Yu-Gi-Oh Anime Cards (Page 13)

*Card effects below are as accurate as possible.
Episode 193: A Brawl in a Small Town (2)
Ruby Dragon
WIND / Dragon / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1300
With the entire body covered with ruby, this dragon's appearance is very beautiful. It doesn't like fighting and has very high defense power. 
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: If a DEF of 1300 counts as "very high defense power", then the bar must be raised because that's pretty bad in today's game.  
Tom Thumb
EARTH / Warrior / Level 1 / ATK 300 / DEF 500
A giant in training. His skills are not yet fully developed.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: I made up the text that went there as the real text wasn't known but regardless of what text you put there, he's a worthless Normal Monster.
Episode 192: A Brawl in a Small Town (1)
Glass Slippers
Anime Equip Spell
When a "Cinderella" equipped with this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent by a direct attack, you can equip this card to a monster your opponent controls. While this card is equipped to a monster your opponent controls, the equipped monster loses 1000 ATK and cannot select "Cinderella" as an attack target. When that monster is destroyed, you can equip this card to a "Cinderella" you control.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: As if glass slippers wasn't a bad enough idea, this card really wouldn't do you much good because Darkworld Shackles already surpasses as you wouldn't want to attack Cinderella anyway since she'll have triple the affected monster's ATK and deals a little burn damage to boot. All Cinderella gets from this is a 1000 ATK boost and that's if equipped from its previous host being destroyed. You can do better with Axe of Despair.
Pumpkin Carriage
EARTH / Plant / Level 3 / ATK 0 / DEF 800
While this card is face-up on the field, "Cinderella" can attack your opponent directly.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Even worse than Cinderella is the carriage she brings out. This is one carriage that would send Cinderella to the hospital instead of the Ball.
Cinderella
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 4 / ATK 300 / DEF 600
When this card is Summoned, you can Special Summon 1 "Pumpkin Carriage" from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard. Then, you can activate 1 "Glass Slippers" from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard. When a "Glass Slippers" equipped to another monster is equipped to this card, this card gains 1000 ATK.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Just because Leon had some use for this doesn't make it good. He was just lucky and neither this card, nor either of the cards it brings out are any good.
Gingerbread House
Anime Continuous Spell
During each of your opponent's Standby Phases, select 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. It gains 600 ATK. If a monster's ATK becomes 2500 or higher by this effect, destroy that monster and gain 500 Life Points.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: You get to use the effect during each of your opponent's turns and may get rid of a threatening monster but reaching 2500 ATK or more isn't necessarily guaranteed.
Glife the Phantom Bird
WIND / Winged Beast / Level 4 / ATK 1500 / DEF 1200
When this card is Summoned, you can select 1 Spell or Trap Card your opponent controls, and destroy it.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It's searchable so the likes of  Flying Kamakiri #1 will trigger its effect but it's not very strong overall and that's all it has to offer effect-wise.  
Curse of Thorns
Anime Continuous Spell
Select 1 Effect Monster in your opponent's Graveyard, and negate its effect(s). When that monster is removed from the Graveyard, destroy this card.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: I don't recall having a permanent disabler for Effect Monsters in the Graveyard but most Effect Monsters activate once when their conditions are met. For the few that do activate continuously like Marie the Fallen One, this may not be too bad, though still not great.
Forest Wolf
EARTH / Beast / Level 3 / ATK 1800 / DEF 300
If this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, equip that monster to this card. When this card is destroyed, Special Summon all monsters equipped to this card by this effect to their owners' sides of the field.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: It's already good to start but add in Equip Spells or other ATK boosts and it'll definitely get strong in no time. Too bad the owners get their monsters back if it's destroyed and you probably won't be the lucky one to get a monster back unless this guy is your opponent's monster. Of course, that means losing your monsters to it first.
Episode 191: Down in Flames (2) (Continued)
Rainbow Bridge Bifrost
Anime Normal Spell
Select 1 face-up "Valkyrie" monster you control. It gains 500 ATK for each removed from play monster, until the End Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Much like the other Valkyrie support cards, this may work with ones we have that aren't entirely Valkyrie monsters like Magician's Valkyria so until this card is released without that allowance, it'll get 2 out of 5 stars.
Enchanted Sword Nothung
Anime Equip Spell
The equipped monster gains 400 ATK. When you equip this card, destroy and remove from play all face-up Dragon-Type monsters your opponent controls. If the equipped monster battles a Dragon-Type monster, destroy that monster at the start of the Damage Step, without applying damage calculation.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: The ATK boost is pretty minimal but if your opponent is running Dragons, this isn't a bad card to counter them.
Valkyrie Brunhilde
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 7 / ATK 1800 / DEF 2000
While this card is in face-up Attack Position, it gains 300 ATK for each Dragon-Type and Warrior-Type monster on the field. If this card would be destroyed by battle, you can have it lose 1000 DEF instead.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Konami continues to release Dragons and Warriors so this'd see some play but it's also a Level 7 monster and those stats don't really justify Tribute Summoning it, nor does lowering its DEF by 1000 to prevent its destruction in battle.
Apple of Enlightenment
Anime Normal Trap
When this card is removed from the field, draw 1 card.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Used in multiples, it's good bait to draw up to 3 cards for your opponent's effort but that also means less room for cards where you need to defend your LP and/or save your monsters.
Swan Maiden
Anime Normal Spell
Special Summon 1 "Valkyrie" monster from your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: You can do what you want with that Valkyrie monster, which is pretty much the only reason this card's rating is getting more than 1 star.
Loge's Flame
Anime Continuous Trap
Your opponent cannot attack with monsters that have 2000 or less ATK. When a monster is attacked, destroy this card. When this card is removed from the field, you can Special Summon 1 "Valkerie Brunhilde" from your hand or Deck.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: The only real threats within this card's range have 1800 ATK, 1900 ATK and of course 2000 ATK. Although there are quite a few monsters that have those values, today's meta could easily get around this, especially since it self-destructs when a monster is attacked.
Goddess Verdandi's Guidance
Anime Continuous Spell
Once per turn, you can declare the card type (Monster, Spell or Trap) of the top card of your opponent's Deck. If you guess correctly, apply an appropriate effect:
● Monster Card: Your opponent Special Summons it in face-down Defense Position.
● Spell or Trap Card: Your opponent Sets it.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Though this has probably the highest chance of seeing play as is, unless it's used with the other two cards, those are just free cards for your opponent.
Goddess Urd's Verdict
Anime Continuous Spell
Once per turn, you can select 1 face-down card your opponent controls and declare a card name. If that card is the declared card, remove that card from play.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Same as Goddess Skuld's Oracle's comments.
Goddess Skuld's Oracle
Anime Continuous Spell
Once per turn, you can look at the top 3 cards of your opponent's Deck and return them to the top of the Deck in any order.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Using this card with the other two Goddess cards Zigfried used isn't enough to warrant me giving this card a higher rating because they're pretty well useless on their own.
Nibelung's Ring
Anime Equip Spell
During your Draw Phase, draw 2 cards instead of conducting your normal draw. If a Monster Card(s) is drawn this way, you must discard 1 of them. The equipped monster cannot attack or be Tributed, and its effect(s) is negated.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: The card Zigfried always activated with Nibelung's Treasure, which indicates to me that it's otherwise a waste of Deck space.
Nibelung's Treasure
Anime Normal Spell
Select 1 Spell Card from your Deck and activate it to your opponent's side of the field (if the conditions are correct). Then, draw 5 cards.
COMMON
Rating: 4
Comments: You could give your opponent your most powerful Equip Spell like Darkworld Shackles and thus weaken their monster and add to your hand size so this will certainly see nerfing should it ever get released.
