ULTRA RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: She's horrible. Paying 1500 LPs to look and take an opponent's card from his or her hand is just really bad and her stats don't do justice either. Stick her in Mai decks only.

Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Cyber Harpie Lady
WIND / Winged Beast / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1300
This card's name is treated as "Harpie Lady".

Rating: 1
Comments: This is one of Espa Roba's horrible cards as it doesn't deserve any play in any deck.
WC5-EN002
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Kaibaman
LIGHT / Warrior / Level 3 / ATK 200 / DEF 700

ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: For a Monster with only 2800 ATK for an effect that requires LV5 to attack directly and still be out during your next Standby Phase, he is pretty horrible.
Collector's Tins 2005
CT2-EN006
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Panther Warrior (original artwork)
EARTH / Beast-Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 2000 / DEF 1600
This card cannot attack unless you Tribute 1 monster on your side of the field.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: His stats may be high but his effect brings him down so only use this in Joey decks.
CT2-EN005
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Rocket Warrior
LIGHT / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1500 / DEF 1300
This effect is only active during the Battle Phase of your turn. Battle Damage to this card and this card's controller that they take from a battle involving this card becomes 0. After damage calculation, decrease the ATK of the monster that was attacked by this card by 500 points until the end of this turn.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: What's not to like? Sure he has stats of (1500/1300) but his effect makes damage to both himself and his controller to 0 and the attacked Monster loses 500 ATK!
CT2-EN004
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Dark Magician Girl (2nd artwork)
DARK / Spellcaster / Level 6 / ATK 2000 / DEF 1700
Increase the ATK of this card by 300 points for each "Dark Magician" or "Magician of Black Chaos" in either player's Graveyard.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: 2000 ATK may not be the highest ATK for 1 tribute but with 3 Dark Magicians in both player's Graveyards gives her 900 ATK for 2900!
CT2-EN003
Card Type: Normal Monster
Card Info Vorse Raider (original artwork)
DARK / Beast-Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1900 / DEF 1200
This wicked Beast-Warrior does every horrid thing imaginable and loves it! His axe bears the marks of his countless victims.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 4
Comments: 1900 ATK for a DARK Monster is very nice for just about any deck including Kaiba's!
CT2-EN002
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Exarion Universe
DARK / Beast-Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1900
You can only activate this during a Battle Step of your turn. Decrease the ATK of this card by 400 points, then during battle between this attacking monster and a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of this card, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points. This effect continues until the End Phase of the turn this card is activated.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: His stats are quite good for being 4 stars but having to lose 400 ATK to have a trample effect isn't worth it. Give him a FMC instead of using his effect. 
CT2-EN001
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Gilford the Lightning (2nd artwork)
LIGHT / Warrior / Level 8 / ATK 2800 / DEF 1400

SECRET RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: Bakura fans will know he uses this card against Yugi and it is a nasty card once you get past the summoning conditions. Even when destroyed, it gets equipped and you choose the Monster!

SECRET RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: 2600 ATK for 2 tributes is pretty bad and its effect doesn't exactly help but can do well with a bit of luck and assistance from Second Coin Toss.
MC1-EN001
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Exodia the Forbidden One
DARK / Spellcaster / Level 3 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1000
When you have "Right Leg of the Forbidden One", "Left Leg of the Forbidden One", "Right Arm of the Forbidden One" and "Left Arm of the Forbidden One" in addition to this card in you hand, you win the Duel.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Without its pieces he's simply another horrible card. The instant win is the only thing this card has when it comes to playability.
