Flattery
Anime Normal Trap

Unless the ATK boost is high and/or your
monster's ATK is close to your opponent's monster, this isn't really
going to help you much. |
 |
Regretful Tuning
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when you take Battle Damage from a direct attack.
Select and Special Summon 1 Synchro Monster from your Graveyard. If
that monster attacks, destroy it at the end of the Battle Phase.

You first have to take a direct attack and then
your revived Synchro Monster is wired to self-destruct if it ever
attacks during the Battle Phase. |

Magic Charge
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when a Spell Card you control is destroyed by the
effect of an opponent's card effect. Both players take 2000 damage.

It proved to be so bad it cost Andre his duel
with Yusei and was only done so to leave Yusei at less LP than his next
opponent, which is a pretty poor strategy. Plus, meeting the conditions
for this is harder than it appears. |

Episode 99: Trouble for Team 5Ds |
 |
Dimension Equilibrium
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only if a monster you control is destroyed by battle. End
the Battle Phase. Then, Special Summon the monster that was
destroyed by battle from the Graveyard, and remove from play the
monster that destroyed it by battle.

Whether it's your only monster or one of your
multiple monsters, this'd come in quite handy to stop all your
opponent's future attacks that turn, punish the offending monster that
triggered this and get your monster back. |

Episode 98: Power Plays |
 |
Overpower
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when a monster you control is targeted by a Spell,
Trap, or Effect Monster's effect that negates a monster's attack.
Negate the activation of that card, and destroy it.

Several cards that negate attacks are released
and generally do target but this isn't going to do anything against
cards like Mirror Force that do neither. |
 |
Dimension Trap
Anime Normal Trap
Remove from play 1 monster you control and 1
Trap Card in your Graveyard. The effect of this card becomes the same as that Trap
Card.

Copying Trap effects isn't a bad idea but this
requires too much for it be useful. |

Rage Resynchro
Anime Normal Trap
Select 1 Synchro Monster in your Graveyard. Send the appropriate
Synchro Material Monsters you control listed on that card to the
Graveyard, whose total Levels equal that monster's Level, and
Special Summon that monster. It gains 500 ATK. Destroy it during the
next turn's End Phase.

Just use an effect that revives monsters to
revive the Synchro Monster and if it can't be Special Summoned from the
Graveyard, then this'd be no use anyway. |
 |
Different Dimension Barrier - Lost Force
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when an opponent's monster declares an attack. If a
monster was removed from your side of the field this turn, except by
being destroyed by battle, negate the attack. Then, inflict damage
to your opponent equal to the ATK of the monster that attacked.

Too situational to be useful, especially
considering Magic Cylinder doesn't even need you to control a monster. |

Episode 97: Natural Instincts (2) |
 |
Shield Coat
Anime Continuous Trap
Activate only when an opponent's monster is Summoned whose ATK is
greater than the DEF of a monster you control. Double the DEF of all
face-up Defense Position monsters you control. Destroy this card during your 2nd Standby Phase after activation.

Somewhat situational but these days it's
becoming more and more likely that the opponent will Summon a monster
with more ATK than your monster's DEF. |

Beast Burial Ritual
Anime Normal Trap
Destroy 1 Beast-Type monster you control and send it to the
Graveyard. Draw 2 cards. Cards drawn by this effect cannot be used
this turn.

The name would have you believe it's a Ritual
Spell as 99% of cards with Ritual in their names are Ritual Spells but
this one isn't, which doesn't help it much. Andre was able to make use
of this to bring out Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest but ended up
wasting a Nimble Momonga to do it. |
 |
Chain Arrow
Anime Normal Trap
Select 1 face-up monster on the field. This turn, if that monster
battles with another monster, it gains 500 ATK during damage
calculation only. Also, if that monster destroys a monster by
battle, select 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. It loses
1000 ATK until the End Phase.

The boost and loss could both be enough to help
your monsters succeed but you'll need more than that to actually succeed
given the three main types of cards that exist. |

Synchro Rivalry
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when your opponent Summons a Synchro Monster. Monsters
cannot be destroyed by battle this turn.

Synchro Summon was certainly common back when
this debuted in the anime but with other methods being released since
then, this would see less play and is more situaitonal than even Waboku,
which only affects your monsters. |

White Warrior - Sleet the Morning Star
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
You can Tribute this card to select 1 face-up monster you control
and have it gain the following effect: • If this card destroys an
opponent's monster by battle, inflict damage to your opponent equal
to half of this card's ATK.

This can be pretty powerful with the strongest
monsters but it's not a Tuner monster and only deals half the affected
monster's ATK. |

Down Burst
Anime Normal Trap
Set all face-up Spell and Trap Cards your opponent controls.

This can be beneficial if your opponent's Deck
is Trap-heavy but some Spell Cards can be activated during your
opponent's turn anyway. |

White Warrior - Snow the Rope Dart
LIGHT / Fairy-Type Tuner / Level 4 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
This card can attack your opponent directly. This card gains 100 ATK
for each card on the field. When this card is selected as an attack
target, return it to the hand.

It's a searchable Level 4 Tuner monster but
that's about all it's really good for. |

Sacred Arrow
Anime Continuous Trap
During each player's End Phase, each player takes 400 damage for
each of their monsters that were destroyed and sent to the Graveyard
this turn.

If your monsters are destroyed as well as your
opponent's then you're not really gaining much if any advantage over
them now are you? Plus if you do manage to just destroy your opponent's
monsters, then you're not likely to deal much damage. |

White Warrior - Hail the Iron Hammer
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1600
If this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, select 1
monster on the field and destroy it.

The effect is manditory so it may cost you one
of your own monsters but that also means it can't miss the timing so you
can take out an opponent's monster with ease. |

Whiteout
Anime Continuous Trap
Negate the effects of monsters your opponent controls that target a
card(s) in their hand, their Graveyard, or their side of the field.

I can see this getting a watering down upon
release because it's so one-sided, though only affects the opponent's
ability to target cards. |

White Warrior - Fog the Treasure Shield
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 4 / ATK 300 / DEF 2000
If this card is in face-up Defense Position when a monster you
control inflicts damage to your opponent by a direct attack, you can
select 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field, and destroy it.

It won't destroy much most of the time but this
guy does have 2000 DEF and should your opponent take a direct attack to
their LP, they'll lose a Spell/Trap Card too. |

Space Jump
Anime Counter Trap
Activate only during your Battle Phase, when a monster you control
would be destroyed or removed from play by an opponent's card
effect. Remove from play that monster and inflict damage to your
opponent equal to its ATK.

You're going to lose the monster anyway and may
get to deal some damage to your opponent but then it's off the field,
leaving you one less monster to attack or defend. |
