DUEA-EN099
Card Type: Xyz Monster
Card Info Pilgrim Reaper
DARK / Zombie-Type Xyz / Rank 6 / ATK ? / DEF ?
2 Level 6 monsters
This card gains 200 ATK and DEF for every DARK monster in either player's Graveyard. You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; each player sends the top 5 cards from their Deck to the Graveyard (or their entire Deck, if less than 5). You can only use this effect of "Pilgrim Reaper" once per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: He won't likely have high ATK and DEF when you Xyz Summon him, even in an all DARK Deck and that'll make him vulnerable to attacks and all he can do is force both players to lose the next 5 cards of their Deck.
DUEA-EN098
Card Type: Synchro Monster
Card Info Cloudcastle
WIND / Machine-Type Synchro / Level 9 / ATK 0 / DEF 3000
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
When this card is Synchro Summoned: You can target 1 Level 9 monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target. Level 8 or lower monsters cannot attack the turn they are Normal or Special Summoned.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It's not Synchro Material specific and can make for a Rank 9 Xyz Summon and/or stall any lower Level high ATK monsters your opponent has but that can easily be worked around by Xyz Summoning with them.
DUEA-EN097
Card Type: Fusion Monster
Card Info Panzer Dragon
LIGHT / Machine-Type Fusion / Level 5 / ATK 1000 / DEF 2600
1 Machine-Type monster + 1 Dragon-Type monster
If this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 card on the field; destroy that target.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It's a valid target for Instant Fusion, which'll Fusion Summon it and trigger its effect during the End Phase and it doesn't care who's effect or attack destroys it but outside that and its DEF, there isn't much going for it.
DUEA-EN096
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Fishborg Doctor
WATER / Fish / Level 4 / ATK 400 / DEF 400
If this card is in your Graveyard and all face-up monsters you control (min. 1) are "Fishborg" monsters: You can Special Summon this card, and if you do, banish it when it leaves the field. You can only use this effect of "Fishborg Doctor" once per turn. If you control a monster that is not a "Fishborg" monster, destroy this card.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: He's not a real doctor as he's already prescribed himself with the Anti-Playability Drug and emptied it.
DUEA-EN095
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Felis, Lightsworn Archer
LIGHT / Beast-Warrior-Type Tuner / Level 4 / ATK 1100 / DEF 2000
Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned by a card effect, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. When this card is sent from your Deck to the Graveyard by a monster effect: Special Summon it. You can Tribute this card, then target 1 monster your opponent controls; destroy that target, then send the top 3 cards of your Deck to the Graveyard.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: A Tuner that restricts its Summoning options to effects only but can get rid of a threat multiple times per turn if you're lucky.
DUEA-EN094
Card Type: Xyz Monster
Card Info Number 58: Burner Visor
FIRE / Pyro-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1000
2 Level 4 monsters
Once per turn, you can either: Target 1 face-up Xyz Monster you control; equip this card to that target, OR: Unequip this card and Special Summon it in face-up Attack Position. The equipped monster can attack your opponent directly. When the equipped monster inflicts battle damage to your opponent: You can discard 1 card; inflict 500 damage to your opponent.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: It's trying to mask as a Union monster but it doesn't have the capability of succeeding as its stats are really poor for needing 2 Level 4 materials and once it equips, those materials are sent to the Graveyard and the best you get is for your Xyz Monster to be able to attack directly and/or dealing your opponent 500 damage for a small price.
DUEA-EN093
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Exchange of Night and Day
Continuous Trap
You can only use 1 "Exchange of Night and Day" effect per turn, and only once that turn. You can activate 1 of these effects.
● Send 1 LIGHT Warrior-Type monster from your hand to the Graveyard, then add 1 DARK Warrior-Type monster from your Deck to your hand, with the same Level the sent monster had in your hand.
● Send 1 DARK Warrior-Type monster from your hand to the Graveyard, then add 1 LIGHT Warrior-Type monster from your Deck to your hand, with the same Level the sent monster had in your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: If the Gaia Knights were any indication, this card's effects are just as horrible.
DUEA-EN092
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Chaos Seed
Normal Spell
If you control both LIGHT and DARK monster(s): You can target 1 of your banished LIGHT or DARK Warrior-Type monsters; add it to your hand. You can only activate 1 "Chaos Seed" per turn.
COMMON
Rating:
Comments: You're MUCH better off using D.D.R. as although it costs you a card from your hand, it Special Summons any 1 of your banished monsters.
DUEA-EN091
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Gaia, the Mid-Knight Sun
LIGHT / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1200
You can only use each effect of "Gaia, the Mid-Knight Sun" once per turn.
● You can Tribute 1 other LIGHT monster you control; add 1 Level 4 DARK Warrior-Type monster from your Deck to your hand, then send 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard.
● You can banish 1 DARK monster from your Graveyard, then target 1 monster on the field; it loses 500 ATK, until the end of your opponent's turn.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Sane as DUEA-EN090's comments.
DUEA-EN090
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Gaia, the Polar Knight
DARK / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1200
You can only use each effect of "Gaia, the Polar Knight" once per turn.
● You can Tribute 1 other DARK monster; add 1 Level 4 LIGHT Warrior-Type monster from your Deck to your hand, then send 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard.
● You can banish 1 LIGHT monster from your Graveyard, then target 1 monster you control; it gains 500 ATK until the end of your opponent's turn.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Not only is it weak to start but its effects are very restrictive.
DUEA-EN089
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info U.A. Stadium
Field Spell
If a "U.A." monster is Normal Summoned to your side of the field: You can add 1 "U.A." monster from your Deck to your hand. Once per turn, if a "U.A." monster(s) is Special Summoned to your side of the field: All monsters you currently control gain 500 ATK.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Only two U.A. monsters exist at the moment and they aren't all that good but at least this isn't specific to those monsters gaining the ATK.
DUEA-EN088
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info U.A. Perfect Ace
EARTH / Warrior / Level 5 / ATK 1500 / DEF 2500
You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by returning 1 "U.A." monster you control to the hand, except "U.A. Perfect Ace". You can only Special Summon "U.A. Perfect Ace" once per turn this way. Once per turn, during your opponent's turn, when a card or effect is activated: You can discard 1 card; negate that activation, and if you do, destroy it (this is a Quick Effect).
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Most monsters with its Level cannot defeat it if it's in Defense Mode, it's searchable and it can stop your opponent's effects by discarding any card from your hand but only once per turn and only during your opponent's turn.
DUEA-EN087
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info U.A. Mighty Slugger
EARTH / Warrior / Level 5 / ATK 2300 / DEF 700
You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by returning 1 "U.A." monster you control to the hand, except "U.A. Mighty Slugger". You can only Special Summon "U.A. Mighty Slugger" once per turn this way. If this card attacks, your opponent cannot activate cards or effects until the end of the Damage Step.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Special Summoning it its way isn't all that great but at least it gets interference-free attacks.
DUEA-EN086
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info The Traveler and the Burning Abyss
Normal Trap
Target any number of "Burning Abyss" monsters in your Graveyard that were sent there this turn; Special Summon them in Defense Position. You can only activate 1 "The Traveler and the Burning Abyss" per turn.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: You can get back all Burning Abyss Monsters you lost this turn and later use them for a Summon and they come back in Defense Mode, which can save your Life Points but only one copy can be activated per turn.
DUEA-EN085
Card Type: Xyz Monster
Card Info Dante, Traveler of the Burning Abyss
LIGHT / Warrior-Type Xyz / Rank 3 / ATK 1000 / DEF 2500
2 Level 3 monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card and choose a number from 1 to 3, then send that many cards from the top of your Deck to the Graveyard; until the end of this turn, this card gains 500 ATK for each card sent to the Graveyard this way. If this card attacks, it is changed to Defense Position at the end of the Battle Phase. If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 "Burning Abyss" card in your Graveyard, except this card; add it to your hand.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It can have up to 2500 ATK by its effect but only for that turn and while changing to Defense Mode with 2500 DEF isn't that bad, if it's ever sent to the Grave, you cannot get it back by its effect.
DUEA-EN084
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Cir, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss
DARK / Fiend / Level 3 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1200
If you control a monster that is not a "Burning Abyss" monster, destroy this card. You can only use 1 of the following effects of "Cir, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss" per turn, and only once that turn.
● If you control no Spell/Trap Cards: You can Special Summon this card from your hand.
● If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 "Burning Abyss" monster in your Graveyard, except "Cir, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss"; Special Summon it.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Same as DUEA-EN084's comments.
DUEA-EN083
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Graff, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss
DARK / Fiend / Level 3 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1500
If you control a monster that is not a "Burning Abyss" monster, destroy this card. You can only use 1 of the following effects of "Graff, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss" per turn, and only once that turn.
● If you control no Spell/Trap Cards: You can Special Summon this card from your hand.
● If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 "Burning Abyss" monster from your Deck, except "Graff, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss".
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It can replace itself after it self-destructs but that's if you haven't used the other bulleted effect, which is the better option anyway and is otherwise fairly weak.
DUEA-EN082
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Scarm, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss
DARK / Fiend / Level 3 / ATK 800 / DEF 2000
If you control a monster that is not a "Burning Abyss" monster, destroy this card. You can only use 1 of the following effects of "Scarm, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss" per turn, and only once that turn.
● If you control no Spell/Trap Cards: You can Special Summon this card from your hand.
● During the End Phase, if this card was sent to the Graveyard this turn: You can add 1 Level 3 DARK Fiend-Type monster from your Deck to your hand, except "Scarm, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss".
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It self-destructs if there are any "invaders" on your field but if you lack any Spells or Traps, it can be Special Summoned free of charge, making it ideal for a Tribute Summon, Synchro Summon or Xyz Summon but the second bullet doesn't have many options.
DUEA-EN081
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Doomstar Magician
DARK / Spellcaster / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 300
Once per turn: You can discard 1 card, then target 1 card in either player's Pendulum Zone; destroy that card, and if you do, draw 1 card.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: A Beatstick that can get rid of any unwanted Pendulum Monster in the Pendulum Zone and draw a card for a small price!
DUEA-EN080
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info That Six
Continuous Trap
Each time a player rolls a die (or dice), you can choose 1 die result, and apply the appropriate effect based on the result.
● 1, 3, or 5: The die result is treated as 6.
● 2, 4, or 6: The die result is treated as 1.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Of the playable monsters that use a die for their effect like Snipe Hunter and even Dice Jar, this can help save your cards and/or Life Points but the average player won't likely be using them.
DUEA-EN079
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Time-Space Trap Hole
Normal Trap
When your opponent Special Summons a monster(s) from the hand or Extra Deck: Shuffle that monster(s) into the Deck, then you lose 1000 LP for each returned monster.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Of course it's anti-Pendulum Summoning but then you're going to take a huge hit from this card's effect and those threats are not removed permanently.
DUEA-EN078
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Pendulum Back
Normal Trap
If you have 2 cards in your Pendulum Zones: Target 2 monsters in your Graveyard, each with a Level between (exclusive) the Pendulum Scales of the cards in your Pendulum Zones; add them to your hand.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Your options are only limited by what's in your Graveyard and the 2 Pendulum monsters on your field but either way, they can't help you much if you lose one of your two activated Pendulum Monsters.
DUEA-EN077
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Face-Off
Counter Trap
When a Spell/Trap Card, or monster effect, is activated during the Damage Step: Negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: An almost better version of Debunk as it can stop Spells and Traps too but only during the Damage Step.
DUEA-EN076
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Chain Dispel
Normal Trap
When a Spell/Trap Card is activated: Destroy all cards in the controller's Deck with the same name as the activated card.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: We all know how bad Chain Destruction is so having one that works on Spells and Traps is equally bad, especially since the activated card still resolves.
DUEA-EN075
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Yang Zing Unleashed
Continuous Trap
All monsters your opponent controls must attack, if able. During either player's Main Phase or Battle Phase: You can send this face-up card from your Spell & Trap Zone to the Graveyard; immediately after this effect resolves, Synchro Summon 1 Synchro Monster, using 1 or more "Yang Zing" monsters you control as Synchro Materials.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: By giving up this card's main benefit, you can Synchro Summon during either player's turn but doing so during your opponent's turn, especially through this card's method isn't very beneficial as you're better off doing so during your own turn so that the main benefit of this can remain active.
DUEA-EN074
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Yang Zing Creation
Continuous Trap
Once per turn, if a monster(s) you control is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can Special Summon 1 "Yang Zing" monster from your Deck. You cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck, except Synchro Monsters.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: You at least get to replace any of your fallen monsters with a new one but losing more than you're bringing out doesn't help you much and you can only Special Summon Synchros while it's face-up.
DUEA-EN073
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Shaddoll Core
Continuous Trap
Special Summon this card as an Effect Monster (Spellcaster-Type/DARK/Level 9/ATK 1450/DEF 1950). (This card is also still a Trap Card.) If Summoned this way, you can substitute this monster for 1 Fusion Material Monster that lists an Attribute, on a "Shaddoll" Fusion Monster Card. If this card is sent to the Graveyard by a card effect: You can target 1 "Shaddoll" Spell/Trap Card in your Graveyard, except "Shaddoll Core"; add it to your hand.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: You can still use the card for whatever else you'd like, making it beneficial for a Rank 9 Xyz Summon if you activate 2 or more copies but as a Fusion substitute, you'd be better off using the monster versions as they're less specific and don't need to be Summoned to obtain their effects.
DUEA-EN072
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Sinister Shadow Games
Normal Trap
Send 1 "Shaddoll" card from your Deck to the Graveyard, then you can change any number of face-down Defense Position "Shaddoll" monsters you control to face-up Defense Position.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Any face down Flip Effect Shaddolls will activate their effects and it doesn't care what Shaddoll monster you send to the Grave but it's useless outside the archtype's Deck.
DUEA-EN071
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Stellarnova Alpha
Counter Trap
When a Spell/Trap Card, or monster effect is activated: Send 1 face-up "tellarknight" monster you control to the Graveyard; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card, then draw 1 card.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Stops any effect when you have a Tellarknight to get rid of and you get to draw 1 card but when it comes down to it, it's not much better than Horn of Heaven.
DUEA-EN070
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Stellarnova Wave
Continuous Trap
Once per turn, during your Main Phase or your opponent's Battle Phase: You can Special Summon 1 "tellarknight" monster from your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: I can see this being another key card for Tellarknights but outside of that, there's nothing out there for it.
DUEA-EN069
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Battleguard Howling
Normal Trap
When a Warrior-Type monster you control is targeted for an attack, or by an opponent's monster effect: Target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; inflict damage to your opponent equal to the original ATK of the face-up monster you targeted with this card, and if you do, return it to the hand.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: Although it also returns the monster to the hand, it hurts your opponent with likely a fair bit of damage and doesn't care about anything regarding that Warrior-Type monster.
DUEA-EN068
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Battleguard Rage
Continuous Trap
Activate this card by targeting 1 Warrior-Type monster you control. It gains 1000 ATK. Monsters destroyed by battle with it are returned to the hand instead of going to the Graveyard. When that monster leaves the field, destroy this card.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: The Warrior gains 1000 ATK and returns the monsters it destroys back to the hand but then it's just waiting to come out again and that's not really what you want.
DUEA-EN067
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Pop-Up
Quick-Play Spell
If your opponent controls a card in their Field Zone and you do not: Activate 1 Field Spell Card from your Deck. You can only activate 1 "Pop-Up" per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It actually would've had more use before the new rule for Field Spells was put into effect as activating this would destroy the other one.
DUEA-EN066
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info The Monarchs Stormforth
Quick-Play Spell
Once during this turn, if you would Tribute a monster(s) you control for a Tribute Summon, you can Tribute 1 monster your opponent controls as if you controlled it. You can only activate 1 "The Monarchs Stormforth" per turn. During the turn you activate this card, you cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: The all around better Soul Exchange as it's a Quick-Play Spell and lets you have your Battle Phase afterwards. Not Special Summoning from the Extra Deck or activating multiple copies is understandable and are minor setbacks.
DUEA-EN065
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Magical Spring
Quick-Play Spell
Draw a number of cards equal to the number of face-up Spell/Trap Cards your opponent controls, then discard a number of cards equal to the number of face-up Spell/Trap Cards you control. Until the end of your opponent's next turn after this card is activated, Spell/Trap Cards your opponent controls cannot be destroyed (by battle or card effect), also their activation and effects cannot be negated. You can only activate 1 "Magical Spring" per turn.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: You won't likely draw much but will discard at least 1 card (as you control this card) and regardless, your opponent's Spells and Trap are safe from harm until their next turn ends, which is hardly worth it and does not justify activating 1 copy per turn.
DUEA-EN064
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Dracocension
Continuous Spell
Once per turn: You can Tribute 1 Dragon-Type monster that has a Level; Special Summon, from your Deck, 1 Wyrm-Type monster with the same Level as the Tributed monster's original Level, and if you do, any monster destroyed by battle with that monster is shuffled into the Deck instead of going to the Graveyard.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: You trade in your Dragon-Type monster for a Wyrm-Type monster with the same Level and put any monsters it destroys back into the owner's Deck but you'd really be better off banishing it where it's not likely to come back.
DUEA-EN063
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Hymn of Light
Ritual Spell
This card is used to Ritual Summon "Saffira, Queen of Dragons". You must also Tribute monsters from your hand or field whose total Levels equal 6 or more. If a Ritual Monster(s) you control would be destroyed by battle or card effect while this card is in your Graveyard, you can banish this card instead.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: An essential component for Ritual Summoning Saffira and can prevent any Ritual Monster's destruction but without its Ritual Monster, it's a dead draw.
DUEA-EN062
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Yang Zing Prana
Continuous Spell
This card gains these effects, based on the number of different Attributes the "Yang Zing" monsters in your Graveyard have.
● 2 or more: All "Yang Zing" monsters you control gain 500 ATK.
● 3 or more: If a "Yang Zing" monster(s) you control would be destroyed by battle or card effect, you can send this card to the Graveyard instead.
● 4 or more: Your opponent cannot Set monsters. Change all face-up monsters your opponent controls to Attack Position.
● 5 or more: You can send this card to the Graveyard; destroy all cards on the field.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It accumulates effects based on Attributes of your lost Yang Zing monsters if they're all different but it'd be better if it didn't care whether the Attributes were different or not.
DUEA-EN061
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Yang Zing Path
Normal Spell
Target 3 "Yang Zing" monsters in your Graveyard; shuffle all 3 into the Deck, then draw 2 cards. You can only activate 1 "Yang Zing Path" per turn.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It only takes 3 Yang Zings in the Grave for you to be able to use this but you won't likely see that outside a Yang Zing Deck.
DUEA-EN060
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Curse of the Shadow Prison
Field Spell
Each time a "Shaddoll" monster(s) is sent to the Graveyard by a card effect, place 1 Spellstone Counter on this card for each sent monster. All monsters your opponent controls lose 100 ATK for each Spellstone Counter on this card during your opponent's turn only. Each time you Fusion Summon a "Shaddoll" Fusion Monster, you can remove 3 Spellstone Counters from this card to use 1 appropriate face-up monster your opponent controls as 1 of the Fusion Materials.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Although it gets counters for each of your lost Shaddolls, they have to be lost by an effect and it's not only a mere 100 ATK per counter but it's only during your opponent's turn, making Burden of the Mighty the more useful card.
DUEA-EN059
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Shaddoll Fusion
Normal Spell
Fusion Summon 1 "Shaddoll" 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(s) that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, you can also use monsters in your Deck as Fusion Material. You can only activate 1 "Shaddoll Fusion" per turn.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Shaddoll's Polymerization comes with an extra effect that sort of works like Future Fusion in that you use materials from your Deck but that's if your opponent controls an Extra Deck monster such as a Synchro or Xyz Monster.
DUEA-EN058
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Stellarknight Skybridge
Quick-Play Spell
Target 1 "tellarknight" monster you control; Special Summon 1 "tellarknight" monster with a different name from your Deck, and if you do, shuffle the targeted monster into the Deck. While the monster Special Summoned by this effect is face-up on the field, you cannot Special Summon monsters, except "tellarknight" monsters. You can only activate 1 "Satellarknight Skybridge" per turn.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: You're not changing the number of monsters you have on the field and even swapping out the old one for one that you need puts you at risk to lose that monster by an opponent's effect.
DUEA-EN057
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Stellarknight Alpha
Equip Spell
Equip only to a "tellarknight" monster you control. It gains 500 ATK and DEF, also it is unaffected by your opponent's card effects. If you control a face-up monster that is not a "tellarknight" monster, destroy this card.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: There aren't very many strong tellarknight monsters out there thus far but for the few that are strong, this makes them stronger and more likely to survive.
DUEA-EN056
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Feast of the Wild LV5
Normal Spell
Special Summon up to 2 Level 5 Warrior-Type monsters from your hand and/or Graveyard, but their effects are negated, also they cannot attack.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: You have a few options for where your Level 5 Warriors are Special Summoned but whatever you bring out, they must be Level 5 and don't have much freedom.
DUEA-EN055
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Hippo Carnival
Quick-Play Spell
Special Summon 3 "Hippo Tokens" (Beast-Type/EARTH/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0), but they cannot be Tributed. You cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck while a "Hippo Token" is in a Monster Zone. After this card is activated, your opponent cannot target monsters for attacks for the rest of this turn, except "Hippo Tokens".
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Clearly a waterdown Scapegoat as it's MUCH more restrictive on what you can do and doesn't Special Summon as many tokens. The only plus it has over Scapegoat is it makes them the attack targets.
DUEA-EN054
Card Type: Xyz Monster
Card Info Castiel, the Skyblaster Musketeer
WIND / Winged Beast-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK 2000 / DEF 1500
2 Level 4 monsters
You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 face-up monster on the field; change it to face-down Defense Position. You can detach 2 Xyz Materials from this card, then target 1 other face-up card on the field; shuffle it into the Deck. You can only use 1 "Castel, the Skyblaster Musketeer" effect per turn, and only once that turn.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It comes with two effects, each costing materials to affect a monster on the field and while they aren't terrible, they aren't great and neither are its stats.
DUEA-EN053*
Card Type: Xyz Monster
Card Info Stellarknight Delteros
LIGHT / Warrior-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK 2500 / DEF 2100
3 Level 4 monsters
While this card has Xyz Material, your opponent cannot activate cards or effects when you Normal or Special Summon a monster(s). Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 card on the field; destroy it. If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 "tellarknight" monster from your hand or Deck.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: A pretty strong Rank 4 that needs 3 materials but is guaranteed to hit the field without any interaction and protects anything else you Summon too but this only works while it has Xyz Material and of course is best used with its friends.
DUEA-EN052
Card Type: Synchro Monster
Card Info Samsara, Dragon of Rebirth
DARK / Dragon-Type Synchro / Level 5 / ATK 100 / DEF 2600
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
If this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, or if this card you control is sent to your Graveyard by an opponent's card effect: You can target 1 monster in either player's Graveyard, except "Samsara, Dragon of Rebirth"; Special Summon it. You can only use this effect of "Samsara, Dragon of Rebirth" once per turn.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 3

LIGHT / Wyrm-Type Synchro / Level 8 / ATK 2300 / DEF 2600

When this card is Synchro Summoned: You can target cards on the field, up to the number of different original Attributes of the Wyrm-Type monsters used for the Synchro Summon of this card; shuffle them into the Deck. Once per turn: You can target 1 card you control and 1 Level 4 or lower monster in your Graveyard; destroy that card on the field, and if you do, Special Summon that other monster from the Graveyard.

Comments: It's better off in Defense Mode for when bigger threats arrive, especially since its other effect destroys one of your own cards to Special Summon a Level 4 or less monster from your Graveyard and the first effect won't likely return much given its archtype-specific.

You can Ritual Summon this card with "Hymn of Light". During the End Phase, if this card was Ritual Summoned this turn, or if a LIGHT monster was sent from the hand or Deck to the Graveyard this turn while this card was face-up on the field: You can activate 1 of these effects;
● Draw 2 cards, then discard 1 card.

● Add 1 LIGHT monster from your Graveyard to your hand.
You can only use 1 "Saffira, Queen of Dragons" effect per turn, and only once that turn.

If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 "Shaddoll" Spell/Trap Card in your Graveyard; add it to your hand.

Comments: Probably one of the better Instant Fusion targets as it cannot be destroyed by your opponent's effects but it also prevents either player from Special Summoning more than once per turn so once this guy is out, you'll have to Normal Summon to be able to get any other Summons out that turn.

Comments: In today's metagame, few monsters will be in your opponent's Extra Deck that have less than 2000 ATK and even when they do, you probably won't gain much so that leaves this guy to get 1000 ATK but that's a one time effect as it has to be Normal Summoned to use its effect.
