Negate Attack and Waboku do this card's job way
better so this'll need quite the buff if it is to have any playability
at all. |

Hyper Refresh
Anime Quick-Play Spell
Activate only if the combined ATK of your opponent's face-up monsters is
higher than your Life Points, while you control no monsters. Double your
Life Points.

Unfortunately, this card is less good than I'd
first thought as my indication said it didn't require you to have no
monsters out even though that's the condition Joey had when he activated
it. This really isn't much better than Draining Shield, even as a
Quick-Play Spell. |

Erda's Guidance
Anime Normal Spell
Discard 1 Spell Card. Select 1 Trap Card from your Graveyard and Set it.

Even if you have a Spell Card you can't use at
the moment, save it for later instead of disposing it to get a Trap Card
from your Graveyard that won't surprise your opponent. |

Wotan's Judgment
Anime Counter Trap
Activate only when a monster is selected as an attack target. Switch the
top card of your Deck with a Spell Card in your hand, then shuffle your
Deck to negate the attack and end the Battle Phase.

Far too situational as is to be any good when
Negate Attack does all this card's benefits without changing the
contents of your hand or Deck. |

Landstar Shot
Anime Equip Spell
Equip only to a "Landstar" monster. It gains 600 ATK. When the equipped
monster is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, destroy 1 Spell or Trap
Card on he field and have 1 "Landstar" monster you control gain 400 ATK.

The ATK boost in both effects will have to do
better because the strongest Landstar in the anime has only 900 ATK and
this would give it no more than 1500 ATK unless multiple copies were
used. Worse still, you're required to destroy a Spell or Trap Card on
the field when its host is destroyed and sent to the Grave, which could
mean your own. |

Valkyrie Erste
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 6 /
ATK 1600 / DEF 1800
Once per turn, you can remove from play 1 monster from your opponent's
Graveyard. This turn, this card's original ATK becomes equal to the
original ATK of removed monster.

Though its ATK is no higher than Zwei, it can
become a temporary powerhouse, not to mention remove threats that cannot
be destroyed by battle or by card effects or one or the other but it
relies entirely on your opponent having monsters in their Graveyard. |

Valkyrie Zwei
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 5 /
ATK 1600 / DEF 1600
When this card is Summoned, select 1 monster your opponent controls and
destroy it.

We're not as lucky as Zigfried von Shroeder was
in the anime so this'll be pretty well useless in your hand. |

Ride of the Valkyries
Anime Normal Spell
Special Summon as many "Valkyrie" monsters from your hand as possible.
At the end of this turn, return all monsters Special Summoned this way
to your Deck.

It'd probably even be able to Special Summon
monsters like Dark Valkyria and Element Valkyrie but as is, it's not as
devastating as the anime would have you believe because Zigfried was
just lucky thanks to the writers and none of the Valkyrie monsters he
owns are all that good on their own. |

Mystic Eruption
Anime Quick-Play Spell
If a Spell or Trap Card was destroyed this turn, inflict 1000 damage to
the owner(s) of the destroyed card(s).

This'd see some play given we still have
Mystical Space Typhoon legal for play but the other two big ones, Heavy
Storm and Harpie's Feather Duster, aren't so lucky so your odds of using
this aren't very high. |

Dragon Lady
LIGHT / Warrior / Level 7 /
ATK 2500 / DEF 2100
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be
Special Summoned with "Luminous Cloud". Once per turn, you can select 1
Spell/Trap Card on the field, and destroy it. This card
cannot declare an attack the turn you activate this effect.

This is what you get for Tributing those
specific monsters with Luminous Cloud, a pathetic excuse of a monster.
I'd rather use Dark Magician. |

Luminous Cloud
Anime Normal Spell
Tribute 1 "Master Kyonshee" and 1 "Kung-Fu Nyan Nyan". Special Summon 1
"Dragon Lady" from your hand or Deck.

Pretty pathetic to tribute two monsters that
were better off on your field for a monster with stats no stronger than
Dark Magician's and an effect no better than Mystical Space Typhoon. |

Kung-Fu Nyan Nyan
EARTH / Warrior / Level 4 /
ATK 1700 / DEF 1000
During your Standby Phase, if this face-up Attack Position card did not
attack during your last turn, it gains 300 ATK . If this card attacks
after gaining ATK this way, it loses 300 ATK during the End Phase.

I don't think any true master of Kung-Fu would
wait to gain power when the enemy is upon them so this monster is a
disgrace to the true masters of the sport. |

Grappler of Landstar

He's armed and dangerous! Few monsters dare to cross his path at
night.

Armed and dangerous? Yeah right because that'd
have amounted to much higher stats than what he has. |

Knight of Landstar
EARTH / Warrior / Level 3 /

A brave knight eager to battle. His strength is weak but is made up
for his determination.

Anime fans will want this card even though it's
stats are dismal in today's metagame but that still doesn't make for a
playable Normal Monster like this. |

hand as possible in face-up Attack Position.

We don't have that many Landstar monsters in the
card game at the moment but if we get the other Landstars used in the
anime, which are all searchable with Reinforcement of the Army, then
this has a shot at being playable, especially since you can do what you
want with those monsters. Better Landstar monsters may get released,
which is mostly why I'm giving this card 2 out of 5. |

Ancient Dragon
DARK / Dragon / Level 8 /
ATK 2800 / DEF 2100
If this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, destroy all
Defense Position monsters your opponent controls.

A bit easier to play than Red Dragon Archfiend,
which obviously didn't exist when this card appeared, though this card
is slightly weaker than RDA. At least it doesn't have to be Summoned
using that beyond terrible method Yugi's grandpa used to bring it out. |

Ancient Tome
Anime Continuous Spell
Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can switch 1 card from your
hand with the top card of your Deck. During each of your Standby Phases,
send 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard. If you do not, destroy this
card.

This is a pretty poor version of Card Trader,
which although Card Trader still swaps cards and has no guarantee of a a
better card, neither does this and unlike this card, at least Card
Trader shuffles it into the Deck and lets you draw the top card without
having a maitenance cost or other type of fee. |

2000 DEF may give it 2 stars under normal
conditions but once you read the effect, you'll understand why this guy
doesn't qualify for the extra star. |

Ancient Key
Anime Continuous Spell
When you activate this card, you can Special Summon up to 2 "Stone
Giants" from your hand or Deck in Attack Position. During your Main
Phase, you can send this face-up card and 2 "Stone Giants" (whose battle
positions have been changed twice each) you control to the Graveyard to
add 1 "Ancient Gate" from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand.

As you'll soon see, Stone Giants aren't any
