DANE-EN099
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Memories of Hope
Normal Spell
Draw cards equal to the number of "Number" Xyz Monsters with different names you control. You can only activate 1 "Memories of Hope" per turn.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: What are the odds you're going to have more than one Number Xyz Monster on your field, especially when most of them suck? I'd say pretty slim to none, especially since they need to have different names.
DANE-EN098
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Whitefish Salvage
Continuous Spell
You can target 1 Fish monster in your GY; add it to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Whitefish Salvage" once per turn. If this card in your possession is destroyed by an opponent's card effect and sent to your GY: Take 1 Fish monster from your Deck, and either add it to your hand or Special Summon it.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: What Fish-Type monsters do we have that are viable with this? Not very many. I wouldn't even recommend this with Mermails as they're mostly Aqua-Type.
DANE-EN097
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Pendulum Halt
Normal Spell
If you have 3 or more face-up Pendulum Monsters with different names in your Extra Deck: Draw 2 cards. You cannot add cards from the Deck to your hand for the rest of this turn after this card resolves.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Little point in drawing extra cards if you're then unable to add anything else to your hand in case your draws are bad. It's already not really usable in Archetype Decks because they're all generally going to use multiples of the same monster.
DANE-EN096
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Speedlift
Quick-Play Spell
If you control exactly 1 Tuner and no other monsters: Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Speedroid" monster from your Deck. Neither player can activate cards or effects when that monster is Special Summoned.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Kind of random to have it require a Tuner and no other monsters but as a Quick-Play Spell, it can help with Synchro, Xyz and maybe even Link Summons.
DANE-EN095
Active Link Arrows: Bottom-Left and Bottom-Right
Card Type: Link Monster
Card Info Cherubini, Ebon Angel of the Burning Abyss
DARK / Fairy-Type Link / ATK 500 / Link-2
2 Level 3 monsters
Monsters this card points to cannot be destroyed by card effects. If this card would be destroyed by battle or an opponent's card effect, you can send 1 other card you control to the GY instead. You can send 1 Level 3 monster from your Deck to the GY, then target 1 "Burning Abyss" monster on the field; it gains ATK/DEF equal to the ATK/DEF of the monster sent to the GY, until the end of this turn. You can only use this effect of "Cherubini, Ebon Angel of the Burning Abyss" once per turn.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Seems like it's manditory for Burning Abyss Extra Deck monsters to be Secret Rare because we've had a few prior to this that were also Secret Rare and this guy just isn't worth the effort given it's incredibly weak and sacrifices the same monsters it protects just to save itself and cost you more LP.
DANE-EN094
Active Link Arrows: Bottom-Left and Bottom-Right
Card Type: Link Monster
Card Info Mermail Abyssalacia
WATER / Sea Serpent-Type Link / ATK 1600 / Link-2
2 Fish, Sea Serpent, and/or Aqua monsters
Monsters this card points to gain 500 ATK/DEF. You can only use each of the following effects of "Mermail Abyssalacia" once per turn.
● During your opponent's turn (Quick Effect): You can send 1 card from your hand to the GY; add 1 "Mermail" monster from your Deck to your hand.
● If this card in its owner's possession is destroyed by an opponent's attack or card effect: You can send 1 WATER monster from your Deck to the GY, then target 1 WATER monster in your GY; Special Summon it in Defense Position.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: The effects are pretty mediocre and it's not very strong but in some instances it can be okay.
DANE-EN093
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Number XX: Utopic Dark Infinity
DARK / Warrior-Tupe Xyz / Rank 10 / ATK 4000 / DEF 4000
2+ Level 10 monsters
When a monster is destroyed by battle and sent to the GY: You can detach 1 material from this card, then target that monster; Special Summon it to your field in Defense Position. You can target 1 other face-up Special Summoned monster you control; gain LP equal to its original ATK. You can only use each effect of "Number XX: Utopic Dark Infinity" once per turn.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: As far as Number and Utopic monsters go, it's pretty powerful and getting the materials isn't too difficult thanks to Metal Reflect Slime and Yubel. Still, the monster it revives is going to be vulnerable and this guy will lose an Xyz Material. The other effect costs nothing, though.
DANE-EN092
Card Type: Xyz Monster
Card Info Number 5: Doom Chimera Dragon
DARK / Dragon-Type Xyz / Rank 5 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
2+ Level 5 monsters
Gains 1000 ATK for each material attached to it. This card with material can attack all monsters your opponent controls once each. At the end of the Battle Phase, if this card battled: You can activate one of the following effects.
● Target 1 monster in your GY; attach it to this card as material.
● Target 1 card in your opponent's GY; place it on top of their Deck.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It's weak to start but with at least 3 Xyz Materials, it can be okay and can get more each turn but is entirely relient on having them to be even remotely successful.
DANE-EN091
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Loge's Flame
Continuous Trap
While you control a "Valkyrie" monster, monsters your opponent controls with 2000 or less ATK cannot attack. If this card in your possession is destroyed by an opponent's card effect: You can Special Summon 1 Level 5 or higher "Valkyrie" monster from your hand or Deck.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It isn't going to do much, even in Valkyrie Decks because monsters that are stronger can bypass it whether you have a Valkyrie monster out or not. At least the other effect can bring out just about any Valkyrie monster.
DANE-EN090
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Pegasus Wing
Normal Spell
If you have a Union monster in your GY: Target any number of "Valkyrie" monsters you control; those monsters can attack directly this turn, but if they do so using this effect, their battle damage inflicted to your opponent is halved.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: At least you don't need to control a Union monster, nor do you need a Valkyrie one but Union monsters generally aren't all that good, appart from the XYZ ones.
DANE-EN089
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Valkyrie's Embrace
Normal Spell
If all monsters you control are "Valkyrie" monsters: Target 1 Attack Position "Valkyrie" monster you control and 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; change your monster to Defense Position, and if you do, banish that opponent's monster. You cannot Special Summon monsters the turn you activate this card, except "Valkyrie" monsters. You can only activate 1 "Valkyrie's Embrace" per turn.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: There are better ways to banish monsters without even needing Valkyrie monsters.
DANE-EN088
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Valkyrie Chariot
WIND / Fairy-Type Union / Level 3 / ATK 500 / DEF 1000
Once per turn, you can either: Target 1 Fairy monster you control; equip this card to that target, OR: Unequip this card and Special Summon it. If the equipped monster would be destroyed by battle or card effect, destroy this card instead. When the equipped monster declares an attack: You can have it gain 500 ATK. (This ATK gain remains even if this card leaves the field.)
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: The ATK boost applies to any Fairy-Type monster and will give it the ATK even after it's been removed from its host. Still, it doesn't have much on its own.
DANE-EN087
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Valkyrie Erda
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 8 / ATK 2000 / DEF 2200
You can only control 1 "Valkyrie Erda". While you control this card, Special Summoned by the effect of a "Valkyrie" card, all face-up monsters your opponent controls lose 1000 ATK. Any card destroyed by battle or card effect that would be sent to your opponent's GY is banished instead.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: I don't know of too many Valkyrie cards we have that Special Summon the likes of her but she's not going to be that useful even so because apart from that, she's just a copy of Banisher of the Light.
DANE-EN086
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Valkyrie Funfte
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 2 / ATK 800 / DEF 1200
"Valkyrie" monsters you control gain 200 ATK for each of your opponent's banished monsters. If you control a "Valkyrie" monster other than "Valkyrie Funfte": You can send 1 Spell/Trap from your Deck to the GY. You can only use this effect of "Valkyrie Funfte" once per turn.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Unfortunately, key cards that could make her remotely playable are either limited or banned and probably aren't going to be released from those statuses anytime soon. This means, she'll pretty much be useless until then.
DANE-EN085
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info You're in Danger!
Normal Trap
Reveal 3 "Danger!" monsters with different names from your Deck, your opponent randomly picks 1 for you to Special Summon, and you shuffle the rest into the Deck. During the End Phase, destroy that Special Summoned monster. You can only activate 1 "You're in Danger!" per turn.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: What danger am I in? The mere thought of a piece of cardboard with ink temporarily staying on the field? Turns out some danger IS a laughing matter.
DANE-EN084
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Danger! Feets of Strength!
Equip Spell
Equip only to a "Danger!" monster. It gains 800 ATK/DEF. It cannot be destroyed by card effects. It can make up to 2 attacks on monsters during each Battle Phase.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Since Danger! monsters are pretty vulnerable as is, they'll need cards like this to support themselves but this won't be enough.
DANE-EN083
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Danger! Excitement! Mystery!
Normal Spell
Discard 1 Level 5 or higher "Danger!" monster; add 1 Level 4 or lower "Danger!" monster from your Deck to your hand. You cannot Special Summon monsters for the rest of this turn after this card resolves, except "Danger!" monsters. You can only activate 1 "Danger! Excitement! Mystery!" per turn.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: The Danger! is more like crying wolf because the entire Archetype has proven to be pretty much just as the folklore presents it, intriguing at first then disappointing later on.
DANE-EN082
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Saryuja's Shackles
Normal Trap
Target 1 Link Monster your opponent controls or is in their GY; draw cards equal to its Link Rating, then, if you have 2 or more cards in your hand, place 2 cards from your hand on the bottom of your Deck in any order. You can only activate 1 "Saryuja's Shackles" per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: I'd think having the Link Monster out in general would've sufficed to be the card's activation requirements but we're apparently not allowed to draw cards anymore without getting rid of cards in our hand afterwards.
DANE-EN081
Card Type: Synchro Monster
Card Info Muddy Mudragon
DARK / Dragon-Type Synchro / Level 5 / ATK 500 / DEF 2200
1 Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner monsters
This card can be used as a substitute for any 1 Fusion Material whose name is specifically listed on the Fusion Monster Card, but the other Fusion Material(s) must be correct. During your Main Phase, if you control this Synchro Summoned card: You can Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters you control as Fusion Material, including this card. You can only use this effect of "Muddy Mudragon" once per turn.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: In spite of its artwork, all that mud has left it becoming pretty much useless in Duels as everything it has to offer can be done as well as if not better for little or no effort.
DANE-EN080
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Dice It
Normal Trap
Roll a six-sided die. Apply this effect, depending on whose turn it is.
● During your turn: Banish cards from your GY equal to the result. Then, if the result was 1, send 6 cards from the top of your Deck to the GY.
● During your opponent's turn: Send cards from the top of your Deck to the GY equal to the result. Then, if the result was 6, banish 1 card from your GY.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Doesn't matter what effect you end up using as you lose either way. It's just a pitiful attempt to trigger effects in the Graveyard.
DANE-EN079
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Snowman Effect
Normal Trap
Target 1 face-up monster you control; it gains ATK equal to the combined original ATK of the other monsters you control, until the end of this turn. It cannot attack directly during the turn you activate this card. You can only activate 1 "Snowman Effect" per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: Beatdown Decks can take full advantage of this in a lot of ways, especially since it doesn't restrain your other monsters from attacking (should you use this during your turn).
DANE-EN078
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Crackdown
Continuous Trap
Activate by targeting 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; take control of that monster. While you control that monster, it cannot attack or activate effects. When that monster leaves the field, destroy this card.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 4
Comments: Mind Control has nothing on this card because while that card can be activated more readily, this can take anything and use that monster for anything. It also has little restraints and no activation requirements, apart from being a Trap Card.
DANE-EN077
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Chain Hole
Normal Trap
When your opponent activates a monster effect in response to a card or effect activation: Negate that opponent's effect, then, your opponent can banish 1 card from their hand or Deck with the same original name as that negated card. If they did not, you can banish 1 random card from their hand.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: While I can see it being somewhat potent against Decks that rely heavily on their monster effects, it doesn't stop anything else and doesn't do much when it's successful.
DANE-EN076
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info World Legacy Cliffhanger
Normal Trap
When an attack is declared involving 2 Link Monsters: Shuffle all monsters on the field and in the GYs into the Decks. For the rest of this turn after this card resolves, neither player can Link Summon.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: This is like having an episode end in suspense where you know the result and here, it's plainly obvious that it's just not worth using.
DANE-EN075
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info World Legacy Collapse
Continuous Trap
You can banish 1 "World Legacy" monster from your hand, GY, or face-up field, then target 1 Link Monster on the field; it gains ATK equal to the original ATK of the banished monster (even if this card leaves the field). If a Link Monster(s) you control is destroyed by battle or an opponent's card effect while this card is in your GY: You can banish this card; Special Summon 1 Cyberse Link Monster from your GY. You can only use each effect of "World Legacy Collapse" once per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It's not even specific to World Legacy Link Monsters but since it needs a World Legacy Monster to even use the effect, it might as well be and it's okay for those Decks.
DANE-EN074
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Orcust Crescendo
Counter Trap
When a Spell/Trap Card, or monster effect, is activated while you control an "Orcust" Link Monster: Negate the activation, and if you do, banish that card. You can banish this card from your GY; add to your hand 1 of your DARK Machine monsters that is banished or in your Deck. You cannot Special Summon monsters the turn you activate this effect, except DARK Machine monsters. You can only use 1 "Orcust Crescendo" effect per turn, and only once that turn.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It can't be just any Orcust monster but it stops just about anything that would come your way in return. The 2nd effect isn't all that useful, though.
DANE-EN073
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info The Weather Rainbowed Canvas
Continuous Trap
You can only control 1 "The Weather Rainbowed Canvas". "The Weather" Effect Monsters in your Main Monster Zones of this card's column and its adjacent columns gain this effect.
● If your opponent controls a monster (Quick Effect): You can banish this card; Special Summon 1 "The Weather" monster with a different name from your Deck, also you cannot Special Summon other monsters from the Deck for the rest of this turn.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: All that text for a card that Special Summons 1 monster? Not even The Weather Decks should consider this.
DANE-EN072
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Magical Musket - Crooked Crown
Continuous Trap
You can only control 1 "Magical Musket - Crooked Crown". During the Main Phase: You can Special Summon 1 "Magical Musket" monster from your hand, and if you do, if your opponent's Main Monster Zone in that monster's current column is unused, that zone cannot be used until the end of this turn (even if this card leaves the field). You can only use this effect of "Magical Musket - Crooked Crown" once per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: You'll probably get at least 2 Magical Musketeers out each turn but the opponent's Main Monster Zone only becomes unusable for 1 turn.
DANE-EN071
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Super Quantal Union - Magnaformation
Continuious Trap
Your opponent cannot target "Super Quant" cards on the field with card effects during your Main Phase 1. You can target 1 "Super Quant" Xyz Monster you control; attach 1 other face-up monster you control to it as material. You can only use this effect of "Super Quantal Union - Magnaformation" once per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: If it weren't for the 2nd effect, I'd have no problem giving this card my lowest rating but it's not much better.
DANE-EN070
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Assault Reboot
Normal Trap
Tribute 1 "/Assault Mode" monster; Special Summon 1 "/Assault Mode" monster from your Deck with a different name in Defense Position, ignoring its Summoning conditions. You can banish this card from your GY, then target any number of cards in your GY, with different names, that are "Assault Mode Activate" and/or specifically list "Assault Mode Activate" in their text, except "Assault Reboot"; shuffle them into the Deck. You can only use each effect of "Assault Reboot" once per turn.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: What's the point of this exactly? You're just trading in 1 useless /Assault Mode monster for one that's even worse given that it wasn't summoned properly. The other effect doesn't even mean anything since you're just recycling the junk that makes up the Archetype as a whole.
DANE-EN069
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info D - Tactics
Continuous Trap
During the Standby Phase: You can have all "HERO" monsters you control gain 400 ATK (even if this card leaves the field). If a Level 8 or higher "Destiny HERO" monster(s) or a "Destiny End Dragoon" is Special Summoned to your field (except during the Damage Step): You can banish 1 card from your opponent's hand (random), field, or GY. If this card in the Spell & Trap Zone is destroyed by card effect: You can add 1 "Destiny HERO" monster from your Deck to your hand. You can only use each effect of "D - Tactics" once per turn.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: The tactics here are pretty minimal except for the last one, which actually has some uses.
DANE-EN068
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Altergesit Haunted Rock
Continuous Trap
If this card was Set by the effect of an "Altergeist" card, you can activate it the turn it was Set. When this card is activated: Send 1 "Altergeist" monster from your hand to the GY. When your opponent activates a Trap Card (except during the Damage Step): You can send 1 "Altergeist" monster from your hand to the GY; negate that effect, and if you do, destroy that card. You can only use each effect of "Altergeist Haunted Rock" once per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Not even that playable in Altergeist Decks considering you end up losing more than you gain and only the 2nd effect is worth it.
DANE-EN067
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Packet Swap
Normal Spell
Target 1 face-up non-Link Monster you control and 1 Link Monster your opponent controls; switch control of those monsters. You can only activate 1 "Packet Swap" per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: First of all, this card targets, which means it can be blocked by cards that Creature Swap can't and second, you're limited on monsters you can choose on both sides of the field.
DANE-EN066
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Stand In
Quick-Play Spell
Tribute 1 monster, then target 1 monster in your opponent's GY with the same original Type and Attribute; Special Summon it to your field. You can only activate 1 "Stand In" per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: If you need a monster that badly, use Call of the Haunted, Monster Reborn or any other more versatile card.
DANE-EN065
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Mordschlag
Equip Spell
Equip only to a Normal Summoned/Set monster you control. It is unaffected by your opponent's activated effects of Special Summoned monsters. During damage calculation, if the equipped monster battles an opponent's Special Summoned monster: That opponent's monster loses ATK/DEF equal to the equipped monster's original ATK, during that damage calculation only.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: This can be especially deadly with Armed Protector Dragon, whom can protect this card from harm as well but just about any high ATK monster can make use of this.
DANE-EN064
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Mystic Mine
Field Spell
If your opponent controls more monsters than you do, your opponent cannot activate monster effects or declare an attack. If you control more monsters than your opponent does, you cannot activate monster effects or declare an attack. Once per turn, during the End Phase, if both players control the same number of monsters: Destroy this card.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Field Barrier can keep this card in play regardless of the number of monsters out but this card isn't all that good except in very few Decks.
DANE-EN063
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Dirge of the Lost Dragon
Continuous Spell
Activate this card by declaring 1 card name. Each time the declared card, or its effect, is activated, halve its owner's LP immediately after it resolves. During the End Phase, if this card halved a player's LP this turn, send this card to the GY. While your opponent controls a monster, this card cannot be destroyed by card effects.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Just like the monster it depicts, this card is hurtful to both players and doesn't stop the card that triggers the effect in the first place. It's also irrelevent that it can't be destroyed by card effects if your opponenent has a monster out.
DANE-EN062
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Impcantation Thanatosis
Field Spell
When this card is activated: You can reveal 1 "Impcantation" monster in your hand and Special Summon 2 monsters with that monster's name from your Deck, then shuffle the revealed monster into the Deck. Once per turn, if a Ritual Monster is Special Summoned to your field (except during the Damage Step): You can target 1 card on the field; destroy it. You can only activate 1 "Impcantation Thanatosis" per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Doesn't really matter what effects are given to support Impcantations because they have no good uses whatsoever.
DANE-EN061
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Crusadia Testament
Quick-Play Spell
Activate 1 of these effects.
● Your opponent cannot activate cards or effects in response to the activation of your "Crusadia" monster effects this turn.
● After damage calculation, if your "Crusadia" Link Monster destroys an opponent's monster by battle: Draw cards equal to your monster's Link Rating.
You can only activate 1 "Crusadia Testament" per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: The extra cards you draw from this effect isn't going to offset the crappiness of the Crusadia Link Monsters.
DANE-EN060
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Guardragon Reincarnation
Quick-Play Spell
Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, by banishing Fusion Materials listed on it, that are all Link Monsters, from your field or GY. You can only activate 1 "Guardragon Reincarnation" per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: I highly doubt any Fusion Monster that needs Link Monsters is going to prove useful and even if it is, there are better cards to use to bring out Fusion Monsters than this.
DANE-EN059
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info World Legacy Monstrosity
Quick-Play Spell
Activate 1 of these effects.
● Special Summon 1 Level 9 monster from your hand.
● Target 1 Level 9 monster you control; Special Summon from your Deck, 2 Level 9 monsters each with different original Type and Attribute from that face-up targeted monster, and with different names from each other, but these 2 monsters cannot attack, also destroy them during the End Phase.
You can only activate 1 "World Legacy Monstrosity" per turn.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: A monstrosity indeed because it's based on a Level that most people don't even use (and shouldn't) and won't likely have in their hand at the time. No excuse is good enough to explain why this card is such a high rarity.
DANE-EN058
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Cloudian Aerosol
Normal Spell
Discard 1 "Cloudian" monster, then target 1 face-up monster on the field; place Fog Counters on that target equal to its Level. You can banish this card and 1 "Cloudian" monster from your GY; Special Summon 1 "Cloudian" monster from your Deck. You can only use 1 "Cloudian Aerosol" effect per turn, and only once that turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: This'd be a start in making Cloudians relevent in tounaments (they never really did get going when they were released) but a start isn't enough in getting a Deck to top tier status.
DANE-EN057
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Mayakashi Winter
Continuous Spell
Monsters your opponent controls lose 100 ATK/DEF for each "Mayakashi" monster with a different name in your GY. You can only use 1 of the following effects of "Mayakashi Winter" per turn, and only once that turn.
● Send this card and 1 "Mayakashi" monster you control to the GY; draw 1 card.
● Banish this card and 1 Zombie monster from your GY, then target 1 "Mayakashi" monster in your GY; Special Summon it.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: That's got to be one harsh winter because the effects are so bad they're outclassed by cards dating back to Pharaonic Guardian.
DANE-EN056
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Super Quantal Alphancall Appeal
Quick-Play Spell
If a "Super Quant" monster you control is destroyed by battle: Special Summon 1 "Super Quantal Mech Beast" Xyz Monster from your Extra Deck, then you can Special Summon 1 "Super Quantum" monster from your hand, Deck, or GY, that is specifically listed on that Xyz Monster in its text, but negate its effects. You can only activate 1 "Super Quantal Alphancall Appeal" per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: So you replace the Super Quant monster you lost with two that are just about useless. There's no appeal for this card at all, though I'm sure there's a need to appeal the decision to make the card in the first place.
DANE-EN055
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Assault Mode Zero
Quick-Play Spell
Tribute 1 Synchro Monster; Special Summon 1 "/Assault Mode" monster from your hand whose name includes the Tributed monster's name. (This is treated as a Special Summon with "Assault Mode Activate".) During your Main Phase: You can banish this card from your GY; Set 1 "Assault Mode Activate" directly from your hand or Deck. It can be activated this turn. You can only use each effect of "Assault Mode Zero" once per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: /Assault Modes are pretty much a lost cause at this point. Pretty much all their members and their support suck as a whole and the only one that was ever used to my knowledge was Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode.
DANE-EN054
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Fusion Destiny
Normal Spell
Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck that lists a "Destiny HERO" monster as material, using monsters from your hand or Deck as Fusion Material, but destroy it during the End Phase of the next turn, also for the rest of this turn after this card resolves, you cannot Special Summon monsters, except DARK "HERO" monsters. You can only activate 1 "Fusion Destiny" per turn.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Even Destiny HERO Decks get a crappy remake of Polymerization but their's also takes down the monster it brings out, making it even worse.
DANE-EN053
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Tyrant Dino Fusion
Quick-Play Spell
Fusion Summon 1 "Dinowrestler" monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters you control as Fusion Material. If you do, the first time that face-up monster on the field would be destroyed by battle or card effect, it is not destroyed.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Another watered down Polymerization and this only proves that Poly is superior in just about every way.
DANE-EN052
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Salamangreat Recureance
Normal Spell
Target 2 "Salamangreat" monsters in your GY with different names; add them to your hand. If this Set card is destroyed by card effect and sent to the GY: You can add 1 "Salamangreat" Spell/Trap from your Deck to your hand, except "Salamangreat Recureance". You can only use each effect of "Salamangreat Recureance" once per turn.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Don't know why this card is Ultra consdering it's not all that different from Salvage and the other effect isn't much better.
DANE-EN051
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Cynet Mining
Normal Spell
Send 1 card from your hand to the GY; add 1 Level 4 or lower Cyberse monster from your Deck to your hand. You can only activate 1 "Cynet Mining" per turn.

Comments: Since the /Assault Mode monsters can't be Special Summoned other ways and this guy doesn't bypass those other ways, it doesn't have much to get thus far.

Comments: /Assault Mode monsters still don't have what it takes to do well and even then, I probably won't give them much credit. This guy is also a Tuner monster, though.

Comments: It's probably not going to be much use on the field so you might as well use it for one of its comrades that is in trouble. The other effect is pretty situational anyway.

Comments: The effect certainly went all out to make sure it was pointless to use given that it's a variation of Archetype Bias. At least it's a Tuner but that's really its only redeeming quality.

Comments: Well as far as Sneak Previews, it's about what you'd expect, nothing overpowered or underpowered, except this card is pretty much useless as the effect only lasts one turn and only when you control no cards.
