than or equal to this card's; send it to the Graveyard, and if you do, inflict 1000 damage to your opponent. This card cannot attack the turn you activate this effect. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It can get rid of pesky Marshmallons, Spirit Reapers and Fortress Warriors but it's out of luck if the monster is stronger. |
| Shonen Jump | |
| JUMP-EN064 | |
| Card Type: | Xyz Monster |
| Card Info | Number 88: Gimmick Puppet of Leo DARK / Machine-Type Xyz / Rank 8 / ATK 3200 / DEF 2300 3 Level 8 monsters Once per turn, if you have no cards in your Spell & Trap Card Zone: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, and if you do, place 1 Destiny Counter on this card. You cannot conduct your Battle Phase the turn you activate this effect. When 3 Destiny Counters are on this card, you win the Duel. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Gimmick is right, this card has so many strings attached that there's nothing good about it! Exodia looks much more likely to claim an automatic victory than this card. |
| JUMP-EN063 | |
| Card Type: | Xyz Monster |
| Card Info | Number 40: Gimmick Puppet
of Strings DARK / Machine-Type Xyz / Rank 8 / ATK 3000 / DEF 2000 2 Level 8 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; place 1 String Counter on each face-up monster on the field, except this card. If you do, during your opponent's next End Phase: Destroy the monsters with String Counters, and if you do, inflict 500 damage to your opponent for each monster destroyed. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | He delivers String Counters to all other monsters in play and gets rid of those monsters, dealing 500 damage to your opponent for each but it doesn't activate until the end of your opponent's next turn. |
| JUMP-EN062 | |
| Card Type: | Xyz Monster |
| Card Info | Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max EARTH / Machine-Type Xyz / Rank 10 / ATK 3000 / DEF 3000 2 Level 10 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; inflict 2000 damage to your opponent. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It requires you to literally go to high levels to bring him out and when you do, that's 2000 damage to your opponent for each successful effect activation. |
| Legendary Collection 3: Yugi's World | |
| LC03-EN001 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | The Seal of Orichalcos Field Spell All monsters you control gain 500 ATK. Once per turn, this card cannot be destroyed by card effects. While you control 2 or more face-up Attack Position monsters, your opponent cannot target your monster(s) with the lowest ATK for an attack. When this card is activated: Destroy all Special Summoned monsters you control. You cannot Special Summon monsters from your Extra Deck. You can only activate "The Seal of Orichalcos" once per Duel. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | So here it is, a long-awaited anime card now real but nerfing it was pretty well inevitable yet its drawbacks can work to your advantage. |
| Shonen Jump | |
| JUMP-EN061 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Slifer the Sky Dragon DIVINE / Divine-Beast / Level 10 / ATK ? / DEF ? Requires 3 Tributes to Normal Summon (cannot be Normal Set). This card's Normal Summon cannot be negated. When Normal Summoned, cards and effects cannot be activated. During the End Phase, if this card was Special Summoned: Send it to the Graveyard. This card gains 1000 ATK and DEF for each card in your hand. When a monster(s) is Normal or Special Summoned to your opponent's side of the field in face-up Attack Position: That monster(s) loses 2000 ATK, then if its ATK has been reduced to 0 as a result, destroy it. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 4 |
| Comments: | Much like Effect Monster Obelisk, this one retained much of its anime effects and turned out to be very good. His downsides are minimal compared to his playability. |
| Championship Series 2012 | |
| YCSW-EN005 | |
| Card Type: | Xyz Monster |
| Card Info | Digvorzhak, King of Heavy Industry EARTH / Machine-Type Xyz / Rank 5 / ATK 3200 / DEF 2000 3 Level 5 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; send the top 3 cards of your opponent's Deck to the Graveyard, then, if any monsters were sent to the Graveyard by this effect, destroy cards your opponent controls, up to the number of monsters sent. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | This so-called King is already dethroned by the better card known as Needle Worm, which when flipped forces the opponent to lose the next 5 cards of their Deck free of charge and is far easier to play. |
| Gx Manga Volume 9 | |
| YG09-EN001 | |
| Card Type: | Fusion Monster |
| Card Info | Elemental HERO Escuridao DARK / Warrior-Type Fusion / Level 8 / ATK 2500 / DEF 2000 1 "Elemental HERO" monster + 1 DARK monster Must be Fusion Summoned and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. This card gains 100 ATK for each "Elemental HERO" monster in your Graveyard. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Even though it's easy to Fusion Summon, why waste your time and effort when it can't be revived later and gets a mere 100 ATK per Elemental HERO in your Graveyard without any other effects? |
