With the ways we have of retrieving Spell Cards
from the Graveyard still around, this may get some play but you have to
pick one with the same name from your Graveyard. |
 |
Goblin Negotiator
Anime Continuous Spell
Once per turn, monsters you control cannot be destroyed by battle and
you take no Battle Damage from that battle. If this effect is used, your
opponent draws 1 card.

It'll protect your monsters but if your opponent
ends up drawing a card to destroy them otherwise, then this is pretty
much wasted effort. |
 |
Infernal Transaction
Anime Normal Spell
Select 1 monster with 2000 or more ATK in your opponent's Graveyard, and
Special Summon it to their side of the field. Then, add 1 Spell Card
from your Graveyard to your hand.

This'd certainly get play today as most monsters
have at least 2000 ATK, namely Alexandrite Dragon, Gene-Warped Warwolf
and Phantom Gryphon. |
 |
Cemetery Change
Anime Normal Spell
Pay 1000 Life Points. Destroy all monsters on the field, then switch
Graveyards with your opponent.

Pretty powerful but also a bit costly and not
just for the fee to activate it because you could lose your monsters and
then your opponent gets to keep them for the entire duel unless they
play a copy too. |
 |
Shield Attack
Anime Equip Spell
Switch the original ATK and DEF of the equipped monster.

This'll only work well with monsters whose DEF
is higher than their ATK but once this card is destroyed, the affected
monsters will be pretty vulnerable. |

White Knight Lord
LIGHT / Warrior / Level 7 /
ATK 2000 / DEF 2000
This card cannot be Tributed for a Tribute Summon or Set. During your
End Phase, if this card did not attack this turn, take 800 damage. This
card cannot be destroyed by battle, and you take no Battle Damage from
battles involving this card. If this card destroys an opponent's monster
by battle, inflict 300 damage to your opponent. When this card is
destroyed by an opponent's card effect, inflict 1000 damage to your
opponent.

While it has some seemingly good perks, they're
offset by this guy's low stats being forced to attack or take minimal
burn damage each turn and equally minimal burn damage when it takes out
a monster in battle. |
 |
Sealed Gate
Anime Normal Trap
When this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, you can remove
from play 1 "White Knight Swordsman", "White Knight Lancer" and "White
Knight Gardna" from your Graveyard to Special Summon 1 "White Knight
Lord" from your Deck.

Even if you're not bringing out White Knight
Lord normally, it's still more effort than it's worth and White Knight
Lord is just as bad. |
 |
White Knight Gardna
LIGHT / Warrior / Level 4 /
ATK 800 / DEF 2000
If you would take Battle Damage from a battle involving a "White Knight"
monster you control, you can remove from play this card from your
Graveyard instead.

The effect includes itself and has 2000 DEF to
allow some survival on the field, not to mention less odds of taking big
damage but still, not much going for it. |
 |
Good Hero
Anime Equip Spell
Special Summon 1 Normal Monster with 1000 or less ATK and DEF from your
Deck, and equip it with this card. It gains 300 ATK for each face-up
"Elemental Hero" monster you control. When this card is destroyed,
destroy the equipped monster.

Jaden was able to use this to get the
requirements for Ojama Delta Hurricane but it's not great overall,
especially since most Elemental HERO monsers are pretty weak. |
 |
White Knight Swordsman
LIGHT / Warrior / Level 4 /
ATK 1200 / DEF 1200
While this card is in your Graveyard, all "White Knight" monsters you
control gain 300 ATK.

Regardless of whether or not the boost is
enough, this guy has to reside in the Graveyard to even give you that
much and it doesn't offer anything else worthwhile. |
 |
Infernal Gauntlet
Anime Equip Spell
During your Battle Phase, you can Tribute 1 monster, except the equipped
monster, to have the equipped monster gain an additional attack in
addition to its normal attack. The equipped monster cannot attack your
opponent directly.

This'll largely depend on how strong the
equipped monster is, though you can get extra monsters with Scapegoat
(and now Scapeghost) to help create those extra attacks. |

White Knight Lancer
LIGHT / Warrior / Level 4 /
ATK 1500 / DEF 0
During battle between this attacking card and a Defense Position monster
whose DEF is lower than the ATK of this card, inflict the difference as
Battle Damage to your opponent.

Enraged Battle Ox and Spear Dragon have higher
ATK and the same effect, though have some restraints or downsides for
such a benefit. This guy doesn't and is searchable but has just as
little DEF as Spear Dragon. |

It won Jaden the duel but it was a bit of luck
since you still need to meet the requirements to Tribute Summon if
necessary. |
 |
Thousand Strings
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when an opponent's monster declares an attack. Negate the
attack. The ATK of all face-up monsters on the field becomes 0.

It's pretty powerful but it affects your
monsters too and as Orlando found out in his duel with Jaden, it was a
costly mistake, though he was going to lose either way. |
 |
Feather Storm
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only if you control a face-up "Elemental Hero Avian". Switch
the original ATK and DEF of all face-up monsters your opponent controls,
until the End Phase.
COMMON |

Elemental HERO Avian is pretty easy to get out
but also pretty vulnerable once it's out. Do that though and this isn't
too bad, though it may not make a difference given how weak Avian's ATK
and DEF are. |

Gengis Ghan the Emperor Dragon
DARK / Dragon / Level 8 /
ATK 2800 / DEF 2300
When this card is destroyed by a card effect, select 1 monster in your
opponent's Graveyard, and inflict damage to your opponent equal to its
ATK.

A one-time effect that can be pretty powerful
but that's if your opponent has a monster in their Graveyard that is
worth targeting with the effect. |

Kabuki Stage - The
Rough Seas
Anime Field Spell
During each player's Main Phase 1, the turn player can add 1 Level 5 or
higher Monster Card from their Deck to their hand.

This one has some uses but both players get this
benefit so you could be giving your opponent access to a monster
stronger than what you added to your hand. |

Battle Claw Fox
DARK / Warrior / Level 4
/ ATK 800 / DEF 1200
If this card battles an opponent's monster, destroy that monster during
the End Phase.

By the time her effect resolves, it'll be too
late as she'll very likely be in the Graveyard. |

New Year Drum

When the equipped monster is selected as an attack target, Special
Summon 1 "Battle Claw Fox" from your Deck and switch the attack target
to that monster.

The new monster isn't very likely to be any
better given that most monsters are stronger than it. |

Shizuka the Heavenly Dancer

ATK 300 / DEF 600
When this card is selected as an attack target by an
opponent's monster, gain 600 Life Points.

With stats that low, the extra LP boost isn't
going to help you unless you can protect her. |
