| CORE-EN099 | |
| Card Type | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Secret Blast Normal Trap Inflict 300 damage to your opponent for each card they control. If this card you control is destroyed by an opponent's card and sent to your Graveyard: Inflict 1000 damage to your opponent. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | By the time you draw this card and activate it, your opponent probably won't have much out and the most damage you'll likely deal with this card is with its bonus effect but that's only if your opponent destroys it. |
| CORE-EN098 | |
| Card Type | Synchro Monster |
| Card Info | Tatsunoko WATER / Wyrm-Type Synchro-Type Tuner / Level 3 / ATK 1700 / DEF 500 1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters If this Synchro Summoned monster would be used as a Synchro Material, 1 monster in your hand can be used as 1 of the other Synchro Materials. Unaffected by other monsters' effects. SECRET RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Its stats are poor but in the very least it's a Tuner and does allow you to use a monster in your hand as Synchro Material if it becomes Synchro Material after being Synchro Summoned but even that doesn't give it much use or a high rating. |
| CORE-EN097 | |
| Card Info | Mandragon EARTH / Plant-Type Pendulum / Level 5 / ATK 2500 / DEF 1000 / Scale 2 No Pendulum Text This mandragora harbors the soul of a sorrowful dragon. The cursed tones of its wailing cause both fear and despair. RARE |
| Rating: | 4 |
| Comments: | A beatstick that has multiple search options and no side-effects. |
| CORE-EN096 | |
| Card Info | Dragong EARTH / Machine-Type Pendulum / Level 4 / ATK 500 / DEF 2100 / Scale 7 No Pendulum Text This gong harbors the soul of an untamed dragon. It soars though the skies with an incredible roar, marshaling all those who hear this call to battle. RARE |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | It's not strong enough to attack with but strong enough to defend and with no side-effects to offset its high scale, you're free to do with it what you will. |
| CORE-EN095 | |
| Card Type | Synchro Monster |
| Card Info | Hi-Speedroid Kendama WIND / Machine-Type Synchro / Level 6 / ATK 2200 / DEF 1600 1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent. You can only use each of the following effects of "Hi-Speedroid Kendama" once per turn. ● You can banish 1 Machine-Type monster from your Graveyard; inflict 500 damage to your opponent. ● If this card is in your Graveyard and you control no cards: You can Special Summon this card. You cannot Normal Summon/Set the turn you activate this effect. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Generic Synchro Materials but while it also can inflict piercing Battle Damage, neither of its bulleted effects are all that good, especially since they can only be used once per turn and the 2nd effe3ct prevents you from Normal Summoning/Setting that turn. |
| CORE-EN094 | |
| Card Type | Synchro Monster |
| Card Info | Superheavy Samurai Ogre Shutendoji EARTH / Machine-Type Synchro / Level 6 / ATK 500 / DEF 2500 1 Machine-Type Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner "Superheavy Samurai" monsters This card can attack while in face-up Defense Position. If it does, apply its DEF for damage calculation. When this card is Synchro Summoned, while you have no Spell/Trap Cards in your Graveyard: You can destroy all Spell and Trap Cards your opponent controls. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | While its ATK and DEF are weaker than the more easily playable Big Benkei, it's still able to attack while in Defense Position and apply its DEF as its ATK, which in itself is already good and it can help clear the way for Big Benkei |
| CORE-EN093 | |
| Card Type | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Performapal Salutiger EARTH / Beast / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 500 When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard: You can add 1 "Performapal" Pendulum Monster from your Deck to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Performapal Salutiger" once per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Luckily Performapal Pendulum Monsters exist, even in this very set but that still limits your options as they aren't all that good and this guy still has to defeat a monster and send it to the Graveyard first, which isn't easy when you have only 1700 ATK and 500 DEF. |
| CORE-EN092 | |
| Card Type | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Absorb Fusion Normal Spell Add 1 "Gem-Knight" card from your Deck to your hand, then you can apply this effect. ● Fusion Summon 1 "Gem-Knight" Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, by banishing Fusion Materials listed on it from your hand or your side of the field. You can only activate 1 "Absorb Fusion" per turn. You cannot Special Summon monsters the turn you activate this card, except "Gem-Knight" monsters. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | You get any Gem-Knight card you want from your Deck but while you then get to Fusion Summon a Gem-Knight Fusion Monster, it's little more than a Miracle Fusion copy and you can only Special Summon Gem-Knights the turn it's activated. |
| CORE-EN091 | |
| Card Type | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Escher the Frost Vassal WATER / Aqua / Level 4 / ATK 800 / DEF 1000 If your opponent controls 2 or more cards in their Spell & Trap Zone, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It's pretty weak but you could play up to three copies in a single turn because all it cares about is that your opponent has 2 or more cards in their Spell and Trap Card Zones, though unless you use them for something, it's pretty well just a bad stall tactic. |
| CORE-EN090 | |
| Card Info | Performapal Silver Claw DARK / Beast-Type Pendulum / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 700 / Scale 5 All "Performapal" monsters you control gain 300 ATK. If this card declares an attack: All "Performapal" monsters you currently control gain 300 ATK until the end of the Battle Phase. COMMON |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | Its scale isn't low enough to be as useful as some of the others but at least it has an ATK and Level that are decent to use on its own and includes itself with its Pendulum Text. |
| CORE-EN089 | |
| Card Type | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Kyoutou Waterfront Field Spell Each time a card(s) is sent from the field to the Graveyard, place 1 Kaiju Counter on this card for each sent card (max. 5). Once per turn, while 3 or more Kaiju Counters are on this card: You can add 1 "Kaiju" monster from your Deck to your hand. If this card would be destroyed, you can remove 1 Kaiju Counter from this card instead. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It's the only card currently that provides Kaiju Counters so you can use the other Kaiju monsters' effects and has protection with Field Barrier but will need more than this to make Kaiju monsters worthwhile. |
| CORE-EN088 | |
| Card Type | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Kumongous, the Sticky String Kaiju EARTH / Insect / Level 7 / ATK 2400 / DEF 2500 You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) to your opponent's side of the field in Attack Position, by Tributing 1 monster they control. If your opponent controls a "Kaiju" monster, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand) in Attack Position. You can only control 1 "Kaiju" monster. When your opponent Normal or Special Summons a monster(s): You can remove 2 Kaiju Counters from anywhere on the field; until the end of the next turn, that monster(s) cannot attack and its effects are negated. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Like Dogoran, this guy has a multitude of ways it can be Summoned but prevents you from controlling more than one Kaiju monster. The other effect and this guy's stats also aren't great. |
| CORE-EN087 | |
| Card Type | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Dogoran, the Mad Flame Kaiju FIRE / Dinosaur / Level 8 / ATK 3000 / DEF 1200 You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) to your opponent's side of the field in Attack Position, by Tributing 1 monster they control. If your opponent controls a "Kaiju" monster, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand) in Attack Position. You can only control 1 "Kaiju" monster. Once per turn: You can remove 3 Kaiju Counters from anywhere on the field; destroy all monsters your opponent controls. This card cannot attack the turn you activate this effect. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | You probably won't want to Special Summon such a powerful monster to your opponent's field as it really has no drawbacks unlike Lava Golem, though you can still Normal or Special Summon it to your own field and clear out your opponent's monsters but you can only control 1 Kaiju monster and using this effect prevents it from attacking that turn. |
| CORE-EN086 | |
| Card Type | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Kozmotown Field Spell Once per turn: You can target 1 of your banished "Kozmo" monsters; return it to the hand, and if you do, lose LP equal to its original Level x 100. Once per turn: You can reveal any number of "Kozmo" monsters in your hand and shuffle them into the Deck, then draw cards equal to the number of cards you shuffled into the Deck. If this card in the Field Zone is destroyed by a card effect: You can add 1 "Kozmo" card from your Deck to your hand. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | If Kozmo gets better support, this won't be all that bad but for now, the best you can do with it is shuffle Kozmo monsters into the Deck and draw cards. |
| CORE-EN085 | |
| Card Type | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Kozmo Forerunner LIGHT / Machine / Level 7 / ATK 2800 / DEF 1400 Cannot be targeted by an opponent's card effects. During your Standby Phase: Gain 1000 LP. If this card is destroyed by battle or card effect and sent to the Graveyard: You can banish this card from your Graveyard; Special Summon 1 Level 6 or lower "Kozmo" monster from your Deck. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | The strongest and least vulnerable of the Kozmo monsters so far and you can get some extra LP each turn but you don't have many options for using its last effect, which also requires you to banish itself from your Graveyard. |
| CORE-EN084 | |
| Card Type | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Kozmo Sliprider LIGHT / Machine / Level 5 / ATK 2300 / DEF 800 If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can target 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field; destroy it. If this card is destroyed by battle or card effect and sent to the Graveyard: You can banish this card from your Graveyard; Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Kozmo" monster from your Deck. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | So far, the Kozmo archetype hasn't presented much good and this guy doesn't really add to that but the archetype is still young. |
| CORE-EN083 | |
| Card Type | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Kozmo Goodwitch LIGHT / Psychic / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1000 During either player's turn: You can banish this card; Special Summon 1 Level 5 or higher "Kozmo" monster from your hand. You can only use this effect of "Kozmo Goodwitch" once per turn. Once per turn: You can pay 500 LP, then target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; change it to face-down Defense Position. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | Good is the right word for this card as you have plenty of options to use it for without any side-effects. |
| CORE-EN082 | |
| Card Type | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Kozmo Farmgirl LIGHT / Psychic / Level 3 / ATK 1500 / DEF 1000 During either player's turn: You can banish this card; Special Summon 1 Level 4 or higher "Kozmo" monster from your hand. You can only use this effect of "Kozmo Farmgirl" once per turn. When this card inflicts battle damage to your opponent: You can pay 500 LP; add 1 "Kozmo" card from your Deck to your hand. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | You'll have to banish it from the field since it doesn't state anywhere else it can be banished and thus do get access to any high-level Kozmo monster but so far only 2 exist and she's too feeble to trigger her other effect on her own, which costs 500 LP, so her rarity isn't yet justified. |
| CORE-EN081 | |
| Card Type | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Extinction on Schedule Normal Trap During the Main Phase: Pay 2000 LP; make both players send all cards they control to the Graveyard at the end of the 3rd Battle Phase after this card's activation. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | You're mostly hurting yourself because you're down 2000 LP before any of its effects take hold and by the time they do, you may have more cards out than your opponent but even if not, you're still losing more than your opponent. |
| CORE-EN080 | |
| Card Type | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Side Effects? Normal Trap Your opponent draws 1 to 3 cards, then you gain 2000 LP for each card they drew with this effect. SHORT PRINT COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | You could get some use out of this in a LP Gain Deck but it'd be best to use this during your turn as your opponent will otherwise have additional options they can use right away. |
| CORE-EN079 | |
| Card Type | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Extra Buck Continuous Trap Each time a card(s) is added to your Extra Deck, place 1 Spell Counter on this card (max. 3). You can send this card with 3 Spell Counters to the Graveyard; draw 2 cards. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Since it gets Spell Counters, you might get some use out of this with cards that put Spell Counters on them like Pitch-Black Power Stone but even then, it won't speed things up much. |
| CORE-EN078 | |
| Card Type | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Balance of Judgment Normal Trap If your opponent controls more cards than the combined number of cards in your hand and that you control: Draw cards equal to their surplus. You can only activate 1 "Balance of Judgment" per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | You might get to draw a few cards but most likely you won't get more than one or two because unless you're like me and set multiple cards to deal with your possible scenarios, you won't get much out of this. |
| CORE-EN077 | |
| Card Type | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Ferret Flames Normal Trap If the combined ATK of all face-up monsters your opponent controls is higher than your LP: Make your opponent shuffle monsters they control into the Deck (their choice), so that the combined ATK of the remaining monsters they control becomes less than or equal to your LP. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Activating this probably means you're going to lose the Duel but since your opponent chooses what monsters they shuffle into the Deck and still gets to keep monsters whose ATK combined is equal to or less than your LP, this is another waste of Deck space. |
| CORE-EN076 | |
| Card Type | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Storming Mirror Force Normal Trap When an opponent's monster declares an attack: Return all face-up Attack Position monsters your opponent controls to the hand. SECRET RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Nothing more than a mediocre stall card because you're not banishing the threats, you're returning them to the hand, which unless those monsters can't be Summoned right away, which most can, it's basically wasted effort. |
| CORE-EN075 | |
| Card Type | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Dried Winds Continuous Trap If you gain LP: Target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; destroy it. If you control an "Aroma" monster and your LP is at least 3000 higher than your opponent's: You can pay LP equal to the difference; destroy face-up monsters your opponent controls whose combined ATK is less than or equal to the LP you paid to activate this effect. You can only use each effect of "Dried Winds" once per turn. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | A bit better than Humid winds since LP Gain Decks like mine can make some use out of it but other than that, it's not really worth using. |
| CORE-EN074 | |
| Card Type | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Humid Winds Continuous Trap You can pay 1000 LP; add 1 "Aroma" monster from your Deck to your hand. If your LP is lower than your opponent's: You can gain 500 LP. You can only use each effect of "Humid Winds" once per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | In California, these are the Santa Ana winds that aid in forest fires. In the TCG, this means you've gotten a bad draw. |
| CORE-EN073 | |
| Card Type | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Igknight Burst Continuous Trap Once per turn, during your Main Phase: You can destroy up to 3 other "Igknight" cards you control, then return an equal number of cards your opponent controls to the hand. If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can add 1 face-up "Igknight" Pendulum Monster from your Extra Deck to your hand. RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | To do anything with it, you need to control 2 Igknight cards, which'll generally be itself and 2 Pendulum Monsters and for what? All you get in return is temporarily removing threats off the field and the other effect isn't very good either. |
| CORE-EN072 | |
| Card Type | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Return of the Red-Eyes Continuous Trap If you control a "Red-Eyes" monster, except "Red-Eyes B. Chick": You can target 1 Normal Monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it. If this card in your possession is destroyed by an opponent's card effect and sent to your Graveyard: You can target 1 "Red-Eyes" monster in your Graveyard, except "Red-Eyes B. Chick"; Special Summon it. You can only use each effect of "Return of the Red-Eyes" once per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | You need a Red-Eyes monster to even activate this but it doesn't matter what Red-Eyes monster it is so even Darkness Metal or Black Flare Dragon suffice but it's best to use it for its other effect. |
| CORE-EN071 | |
| Card Type | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Trick Box Normal Trap If a face-up "Performage" monster(s) you control is destroyed by battle or card effect and sent to the Graveyard: Target 1 monster your opponent controls; take control of it until the End Phase, then Special Summon 1 "Performage" monster from your Graveyard to your opponent's side of the field. During the End Phase of this turn, give control of the monster Special Summoned by this effect to its owner. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | You first have to lose a Performage monster you own and while you get an opponent's monster, you end up temporarily giving your opponent one of your fallen Performage monsters, making your opponent get a free monster while you lost and gained one. |
| CORE-EN070 | |
| Card Type | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Raptor's Gust Counter Trap When a Spell/Trap Card is activated while you control a "Raidraptor" card: Negate that activation, and if you do, destroy that card. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | This is probably another key component in a Raidraptor Deck because all it needs is for you to control one to negate any Spell/Trap Card. |
| CORE-EN069 | |
| Card Type | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Raidraptor - Return Normal Trap If a "Raidraptor" monster you control is destroyed by battle: Target 1 "Raidraptor" monster in your Graveyard; add it to your hand. If a face-up "Raidraptor" monster(s) you control is destroyed by card effect: You can banish this card from your Graveyard; add 1 "Raidraptor" card from your Deck to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Raidraptor - Return" once per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | You get two options for using this and each one depends on how your Raidraptor monster was destroyed but neither of them will help you if you're out of monsters on the field. |
| CORE-EN068 | |
| Card Type | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Brilliant Spark Normal Trap If a face-up "Gem-Knight" monster(s) you control is destroyed by your opponent's attack or card effect: Target 1 of those destroyed monsters; inflict damage to your opponent equal to its original ATK. If this card is in your Graveyard: You can send 1 "Gem-Knight" card from your hand to the Graveyard; add this card to your hand. You can only activate 1 "Brilliant Spark" per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | The Gem-Knight monster just has to be destroyed and you make your opponent pay with their LP but while you can also get this card back, it costs you a Gem-Knight card. |
| CORE-EN067 | |
| Card Type | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Chicken Game Field Spell The player with the lowest LP takes no damage. Once per turn, during the Main Phase: The turn player can pay 1000 LP, then activate 1 of these effects; ● Draw 1 card. ● Destroy this card. ● Your opponent gains 1000 LP. Neither player can activate cards or effects in response to this effect's activation. SHORT PRINT COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | No reason this card should be short print or be used because its effects are terrible. |
| CORE-EN066 | |
| Card Type | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Wavering Eyes Quick-Play Spell Destroy as many cards in each player's Pendulum Zones as possible, then apply these effects, in sequence, depending on the number of cards destroyed by this effect. ● 1 or more: Inflict 500 damage to your opponent. ● 2 or more: You can add 1 Pendulum Monster from your Main Deck to your hand. ● 3 or more: You can banish 1 card on the field. ● 4: You can add 1 "Wavering Eyes" from your Deck to your hand. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | A Quick-Play Spell that gets better the more Pendulum Monsters you destroy in the Pendulum Zones but regardless, it's not all that great. |
| CORE-EN065 | |
| Card Type | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Mistaken Arrest Quick-Play Spell Until the end of your next turn after this card resolves, neither player can add cards from their Deck to their hand except by drawing them. SECRET RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It may be an okay alternative if you haven't drawn or don't own Thunder King Rai-Oh but Rai-Oh will always be the better card because it's also a beatstick and an Honest target. |
| CORE-EN064 | |
| Card Type | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Back-Up Rider Normal Spell Target 1 face-up monster on the field; it gains 1500 ATK until the end of this turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | A better version of Rising Energy as you don't have to wait or pay a cost to activate it but the boost doesn't last long. |
| CORE-EN063 | |
| Card Type | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Void Imagination Continuous Spell "Infernoid" monsters you control whose original Levels are 2 or higher become Level 1 and all battle damage they inflict to your opponent is halved. You can send this card to the Graveyard; Fusion Summon 1 "Infernoid" Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or your side of the field as Fusion Materials. If your opponent controls a monster that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, and you do not, you can also use up to 6 monsters in your Deck as Fusion Materials. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Infernoids are also bad as a whole and not even their Level 11 Fusion Monster is all that great and that's much of the point in using this card whereas the other points are even worse because any affected Infernoids don't deal full battle damage. |
| CORE-EN062 | |
| Card Type | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Aroma Garden Field Spell Once per turn, if you control an "Aroma" monster: You can gain 500 LP, also all monsters you control gain 500 ATK and DEF until the end of your opponent's next turn (even if this card leaves the field). If a face-up "Aroma" monster you control is destroyed by battle or card effect and sent to the Graveyard: Gain 1000 LP. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Aroma monsters are pretty bad as a whole and even if they weren't, this card's best offer is 1000 LP when one of your Aroma monsters is destroyed. |
| CORE-EN061 | |
| Card Type | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Ignition Phoenix Field Spell All "Igknight" monsters on the field gain 300 ATK and DEF. Once per turn: You can target 1 "Igknight" card you control; destroy it, and if you do, add 1 "Igknight" card from your Deck to your hand. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Whether you're running it for the lousy ATK and DEF boost or the ability to destroy your own card only to add another of the same type to your hand, this is a terrible card to use. |
| CORE-EN060 | |
| Card Type | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Cards of the Red Stone Normal Spell Send 1 Level 7 "Red-Eyes" monster from your hand to the Graveyard; draw 2 cards, then you can send 1 Level 7 "Red-Eyes" monster from your Deck to the Graveyard. You can only activate 1 "Cards of the Red Stone" per turn. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | You'll end up with up to 2 Red-Eyes monsters in your Graveyard and 2 extra cards in your hand but I don't think that warrants making this card Ultra Rare. |
| CORE-EN059 | |
| Card Type | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Red-Eyes Fusion Normal Spell Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster that lists a "Red-Eyes" monster as Material from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand, Deck, or your side of the field as Fusion Materials, and if you do, its name becomes "Red-Eyes B. Dragon". You cannot Normal or Special Summon other monsters the turn you activate this card. You can only activate 1 "Red-Eyes Fusion" per turn. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | A quicker variant of Future Fusion as it can not only use Fusion Materials from the usual places but also from the Deck and treats the new monster as Red-Eyes B. Dragon, which also opens up other combos like with Inferno Fire Blast! |
| CORE-EN058 | |
| Card Type | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Bubble Barrier Continuous Spell Each "Performapal" and "Performage" monster you control cannot be destroyed by battle or card effect once per turn. You take no battle damage from attacks involving "Performapal" and "Performage" monsters you control. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Might be worthwhile with Performapals/Performages but neither archetype really has much going for them so this might not be enough. |
| CORE-EN057 | |
| Card Type | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Rank-Up-Magic Raptor's Force Quick-Play Spell If a "Raidraptor" Xyz Monster was destroyed and sent to the Graveyard this turn while you controlled it: Target 1 "Raidraptor" Xyz Monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it, then Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 "Raidraptor" monster that is 1 Rank higher than that monster, using it as the Xyz Material. (This Special Summon is treated as an Xyz Summon.) COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | This seems like a worthwhile candidate in Raidraptors because it Xyz Summons using an Xyz Monster basically from your Graveyard but that's all it does and said Xyz Monster must be destroyed and sent to the Graveyard while you control it. |
| CORE-EN056 | |
| Card Type | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Brilliant Fusion Continuous Spell When this card is activated: Fusion Summon 1 "Gem-Knight" Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your Deck as Fusion Materials, but change its ATK and DEF to 0. If this card leaves the field, destroy that monster. Once per turn: You can discard 1 Spell Card; the monster Special Summoned by this card's effect gains ATK and DEF equal to its original ATK and DEF, until the end of your opponent's turn. You can only activate 1 "Brilliant Fusion" per turn. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | It doesn't do any good to Fusion Summon using your Deck's resources only to have your new monster have 0 ATK and DEF, even if its for Xyz Summoning and while you can restore its ATK and DEF, that's only by discarding a Spell Card and only for a short time. |
| CORE-EN055 | |
| Card Type | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Pianissimo Quick-Play Spell Target 1 face-up monster you control; this turn, that face-up monster's original ATK becomes 100, also that face-up monster cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | A card that can't be destroyed is not worth reducing its ATK to 100. |
| CORE-EN054** | |
| Card Type | Xyz Monster |
| Card Info | Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon DARK / Dragon-Type Xyz / Rank 7 / ATK 2800 / DEF 2400 2 Level 7 monsters Cannot be destroyed by card effects while it has Xyz Material. While this card has Xyz Material, each time your opponent activates a card or effect, inflict 500 damage to your opponent immediately after it resolves. Once per turn, during either player’s turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 "Red-Eyes" Normal Monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it. SECRET RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | There aren't many good Red-Eyes Normal Monsters as the regular version is too weak to be any good and the other is an actually decent Gemini monster but at least they can help prevent this card's destruction from card effects, though that won't last long. |
| CORE-EN053 | |

Once per turn, during either player's Main Phase 1: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 face-up Attack Position monster the turn player controls (other than this card); it can make a second attack during each Battle Phase this turn, also destroy it at the end of the Battle Phase. If this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, or if this card in your possession is destroyed by an opponent's card effect and sent to your Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 "Performage" monster from your Deck.

| Comments: | It reduces any damage you take that is less than or equal to its ATK and can let a monster attack twice, even an opponent's monster, but destroys it and that's good and bad at the same time. The other effect isn't all that great either. |

(Xyz Materials attached to that monster also become Xyz Materials on this card.) Once per turn, during either player's turn, if you took any effect damage this turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 face-up monster on the field; it loses 1000 ATK and DEF, and if it does, inflict 1000 damage to your opponent. If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard: You can send 1 "D/D" or "Dark Contract" card from your Deck to the Graveyard. RARE |

| Comments: | Konami totally threw a curve ball by making an Xyz Pendulum monster and a very difficult one to Summon at that because you first have to get it on the field as a Monster Card, then use its effect to move it to the Pendulum Zone but personally, I don't see much of a point when it's going to be harder to do that each time it's destroyed and to get the most out of it, you'll need an Xyz Monster as its Xyz Material (via Rank-Up Magic Card). |

| Comments: | It's a bit specific with its Fusion Materials but once it's on the field, it's quite a powerhouse as it prevents your opponent from activating cards or effects when it battles and since you'll likely have a Red-Eyes Normal Monster in your Graveyard when you bring this guy out, you'll easily inflict extra damage to your opponent and it'll be returned to the Deck to be played again. |

| Comments: | Its "retaliation" is futile because it has weak stats and only retaliates against sending cards to the Graveyard, a feat already achieved by Banisher of the Radiance, which is also an Honest target and has higher ATK.

| Comments: | It can help you out a little bit by stopping Effect Damage or Battle Damage but banishing itself from your Graveyard doesn't permit you to get another copy. |

| Comments: | I probably won't get to see how these guys play out since there aren't any Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments close enough to me anymore but this doesn't seem all that bad, apart from the name. |

| Card Info | Crystal Rose LIGHT / Rock / Level 2 / ATK 500 / DEF 500 Once per turn: You can send 1 "Gem-Knight" or "Melodious" monster from your hand or Deck to the Graveyard, and if you do, this card's name becomes the sent monster's name, until the End Phase. If this card is in your Graveyard: You can banish 1 Fusion Monster from your Graveyard; Special Summon this card in Defense Position. You can only use this effect of "Crystal Rose" once per turn. RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Special Summoning it by its effect is bad enough but wasting resources to have it copy a Melodious or Gem-Knight monster's name is equally bad because if it's in your hand, you might as well just play it over this and if it's in your Deck, that's one less monster you can draw. Besides, I'm sure most monsters in either catagory have higher ATK and/or DEF than this. |

| Card Info | D/D Pandora DARK / Fiend / Level 5 / ATK 1700 / DEF 2100 When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, or when this card in your possession is destroyed by an opponent's card effect and sent to your Graveyard, and you control no cards: You can draw 2 cards. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | The alleged Pandora's Box is probably more of a threat than this because this card needs your field to be empty when it's destroyed! |

| Card Info | Fluffal Mouse EARTH / Fairy / Level 1 / ATK 100 / DEF 100 During your Main Phase: You can Special Summon up to 2 copies of "Fluffal Mouse" from your Deck. This effect can only be used once while this card is face-up on the field. You cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck the turn you activate this effect, except "Frightfur" monsters. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Its effect can be used any time during your Main Phase and you could then bring out one of the Wicked or Egyptian God Cards but you're relying heavily on the effect working because you'll likely have it in Attack Position when the effect is used and are basically restrained to Tributing them that turn, which makes it quite vulnerable, especially with those weak stats. |

| Card Type | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Tamtam the Melodious Diva LIGHT / Fairy / Level 4 / ATK 1000 / DEF 2000 If this card is Special Summoned while you control a "Melodious" monster: You can add 1 "Polymerization" from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand. If this card is sent to the Graveyard as a Fusion Material for a Fusion Summon: You can target 1 "Melodious" monster you control; it loses 500 ATK, and if it does, inflict 500 damage to your opponent. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It won't be able to do much unless you Special Summon it with one of its friends or use it as Fusion Material but even the 2nd effect is better activated with Opera. |

| Card Info | Opera the Melodious Diva LIGHT / Fairy / Level 4 / ATK 2300 / DEF 1000 This card cannot attack the turn it is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up. If this card is sent to the Graveyard as a Fusion Material for a Fusion Summon: You can activate this effect; for the rest of this turn, "Melodious" monsters you control cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects. COMMON |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | Much like Tardy Orc, you can either Normal/Flip Summon her during the first turn or Special Summon her to avoid the summoning sickness but unlike TO, this card is also an Honest and Photon Lead target, making it much easier to avoid the summoning sickness! |

Once per turn, when an opponent’s monster declares an attack: You can change the attack target to this card and perform damage calculation. Cannot be destroyed by battle. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | You're better off having this guy on the field than discarding it, especially since you need to have no Spell/Trap Cards in your Graveyard but at least this guy can't be destroyed in battle, making it viable for other Decks. |

COMMON |

| Comments: | Though generally the side-effects are in the card's effects, they can also be in its Level and stats like this guy's but this guy has side effects just about all around, making it only good for Pendulum Summoning. |

| Card Info | Performapal Camelump EARTH / Beast-Type Pendulum / Level 3 / ATK 800 / DEF 1800 / Scale 2 Once per turn, during your Main Phase 1: You can target 1 face-up monster you control; the monsters your opponent currently controls lose 800 DEF until the end of this turn, and if they do, if the targeted monster attacks a Defense Position monster this turn, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent. (These effects remain even if this card leaves the field.) If this card is destroyed by battle: You can make the monster that destroyed this card lose 800 ATK. COMMON |

| Comments: | Low scales are always a plus if they're not followed by any side-effects and this card has that and doesn't restrain itself to Performapals! |

| Card Info | Xiangsheng Magician LIGHT / Spellcaster-Type Pendulum / Level 4 / ATK 500 / DEF 1500 / Scale 8 Once per turn: You can target 1 face-up Xyz Monster you control, and 1 Level 5 or higher monster you control; that Xyz Monster's Rank becomes equal to the Level of that Level 5 or higher monster, until the end of this turn (even if this card leaves the field). While you control more cards than your opponent does, this card's Pendulum Scale becomes 4. Your opponent takes no battle damage from attacks involving this card. Once per turn: You can target 1 other face-up monster you control; this card's ATK becomes equal to that monster's current ATK, until the end of this turn. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | A highly searchable high scale Pendulum that is also an Honest target but each of its "modes" have a downside that while not terrible, they are off-putting enough for me to lower its rating by one star. |

| Card Info | Xiangke Magician DARK / Spellcaster-Type Pendulum / Level 7 / ATK 2500 / DEF 500 / Scale 3 Once per turn: You can target 1 face-up Xyz Monster you control; this turn, you can use it as an Xyz Material for an Xyz Summon using its Rank as if it were a Level (even if this card leaves the field). Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can target 1 LIGHT monster on the field; negate that face-up monster's effects until the end of this turn. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | Pendulums don't see much play except in the obvious themed decks like Yang Zing so you're bound to see some Xyz Monster that you can then use for an Xyz Summon without having to Rank-Up but of course, you'll need another monster with a Level to actually Xyz Summon. The Monster Text isn't that bad either. |

| Card Info | Risebell the Summoner WIND / Psychic-Type Pendulum / Level 3 / ATK 800 / DEF 800 / Scale 2 Once per turn: You can target 1 face-up monster on the field; increase its Level by 1 (even if this card leaves the field). A kindly elder brother, Risebell takes good care of his little sister Saambell. He reads a Magical Book with his sister each early-afternoon, a harmonious routine that brings a smile to everyone. SHORT PRINT COMMON |

| Comments: | Regardless of how he expects to take care of his sister while being only marginally stronger than she is, his low scale provides easy Pendulum Summoning and low stats are also searchable! |

| Comments: | Having even 100 DEF makes the difference between this guy getting 4 stars and 3 for its rating but as a Level 4 monster with 2000 ATK, it's still good enough to use! |

| Card Info | Sky Dragoons of Draconia WIND / Winged Beast-Type Pendulum / Level 5 / ATK 2200 / DEF 200 / Scale 7 Once per turn, when a Normal Monster you control inflicts battle damage to your opponent: You can target 1 card on the field; destroy it. Rumored as being formed to invade the neutral, floating Sky-State of Cxulub, these mounted air troops of the Draconia Empire have prompted bordering nations to strengthen their security. RARE |

| Comments: | Konami sure likes these Vanilla Pendulum Dragoons monsters and each of them supports a Monster Card type that kinda needs it and there are some good ones out there, not to mention this guy has a pretty high scale with no drawback! |
