Chariot Pile
Anime Continuous Trap
Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can
inflict 800 damage to your opponent. Your opponent can negate this
effect by Tributing 1 monster they control. Once per turn, if your
opponent declares a direct attack, you can pay 800 Life Points, negate
the attack and destroy the attacking monster.

Personally, I'd take the 800 damage unless it
was equal to my LP because Tributing a monster for that just isn't worth
it in most cases but the LP fee to negate direct attacks and destroy the
attacking monster isn't too bad. |

Speed Spell - Zero Reverse
Anime Normal Speed Spell
Activate only while you have 3 or more Speed Counters. Special Summon 1
monster destroyed by a card effect this turn in Attack Position. Its ATK
becomes 0.

Even if we get Speed Counters, this shouldn't be
the card you choose to use with them if it's released as is. |

Oberon's Prank
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when an effect that increases Life Points is activated.
Negate that effect, and both players take damage equal to the amount of
Life Points that they would have gained.

You might as well let them gain LP because
otherwise, this will hurt both players. Besides, Prime Material Dragon
is the better card to use over this. |

Healing Wind
Anime Normal Spell
Gain 200 Life Points for each monster on the field.

The LP boost per monster is too small to be any
use because that will likely be less than 1000, which can be achieved
far better with the likes of Dian Keto and Poison of the Old Man. |
 |
Spirit Contamination
Anime Normal Spell
Activate only during the turn a monster you control was destroyed.
Select 1 Spell or Trap Card your opponent controls, and destroy it.

As crazy as The Professor turned out to be, his
cards were pretty pitiful and this is just a watered down MST. |

Wave of Ill Intent
Anime Continuous Spell
Each time a monster you control is destroyed by battle, inflict 300
damage to your opponent.

Is the ill intent dealing a mere 300
damage when one of your monsters is taken out in battle? From the
artwork, I'd have thought there'd be much more to it than that. Since
there isn't, there's no reason to use this card unless it gets a major
buff upon release. |

Immortal Homeostasis
Anime Equip Spell
The equipped monster cannot be destroyed by battle. During the equipped
monster's controller's Standby Phase, if the equipped monster's ATK is
different from its original ATK, its controller takes 300 damage.

You'd be better off just using Mist Body because
that has this card's benefits without the drawbacks, minor as they are. |

Gestalt Trap
Anime Continuous Trap
Equip this card to a monster your opponent controls. The equipped
monster's ATK and DEF become 0, and its effect(s) is negated.

While not as versatile as Darkworld Shackles,
this goes a bit further by making the affected monster's ATK 0 and
negating its effects. |
 |
Light to the Depths
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when your opponent Summons a LIGHT monster. Your opponent
sends the top 5 cards of their Deck to the Graveyard. Then, they draw 1
card and reveal it. Unless that card or a card with the same name is
played by the end of this turn, inflict 2000 damage to your opponent.

You can ensure that your opponent Summons a
LIGHT monster with DNA Transplant but you can't always ensure they'll
play the card, especially given the first part of the effect is quite
risky. |

Symmetry Rorschach
LIGHT / Spellcaster / Level 3
/ ATK 1200 / DEF 1200
If this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, look at the top
card of your opponent's Deck.

Its rating is just as symmetrical as
this cards pitiful stats and effect, neither of which will help you much
in a Duel. |

Speed Spell - Gap Storm
Anime Normal Speed Spell
Activate only if there is a difference of 10 or more Speed Counters
between you and your opponent. Destroy all Spell and Trap Cards on the
field.

Even Hunter Pace knew it was useless so he used
the previous card below to make it so he could use this but players
wouldn't likely even go that route and use the next best thing. |

Speed Spell - Shift Down
Anime Normal Speed Spell
Remove 6 of your Speed Counters. Draw 2 cards.

It's certainly possible this could get released
as is given that it's another watered down Pot of Greed but then no one
would actually use it. |

Speed Spell - Accelerate Draw
Anime Normal Speed Spell
Activate only while you have 12 Speed Counters and
your opponent does not have 12 Speed Counters. Draw 2 cards.

Even if Speed World and possible ways to gain
counters with support cards were to be released, this'd still be too
situational for practical use. |

Acceleration Zone

Activate only when your opponent gains Speed Counters, except by the
effect of "Speed World". Gain 5 Speed Counters.

Too situational, even if we get Speed Counters. |

Speed Booster
Anime Continuous Trap
Apply these effects while you have more Speed Counters than your
opponent:
● During your opponent's turn: You can negate attacks
from monsters your opponent controls up to the difference in Speed
Counters.
● During your turn: Once per turn, you can inflict
damage to your opponent equal to the difference in Speed Counters x 100.

A low-end 2 out of 5 stars because of the 2nd
effect, which isn't going to be very much, even if Speed Counters become
a reality. |

Skull Base
DARK / Zombie /
Level 3 / ATK 800 / DEF 600
If this card is Tributed for a Tribute Summon, you can draw 1 card.

With Monarchs still playable, this'll give you
an extra card for bringing them out in addition to activating their
effects but it literally doesn't have anything else to make use of. |

Speed Spell - Summon Speeder
Anime Normal Speed Spell
Activate only while you have 4 or more Speed Counters. Special Summon 1
Level 4 or lower monster from your hand. It cannot attack this turn.

Doom Accelerator

do not lose Speed Counters on a "Speed World" you control during damage
calculation only. Gain 1 Speed Counter for each multiple of 500 damage
you took during damage calculation.

It'll depend on how viable Konami makes Speed
Counters, and that's only if they decide to add them to the counters
already determined. |

Zero Guard

an attack. Select 1 face-up monster you control. Until the End Phase,
its ATK becomes 0, and it cannot be destroyed by battle.

The affected monster doesn't have to be in
Attack Position but the effects only last one turn, which is good and
bad. |

Glory Shield
Anime Equip Spell
If the equipped monster attacks, your opponent cannot activate
Spell/Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step. When the equipped

With the right monster, you'll be able to attack
basically worry-free and you'll have less to worry about for later
thanks to this card's other effect. |
