Comments: Stick to Magic Jammer.
GLD1-EN044
Skill Drain
Continuous Trap
Pay 1000 Life Points. The effects of all face-up Effect Monsters are negated.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Stop cards like Man-Eater and even Jinzo (if activated before Jinzo's summoning) but Dark Ruler Ha Des does the job better without cost.

Each player sends monsters they control to the Graveyard so that they only control 1 Type of monster. Each player can only control 1 Type of monster.
COMMON

Comments: Run Dark Ruler Ha Des instead.
GLD1-EN041
Needle Ceiling
Normal Trap
Activate only when there are 4 or more monsters on the field. Destroy all face-up monsters.

GLD1-EN040
Torrential Tribute
Normal Trap
Activate only when a monster is Summoned. Destroy all monsters on the field.
GOLD RARE
Rating: 4
Comments: Same as GLD1-EN039's comments.  
GLD1-EN039
Mirror Force
Normal Trap
Activate only when an opponent's monster declares an attack. Destroy all Attack Position monsters your opponent controls.
GOLD RARE
Rating: 4
Comments: One of the most powerful unbanned Trap Cards in the game and well worthy of being a Gold Rare!
GLD1-EN038
Crush Card Virus
Normal Trap
Tribute 1 DARK monster with 1000 or less ATK. Check all monsters your opponent controls, your opponent's hand, and all cards they draw (until the end of your opponent's 3rd turn after this card's activation), and destroy all monsters with 1500 or more ATK.
GOLD RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: This card amazingly is quite expensive (most likely for being hard to pull, not because of its effect) but despite being expensive, it isn't that great a card since you need a DARK monster with no more than 1000 ATK to activate it.
GLD1-EN037
Pandemonium
Field Spell
Neither player has to pay Life Points during the Standby Phase for "Archfiend" monsters. Each time a player's "Archfiend" monster(s) is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, except by battle, that player can add 1 "Archfiend" monster from their Deck to their hand that is a lower Level than the destroyed card.

Comments: Same as GLD1-EN035's comments.
GLD1-EN036
Mist Body
Equip Spell
A monster equipped with this card cannot be destroyed by battle. (Damage calculation is applied normally.)
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Protects your weak monsters but overall isn't that great.
GLD1-EN035
Non-Spellcasting Area
Continuous Spell
All face-up Monster Cards, except for Effect Monsters, are unaffected by the effects of Spell Cards (other than this card).

GLD1-EN034
Offerings to the Doomed
Quick-Play Spell
Destroy 1 face-up monster. Skip your next Draw Phase.

Comments: Same as GLD1-EN025's comments.
GLD1-EN033
Brain Control
Normal Spell
Pay 800 Life Points. Select 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. Take control of it until the End Phase.
GOLD RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: Paying 800 LPs means very little if you're just going to tribute the monster and summon a stronger one for even more damage than you paid!
GLD1-EN032
Reinforcement of the Army
Normal Spell
Add 1 Level 4 or lower Warrior-Type monster from your Deck to your hand.
GOLD RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: Search out the best to pummel the rest!
GLD1-EN031
Heavy Storm
Normal Spell
Destroy all Spell and Trap Cards on the field.
GOLD RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: Here is a card worthy of being a Gold Rare (as is Chimeratech) as it clears the field of any hidden surprises your opponent may have, although it includes yours too and that's why it's rating is only 3 stars.
