Yu-Gi-Oh Anime Cards (Page 74)

*Card effects below are as accurate as possible.
Episode 79: Doom in Bloom
Zen Garden
Anime Field Spell
WATER monsters cannot declare an attack. While only 1 Plant-Type monster is face-up on the field, you can Special Summon 1 Plant-Type monster from your hand. Face-up Xyz Monsters gain 100 ATK x their Rank.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Two of the effects are quite restrictive while the third is so poor it's not even worth it.
Fire Lily
FIRE / Plant / Level 3 / ATK 800 / DEF 800
When this face-up Attack Position card is selected as an attack target, inflict 800 damage to your opponent.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Since this card has to be in Attack Mode just to deal the 800 damage when its stats are no higher than the damage it deals, you're probably going to be taking more damage than this card dishes out.
Episode 78: The Adventures of Artimus Stanleyus
Surging Erosion
Anime Quick-Play Spell
Destroy 1 face-up Field Spell Card on the field. All face-up WATER monsters on the field gain 500 ATK until the end of this turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: This has minor implications, especially since now players can have two Field Spells active at the same time but it doesn't do much, even in WATER Decks.
Miracle Sword
Anime Equip Spell
The equipped monster gains 500 ATK. If it battles an opponent's monster, and that monster is still on the field at the end of the Damage Step, you can send this face-up card to the Graveyard to activate 1 Spell Card from your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: The only thing you get out of this is activating a Spell Card from your hand that you could've activated without sacrificing this. Of course, this card is also poor and not just because of that last effect.
Ordeal of the Hero
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when your opponent Normal Summons a monster and you control a "Comics Hero" monster. Your opponent Special Summons 2 monsters from their Deck with the same Level as their Normal Summoned monster, otherwise inflict 400 damage to your opponent. Their effects are negated.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Even if your opponent can't Special Summon anything, all they have to worry about is a mere 400 damage. If they can Special Summon, then you're just helping them Xyz Summon for free. There's really no point to this card, especailly since you're required to do more work than your opponent.
Tristan, Knight of Tragedy
EARTH / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1400 / DEF 1800
An Xyz Monster that was Summoned using this card on the field as Xyz Material gains this effect.
● When that monster is Xyz Summoned, select 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. That monster loses 1000 DEF.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Having an opponent's monster lose 1000 DEF is just as mariginal to losing 800 ATK as its stats are compared to Lancelot's stats.
Vow of the Sword
Anime Normal Spell
Activate only when you control a Warrior-Type monster. Special Summon 1 Level 4 Warrior-Type monster from your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: Now this is much better. Warrior Decks of any variation would have a field day over this.
Lancelot, Knight of the Lake
EARTH / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1500 / DEF 1700
An Xyz Monster that was Summoned using this card on the field as Xyz Material gains this effect.
● When that monster is Xyz Summoned, select 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. That monster loses 800 ATK.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Although you could use the previous card to pretty well eliminate this card's chances of losing in battle, it's still pretty well useless because the only bonus the Xyz Monster gets is the privledge of lowering the ATK of an opponent's monster by 800.
Comic Field
Anime Field Spell
If a "Comics Hero" monster would be destroyed by battle, it gains 500 ATK instead.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: The only Comics Hero monsters we have are Xyz Monsters so this probably wouldn't get much use but if by chance you did have one of them out, this'd help out a bit.
Episode 77: Rule Duel
Double Check
Anime Quick-Play Spell
If a monster you control battled an opponent's monster but that monster was not destroyed by battle, destroy that monster at the end of the Damage Step.
COMMON 
Rating: 2
Comments: With more monsters that survive battle destruction being released, this'd get more use but you still won't see those monsters too often.  
Clear Robe
Anime Quick-Play Spell
If 1 monster you control would be removed from the field, you can make its ATK and DEF 0 instead.
COMMON 
Rating: 2
Comments: A Quick-Play Spell that can save you extra damage from monster effects that inflict the ATK of the destroyed monster but not for those that deal the ATK in the Grave.
Surprise Inspection
Anime Normal Trap
Change 1 face-down Defense Position monster on the field to face-up Defense Position.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: A surprise is all this card is but it's not all that good when there are other cards already released that do it better.
Sakaki the Honor Student
LIGHT / Spellcaster / Level 6 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1200
If you control a "Priestess" monster, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. This card cannot attack during the turn it is Special Summoned this way.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: This so-called honor student is really more of a C student because those stats are more indicative of Level 4 or lower monsters and his Level should indicate higher ATK and DEF, not to mention a better effect. Regardless, he's getting an F from me.
Tamagushi the Righteous
LIGHT / Spellcaster / Level 6 / ATK 1000 / DEF 2200
You can Normal Summon this card without Tributing, but its ATK becomes 0.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: At least other monsters that can be Normal Summoned without Tributing have higher ATK and/or other effects to make them worthwhile. This guy does not and using it just for the previous card is a poor choice.
Mirror Stage of Discipline
Anime Continuous Spell
The ATK and DEF of all face-up monsters you control become their original ATK and DEF.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: This'd be more useful than Skill Drain as it would only affect your monsters and can be used with monsters we already have out but still has limited uses.
Episode 76: Hard Knox
Gagaga x Gagaga
Anime Continuous Spell
Activate only by selecting 1 "Gagaga" monster you control. Special Summon this card as a Normal Monster with the same name, Type, Attribute, Level, ATK, and DEF as that target. (This card is also still treated as a Spell Card.) When that monster is removed from field, destroy this card.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: The Spell Card variant of a Trap Monster but it's more restrictive as it only works with Gagaga monsters and self-destructs when that Gagaga monster is gone.
Panic Burial
Anime Normal Trap
Select 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. Inflict 100 damage to your opponent for each monster sent to the Graveyard this turn, then the selected monster loses ATK equal to the damage inflicted.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: The ATK loss and damage are both entirely dependent on the number of monsters sent to the Grave the turn it's activated and it's only 100 for each. You can do way better with Darkworld Shackles and other cards.
Bear's Boot Camp
Anime Normal Spell
Activate only when you control "Coach Captain Bearman". Special Summon 1 Level 4 Beast-Warrior-Type monster from your Deck.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Bearman has proven to be alright in my book and you may likely have it out as it can be Normal Summoned without Tributing but this card isn't a whole lot better than that card.  
Training Grounds
Anime Field Spell
You can send 2 monsters from your hand to the Graveyard to Normal Summon 1 Level 7 or higher monster without Tributing.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: The effect is technically once per turn and costs about the same amount as cards like Cost Down but it does a bit better than Cost Down.
Three Card Summon
Anime Normal Spell
Reveal 3 Level 4 or lower monsters with the same Level in your hand. Select 1 monster among them and Special Summon it.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It's a bit risky but pull it off and you'll have a monster that didn't take up your Normal Summon/Set.
