Code of the Duelist
| COTD-EN099 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Effect Monster | ||||||
| Card Info | Ancient Gear Golem - Ultimate Pound EARTH / Machine / Level 8 / ATK 3000 / DEF 3000 Cannot be Special Summoned. If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage. Up to twice per turn, when this attacking card destroys a monster by battle: You can discard 1 Machine monster; this card can attack again in a row. If this card on the field is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can add 1 "Polymerization" from your Deck to your hand, and if you do, add 1 other "Ancient Gear" monster from your GY to your hand. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 3 | ||||||
| Comments: | I guess Konami didn't like Ancient Gear Golem's dub attack name as much as others and opted for Japan's attack name instead but regardless, unlike the original AGG, this guy can get up to 3 attacks in a single turn provided you can toss out Machine-Type monsters. The last effect isn't that bad either though. | ||||||
| Pendulum Scale 3 | COTD-EN098 | Pendulum Scale 3 | |||||
| Card Type: | Pendulum Monster | ||||||
| Card Info | Speedroid Passinglider WIND / Machine-Type Pendulum / Level 5 / ATK 2200 / DEF 2000 Pendulum Text: Once per turn: You can send 1 "Speedroid" Tuner from your hand or face-up from your field to the GY; increase or reduce (min. 1) this card's Pendulum Scale by the original Level of the sent monster until the end of this turn. Monster Text: If there are no monsters on the field, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). You can only Special Summon "Speedroid Passinglider" once per turn this way. When this card is Tribute Summoned: You can target 1 Level 4 or lower "Speedroid" monster in your GY; Special Summon it. Your opponent's monsters cannot target "Speedroid" monsters for attacks, except this one. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | The Pendulum Scale can certainly be used and if you use it with its friends, it can be more effective but neither effect, nor its stats is particularly strong. | ||||||
| Pendulum Scale 8 | COTD-EN097 | Pendulum Scale 8 | |||||
| Card Type: | Pendulum Monster | ||||||
| Card Info | Abyss Actor - Trendy Understudy DARK / Fiend-Type Pendulum / Level 2 / ATK 700 / DEF 700 Pendulum Text: When you Pendulum Summon a monster: You can add 1 face-up Level 1 or 8 "Abyss Actor" Pendulum Monster from your Extra Deck to your hand. Monster Text: If you have 2 "Abyss Actor" cards in your Pendulum Zones: You can Tribute this card; Special Summon 1 Level 1 or 8 "Abyss Actor" Pendulum Monster from your hand or face-up from your Extra Deck. You can only use this effect of "Abyss Actor - Trendy Understudy" once per turn. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | Making use of the Pendulum Scale is about the best you can do with this because both effects are quite specific and its stats aren't going to help it survive by any means. | ||||||
| COTD-EN096 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Fusion Monster | ||||||
| Card Info | Destiny HERO - Dangerous DARK / Warrior-Type Fusion / Level 6 / ATK 2000 / DEF 2600 1 "Destiny HERO" monster + 1 DARK Effect Monster (Quick Effect): You can discard 1 card; send 1 "Destiny HERO" monster from your hand or Deck to the GY, and if you do, "Destiny HERO" monsters you control gain 200 ATK for each "Destiny HERO" monster in your GY until the end of this turn. You can only use this effect of "Destiny HERO - Dangerous" once per turn. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 1 | ||||||
| Comments: | "Dangerous" isn't a word I'd use to describe this guy. "Pathetic" is more like it because all it can muster up is 2000 ATK, 2600 DEF and a dismal temporary ATK boost to give it and its friends for each of its fallen comrades in the Graveyard. | ||||||
| Pendulum Scale 3 | COTD-EN095 | Pendulum Scale 3 | |||||
| Card Type: | Pendulum Monster | ||||||
| Card Info | Performapal Trumpanda EARTH / Beast-Type Pendulum / Level 3 / ATK 800 / DEF 800 Pendulum Text: Once per turn: You can increase this card's Pendulum Scale by 1 (max. 12). Monster Text: When your Pendulum Monster is targeted for an attack: You can negate the attack. You can only use this effect of "Performapal Trumpanda" once per turn. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | The effects are rather mediocre but the Pendulum Text effect has its uses as does its Pendulum Scale. | ||||||
| COTD-EN094 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Effect Monster | ||||||
| Card Info | Galaxy Worm LIGHT / Insect / Level 3 / ATK 1200 / DEF 1000 When this card is Normal Summoned while you control no other monsters: You can Special Summon 1 Level 3 or lower "Galaxy" Effect Monster from your Deck, but it has its effects negated. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | Xyz Summoning is about all you can do with this that is worthwhile because its stats are useless without another effect to benefit from it. | ||||||
| COTD-EN093 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Effect Monster | ||||||
| Card Info | Wicked Acolyte Chilam Sabak DARK / Reptile / Level 8 / ATK 2500 / DEF 0 If you have 5 or more cards in your hand, you can Normal Summon this card without Tributing. When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the GY: You can Special Summon this card in Defense Position, and if you do, it is treated as a Tuner. You can only use this effect of "Wicked Acolyte Chilam Sabak" once per turn. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | You won't be able to bring it out during the first turn of the Duel unless you manage to draw an extra card by an effect. As far as Level 8 monsters go though, it's not all that impressive with its stats or effects. | ||||||
| COTD-EN092 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Effect Monster | ||||||
| Card Info | Gogogo Aristera & Dexia EARTH / Rock / Level 3 / ATK 0 / DEF 2200 While another "Gogogo" monster is on the field, your opponent's monsters cannot target "Gogogo" monsters for attacks, also your opponent cannot target "Gogogo" monsters on the field with card effects. An Xyz Monster that was Summoned using only this card and other "Gogogo" monsters as material gains this effect. ● When it is Xyz Summoned: You can target 1 face-up Attack Position monster your opponent controls; change it to Defense Position, and if you do, change its DEF to 0. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | You can create a lock with two copies of this card and with 2200 DEF, it's hard to get rid of as a whole but Xyz Summoning with it won't help you much, even if you do get the bonus effect. | ||||||
| COTD-EN091 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Effect Monster | ||||||
| Card Info | Infernity Patriarch DARK / Fiend / Level 4 / ATK 1000 / DEF 2000 If this is the only card in your hand, you can Special Summon it (from your hand). You can only Special Summon "Infernity Patriarch" once per turn this way. While you have no cards in your hand, if an "Infernity" monster(s) you control would be destroyed by battle or card effect, you can banish this card from your GY instead. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | Obviously this is meant for Infernity Decks with both of its effects but it isn't too bad outside of there given its 2000 DEF and 1st effect. | ||||||
| COTD-EN090 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Effect Monster | ||||||
| Card Info | Junk Breaker EARTH / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1000 During your Main Phase, if this card was Normal Summoned this turn: You can Tribute this card; all face-up monsters on the field have their effects negated until the end of this turn. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 3 | ||||||
| Comments: | Not only does it work as a beatstick but if there are monsters whose effects are overpowering you, let this guy neutralize them long enough for you to take them down. | ||||||
| COTD-EN089 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Spell Card | ||||||
| Card Info | F.A. Downforce Quick-Play Spell Target 1 "F.A." monster you control; increase its Level by 2 until the end of this turn. During your Main Phase, except the turn this card was sent to the GY: You can banish this card from your GY, then target 1 "F.A." monster you control; increase its level by 2 until the end of this turn. You can only use each effect of "F.A. Downforce" once per turn. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | Well it's quicker to boost F.A. monsters than Grand Prix but that boost only lasts one turn, regardless of which effect you use. | ||||||
| COTD-EN088 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Spell Card | ||||||
| Card Info | F. A. Circuit Grand Prix Field Spell Increase the Levels of all "F.A." monsters on the field by 2 during the Battle Phase only. Once per turn, when your "F.A." monster destroys an opponent's monster by battle: You can draw 1 card. If this face-up card on the field is destroyed by a card effect: You can add 1 "F.A." card from your Deck to your hand, except "F.A. Circuit Grand Prix". You can only use this effect of "F.A. Circuit Grand Prix" once per turn. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | This makes F.A. monsters basically gain 600 ATK during the Battle Phase but unless we get better ones than the two lackluster ones below, I can't see this being too effective. | ||||||
| COTD-EN087 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Effect Monster | ||||||
| Card Info | F.A. Hang On Mach WIND / Machine / Level 4 / ATK 0 / DEF 1800 Gains ATK equal to its Level x 300. Unaffected by activated effects from an opponent's monster whose original Level/Rank is lower than this card's Level. Each time a "F.A." Spell/Trap Card or effect is activated: You can increase this card's Level by 1. If this card is Level 7 or higher, any card sent to your opponent's GY is banished instead. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | Its DEF is high enough to fend off even Vendread Revenants from this set but it's only marginally better than its comrade below. | ||||||
| COTD-EN086 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Effect Monster | ||||||
| Card Info | F.A. Sonic Meister WIND / Machine / Level 4 / ATK 0 / DEF 1000 Gains ATK equal to its Level x 300. Cannot be destroyed by battle with an opponent's monster whose original Level/Rank is lower than this card's Level. Each time a "F.A." Spell/Trap Card or effect is activated: You can increase this card's Level by 1. If this card is Level 7 or higher, it can make up to 2 attacks on monsters during each Battle Phase. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 1 | ||||||
| Comments: | Effects are as pitiful as its stats so despite being a brand new archetype, this is not the way they should start off. | ||||||
| COTD-EN085 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Trap Card | ||||||
| Card Info | Vendread Reorigin Normal Trap Target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls that has a Level; Tribute it, and if you do, Special Summon 1 "Vendread Token" (Zombie/DARK/ATK 0/DEF 0) with a Level equal to the Tributed monster's original Level. While the Token Special Summoned by this effect is on the field, you cannot Normal or Special Summon monsters, except "Vendread" monsters. SECRET RARE |
||||||
| Rating: | 1 | ||||||
| Comments: | Want a Token for free? Use Fiend's Sanctuary and the like, which are also going to be faster than this. | ||||||
| COTD-EN084 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Spell Card | ||||||
| Card Info | Revendread Origin Ritual Spell This card can be used to Ritual Summon any "Vendread" Ritual Monster from your hand or GY. You must also Tribute monsters from your hand or field, and/or banish Zombie monsters from your GY, whose total Levels equal or exceed the Level of the Ritual Monster you Ritual Summon. If "Revendread Slayer(s)" you control would be destroyed by battle or card effect, you can banish this card from your GY instead. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | Unlike traditional Ritual Spells, this card offers a bit more but not enough to rate it higher than the Ritual Monster it brings out. | ||||||
| COTD-EN083 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Effect Monster | ||||||
| Card Info | Vendread Revenants DARK / Zombie / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 200 If this card in your possession is destroyed by an opponent's card (by battle or card effect) and sent to your GY: You can Special Summon this card, but banish it when it leaves the field. A "Vendread" monster Ritual Summoned using this card on the field gains this effect. You can only use the preceding effect of "Vendread Revenants" once per turn. ● Once per turn (Quick Effect): You can target 1 Special Summoned monster your opponent controls; banish it. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 3 | ||||||
| Comments: | With help from Imperial Iron Wall, you have a scenario the likes of D.D. Scout Plane and Macro Cosmos to protect your LP consistantly and with 1800 ATK, it'll be a constant threat. | ||||||
| COTD-EN082 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Ritual Monster | ||||||
| Card Info | Revendread Slayer DARK / Zombie-Type Ritual / Level 6 / ATK 2400 / DEF 0 You can Ritual Summon this card with any "Vendread" Ritual Spell. Once per battle, if this card battles an opponent's monster, during damage calculation (Quick Effect): You can banish 1 Zombie monster from your GY; this card gains 300 ATK. If this Ritual Summoned card is sent to the GY: You can add 1 Ritual Spell from your Deck to your hand, and if you do, send 1 "Vendread" monster from your Deck to the GY. You can only use this effect of "Revendread Slayer" once per turn. RARE |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | There's only 1 Vendread Ritual Spell out in the TCG at the moment but luckily, this guy doesn't force you to use it. The effects aren't all that great though and neither is its lack of DEF. | ||||||
| COTD-EN081 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Effect Monster | ||||||
| Card Info | Samurai Skull DARK / Zombie / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 0 When this card is Normal Summoned: You can send 1 Zombie monster from your Deck to the GY. If this face-up card in its owner's control leaves the field because of an opponent's card effect: You can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Zombie monster from your Deck, except "Samurai Skull". COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | You can dump a high-level Zombie into the Graveyard for quick revival later and the other effect isn't too bad but having to Normal Summon it and/or have the opponent's card effect make it leave the field to obtain the benefits isn't that great. | ||||||
| COTD-EN080 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Trap Card | ||||||
| Card Info | Transmission Gear Normal Trap During damage calculation, if your monster battles an opponent's monster: Play rock-paper-scissors with your opponent. Make the losing player banish the battling monster they control, face-down. SHORT PRINT COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 1 | ||||||
| Comments: | Rock Paper Scissors is a risk on its own without being factored into a Duel. Plus, it could be a while before you find the outcome. | ||||||
| COTD-EN079 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Trap Card | ||||||
| Card Info | Blind Obliteration Normal Trap Roll a six-sided die twice and destroy all face-up monsters with Levels/Ranks lower than the total roll. RARE |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | It's risky whether you have monsters out or not because the total die result could hit your monsters only. | ||||||
| COTD-EN078 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Trap Card | ||||||
| Card Info | Recall Counter Trap When your opponent activates a monster effect: Negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card, also your opponent draws 1 card. RARE |
||||||
| Rating: | 1 | ||||||
| Comments: | A free card may seem meaningless but that can also be the card that gives your opponent the win. I'd rather use Divine Wrath instead. | ||||||
| COTD-EN077 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Trap Card | ||||||
| Card Info | Back to the Front Normal Trap Target 1 monster in your GY; Special Summon it in Defense Position. RARE |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | Arguably better than Soul Resurrection but not by much. | ||||||
| COTD-EN076 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Trap Card | ||||||
| Card Info | Heavy Storm Duster Normal Trap Target up to 2 Spells/Traps on the field; destroy them. You cannot conduct your Battle Phase the turn you activate this card. SUPER RARE |
||||||
| Rating: | 1 | ||||||
| Comments: | I don't see this getting heavy use due to the side-effect. It makes Twin Twisters look good. | ||||||
| COTD-EN075 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Trap Card | ||||||
| Card Info | Break Off Trap Hole Normal Trap When a Link Monster is Link Summoned: Destroy all monsters on the field that are not linked. SUPER RARE |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | It doesn't take out the Link Monster, which means it will probably take out more monsters and that'll include yours. | ||||||
| COTD-EN074 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Trap Card | ||||||
| Card Info | Dark World Brainwashing Continuous Trap When an opponent's monster activates its effect, if you have 3 or more cards in your hand (except during the Damage Step): You can target 1 "Dark World" monster on the field; return it to the hand, and if you do, the activated effect becomes "Discard 1 random card from your opponent's hand". COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | Pretty situational, even for Dark World Decks but I suppose it could be worse. | ||||||
| COTD-EN073 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Trap Card | ||||||
| Card Info | Twilight Cloth Normal Trap Target 1 face-up monster you control; banish any number of "Lightsworn" monsters from your GY, and if you do, that monster gains 200 ATK and DEF for each monster banished by this effect, until the end of this turn. If this card is sent from the Deck to the GY by a "Lightsworn" monster's effect: You can activate this effect; this turn, "Lightsworn" monsters you control cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | Once again, the last effect is the only reason I'm considering this card playable, and only barely playable at that. | ||||||
| COTD-EN072 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Trap Card | ||||||
| Card Info | Twilight Eraser Normal Trap If you control 2 or more "Lightsworn" monsters with the same Type but different names: Banish 2 "Lightsworn" monsters from your GY, then target 2 cards on the field; banish them. If this card is sent from the Deck to the GY by a "Lightsworn" monster's effect: You can Special Summon 1 "Lightsworn" monster from your hand. RARE |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | I consider this only barely playable because the activation requirements are pretty strict for the end result and only the last effect makes this remotely worthwhile. | ||||||
| COTD-EN071 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Trap Card | ||||||
| Card Info | World Legacy Landmark Normal Trap Banish 1 "World Legacy" monster from your hand or face-up from your field, then target 2 monsters in your GY; Special Summon them, but they cannot attack this turn. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | Having to get rid of a World Legacy monster isn't that bad since you get any 2 monsters in your Graveyard with little restraints, unlike Supreme Rage. | ||||||
| COTD-EN070 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Trap Card | ||||||
| Card Info | Supreme Rage Normal Trap If you control "Supreme King Z-ARC": Destroy as many monsters you control as possible, except "Supreme King Z-ARC", and if you do, Special Summon up to 4 "Supreme King Dragon" monsters with different names from your hand, Deck, Extra Deck, and/or GY, ignoring their Summoning conditions. You can banish this card from your GY, then target 1 "Supreme King Dragon" Xyz Monster you control; attach 2 "Supreme King Dragon" monsters to it as materials, from your GY and/or face-up from your Extra Deck. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 1 | ||||||
| Comments: | For such a strict actvation requirement, you'd think you wouldn't have a large number of side-effects but this card gives you too many to make itself useful. | ||||||
| COTD-EN069 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Trap Card | ||||||
| Card Info | Pulse Mines Normal Trap If you control a Machine monster: Change your opponent's Attack Position monsters (if any) to Defense Position, also, until the end of this turn, if a monster(s) is Normal or Special Summoned to your opponent's field, change them to Defense Position. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | Machines are a proven force to be reckoned with in most cases so this can be used with them but the effect only lasts one turn so you're really just delaying the inevitable. | ||||||
| COTD-EN068 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Trap Card | ||||||
| Card Info | Trickstar Reincarnation Normal Trap Banish your opponent's entire hand, and if you do, they draw the same number of cards. You can banish this card from your GY, then target 1 "Trickstar" monster in your GY; Special Summon it. SECRET RARE |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | Not many uses with this but if you're aware of a card your opponent just added to their hand, this'll likely get rid of it for a while. | ||||||
| COTD-EN067 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Trap Card | ||||||
| Card Info | Three Strikes Barrier Normal Trap If your opponent controls exactly 3 cards: Activate 1 of these effects; ● this turn, your monsters cannot be destroyed by battle. ● this turn, you take no battle damage. ● this turn, each time your monster inflicts battle damage to your opponent, you gain the same amount of LP. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 1 | ||||||
| Comments: | Why wait until they have an unlikely amount of cards on the field when you can use better cards that require little-to-nothing? | ||||||
| COTD-EN066 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Spell Card | ||||||
| Card Info | Defense Zone Field Spell For each monster a player controls in their Main Monster Zone, their Spells/Traps in the same column as that monster cannot be destroyed by their opponent's card effects, and their opponent cannot target them with card effects. SHORT PRINT COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | Obviously having 5 monsters is ideal for protecting your Spell/Trap Cards but they probably won't be protecting them for long. | ||||||
| COTD-EN065 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Spell Card | ||||||
| Card Info | Castle Link Field Spell Once per turn: You can target 1 Link Monster on the field; move it to a Main Monster Zone it points to on its controller's field. Once per turn: You can switch the locations of 2 Link Monsters in your Main Monster Zones or 2 Link Monsters in your opponent's Main Monster Zones. ULTRA RARE |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | Maybe this'll help but I doubt it'll do much for you. | ||||||
| COTD-EN064 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Spell Card | ||||||
| Card Info | Boogie Trap Normal Spell Discard 2 cards, then target 1 Trap in your GY; Set that target. It can be activated this turn. You can only activate 1 "Boogie Trap" per turn. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | A bit pricy to activate this but since you're revealing a probably important Trap Card to your opponent anyway, you might as well activate it, especially given that you'd normally be unable to. | ||||||
| COTD-EN063 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Spell Card | ||||||
| Card Info | Gravity Lash Quick-Play Spell Target 1 face-up monster on the field; it loses ATK equal to its DEF until the end of this turn. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | Goukis don't have to worry about this but most monsters do and being a Quick-Play Spell makes it a bit more versatile. | ||||||
| COTD-EN062 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Spell Card | ||||||
| Card Info | Spellbook of Knowledge Normal Spell Send to the GY either 1 Spellcaster monster you control, or 1 other "Spellbook" card from your hand or face-up from your field, except "Spellbook of Knowledge", and if you do, draw 2 cards. You can only activate 1 "Spellbook of Knowledge" per turn. ULTRA RARE |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | Despite Spellbooks being pretty well phased out, they continue to get support and I don't think this'll be enough to bring them back. | ||||||
| COTD-EN061 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Spell Card | ||||||
| Card Info | Emerging Emercency Rescute Rescue Normal Spell If your LP is lower than your opponent's: Reveal 3 Beast monsters with 300 ATK and 100 DEF from your Deck, your opponent chooses 1 for you to add to your hand, and you shuffle the rest back into your Deck. You can only activate 1 "Emerging Emergency Rescute Rescue" per turn. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | A risky card since you have to have less LP than your opponent and regardless of what you pick, your opponent will then know it's coming but that doesn't always mean they can stop it. | ||||||
| COTD-EN060 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Spell Card | ||||||
| Card Info | Twilight Twin Dragons Normal Spell If you control "Punishment Dragon": Target 1 "Judgment Dragon" in your GY; add it to your hand, then send the top 4 cards of your Deck to the GY. If this card is sent from the Deck to the GY by a "Lightsworn" monster's effect: You can target 1 "Punishment Dragon" in your GY; add it to your hand, then banish the top 4 cards of your Deck. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 1 | ||||||
| Comments: | Punishment Dragon is a horrible activation requirement as it's a much more inferior version of the very monster it retrieves from your Graveyard. The other effect is just as bad, if not worse. | ||||||
| COTD-EN059 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Spell Card | ||||||
| Card Info | March of the Dark Brigade Normal Spell Target 1 "Lightsworn" monster in your GY that has a Level; add it to your hand, then banish a number of cards from the top of your Deck equal to the original Level of that monster in your hand. You can only activate 1 "March of the Dark Brigade" per turn. ULTRA RARE |
||||||
| Rating: | 1 | ||||||
| Comments: | Seriously? This card is far worse than Monster Reincarnation. WHY was this even considered to be Ultra Rare, let alone actually being so? This is one march I don't see lasting that long. | ||||||
| COTD-EN058 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Spell Card | ||||||
| Card Info | World Legacy's Heart Normal Spell Target 2 "World Chalice" monsters in your GY with different names; add them to your hand. If your linked Link Monster would be destroyed by battle, you can banish this card from your GY instead. You can only activate 1 "World Legacy's Heart" per turn. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | Arguably there will probably be more World Chalice monsters but none of what we have currently, save for some of the Link Monsters, are that good. | ||||||
| COTD-EN057 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Spell Card | ||||||
| Card Info | World Legacy Discovery Field Spell All "World Chalice" monsters on the field gain 300 ATK and DEF. Once per turn, if a face-up "World Chalice" monster you control is destroyed by battle, or leaves the field because of an opponent's card effect: You can target 1 "World Chalice" monster in your GY; Special Summon it in Defense Position. RARE |
||||||
| Rating: | 1 | ||||||
| Comments: | Tonight on World Legacy Discovery. Your list of reasons why this card is not worth your precious Deckspace. Plus, the impending downfall of World Chalice itself. More at 11. | ||||||
| COTD-EN056 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Spell Card | ||||||
| Card Info | Smile Universe Quick-Play Spell Special Summon as many face-up Pendulum Monsters from your Extra Deck as possible, but they have their effects negated (if any), then your opponent gains LP equal to the total original ATK of those Special Summoned monsters. You cannot Normal or Special Summon other monsters, or attack, during the turn you activate this card. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 1 | ||||||
| Comments: | The only thing to smile about this card is how bad it is. You're reviving Pendulum Monsters from face-up on your Extra Deck that don't have any effects and will likely give your opponent a major LP boost. To top it off, that's the only Summoning you'll be doing that turn and you can't attack that turn either. | ||||||
| COTD-EN055 | |||||||
| Card Type: | Spell Card | ||||||
| Card Info | Air Cracking Storm Equip Spell Equip only to a Machine monster. When that attacking monster destroys your opponent's monster by battle: You can activate this effect; it can make a second attack during this Battle Phase. Your other monsters cannot attack the turn you activate this effect. COMMON |

Each time a "Trickstar" monster you control inflicts battle or effect damage to your opponent, inflict 200 damage to them. ULTRA RARE |

| Comments: | You don't need a Trickstar monster to use this card's best effect, which is to lock down your opponent's pending face-down Spell/Trap Cards, then force them to activate it or place it in the Graveyard. Plus Terraforming makes this card easy to search and Field Barrier can help lock it into place. | ||||||

| Comments: | Not much to give it since it doesn't have much that is even remotely worthwhile apart from its DEF and sub-par effects. | ||||||

| Comments: | Using an opponent's monster as the Tribute isn't too bad and once it's off the field, you're prime to play another copy later. However, it won't do you much good on its own. | ||||||

| Card Info | Supreme King Dragon Odd-Eyes DARK / Dragon-Type Pendulum / Level 8 / ATK 2500 / DEF 2000 Pendulum Text: You can Tribute 1 "Supreme King Dragon" monster; destroy this card, and if you do, add 1 Pendulum Monster with 1500 or less ATK from your Deck to your hand.

| Comments: | I can only muster up 2/5 for this guy because of dealing double battle damage with any of your Pendulum Monsters' battles against an opponent's monster. The rest makes me question how this is a "supreme" version of Odd-Eyes or anything else. | ||||||

| Card Info | Cracking Dragon DARK / Machine / Level 8 / ATK 3000 / DEF 0 Cannot be destroyed by battle with a monster with equal or lower Level. When your opponent Normal or Special Summons exactly 1 monster (and no other monsters are Summoned) while this monster is on the field: You can make that monster lose ATK equal to its Level x 200 (until the end of this turn), and if you do, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the ATK lost by this effect. SUPER RARE |

| Comments: | 3000 ATK is promising but not having any DEF and only working against monsters with Levels isn't very good at all. | ||||||

| Card Info | Jack Wyvern DARK / Machine / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 0 You can banish this card and 1 face-up Machine monster you control, then target 1 DARK monster in your GY; Special Summon it. You can only use this effect of "Jack Wyvern" once per turn. COMMON |
||||||
| Rating: | 2 | ||||||
| Comments: | The effect may come in handy but I don't recommend it and of course, it lacks DEF like some Zombies of the past and Goukis of the present, leaving its 1800 ATK to be the only remotely good thing about it. | ||||||

| Card Info | Gouki Riscorpio EARTH / Warrior / Level 5 / ATK 2300 / DEF 0 If you control no monsters, or all monsters you control are "Gouki" monsters, you can Normal Summon this card without Tributing.

| Comments: | Using the 1st effect triggers the 2nd but then you'll be out a monster and unless you can make use of that 0 DEF with The Great Ogre, it's only going to aid in making this guy more vulnerable. | ||||||

Each time a card(s) is added to your opponent's hand, inflict 200 damage to them for each. SUPER RARE |

| Rating: | 1 | ||||||
| Comments: | I don't get why this is a Super Rare when both effects are quite poor. What are you hoping to accomplish by trading one of its friends for this guy? Plus, your opponent isn't likely going to be afraid of 200 damage per card they add to the hand unless their Deck is focused around it. | ||||||

When this card inflicts battle damage to your opponent: You can target 1 "Trickstar" monster in your GY; add it to your hand. RARE |

||||||
| Rating: | 1 | ||||||
| Comments: | If he's been put as commander, he was a very poor choice because the power up, which doesn't apply to itself, is a mere 300 ATK and DEF and using the 2nd effect reduces his army. Plus, he's not among the strongest monsters out there either. | ||||||

| Card Info | Cyberse Wizard LIGHT / Cyberse / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 800 Once per turn: You can target 1 Attack Position opponent's monster; change it to Defense Position, and if you do, for the rest of this turn, your monsters cannot attack, except to attack that monster, and if your Cyberse monster attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent.

| Comments: | A better start than some of the other Cyberse monsters released so far in the TCG as its 1800 ATK and LIGHT attribute are sure to help out with Honest still legal. Plus it can deal piercing battle damage too but it requires using the effect that restrains your attacks to the monster targeted with the effect. | ||||||
