Yu-Gi-Oh Anime Cards (Page 75)

*Card effects below are as accurate as possible.
Episode 84: Playing Defense
Fish Spawn
Anime Normal Spell
Pay 1000 Life Points. Special Summon 2 "Fish Spawn Tokens" (Fish-Type/
WATER/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0).
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Though there are other cards that Special Summon Tokens for free, they won't do you much good in a Deck around Fish or WATER monsters. The activation fee is still kinda steep though.
Episode 83: Sphere Cube Calamity (2)
Tachyon Drive
Anime Quick-Play Spell
Select 1 "Tachyon Dragon" monster you control. This turn, it is unaffected by the effects of Spell or Trap Cards.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: All we have now is Number 107 and Number C107 but perhaps we may get more in the future. Until then, this won't have much to work with upon release.
Energy Attractor
Anime Normal Spell
Select 1 face-up Xyz Monster you control that has no Xyz Material. Attach this card and 1 Set card in your opponent's Spell & Trap Card Zone to that monster as Xyz Materials. You cannot Normal or Special Summon any monsters during the turn you activate this card.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Losing most of your ability to Summon the turn you use this does hurt its playability but you also get to add 2 Xyz Materials to your Xyz Monster, including a face-down card your opponent has out.
Instant Overlay
Anime Quick-Play Spell
Select 1 face-up Xyz Monster on the field that has no Xyz Materials. Attach this card to it as an Xyz Material.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It's even a Quick-Play Spell so you can use it right at the moment your Xyz Monster is out of materials, making it a hair better than Overlay Regen but not by much.
Photon Trade
Anime Normal Spell
Send 1 "Photon" monster from your hand to the Graveyard. Draw 2 cards.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Most Photon monsters have proven to me that they're not very good but I suppose any of them can make use with this.
Episode 82: Sphere Cube Calamity
Overlay Chain
Anime Equip Spell
Equip only to a face-up Xyz Monster you control. Xyz Materials attached to it are unaffected by your opponent's card effects. If the equipped monster has no Xyz Material, destroy this card, then draw 1 card.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Getting an Xyz Monster out when this is in your hand isn't all that difficult but it takes more effort than you may be able to perform at the time. The effect isn't all that bad though.
Episode 81: The Friendship Games
Hand Power
Anime Normal Trap
Remove from play 1 "Hand" monster in your Graveyard, then select 1 face-up monster you control. That monster's  ATK is doubled until the end of this turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Hand monsters are few and far between but there's more than just the ones Girag used when he activated this card and the benefit doesn't apply to just them.
Spell Search
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only at the start of your opponent's Draw Phase. Your opponent adds 1 Spell Card from their Deck to their hand instead of conducting their normal draw.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Talk about giving your opponent an advantage because with today's powerful cards, this would be one of the worst things you could do in a Duel.
Episode 80: Rivals in the Ring
Xyz Strike
Anime Counter Trap
During either player's turn, if a face-up Xyz Monster you control battles a face-up Xyz Monster your opponent controls and your opponent activates a Trap Card, negate the activation of that Trap Card and destroy it, then draw 1 card and reveal it. If that card is a monster, switch the ATK of the battling monsters until the end of the Battle Phase, then your opponent's battling monster's ATK becomes 0. If not, double any battle damage you take from that battle. Then, send the drawn card to the Graveyard.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: A nice wall of effect text for a risky gamble and a situational activation requirement. I don't see how this is worthwhile.
Fancy Footwork
Anime Counter Trap
Activate only when a Trap Card is activated the Battle Phase. Negate the activation of that Trap Card and destroy it. When a Trap Card is activated and you control a "Battlin' Boxer" monster, add this card from your Graveyard to your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: The original Trap Jammer whose effect is included in this card's effect, is still pretty decent but the other effect isn't really enough to make this card's rating be higher.
Battle Rush
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when a monster you control battles an opponent's monster. Your monster cannot be destroyed by that battle and your opponent takes any battle damage you would have taken from that battle.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It's helpful to have two benefits to your side when your monster may lose and that may be enough to deal extra hurt on your opponent by taking their monster out and costing them extra damage.
Mano a Mano
Anime Continuous Spell
During the Battle Phase, if either player controls 2 or more monsters, destroy this card. If a monster battles another monster, any battle damage either player takes from that battle is increased by 1000.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: One-on-one battles can be interesting but not via this card's effect because both players will probably end up hurting from this.
Ring Announcer
Anime Normal Spell
Special Summon 1 "Battlin' Boxer" monster from your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It has no restraints on how to use your new Battlin' Boxer monster, nor any on the Battlin' Boxer monster you can Special Summon but the archetype as a whole to me is mediocre.
Episode 79: Doom in Bloom (Continued)
Freezing Point
Anime Quick-Play Spell
Select 1 face-up Xyz Monster that has no Xyz Materials. Its ATK becomes 0.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Far too situational to be useful, especially with better cards like Darkworld Shackles that are able to cripple any monster with no effort.
Flower Judgment
Anime Quick-Play Spell
Select 1 Plant-Type Xyz Monster you control that has Xyz Material and detach all of its Xyz Materials. It gains 800 ATK for each Xyz Material detached by this effect.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Your judgment must be poor if you think it's a good idea to throw away your Plant-Type Xyz Monster's Xyz Materials just to power it up.
Rose Marker
Anime Continuous Trap
Each time an opponent's Spell or Trap Card is activated, inflict 300 damage to your opponent.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: It'd take three of these to make the effect a threat because otherwise, it's not going ot cost your opponent much unless they activate a card with an activation fee.
Ice Chain
Anime Continuous Trap
When this card is activated, Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower WATER monster from your hand. When that monster is removed from the field, destroy this card. When this card is removed from the field, destroy that monster.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It'll work even if you already control a monster, unlike Water Hazard but WH is also a Spell Card that doesn't take the monster with it if it's removed from the field.
Blizzard Jet
Anime Normal Spell
Select 1 WATER Winged Beast-Type monster on the field. It gains 1500 ATK until the End Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Winged Beasts, especially the stronger ones, can really make use of this but the ATK boost only lasts a short time and it has to be a WATER Winged Beast.
Cosmos
DARK / Plant / Level 3 / ATK 600 / DEF 900
If you control 2 or more Plant-Type monsters, you can Special Summon this card from your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: The name may hint at Astronomy but all signs point to a greatly unplayable card.
Ferocious Flora
FIRE / Plant / Level 3 / ATK 1000 / DEF 500
During either player'sr turn, if a Plant-Type monster you control battles an opponent's monster, the opponent's monster loses 800 ATK.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: While the ATK loss isn't game-breaking, it's still worthy of 2 stars, especially given the effect works during either player's turn and is permanent.
