Yu-Gi-Oh Anime Cards (Page 79)

*Card effects below are as accurate as possible.
Episode 108: A Sea of Troubles (1)
Gorgon Charm
Anime Normal Spell
Select 1 face-down Defense Position monster on the field. Change it to face-up Defense Position.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: We have this card in the form of Book of Tayou but I'd rather either banish it with Nobleman of Crossout or destroy it with with Shield Crush.
Episode 107: Furry Fury
Raccoon Reverseal
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when a "Raccoon" monster you control is selected as an attack target. Destroy one of your opponent's monsters that battled and inflict damage to your opponent equal to its ATK.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: The Raccoon monsters we have thus far are pretty weak so they're bound to be attacked but if the monster they're battling is only somewhat stronger, it won't deal much damage.
Guard Plus
Anime Normal Spell
Tribute 1 monster you control, then select 1 monster you control. That monster gains DEF equal to the ATK of the Tributed monster.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It'd have to have some decent ATK to be even worthwhile but it could make the DEF of monsters with already good DEF higher still.
Leaf Transformation
Anime Normal Spell
Special Summon 1 "Raccoon" monster from your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Can't give it much credit when we don't have much for it to work with and what we do have isn't that great.
Episode 106: Put to the Test (2)
Galaxy Dragon Maelstrom
Anime Counter Trap
Activate only when your opponent activates a Spell Trap Card and a Dragon-Type Xyz Monster you control battles a Dragon-Type Xyz Monster your opponent controls. Negate the activation and destroy it, then negate the effects of all monsters your opponent controls.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It'll probably cripple the Dragon-Type Xyz Monster as they tend to require detaching Xyz Materials to use their effect but if they're still stronger, you're wasting your time.
Dragon Dance
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when an opponent's monster selects a Dragon-Type Xyz Monster you control as an attack target. Remove from play 2 Dragon-Type monsters from your Graveyard. The attacking monster loses ATK equal to the total ATK of the banished monsters.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Almost regardless of the banished Dragon-Type monsters' combined attacks, it'll probably be enough to drain the attacking monster's ATK enough that it's too weak to survive the attack and probably cost your opponent LP. The fact that it costs you those two Dragon-Type monsters and you needing a Dragon-Type Xyz Monster to even use this does hurt its playability.
Destiny Overlay
Anime Normal Spell
Select any number of face-up monsters on both player's side of the field, then you can Xyz Summon with those monsters after this card resolves.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: It'll require both players to have monsters but you can then Xyz Summon using them and this may help with Xyz Monsters whose effects depend on the number of Xyz Materials.
Destiny Break
Anime Continuous Trap
Activate only during your opponent's Battle Phase when an opponent's monster declares a direct attack. Draw 1 card and reveal it. If it was a monster, negate that attack, otherwise send the drawn card to the Graveyard. At the end of the Battle Phase, destroy this card, then Special Summon any monsters drawn by this card's effect from your hand. Their effects are negated.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: It's not really worth risking a direct attack just for a 1-in-3 chance of negating that attack and Special Summoning your drawn monster when better options already exist.
Destruction Reward
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when a monster your opponent controls is destroyed. Activate 1 of the following effects.
● If the destroyed monster is Level 5 or 6: Draw 1 card.
● If the destroyed monster is Level 7 or higher: Draw 2 cards.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Losing a high-level monster can be quite disappointing, especially if it was difficult to get out and this card doesn't care how that monster was Summoned previously but the effects are more specific.
Dragonic Divine
Anime Normal Spell
Activate only by paying 1000 Life Points when you control a Level 8 or higher Dragon-Type monster. Add the top-most Spell Card in your Graveyard that was activated this turn to your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: I already need to control a Level 8 or higher Dragon-Type monster but this card adds in a 1000 LP activation fee and for that, I can only pick the most recent Spell Card I used this turn. Not really a good trade-off in the slightest.
Desperate Maneuver
Anime Normal Spell
Pay 800 Life Points. Halve the original ATK of 1 face-up monster your opponent controls.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Less versatile than Shrink but the effect can be used more than once during the turn its activated for a small fee each time.
Episode 104: Barian Vengeance (2)
Overlay Marker
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when 2 monsters battle and an Xyz Monster activates its effect by detaching its own Xyz Material(s) and now has no Xyz Materials. Negate that effect of that monster and destroy that monster, then inflict damage to your opponent equal to the total ATK of the battling monsters.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: At least 3 monsters need to be face-up on the field just to activate this and one of those needs to be an Xyz Monster with an effect but you do get to deal what is probably going to be a hefty amount of damage to your opponent.
Battler's Cry
Anime Continuous Trap
Activate only when the ATK of a monster(s) your opponent controls is changed by a monster effect. The ATK of all Warrior-Type monsters you control is doubled. When a monster(s) is sent to the Graveyard, destroy this card.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Kinda situational to even activate and it self-destructs when a monster is sent to the Grave for any reason but you can certainly make use of your powered up Warrior-Type monsters.
Heroic Growth
Anime Equip Spell
Equip only to a Warrior-Type monster. While your Life Points are lower than your opponent's, the ATK of the equipped monster is doubled. While your Life Points are higher than your opponent's, the ATK of the equipped monster is halved.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: We have this already as Megamorph and I'm sure that's among the reasons why it hasn't been released yet, not to mention Megamorph is more versatile than this.
Xyz Battle Chain
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when a Spell or Trap Card that targets a face-up Xyz Monster(s) on the field is activated and both players control a face-up Xyz Monster. Select 1 face-up Xyz Monster you control, then negate the activation of that card and destroy it. If this card was activated during an opponent's turn that had no Battle Phase, 1 Xyz Monster your opponent controls must attack the monster you selected this turn.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Both effects are rather situational as not only does there need be an Xyz Monster being threatened by a Spell/Trap but both players need to control an Xyz Monster, making this ard pretty well useless.
Butterspy Courage
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when an opponent's monster declares an attack. Change the attack target to another face-up Attack Position "Phantom Butterfly" monster you control.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It can work against direct attacks but Butterspy monsters didn't prove that successful to my knowledge.
Episode 103: Barian Vengeance (1)
Gagagamirror
Anime Continuous Spell
Select 1 "Gagaga" monster you control. This card can be treated as an Xyz Material for an Xyz Summon with the same Level as that monster.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Obviously Gagaga Magician is your best bet since it can change its Level from 1 to 8 but not much else is even worthwhile.
Episode 102: The Dark Mist Rises (2)
Chaos Return
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only during your opponent's Battle Phase when an opponent's monster declares an attack. Negate the attack, then send 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard and activate 1 Spell Card from your Graveyard. After that, the monster whose attack was negated at the activation of this card attack must once again in a row.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: It's more costly than Double or Nothing!, which not only also doubles the ATK of the monster whose attack was negated but is easier to activate than this.
Superior Overlay
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when the number of Xyz Materials of 1 Xyz Monster you control outnumbers the combined Xyz Materials of all Xyz Monsters your opponent controls. Your opponent can detach 1 Xyz Material from each of their Xyz Monsters, otherwise destroy all Xyz Monsters your opponent controls that did not detach an Xyz Material.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: There will be cases where your Xyz Monster has less Materials but not all Xyz Monsters can be destroyed by card effects and with Number Wall already released, they can just use that instead.
Tribute Ticket
Anime Continuous Spell
You can activate this card by Tributing 1 monster you control. If you would Tribute a monster, you can treat this card as 2 monsters for that Tribute.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It can be better than using monsters like Double Coston but not by much.
