Yu-Gi-Oh Anime Cards (Page 83)

*Card effects below are as accurate as possible.
Episode 125: Fight for a Friend
Panic Shuffle
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when a face-up Xyz Monster you control is selected as a target by an opponent's card effect. Change all Attack Position monsters on the field to face-up Defense Position, then shuffle all Spell and Trap Cards in the Graveyard(s) into the Deck. Their battle positions cannot be changed until the End Phase of this turn.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: It's going to hurt you probably more than your opponent because you're risking an Xyz Monster while your opponent is risking whatever card effect triggers this card's activatin. Plus, both players lose access to any Spell and Trap Cards that were in the Graveyard.
Overlay Connection
Anime Normal Trap
Select 1 face-up Xyz Monster you control that has no Xyz Material. Attach this card to that monster as an Xyz Material. During your Standby Phase, if this card is in your Graveyard because it was sent there to activate that monster effect, you can pay 1000 Life Points to attach this card to that monster as an Xyz Material.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It's slower and more restrained than Overlay Regen but can reattach itself to your Xyz Monster later on for a relatively small fee.
Banish Reactor
Anime Quick-Play Spell
Activate only when a card you control, that is in your hand or in your Graveyard is removed from play. Add 1 Spell Card from your Graveyard to your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It's not entirely difficult to get a card to be banished, especially in today's metagame but you'll also need a worthwhile Spell Card to retrieve when this is activated. Otherwise, it won't do you much good.
Overlay Satellite
Anime Equip Spell
If the equipped monster is used as an Xyz Material for an Xyz Summon, you can treat it as 2 monsters. If the equipped monster is used as an Xyz Material for an Xyz Summon, attach this card to the Summoned monster as an Xyz Material. If you do, it cannot attack this turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It can be useful but using this to Xyz Summon causes the Xyz Monster to wait a turn before attacking.
Episode 124: Battle with the Barians
Overlay Dark Reincarnation
Anime Normal Spell
Send 1 random Xyz Material from a monster your opponent controls to the Graveyard, then, if that Xyz Material was a DARK monster, Special Summon that monster and draw 1 card. Otherwise, halve your Life Points.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: The risk is far too great to make this card useful because in most cases, you're going to lose half your LP just to send that Xyz Material to the Graveyard.
Gimmick Shield
Anime Equip Spell
Equip only to a "Gimmick Puppet" Xyz Monster. Its ATK and DEF are switched. Once per turn, you can inflict 300 damage to your opponent for each Xyz Material the equipped monster has.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Gimmick Puppets, Xyz Monster or otherwise, aren't really the broken monsters they are in the anime, which means they have little chance of actually doing well in tournaments. This may help a bit but not enough to make much of a difference.
Episode 123: Assimilation (2)
Returning Light
Anime Continuous Trap
Activate only when your opponent Special Summons a monster(s). Special Summon 1 LIGHT monster from your Graveyard and equip it with this card. It loses 1000 ATK. When this card is removed from the field, destroy the equipped monster.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Don't see why I'd use this over Call of the Haunted as that can also revive a monster basically whenever I want but doesn't take anything away from it. It just has to be in Attack Mode, which is what you want most of the time anyway.
Infection Extension
Anime Continuous Spell
Activate only if you did not Normal Summon this turn. Special Summon 1 "Infection Bug Token" (Fiend-Type/DARK/Level 1/ATK 300/DEF 300). (You can reduce to 0 any battle damage either player takes from battles involving that Token.) Your opponent can only Normal or Special Summon monsters in face-up Attack Position. When this card is destroyed, you can destroy 1 monster your opponent controls, then inflict 300 damage to your opponent.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Easier to activate than Infection Medium but still has some restraints attached and you're forced to use it without your Nornal Summon. The 3rd effect isn't that bad though.
Infection Medium
Anime Continuous Trap
Activate only if a Fiend-Type Xyz Monster under your control was destroyed this turn. Destroy all monsters you control, then Special Summon 5 "Infection Bug Tokens" (Fiend-Type/DARK/Level 1/ATK 300/DEF 300). (You can reduce to 0 any battle damage either player takes from battles involving these Tokens.) You cannot Normal Summon monsters from your hand. When this card is destroyed, you can destroy 1 monster your opponent controls, then inflict 300 damage to your opponent.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Strict activation requirements and not-so-great bonus effects as there's restraints even while this card is active.
Stop Hammer
Anime Quick-Play Spell
Activate only during the Battle Step when an attack is occurring. Negate the attack, then the attacking monster loses 500 ATK.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It doesn't get rid of the affected monster bot lowers its ATK by 500, making it a bit weaker for your next attack or preventing it from attacking again.
Overlay Hunt
Anime Counter Trap
Activate only when an Xyz Monster your opponent controls selects a face-up Xyz Monster you control as an attack target. Negate the effects of your opponent's attacking monster, then detach all Xyz Materials from that monster and attach them to the attack target as Xyz Materials.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: While it can only be used when your Xyz Monster is attacked by your opponent's, yours basically wins out as the opponent's becomes relient on its ATK and only if that's not nulled by the loss of its Xyz Materials.
Episode 122: Assimilation (1)
Prevent and Draw
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only if you would take damage from a card effect. Halve that damage, then draw 1 card.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: For some instances, even half the damage is too much for your remaining LP so drawing this card means nothing. For others though, it's not too bad.
Number 1: Infection Buzz King
DARK / Fiend-Type Xyz / Rank 8 / ATK 3000 / DEF 2500
3 Level 8 monsters
When this card is Xyz Summoned, you can choose 1 monster in your opponent's Extra Deck and send it to the Graveyard. This card cannot be destroyed by battle except with "Number" monsters. Once per turn, you can attach 1 "Number" monster from your opponent's Graveyard to this card as an Xyz Material. Once per turn, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to select 1 card your opponent controls and destroy it, then if that card was a monster, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the destroyed monster's ATK.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It'd take more effort to get out unless Konami makes it easier but since we don't have the general built-in battle protection Number monsters have in the anime, this card isn't all that great as a whole. In fact, The last effect is really the only reason it's getting a rating as high as it is.
Multifly
Anime Normal Spell
Select 1 Level 2 or lower monster you control. Special Summon 2 monsters from your hand with the same name as the selected monster.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Only really helps with Rank 2 Xyz Summons, though good Xyz Monsters for that are quite limited.
Infection Fly
DARK / Fiend / Level 1 / ATK 100 / DEF 0
Once per turn, you can double the Levels of all face-up monsters you control.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Doubling the Levels with this guy won't mean very much on its own but if you have two other monsters out, then this'll become useful but that's about the only thing worthwhile this card has to offer.
Episode 121: Mission: Astral World (4)
New Order 13: Etheric Amon
LIGHT / Fairy-Type Xyz / Rank 13 / ATK 5000 / DEF 4000
This card cannot be Special Summoned except by the effect of a "Rank-Up-Magic" Spell Card. This card cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects. This card gains 100 ATK for each Xyz Material attached to it. When this card is Special Summoned, attach a number of cards from the top of your opponent's Deck to this card as Xyz Materials, equal to the difference in Ranks between this card and 1 face-up Xyz Monster your opponent controls. When an Xyz Monster is Special Summoned to your opponent's side of the field, attach a number of cards from the top of your opponent's Deck to this card as Xyz Materials, equal to the difference in Ranks between this card and that monster.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Rank 12 Xyz Monsters are few and far between here so getting this guy out would be quite difficult but from what I'm reading with the effects, it's not particularly good, except for its immunity to destruction and its stats.
Episode 120: Mission: Astral World (3) (Continued)
Rank Wall
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only when an opponent's Xyz Monster selects a face-up Xyz Monster you control as an attack target and the Rank of your Xyz Monster is higher than your opponent's monster. Negate the attack, then end the Battle Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Another example where Negate Attack is the superior card as this card requires two Xyz Monsters to battle with yours being higher to get anything out of this.
Stealth Strike
Anime Normal Spell
Select 1 face-up Xyz Monster you control. It can attack your opponent directly this turn, but its ATK is halved until the End Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It works on any Xyz Monster but that monster will be weaker after the attack, even if it's unsuccessful. At least it won't have its ATK halved for very long.
Overlay Wedge
Anime Counter Trap
Activate only when an effect of an Xyz Monster on the field is activated by detaching its own Xyz Material(s). Negate that effect. Xyz Monsters on the field cannot activate their effects by detaching their own Xyz Material(s) for the rest of this turn, except the Xyz Monster(s) on the field with the highest Rank.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It's much easier to activate than the card below but unless your Xyz Monster has the highest Rank on the field, the 2nd effect locks you out too.
Disaster Conspiracy
Anime Normal Trap
Activate only if a monster you control that your opponent owns is destroyed by battle with an opponent's monster, and you take 1000 or more battle damage from that battle. Send all monsters that have more ATK than the destroyed monster from your opponent's Deck to the Graveyard.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: In today's metagame, the odds of seeing a card that gains control of an opponent's monster is pretty rare, especially since cards like Brain Control have been errata'd. Even if you do get that bit, you have to take at least 1000 or more battle damage too so you're really losing more than you're gaining.
