to Attack Position. That monster's ATK is doubled until your next
Standby Phase.

A bit of a strict activation requirement but it
can help if your monster can survive destruction. Unfortunately, the
effect doesn't last that long. |

Upswell
Anime Quick-Play Spell
Activate only when an opponent's monster is destroyed by battle.
Special Summon 1 WATER monster in your Graveyard. It loses
1000 ATK.

Even if that's a strong WATER monster you're
reviving, there are far better options than this. |

Shark Spark
Anime Quick-Play Spell
Activate only when your opponent activates a Trap Card. Negate the
activation of that Trap Card and destroy it.

Being a Quick-Play Spell doesn't add much
compared to a Trap Card since you can't activate it during your
opponent's turn and if you Set it, it's basically a Trap Card at that
point but this isn't all that bad for what it offers for free. |

Heroic Change
Anime Normal Trap
Tribute 1 "Heroic" monster. Select 1 "Heroic Challenger" monster in
your Graveyard and Special Summon it.

Not sure I see the point in Tributing 1 Heroic
Challenger to revive another from your Graveyard when you can use other
better methods to just revive that 1 Heroic Challenger from your
Graveyard. |

Fighting Fund
Anime Quick-Play Spell
When a monster declares an attack, monsters cannot be destroyed by
this battle.

It affects both players' monsters but is a
Quick-Play Spell in the least. Though, Waboku is still easier to
activate and only affects your side of the field. |
 |
Fighter's Charm
Anime Normal Spell
Select 1 face-up Defense Position monster your opponent controls
with the DEF higher than its ATK and change it to Attack Position.
This turn, that monster's ATK becomes the same as its DEF.

All you end up doing is helping out your
opponent's monster by making it stronger than it otherwise would be, not
to mention reducing the battle damage your opponent would've taken. Use
Stop Defense instead. |

Xyz Crown
Anime Equip Spell
Equip only to an Xyz Monster. Its Rank is treated as its Level
instead. If the equipped monster is used as an Xyz Material, you can
treat it as 2 monsters.
COMMON |

It can help for not only additional Xyz Summons
but other Special Summons as well but the other benefit only comes with
it being Xyz Material. |
 |
Battler's Pride
Anime Counter Trap
Activate only when a Spell Card, Trap Card, or monster effect is
activated that would end the Battle Phase. Negate that activation of
that card and destroy it.
COMMON |

It can stop a handful of cards that would
otherwise ruin your plans but you probably won't be seeing cards from
that handful too often. Plus, Trap Jammer goes further anyway. |

Episode 57: Depths of Darkness |

String of Destiny
Anime Equip Spell
Equip only to a "Gimmick Puppet" monster. Once per turn, when the
equipped monster declares an attack, send the top card of your Deck
to the Graveyard. If that card is a Monster Card, during this turn,
the equipped monster's maximum number of attacks is equal to the
Level of the sent monster. If the equipped monster battles an Attack
Position monster, that monster is not destroyed by battle.
Otherwise, negate the attack and end the Battle Phase.

As their names suggest, Gimmick Puppets are
typically weak and having to rely on getting a Monster Card for multiple
attacks is pretty poor and even then, their weak ATK probably won't help
them make use of those attacks. |

Adapt to Adversity
Anime Continuous Trap
When a WATER monster(s) is Normal or Special
Summoned to your side of the field, it cannot be destroyed by the
effects of Spell Trap Cards activated at this time.

It'll only protect WATER monsters when they hit
the field but it's not all that bad, especially if said WATER monsters
have good effects to protect themselves further. |

Big Bang Panic
Anime Normal Spell
Each player selects 1 face-up Xyz Monster they control. Attach all
face-up Spell or Trap Cards your opponent controls as Xyz Materials
to your opponent's monster, then your Xyz Monster gains 800 ATK for
each card attached by this card's effect.

Panicking generally leads to bad decisions and
this one is no exception because while it seems like a good idea, your
opponent's Xyz Monster may have effects that render the ATK boost your
monster gains moot. |
 |
Upshift
Anime Normal Spell
Select the 1 face-up monster you control with the highest Level. The
Levels of all other face-up monsters you currently control become
the current Level of that monster, until the End Phase.
COMMON |

Though this is useful for Xyz Summons, it's
entirely dependent on what monster you control meets this card's
activation requirements. |

Mirror Shade
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when you would take damage. Pay half your Life Points.
You take no battle damage this turn.

Why pay LP to reduce Battle Damage you take to 0
when Waboku is not only more versatile but offers the better and
completely free way to reduce Battle Damage to 0? |
 |
Overlay Break
Anime Normal Spell
Select 1 face-up Xyz Monster on the field that has Xyz Material.
Send all of its Xyz Materials to the Graveyard. If that monster has
an effect to prevent it from being destroyed by battle, negate that
effect until the end of this turn.

Most Xyz Monsters don't have an ability that
prevents their destruction in battle and even fewer have it with out
having to detach Xyz Materials but this isn't too bad for those types of
monsters. |

Space Gate
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when your opponent activates a Trap Card and you
control a "Number 9: Dyson Sphere". Negate the activation of that
card and destroy it.

Number 9: Dyson Sphere takes a good deal of work
to get on the field and even having it out to use this doesn't make this
playable. |

Butterfly Swarm
Anime Continuous Spell
Pay 2000 Life Points. During each of your Standby Phases, pay 2000
Life Points or destroy this card. When a monster on the field is
destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, inflict 1500 damage to its
controller.
COMMON |

Not only is the activation cost steep but the
maintenance cost is too and that'll leave you with half your LP if it
remains on the field for just one turn. What's worse is that you're
risking further damage with the supposed benefits. |

Elimigate
Anime Continuous Spell
When a monster declares an attack, except an "Assassin" monster,
negate the attack and destroy that monster. If there are no
"Assassin" monsters on the field, destroy this card.

It really only supports Butterspy monsters
(though Assassin includes them in the anime) but once they're gone, so
is this card. |

Butterfly Charm
Anime Continuous Spell
Monsters your opponent controls must attack, if able. During your
opponent's End Phase, destroy all face-up monsters your opponent
controls that did not declare an attack this turn.

This has minor uses with cards like Yubel that
punish your opponent for attacking or in this card's case, not attacking
but it's still kinda situaitonal. |

Dance of the Butterspy
Anime Normal Spell
Activate only when there is a face-up Field Spell Card on the field.
Special Summon 2 Level 4 or lower "Butterspy" monsters from your
hand. Monsters you control cannot attack the turn this card is
activated.

Field Spells are still a thing these days,
though I'd bet not as big of a thing as they used to be. Plus, this'll
only work in a Butterspy Deck, and even then, it's not that great. |

Butterfly Ballet
Anime Continuous Spell
Activate only by paying 1000 Life Points. Once per turn, you can reveal
any number of "Butterfly" monsters in your hand to inflict 300
damage to your opponent for each card revealed.

You'll need at least 3 to make this usable and
more than that to actually make a significant impact in the Duel, though
that'll still mean you're revealing your future monsters and will likely
not have many defenses. |
