| Zexal Manga Volume 5 | |
| YZ05-EN001 | |
| Card Type: | Xyz Monster |
| Card Info | Number 72: Shogi Rook EARTH / Beast-Warrior-Type Xyz / Rank 6 / ATK 2500 / DEF 1200 2 Level 6 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 2 Xyz Materials from this card, then target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls and 1 Set Spell/Trap Card your opponent controls; destroy them, but any battle damage your opponent takes is halved for the rest of this turn. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | It's a waste of cards to bring this guy out when he'll most likely be using up all his materials but that's if the conditions can be met and/or resolved successfully. |
| Shonen Jump | |
| JUMP-EN067 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Archfiend Commander DARK / Fiend / Level 6 / ATK 2500 / DEF 1200 If you control an "Archfiend" card, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand), but it cannot attack this turn. You can only Special Summon "Archfiend Commander" once per turn this way. When Special Summoned this way: Target 1 "Archfiend" card you control; destroy that target. When this card is Tribute Summoned: You can target 1 Level 6 "Archfiend" monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target in face-up Defense Position. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | An archfiend deck can certainly make use of this but most of them have Life Point costs to stay on the field and that's on top of what may be their other bad effects or low stats. |
| Zexal Manga Volume 4 | |
| YZ04-EN001 | |
| Card Type: | Xyz Monster |
| Card Info | Number 47: Nightmare Shark WATER / Sea Serpent-Type Xyz / Rank 3 / ATK 2000 / DEF 2000 2 Level 3 monsters When this card is Special Summoned: You can attach 1 Level 3 WATER monster from your hand or your side of the field to this card as an Xyz Material. Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 WATER monster you control; this turn, that monster can attack your opponent directly, also other monsters cannot attack. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | No matter how he hits the field, it'll have at least 1 Xyz Material to work with but it's limited to WATER monsters with its effect and stops other monsters from attacking that turn. |
| 5Ds Manga Volume 5 | |
| YF05-EN001 | |
| Card Type: | Synchro Monster |
| Card Info | Stardust Spark Dragon LIGHT / Dragon-Type Synchro / Level 8 / ATK 2500 / DEF 2000 1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters Once per turn, during either player's turn (except during the Damage Step): You can target 1 face-up card you control; once during this turn, it cannot be destroyed by battle or by card effects. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | A card that offers one-turn protection each turn, even on itself and being easy to summon with Stardust Dragon's stats, it's a pretty decent card overall! |
| Championship Series 2013 | |
| YCSW-EN006 | |
| Card Type: | Xyz Monster |
| Card Info | Number 106: Giant Hand EARTH / Rock-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK 2000 / DEF 2000 2 Level 4 monsters During either player's turn, when a monster effect is activated on your opponent's side of the field (except during the Damage Step): You can detach 2 Xyz Materials from this card, then target 1 Effect Monster your opponent controls; while this card is face-up on the field, that Effect Monster's effects are negated, also it cannot change its battle position. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | He gives up what'll amount to all his materials most of the time to stop an Effect Monster's effect but keeps that monster on the field and that'll amount to a bad prize card. |
| Legendary Collection 4: Joey's World | |
| LC04-EN003 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Card of Last Will Normal Trap If the ATK of a monster(s) you control becomes 0 by a card effect: Draw until you have 5 cards in your hand. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Despite not being legal for tournament play, Konami decided to nerf it anyway to make it even less powerful than it was in the anime. In casual play, this card still isn't that bad. |
| LC04-EN002 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Harpie Lady Phoenix Formation Normal Spell If you control 3 or more "Harpie Lady" and/or "Harpie Lady Sisters": Target as many monsters your opponent controls as possible, but not more than the total number of "Harpie Lady" and "Harpie Lady Sisters" you control; destroy those targets, and if you do, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the highest original ATK among those destroyed monsters (your choice, if tied). You cannot Special Summon monsters from the Main Deck or Extra Deck, nor conduct your Battle Phase, the turn you activate this card. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It can dish out some heavy damage and your opponent could be left defenseless but the inevitable nerf means you get no Battle Phase nor can you Special Summon from your Deck or Extra Deck that turn. |
| LC04-EN001 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Blue Flame Swordsman FIRE / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1600 Once per turn, during either player's Battle Phase: You can target 1 other Warrior-Type monster you control; this card loses exactly 600 ATK, and if it does, that monster gains 600 ATK. When this card you control is destroyed by your opponent's card (either by battle or by card effect) and sent to your Graveyard: You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 1 FIRE Warrior-Type monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | Slightly improved from its anime counterpart as it can bring back any FIRE Warrior from your Graveyard, including another copy of itself and has kept the anime version's ATK, DEF and Level to make it worth using even on its own! |
| Shonen Jump | |
| JUMP-EN066 | |
| Card Type: | Synchro Monster |
| Card Info | Vulcan the Divine FIRE / Beast-Warrior-Type Synchro / Level 6 / ATK 2000 / DEF 1600 1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters When this card is Synchro Summoned: Target 1 face-up card you control and 1 face-up card your opponent controls; return those targets to the hand. This turn, you cannot activate cards, or the effects of cards, with the same name as those returned to the hand by this effect. You can only use the effect of "Vulcan the Divine" once per turn. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Not only do the threats it removes still exist but they have to be face-up and you're prevented from activating copies of the return cards and let's not forget this only occurs when this guy is Synchro Summoned! |
| JUMP-EN065 | |
| Card Type: | Xyz Monster |
| Card Info | Zubaba General LIGHT / Warrior-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK 2000 / DEF 1000 2 Level 4 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; equip 1 Warrior-Type monster from your hand to this card. This card gains ATK equal to the combined ATK of the monsters equipped to it by this effect. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 4 |
| Comments: | An easy-to-summon Xyz Monster that can attack itself with ANY Warrior from your hand AND gain ATK equal to the ATK of all monsters its equipped with is very nice, especially since it starts off with 2000 ATK! |
| Zexal Manga Volume 3 | |
| YZ03-EN001 | |
| Card Type: | Xyz Monster |
| Card Info | Number 22: Zombiestein DARK / Zombie-Type Xyz / Rank 8 / ATK 4500 / DEF 1000 2 Level 8 DARK monsters Must be Xyz Summoned and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card and send 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard to target 1 face-up card your opponent controls; change this card to Defense Position, and if you do, negate that face-up card's effect until the End Phase. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | His ATK is impressive but is greatly hindered in that he can't be Special Summoned other ways and changes to Defense Position after ripping off Effect Veiler's better effect! |
| Zexal Collection Tin (Continued) | |
| ZTIN-EN021 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Chachaka Archer WIND / Warrior / Level 6 / ATK 1200 / DEF 1800 Once per turn: You can target 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field; destroy it. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Certainly searchable but why would you want to with so little he has to offer but his ways of being searched have decreased with Sangan banned. |
| ZTIN-EN020 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Zubaba Buster EARTH / Warrior / Level 3 / ATK 1800 / DEF 600 At the end of the Damage Step, if this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent: Destroy the face-up monster with the lowest ATK (if it's a tie, you get to choose), and if you do, this card loses 800 ATK. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Although he starts off at a decent 1800 ATK, he gets weaker each time his unrestricted Fissure effect is triggered, which isn't optional. |
| ZTIN-EN019 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Triple Star Trion LIGHT / Warrior / Level 1 / ATK 100 / DEF 100 During the End Phase, if this card is in the Graveyard because it was sent there this turn as a Tribute for a successful Tribute Summon: You can Special Summon this card from the Graveyard. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | He'll come back each time he's used for any Tribute Summon but not until the End Phase, leaving his protection up to your cards on the field. |
| ZTIN-EN018 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Galaxy Zero Equip Spell Target 1 "Photon" or "Galaxy" monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it in face-up Attack Position and equip it with this card. It cannot attack or activate its effects. If it would be destroyed during the Battle Phase, you can destroy this card instead. When this card leaves the field: The equipped monster's ATK becomes 0. You can only activate 1 "Galaxy Zero" per turn. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | With Monster Reborn and Call of the Haunted still legal, there's no reason this should be used over either of them because their target doesn't lose anything. |
| ZTIN-EN017 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Galaxy Expedition Normal Spell If you control a Level 5 or higher "Photon" or "Galaxy" monster: Special Summon 1 Level 5 or higher "Photon" or "Galaxy" monster from your Deck in face-up Defense Position. You can only activate 1 "Galaxy Expedition" per turn. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It doesn't much care what Photon or Galaxy monster you have or bring out, making for a quick Xyz Summon but your options are limited to the playable ones. |
| ZTIN-EN016 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Accellight Normal Spell If you control no monsters: Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Photon" or "Galaxy" monster from your Deck. You can only activate 1 "Accellight" per turn. You cannot Normal Summon/Set during the turn you activate this card. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | The only benefit is that the monster is Special Summoned from your Deck but that's negated by its list of drawbacks. Use Photon Lead instead because it's easier to use and contains no major drawback. |
| ZTIN-EN015 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Message in a Bottle Normal Spell Target 3 monsters with different Levels in your Graveyard; Special Summon all 3 of them. Their ATK's become 0, also their effects are negated. If you do not Xyz Summon this turn after Summoning those 3 monsters, you lose 4000 Life Points during the End Phase. You cannot Special Summon any other monsters, except by Xyz Summon, during the turn you activate this card. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | It's like the real thing: It's a huge gamble and likely won't get you anywhere. Perhaps it can join the real thing in the ocean? |
| ZTIN-EN014 | |
| Card Type: | Xyz Monster |
| Card Info | Starliege Paladynamo LIGHT / Warrior-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK 2000 / DEF 1000 2 Level 4 LIGHT monsters Once per turn: You can detach 2 Xyz Materials from this card to target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; its ATK becomes 0, and if it does, its effects are negated. When this card you control is destroyed by your opponent's card (either by battle or by card effect) and sent to your Graveyard: Draw 1 card. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Its Xyz Materials make it possible to run this in any LIGHT deck but using its effect will almost always cost it all its Xyz Materials but at least it has a bonus effect and its first effect is permanent. |
| ZTIN-EN013 | |
| Card Type: | Xyz Monster |
| Card Info | Number 56: Gold Rat LIGHT / Beast-Type Xyz / Rank 1 / ATK 500 / DEF 600 3 Level 1 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; draw 1 card, then shuffle 1 card from your hand into the Deck. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | His stats are VERY weak for needing 3 Level 1s but you might get lucky with his effect, though the odds are stacked against you. |
