We've had cards this bad back in the early days
of the game so there's no excuse for it being in this era of the game
and it's clear Konami knew that. |

monster from your hand whose ATK is less than or equal to the ATK of the

It can help with Xyz Summons or just having a
greater army but is limited to Ninja monsters, which even now aren't
good enough to me. |

Statue Zone
Anime Field Spell
Negate the effects of face-up "Statue" monsters on the field.

We don't have any Statue monsters like what
Master Roku had but there could always be more later. |

Battle Damage to your opponent but did not destroy that monster by

We've got a few monsters that can survive
destruction in battle on their own but still, you're not likely to see
them when this is drawn. |

Armored Xyz
Anime Normal Spell
Special Summon 1 Xyz Monster in your Graveyard and equip it to 1
face-up Xyz Monster you control. While equipped with that monster,
the equipped monster's name and ATK become the same as that
monster's.
During the Battle Phase, if the equipped monster attacks, you
can send the monster equipped to it by this effect to the Graveyard.
That monster can attack once again in a row.

Pretty situational but can help out if your Xyz
Monster's ATK has been drained and needs extra help. |

Twin Volcano
Anime Continuous Spell
During each of your Standby Phases, inflict 500 damage to your
opponent. You can send this face-up card to the Graveyard to inflict
500 damage to your opponent.

The damage is too slow and too minimal to be
worthwhile. Plus we have cards that do that and more like Darkworld
Shackles. |

Final Offering
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only during the Battle Phase. Select 1 card in your hand
and add it to another player's hand, then end the Battle Phase.

Giving your opponent a pitiful card and ending
the Battle Phase isn't all that bad, though Negate Attack and others can
do that without giving up anything. |

Forced Change
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when a monster you control is is selected as a target
by an effect. Select another appropriate monster on the field and
make it the new target.

A 1-in-3 chance of getting a Trap Card, let
alone one that targets but it can work to your advantage as several
cards released now target that previously didn't say so. |

Volcanic Abyss
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when a player takes effect damage. Look at your
opponent's hand, and if there is a Monster Card in the hand, shuffle
that card into the Deck.

Even if the activation requirement is met,
there's no guarantee you'll find a Monster Card in your opponent's hand. |

Compensation Exchange
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when a monster you control is selected as an attack
target. Negate the attack, and take damage equal to that monster's
ATK.

How about using Draining Shield to negate the
attack and gain LP equal to that monster's ATK instead? |

Frozen Ice Cave
Anime Normal Spell
Select 1 face-up Defense Position monster you control that has a
Level. Increase its Level by 1.

Though the affected monster has to be in Defense
Mode, it's not all that bad a card, though Synchro Boost does this and
adds 500 ATK to the equipped monster. |

Volcanic Ash

Select 1 face-up Attack Position monster you control and change it
to Defense Position.

With the release of Guard Penalty, you'll draw 1
card, though some monsters do this on their own accord, making this card
less useful. |

Avalanche

Activate only when an Xyz Monster is Xyz Summoned. Select that
monster. It cannot attack. Each time that monster activates an
effect, inflict 500 damage to its controller.

Apart from dealing 500 damage to its owner, it's
not going to do anything and I doubt the Xyz Monster's owner is going to
worry about the damage effect. |

you control.

You probably won't have more than two out so
that's 1000 damage that can be dealt better other ways. |

Icebergdon
WATER / Dinosaur / Level 5 / ATK 1300 / DEF 2100
When this card is Normal Summoned, select 1 face-up Attack Position
monster your opponent controls and destroy it.

Normal Summoning this guy means putting its 1300
ATK up front, leaving it and you quite vulnerable. Its effect and stats
are also pretty poor as a whole. |
 |
Flame Egg Level 5
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when a player takes damage from a card effect. Your
opponent can
Special Summon 1 Level 5 monster from their hand. Otherwise, they
take 500 damage.

Though it's not likely your opponent will have a
Level 5 monster in their hand at the time this is activated, there's
still that chance and you may regret it. Plus 500 damage isn't much to
deal so even if they don't have one, you're not gaining much. |

Baggy Pants Lavasaurus
FIRE / Dinosaur / Level 5 / ATK 2100 / DEF 1300
When this card is destroyed, add 1 Level 5 monster from your Deck to
your hand.

Its only effect is restrained to Level 5
monsters and only upon its own destruction. Plus it only adds the
monster to your hand, not to mention its stats just make it unplayable. |

Blizzard Egg Level 5
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when a player takes damage from a card effect. That player can
Special Summon 1 Level 5 monster from their hand. Otherwise, they
take 500 damage.

It can increase your opponent's troubles but
since it's restrained to Level 5 monsters, you may not be activating
this right away. |

Pompadour Blizzardon
WATER / Dinosaur / Level 4 / ATK 1400 / DEF 1400
If this card is destroyed by battle, select 1 Attack Position
monster your opponent controls. That monster cannot change its
battle position.

Restraining a weak monster to Attack Mode isn't
that bad but you may not get that choice and this guy must be destroyed
by battle to even do that much. |

It'd be a worthwile addition to your Deck,
though the effect is too risky to attempt using. |
