With cards this bad, it's no wonder Carly
Carmine lost to Sayer after getting caught snooping around. |

A Level 6 Normal Monster with 0 ATK and DEF is
quite awful indeed and even Hieratics' Normal Monster has more uses than
this. |

You can avoid unacceptable results, or
at least reduce them by not playing jank Normal Monsters like Fortune
Fairies. |

I think this card's flavor text undermines the
severity of what it means to draw this card because its stats are
pathetic and there's no effect to accompany it so you're left with a
worthless monster that is out done by the vast majority of Normal
Monsters released before and since. |

Synchro Destructor
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when a Synchro Monster you control destroys an opponent's
monster by battle. Inflict damage to your opponent equal to half the
original ATK of the destroyed monster. If the destroyed monster is a
Synchro Monster, this effect is activated twice.

Synchro monsters are still a forced to be
reckoned with, especially now with the likes of Star Eater to make sure
its attacks are more likely to succeed and thus you'll get a higher
chance to use the effect twice. |

Speed Spell - Power Baton
Anime Normal Speed Spell
Activate if you have 6 or more Speed Counters. Send 1 Monster Card from
your Deck to the Graveyard to have 1 monster you control gain ATK equal
to the ATK of the sent monster's, until the end of the next Damage Step.
You cannot conduct your normal draw during your next Draw Phase.

A temporary power boost is not worth the need
for 6 Speed Counters no matter how high the ATK boost ends up being,
especially since you also lose your next Draw Phase. |

Dark Tuner Nightmare Hand
DARK / Warrior-Type Dark Tuner / Level
10 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
When this card is Normal Summoned, you can Special Summon 1 Level 2 or
lower DARK monster from your hand or Graveyard.

It may be a Level 10 monster but its effect and
stats make that pointless because it's not worth spending 2 Tributes
just to bring out/revive a low-level DARK monster. |
 |
Shard of Hope
Anime Continuous Trap
When a monster you control inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent, draw
1 card. If it is a Trap Card, destroy this card and activate that card
from your hand. If the activation requirement(s) of the Trap Card are
incorrect, destroy it and send it to the Graveyard. If the card drawn by
this effect isn't a Trap Card, destroy it and send it to the Graveyard.

You already have a 1 in 3 chance of getting a
Trap Card but even lower odds of getting one you can activate straight
away with this card's effect. |

Gate Defender
EARTH / Rock / Level 4 /
ATK 0 / DEF 2000
Once per turn, when an opponent's monster declares an attack, you can
negate that attack. As long as you control another monster, your
opponent cannot select this card as an attack target. If a monster you
control is destroyed by battle, destroy this face-up card.

Its 2000 DEF isn't too bad but while it can
negate attacks and prevent itself from being an attack target, the first
effect is once per turn and the 2nd requires you to have another monster
out. Worse still, if you lose a monster in battle, this guy
self-destructs. |
 |
Defender's Mind
Anime Continuous Trap
Change all monsters you control to Defense Position, and the DEF of all
monsters you control are doubled. You cannot change monsters you control
to Attack Position.

Stall Decks would love this card because of
literally strengthening your defenses but with cards like Red Dragon
Archfiend and Shield Crush, this has less uses than if those cards
didn't exist. |

Speed Edge
Anime Continuous Trap
During each Standby Phase, if you have more Speed Counters than your
opponent, inflict damage to your opponent equal to that difference x
300.

Now this is more situational than Full Throttle
since you'll need to have more Speed Counters than your opponent and
there isn't likely going to be much of a difference, if at all. |

Full Throttle
Anime Continuous Trap
Activate only when the effect of "Speed World" activates. You gain 1
Speed Counter on "Speed World" during each player's Standby Phase.

This'll rack up counters for you more quickly
than your opponent will get them but it's still pretty situational. |

Gate Blocker 2
EARTH / Rock / Level 6 /
ATK 100 / DEF 3000
You can Tribute 1 "Gate Blocker" to Special Summon this card from your
hand. Your opponent cannot gain Speed Counters with the effect of "Speed
World".

With the original Gate Blocker already released,
this guy has a higher chance of getting released but even if it does get
released, its 3000 DEF and minor effects won't make it all that useful
unless it gets a buff. |

Dark Tuner Chaos Rogue
DARK / Fiend-Type Dark Tuner / Level

If this card is used for a Dark Synchro Summon, send the top 5 cards of
your opponent's Deck to the Graveyard.

Though it's possible these guys may become
regular Tuner monsters upon release, they still need more than that to
become useful. |

Drain Strike
Anime Equip Spell
When the equipped monster attacks a Defense Position monster, if the
equipped monster's ATK is higher than the DEF, inflict half the
difference as battle damage to your opponent, then gain Life Points
equal to the battle damage inflicted.

While it doesn't deal the full difference of
piercing battle damage, it makes up for that by giving you LP equal to
what your opponent took from the effect, though I'd still consider
dealing full piercing battle damage would be better. |

opponent controls.

Since Konami opted to make every Dark Synchro
Monster into a regular Synchro Monster, this card has become utterly
useless, though it's useless even if Dark Synchro Summons were possible
considering the lousy effect it comes with as a Level 8 monster. |

Ice Mirror
Anime Normal Spell
Select 1 face-up Level 3 or lower WATER monster you control. Special
Summon 1 monster with the same name as that monster from your Deck. The
monster Special Summoned by this card's effect cannot declare an attack
that turn.

Though Grady used this on the card below this
one, it's not all bad considering you'll have a 2nd monster for Tributes
and whatnot. |

If this card is destroyed by battle, inflict 300 damage to your
opponent.

There's nothing to fear over this card at all. A
real blizzard is life-threatening whereas this won't be any threat to
your LP or many monsters. |

opponent directly. Destroy it during the End Phase.

Why even use this when it has such strict
activation requirements and nasty side-effects? You'd have better luck
using a Machine-Type monster and activating Limiter Removal. At least
then, you don't have the horrible side-effects, except self-destruction
during the End Phase. |

Sneak Exploder
Anime Continuous Trap
Activate only while your opponent controls no monsters. During your
opponent's next Standby Phase, send this card to the Graveyard and
inflict 500 damage to your opponent for each monster you control.

Even with your opponent not controlling
monsters, you'll still get more using Ceasefire, which does the same
thing only it's not vulnerable to destruction before its effect can be
used as it can be chained to effects that would destroy it. |
