Dyna Base
EARTH / Machine / Level 4 /
ATK 0 / DEF 2100
You can Tribute this
face-up card and 1 Dinosaur-Type monster from your hand to Special
Summon 1 "Dyna Tank" from your Fusion Deck. (This Special Summon is
treated as a Fusion Summon.)

Its 2100 DEF is really the only good thing about
it because otherwise, it's a risky move to remove it from the field just
for a Fusion Monster that may not stick around or be strong enough. |

Once again, it's another poor gamble card that
only Joey Wheeler, or in this case Sartorius, would use. |

Only one player gets these perks and even if
it's you, it's hardly worth it. |

Future Vision
Anime Normal Spell
Activate only while your opponent controls a face-up monster. You pick
up cards from the top of their Deck until you pick up a Monster Card. If
it is the same Type as the monster on your opponents side of the field,
your opponent gains 1000 Life Points and all cards that were picked up
return to their Deck in the same order.

You may know what's coming next but that's
hardly worth not getting anything else out of it while your opponent
could get a free LP boost. |

Recycle Barrier
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only if you would take Battle Damage. You take no Battle Damage
this turn. During your Standby Phase, if this card is in your Graveyard,
you can discard 1 Trap Card to the Graveyard to add this card to your
hand.

Just use one of the better card to avoid Battle
Damage and Mask of Darkness to get Traps back. |

Super Guard
Anime Continuous Spell
During each of your Standby Phases, pay 500 Life Points. While this card
is face-up on the field, monsters you control cannot be destroyed by
battle, and you must skip your Battle Phase.

You're paying LPs to just protect your monsters
from destruction but cannot even attack. It's basically just a pitiful
stall card. |

Neos Energy
Anime Equip Spell
Equip only to a "Neo-Spacian" monster. It gains 800 ATK. During each of
your Standby Phases, it loses 300 ATK.

Even Stim-Pack is more versatile than this
because it can go to any monster, though neither card is worthwhile to
use. |

Gachi Battle
Anime Continuous Trap
During each player's Main Phase 1, that player must Special Summon 1
Level 4 or lower monster from their Deck in face-up Attack Position.
Those monsters are destroyed during the End Phase.

The monsters don't even stick around and X only
used it to thin Jaden's Deck, which is a poor reason to use it. |

A little slow but you do get to choose any
monster you want from your Deck, though it'll be revealed so it
won't be much of a surprise to your opponent.

Purse with a Hole
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only while your opponent has 6 or more cards in their hand.
Send random cards from their hand to the Graveyard until they have 5
cards in their hand. For the rest of this turn, your opponent cannot
play cards from their hand.

Initially, I thought this had a slight chance
but then remembered that now the 1st player doesn't draw so this card's
activation requirements aren't met and probably won't be for a while.
Regardless, your opponent won't be losing that much most of the time
anyway. It only proved devastating against Jaden because he had 10 cards
in his hand thanks to the previous card's effect. |

Stone Leveler**
EARTH / Rock / Level 2 /
ATK 500 / DEF 500
FLIP: Return all monsters on the field to the Decks. Then, each player
must draw cards equal to the combined Levels of their returned monsters,
and reveal those cards. If a player doesn't draw 1 of their returned
monsters, they must discard all cards they drew.

The fact that it has a card name that I give it
since the Dub never did is irrelevent when it's a major gamble for both
players. X did use this card against Jaden but was lucky to actually
have a card to help turn the table when Jaden got to keep the cards this
card gave him. |

Monster Register
Anime Continuous Trap
Pay 1000 Life Points to activate this card. Each time a monster(s) is
Summoned, the controller of the Summoned monster must send cards from
the top of their Deck to the Graveyard equal to the Level(s) of the
Summoned monster(s).

It was only used in combination with the card
below, which makes it a bad strategy out of the gates. Jaden only
struggled because he's overal a pretty bad duelist. |

Trap Sluzer
DARK / Machine / Level 4 /
ATK 800 / DEF 1300
While this card is in
face-up Attack Position, you are unaffected by the effects of
Continuous Trap Cards.

Its only perk is mitigated by the fact that it
has weak stats, must be in Attack Position and only makes you immune to
Continuous Trap Cards. |

Elegant Light LV4

When this card is sent to the Graveyard by a card effect, you can
Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower monster from your Deck.

Since you won't be activating it like other Trap
Cards, you might as well discard it to trigger the effect but it's also
the only way it can be activated and does nothing else afterwards. |

This worked against Jaden's use of Hero Call but
it's not likely going to be that useful to you as it's little more than
a stall card, especially with Decks like Exodia. |

It'll get it right where you need it but then
your opponent will see it too and can counter it when you play it next
turn. |

The fact that you'd run a card like this in an

Even if your Deck is stacked with just monsters
(in which case, you're a bad duelist), this won't help you at all given
that only a handful of monsters are worth Summoning at all, let alone
with a risky gamble like this. |
