ANPR-EN099
Card Type: Fusion Monster
Card Info Elemental Hero Gaia
EARTH / Warrior-Type Fusion / Level 6 / ATK 2200 / DEF 2600
1 "Elemental Hero" monster + 1 EARTH Monster
This monster cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon. When this card is Fusion Summoned, select 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. Until the end of this turn, that monster's ATK is halved and this card gains the same amount of ATK.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: For a SCR, his effect REALLY hurts his playability. He must be Fusion Summoned, his ATK-halving effect lasts until the End Phase and can only be used once where as BW Gale can do it each turn and is more obtainable.
ANPR-EN098
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Kasha
EARTH / Zombie / Level 8 / ATK ? / DEF 1000
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except while you control 2 or more face-up Zombie-Type monsters. When this card is Special Summoned, return all other monsters on the field to the Deck, and this card's ATK is equal to the number of Zombie-Type monster returned this way x 1000.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: He doesn't require any tributes and only 2 Zombies on the field to be Special Summoned! Too bad the ruling on him keeps all monsters turned into Zombies from not being added to his ATK.
ANPR-EN097
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Beast Machine King Barbaros Ür
EARTH / Beast-Warrior / Level 8 / ATK 3800 / DEF 1200
You can Special Summon this card from your hand by removing from play 1 Machine-Type monster and 1 Beast-Warrior-Type monster in your hand, field, and/or Graveyard. When this card battles, any Battle Damage to your opponent becomes 0.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: You can at least Special Summon him but for what his effect is worth, the card as a whole is only worth 2/5 from me.
ANPR-EN096
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Gaap the Divine Soldier
DARK / Fiend / Level 6 / ATK 2200 / DEF 2000
All monsters are changed to face-up Attack Position and their battle positions cannot be changed (Flip Effects are not activated at this time). Once per turn, you can reveal any number of Fiend-Type monsters in your hand to give this card 300 ATK for each revealed card, until the End Phase.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: A "divine soldier" that is a Fiend? What's so divine about that, Konami? The so-called "divine solder" can't take down even Goblin Attack Force.
ANPR-EN095
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Sauropod Brachion
EARTH / Dinosaur / Level 8 / ATK 1500 / DEF 3000
You cannot Special Summon this card from your Deck. You can Tribute Summon this card by Tributing 1 Dinosaur-Type monster. Once per turn, you can change this card to face-down Defense Position. When this card is Flip Summoned, change all other monsters to face-down Defense Position. If your opponent attacks this card, any Battle Damage they take is doubled.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: He's better off in a Dinosaur deck since you can bring him out with one tribute by tributing a Dinosaur. Along with his other effect, his 3000 DEF gives him the extra star.
ANPR-EN094*
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Gaia Plate the Earth Giant
EARTH / Rock / Level 8 / ATK 2800 / DEF 1000
You can Special Summon this card by removing from play any 2 Rock-Type monsters in your Graveyard. During your Standby Phase, remove from play 1 Rock-Type monster in your Graveyard, or send this card to the Graveyard. Halve the ATK and DEF of any monster that battles with this card.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: This card is best suited in a Rock deck for obvious reasons. Since he can be Special Summoned by other means afterwards and halves the ATK and DEF of his attack targets, he gets an extra star.
ANPR-EN093
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Card Blocker
EARTH / Warrior / Level 3 / ATK 400 / DEF 400
When this card is Summoned, it is changed to Defense Position. When a face-up monster you control is selected as an attack target, you can change the target to this card. When this card is selected as an attack target, you can send up to 3 cards from the top of your Deck to the Graveyard, to give this card 500 DEF for each of those cards, until the End Phase.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Even with his effect, he won't stand a chance against most of the monsters out there and is clearly not worth being a SCR.
ANPR-EN092
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info White Night Dragon
WATER / Dragon / Level 8 / ATK 3000 / DEF 2500
Negate the activation of any Spell or Trap Card that targets this card, and destroy that card. When a face-up monster you control is selected as an attack target, you can send 1 Spell or Trap Card you control to the Graveyard to change the target to this card.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 4
Comments: Blue-Eyes' evil twin has arrived in the TCG at last and boy does it have some nasty effects! Well worthy of getting 4/5.
ANPR-EN091
Card Type: Fusion Monster
Card Info Armityle the Chaos Phantom
DARK / Fiend-Type Fusion / Level 12 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
"Uria, Lord of Searing Flames" + "Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder" + "Raviel, Lord of Phantasms"
This card can only be Special Summoned from your Extra Deck by removing from play the above cards you control. (You do not use "Polymerization".) This card cannot be destroyed by battle. This card gains 10,000 ATK during your turn only.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: If he kept the 10,000 ATK during all turns, he would've been more worth the SCR, the heavy summoning requirements and the extra star but he doesn't.
ANPR-EN090
Card Type: Fusion Monster
Card Info Arcana Knight Joker
LIGHT / Warrior-Type Fusion / Level 9 / ATK 3800 / DEF 2500
"Queen's Knight" + "Jack's Knight" + "King's Knight"
A Fusion Summon of this card can only be conducted with the above Fusion Material Monsters. Once per turn, if this face-up card on the field is targeted by a Spell Card, Trap Card, or Effect Monster's effect, you can negate that effect by discarding the same kind of card (Spell, Trap, or Monster Card).
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: A strong Fusion Monster but his effect can only work once per turn.
ANPR-EN089
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Revival of the Immortals
Normal Trap
Select 1 "Earthbound Immortal" monster in your Graveyard. Special Summon that monster. It cannot declare an attack this turn. Whenever it battles, your opponent takes no Battle Damage.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: There's a better card to revive the EIs and that's Call of the Haunted.
ANPR-EN088
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Greed Grado
Quick-Play Spell
Activate only if you destroyed a face-up Synchro Monster controlled by your opponent this turn, either by battle or by a card effect. Draw 2 cards.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 4
Comments: Destroying Synchros isn't hard to do so this card is excellent for rewarding you for destroying your opponent's strongest or a Synchro they have that is giving you trouble!
ANPR-EN087
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Pseudo Space
Field Spell
Once per turn, you can remove from play 1 Field Spell Card in your Graveyard to have this card be treated as that card, and gain the same effects until the End Phase.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: If you don't have anymore copies of the Field Spell, then this might be okay but it only gets the effects until the End Phase. On another note, the card's art is hardly original. It's just an altered Skyscraper artwork.
ANPR-EN086*
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Flamvell Commando
FIRE / Pyro / Level 6 / ATK 2200 / DEF 200
This card cannot be Special Summoned. This card can only be Normal Summoned by Tributing 1 "Flamvell" monster you control. Once per turn, you can remove from play 1 monster in your Graveyard with 200 DEF to inflict damage to your opponent equal to that monster's ATK.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: A FIRE monster with an effect as pitiful as its stats! So far, he's it for his effect that can deal the most damage but even so, he too isn't worth his rarity.
ANPR-EN085
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Card Guard
DARK / Fiend / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 500
When this card is Normal or Special Summoned, place 1 "Guard Counter" on it. This card gains 300 ATK for each Guard Counter it has. Once per turn, you can remove 1 "Guard Counter" from this card and place it on 1 other face-up card you control. If that card would be destroyed, remove the "Guard Counter" instead.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: He really isn't worth being a SCR. Sure he can protect other cards but in most cases, he won't stay out long enough to do much.
ANPR-EN084
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Psychic Emperor
LIGHT / Psychic / Level 6 / ATK 2400 / DEF 1000
When this card is Normal or Special Summoned, gain 500 Life Points for each Psychic-Type monster in your Graveyard.
RARE
Rating: 4
Comments: Basic Monarch monster stats and no drawback! Perfect for LIGHT, Psychic or Beatdown decks!
ANPR-EN083*
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Koa'ki Meiru Gravirose
FIRE / Plant / Level 4 / ATK 1900 / DEF 1300
During each of your End Phases, destroy this card unless you send 1 "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" from your hand to the Graveyard or reveal 1 Plant-Type monster in your hand. During each of your Standby Phases, you can send 1 Level 3 or lower monster from your Deck to your Graveyard.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: He is a 1900 ATK stick but has a dreadful cost just to keep him out, which cuts his rating in half but leaves him with minor playability in Plant decks.
ANPR-EN082*
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Koa'ki Meiru Ghoulungulate
EARTH / Zombie / Level 5 / ATK 2500 / DEF 1700
During each of your End Phases, destroy this card unless you send 1 "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" from your hand to the Graveyard or reveal 1 Zombie-Type monster in your hand. If a "Koa'ki Meiru" monster you control would be destroyed by battle or by a card effect, you can remove from play 1 "Koa'ki Meiru" monster in your Graveyard instead.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: His stats would make him worth 4/5 stars but his cost makes him useless anywhere outside its deck and Zombie Decks yet I recommend using Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon instead since he is clearly the better card.
ANPR-EN081
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info XX-Saber Fuhelmknight
EARTH / Warrior-Type Tuner / Level 3 / ATK 1300 / DEF 1000
Once, while this card is face-up on the field, you can negate the attack of 1 of your opponent's monsters. If this card destroys a Defense Position monster your opponent controls by battle, you can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "X-Saber" monster from your Graveyard.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: He has to destroy a Defense Position monster by battle, which won't be very often with only 1300 ATK and he can only negate 1 attack, unlike Krebons. Yet he is a Tuner so he gets an extra star.
ANPR-EN080
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info A Major Upset
Normal Trap
Tribute 1 face-up Attack Position Level 2 or lower monster you control. Return all face-up Level 7 or higher Special Summoned monsters to the hand.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Its effect is hardly a "major upset" as it doesn't affect monsters lower than 7 or Level 7 monsters that were Normal or Flip-Summoned. Instead, it'll likely be a "humiliating loss" (card's original name) if you use this.
ANPR-EN079
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info At One With the Sword
Normal Trap
Activate while the only monster you control is 1 face-up "X-Saber" monster. Equip this card to that monster. It gains 800 ATK. If it destroys your opponent's monster by battle, draw 1 card.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: The thing is, the monster must destroy it in battle. If it can't, well then it'll be "At one with the wall monster".
ANPR-EN078
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Flamvell Counter
Counter Trap
Remove from play 1 FIRE monster in your Graveyard with 200 DEF. Negate the activation of a Spell or Trap Card, and destroy it.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: At least it has no LP cost but there are very few monsters that fit its requirements.
ANPR-EN077
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Psychic Soul
Normal Trap
Tribute 1 Psychic-Type monster you control. Gain Life Points equal to the Level of the Tributed monster x 300.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: I suppose if you can't pay Krebons' fee to protect him or any of your other Psychic-Type monsters, then you can get some LP back to start protecting Krebons again but you'll have to bear the damage from your opponent first.
ANPR-EN076
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Aegis of the Ocean Dragon Lord
Normal Trap
Until the End Phase of this turn, face-up Level 3 or lower WATER monsters you control cannot be destroyed by battle or by card effects.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Well it certainly combos well with A Legendary Ocean but that's only if you have Level 4 or lower WATER monsters.
ANPR-EN075
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Battle of the Elements
Normal Trap
Activate only while all monsters on the field are face-up. Both players send monsters they control to the Graveyard so that they each control only 1 Attribute.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Okay great, so one type of monster will dominate.....for the turn! The great "Battle of the Elements" will quickly be brought back once this card's effect expires.
ANPR-EN074
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Iron Core Luster
Counter Trap
Reveal 1 "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" in your hand. Negate the activation of your opponent's Spell or Trap Card and destroy it.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: What's ironic is the fact that you have to reveal the very card featured on this card's art, where it looks like it broke up. Well let me tell you, Koa'ki Meiru monsters aren't showing any luster anytime soon.
ANPR-EN073
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Core Reinforcement
Continuous Trap
Select and Special Summon 1 "Koa'ki Meiru" monster from your Graveyard in Attack Position. When that monster is destroyed during your End Phase, the controller of this card takes damage equal to that monster's ATK. When this card is removed from the field, destroy that monster. When that monster is destroyed, destroy this card.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: I could've sworn there was a better card out there without any cost and can Special Summon any monster from your Grave....oh wait there is, Call of the Haunted and that card is better so why not use that instead?
ANPR-EN072
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Battle Teleportation
Normal Trap
Activate if you control only 1 face-up Psychic-Type monster, and select that monster. It can attack your opponent directly this turn. At the end of the Battle Phase, give control of that monster to your opponent.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: If you must use this card, do so with Owner's Seal so you can take it back quickly.
ANPR-EN071
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Damage Translation
Normal Trap
Halve all effect damage you take this turn. During the End Phase this turn, Special Summon 1 "Ghost Token" (Fiend-Type/DARK/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) in Defense Position for each time you took effect damage this turn.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Why even take HALF the Effect Damage? Prime-Material Dragon is certainly the card to use against burn decks so use that instead.
ANPR-EN070
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Depth Amulet
Continuous Trap
When your opponent's monster declares an attack, you can discard 1 card to negate the attack. Destroy this card during your opponent's 3rd End Phase after activation.

Normal Trap
Activate only when your opponent's monster declares an attack targeting a monster. Negate the attack and remove from play the attack target monster until the next Standby Phase.

Face-up Continuous Trap Cards cannot be destroyed, except "Imperial Custom". You can control only 1 face-up "Imperial Custom".

Normal Trap
Destroy all other face-up Spell and Trap Cards on the field. Both players take damage equal to the total number of cards destroyed by this effect x 300.

Field Spell
Once per turn, you can Normal Summon 1 Psychic-Type monster in addition to your Normal Summon or Set. If successful, place 1 Psychic Counter on this card. You can also place 1 Psychic Counter on this card instead of paying Life Points to activate any Psychic-Type monster's effect that you control. When this card is removed from the field, the controller of this card takes 1000 damage for each Psychic Counter on it.

Comments: Maybe Konami needs to see the guys on the art of this card since it clearly wasn't a good idea to make it or people would be running it.
ANPR-EN056
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Water Hazard
Continuous Spell
Once per turn, if you control no monsters, you can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower WATER monster from your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Unlike Call of the Mummy, this card is restricted to Level 4 and under WATER monsters, which has some use with A Legendary Ocean and it still has its uses for you to bring out monsters to Tribute.
ANPR-EN055

Equip Spell
Equip only to a Level 3 or lower WATER monster. If it destroys an opponent's monster by battle, send 1 random card from your opponent's hand to the Graveyard.

Continuous Spell
If you have only 1 original (printed) Type of monster in your Graveyard, face-up monsters you control with the same Type gain 800 ATK.

When a monster is Normal Summoned, remove from play that monster. During the next Standby Phase of the controller who Summoned that monster, return it to the field in face-up Attack Position.

Face-up Zombie-Type monsters you control cannot be destroyed by card effects.
