Card Type: Xyz Monster
Card Info Paleozoic Opabinia
WATER / Aqua-Type Xyz / Rank 2 / ATK 0 / DEF 2400
2 Level 2 monsters
This card is unaffected by other monsters' effects. You can activate "Paleozoic" Trap Cards from your hand. If this card has a Trap Card as Xyz Material: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; add 1 "Paleozoic" Trap Card from your Deck to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Paleozoic Opabinia" once per turn.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It is a bit more playable but I wouldn't recommend doing anything with it that involves those Pittifulic Trap Cards from earlier.
INOV-EN098
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Paleozoic Leanchoilia
Normal Trap
Target 1 banished card; return it to the Graveyard. Once per Chain, when a Trap Card is activated while this card is in your Graveyard: Special Summon this card as a Normal Monster (Aqua-Type/WATER/
Level 2/ATK 1200/DEF 0). (This card is NOT treated as a Trap Card.) If Summoned this way, this card is unaffected by monster effects, also banish it when it leaves the field.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: With just one card left after this that is the obvious culprit behind these being created, it had better be more playable than these.
INOV-EN097
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Paleozoic Marrella
Normal Trap
Send 1 Trap Card from your Deck to the Graveyard. Once per Chain, when a Trap Card is activated while this card is in your Graveyard: Special Summon this card as a Normal Monster (Aqua-Type/
WATER/Level 2/ATK 1200/DEF 0). (This card is NOT treated as a Trap Card.) If Summoned this way, this card is unaffected by monster effects, also banish it when it leaves the field.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: At least my ratings will be easy but I won't have much to say beyond what has already been said about these.
INOV-EN096
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Paleozoic Dinomischus
Normal Trap
Target 1 face-up card on the field; discard 1 card, and if you do, banish it. Once per Chain, when a Trap Card is activated while this card is in your Graveyard: Special Summon this card as a Normal Monster (Aqua-Type/WATER/Level 2/ATK 1200/DEF 0). (This card is NOT treated as a Trap Card.) If Summoned this way, this card is unaffected by monster effects, also banish it when it leaves the field.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: I hope this won't be a consistant pattern for sets to come because this is going to be tiresome after a while.
INOV-EN095
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Paleozoic Eldonia
Normal Trap
Target 1 face-up monster on the field; it gains 500 ATK and DEF until the end of this turn. Once per Chain, when a Trap Card is activated while this card is in your Graveyard: Special Summon this card as a Normal Monster (Aqua-Type/ WATER/Level 2/ATK 1200/DEF 0). (This card is NOT treated as a Trap Card.) If Summoned this way, this card is unaffected by monster effects, also banish it when it leaves the field.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: They're back to take up the remaining slots of this booster set and not proving to be any better than the previous ones released.
INOV-EN094
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Mare Mare
WATER / Wyrm-Type Tuner / Level 7 / ATK 2100 / DEF 1400
Cannot be Special Summoned, except by the effect of a Wyrm-Type monster. During your Main Phase: You can reduce this card's Level by 1, and if you do, Special Summon 1 "Mini Mare Mare Token" (Wyrm-Type/WATER/Level 1/ATK 300/DEF 200). You can only use this effect of "Mare Mare" up to thrice per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Though it's a Tuner, you'll get up to three tokens out of it at a cost of reducing its Level to 4 but that'll still let you Synchro Summon a Level 7 Synchro Monster. Unfortunately, you can't Special Summmon it unless with one of its friends' effects.
INOV-EN093
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Dino-Sewing
EARTH / Fiend / Level 4 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
Cannot be destroyed by battle. If this card is targeted for an attack: This card gains 1000 ATK and DEF. If this card attacked, after damage calculation: The ATK gained from this effect returns to 0.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: A new monster that can survive any attacks thrown at it and power up a bit too but that ATK part of the boost will be lost if it ever declares an attack.
INOV-EN092
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Caninetaur
FIRE / Beast-Warrior / Level 3 / ATK 1500 / DEF 200
Once per turn, if this card battles an opponent's monster, during damage calculation (in either player's turn): You can send 1 Beast, Beast-Warrior, or Winged Beast-Type monster from your hand or Deck to the Graveyard, and if you do, this card gains ATK equal to the sent monster's Level x 100, until the end of the Battle Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: It looks more formidable than it actually is because that ATK boost is going to be dismal even with high-Level monsters and his stats are pretty poor to begin with.
INOV-EN091
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Constellar Tempest
Continuous Spell
During your End Phase: You can target 2 "Constellar" Xyz Monsters you control that have Xyz Material; detach all Xyz Materials from both Xyz Monsters, and if you do, halve your opponent's LP. You can only use this effect of "Constellar Tempest" once per Duel. Once per turn, during your Standby Phase: You can target 1 "Constellar" Xyz Monster you control and 1 "Constellar" monster in your Graveyard; attach that monster from the Graveyard to that Xyz Monster as an Xyz Material.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: I would highly not recommend using the 1st effect because while it halves your opponent's LP, your Constellar Xyz Monsters aren't going to be able to use their effects without having to use the 2nd effect. Plus that first effect can only be used once per Duel. The 2nd effect is the only effect that makes this card's rating as high as it is.
INOV-EN090
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Saber Reflection
Quick-Play Spell
When you take battle or effect damage while you control an "X-Saber" monster: Gain LP equal to the damage you took, and if you do, inflict the same amount of damage to your opponent, then you can add 1 "Saber" Spell/Trap Card or "Gottoms" card from your Deck to your hand. You can only activate 1 "Saber Reflection" per turn.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: You'll have to take damage and control an X-Saber at the same time but that shouldn't be too difficult given the Deck's swarming capabilities and then you'll hurt your opponent back while getting support from your Deck, though still kinda situational.
INOV-EN089
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info SPYRAL Resort
Field Spell
Your opponent cannot target other "SPYRAL" cards you control with card effects. Once per turn: You can add 1 "SPYRAL" monster from your Deck to your hand. Once per turn, during your End Phase, shuffle 1 monster from your Graveyard into the Deck or destroy this card.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: You'll be able to get a SPYRAL monster right away but you can quickly lose this card's benefits once your Graveyard is void of monsters.
INOV-EN088
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info SPYRAL MISSION - Assault
Continuous Spell
Destroy this card during your 3rd End Phase after activation. Once per turn, if a "SPYRAL" monster you control destroys a monster by battle, or if you destroy a card(s) on the field with a "SPYRAL" monster's effect you control: You can draw 1 card. You can banish this card from your Graveyard; Special Summon 1 "SPYRAL" monster from your hand.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It self-destructs after 3 of your End Phases but will help give you extra cards for each monster your SPYRAL monsters take down, though they aren't all very strong.
INOV-EN087
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info SPYRAL Master Plan
DARK / Spellcaster / Level 7 / ATK 1200 / DEF 2800
Once per turn: You can add 1 "SPYRAL MISSION" card from your Deck to your hand. If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard: You can add 1 "SPYRAL Resort" and 1 "SPYRAL" monster from your Deck to your hand, except "SPYRAL Master Plan". You can only use this effect of "SPYRAL Master Plan" once per turn.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Her missions are few and far between so far so one can't really consider this bad just yet but that also means she can't be considered great either.
INOV-EN086
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Charming Resort Staff
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 3 / ATK 300 / DEF 200
When an attack is declared involving a "SPYRAL Super Agent" you control and an opponent's face-up monster: You can change the ATK of the opponent's monster to 0. If this card is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can Special Summon 1 "SPYRAL Super Agent" from your Deck. If a "SPYRAL Super Agent" you control is destroyed by battle or sent to the Graveyard while this card is in your Graveyard: You can banish this card from your Graveyard; return 1 "SPYRAL Super Agent" from your Graveyard to your hand.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Surprising Konami had to resort to monsters this pitiful just to help sustain a new archetype they created. Her charm won't be helping you out at all.
INOV-EN085
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Subterror Behemoth Burrowing
Normal Trap
You can banish 1 "Subterror" monster from your Graveyard; for the rest of this turn, face-down monsters you control cannot be destroyed by card effects, and your opponent cannot target them with card effects. If this card on the field is destroyed by a card effect: You can add 1 "Subterror" monster from your Deck to your hand. You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 1 "Subterror" monster you control; change it to face-down Defense Position.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It saves your Subterrors from card effects but not battle and since most of them have rather low DEF, your efforts are practically wasted.
INOV-EN084
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Subterror Behemoth Ultramafus
EARTH / Pyro-Type Flip / Level 12 / ATK 3000 / DEF 1800
FLIP: You can change all other face-up monsters on the field to face-down Defense Position. You can only use this effect of "Subterror Behemoth Ultramafus" once per turn.
When a face-up monster you control is flipped face-down, if you control no face-up monsters: You can Special Summon this card from your hand in Defense Position. Once per turn: You can change this card to face-down Defense Position.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: The effect is pretty powerful and can benefit you if your monsters are better off face-down but as a Level 12 monster and having to be face-down to get the most out of the effect hurts its rating.
INOV-EN083
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Subterror Behemoth Stygokraken
EARTH / Sea Serpent-Type Flip / Level 5 / ATK 1400 / DEF 2600
FLIP: You can target Set cards on the field, equal to the number of "Subterror Behemoth" monsters you control; destroy them. You can only use this effect of "Subterror Behemoth Stygokraken" once per turn.
When a face-up monster you control is flipped face-down, if you control no face-up monsters: You can Special Summon this card from your hand in Defense Position. Once per turn: You can change this card to face-down Defense Position.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Much like the original Rock-Type monsters that could flip themselves face-down, this guy can too and his stats aren't too bad for its Level but you may be wasting a Tribute to get it out unless you can bring him out by his effect.
INOV-EN082
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Subterror Nemesis Archer
EARTH / Fairy / Level 3 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1400
At the start of the Damage Step, if this card attacks an opponent's face-down Defense Position monster, and you control another "Subterror" monster: You can shuffle that opponent's monster into the Deck. If this card on the field is destroyed by battle or card effect and sent to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 "Subterror" monster from your Deck in face-up or face-down Defense Position. You can only use each effect of "Subterror Nemesis Archer" once per turn.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Whatever you bring out can be used to defend your LP but that's about it as you'll have to wait until the new monster is attacked or until your next turn to be able to use the effect. This guy isn't all that strong on its own and won't do anything until you have one of its friends to join it.
INOV-EN081
Card Type: Synchro Monster
Card Info Vermillion Dragon Mech
FIRE / Machine-Type Synchro / Level 9 / ATK 2700 / DEF 1800
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
Once per turn: You can banish 1 Tuner from your hand, field, or Graveyard, then target 1 card on the field; destroy it. If this Synchro Summoned card is destroyed by card effect and sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 of your banished Tuners; add it to your hand.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: A generic Synchro that'll take more effort to get out being a Level 9 monster and requires you to banish  a Tuner to get rid of a threat but you won't be getting them back as easily if the effect is used after it's been revived from the Graveyard.
INOV-EN080
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Present Card
Normal Trap
Your opponent discards their entire hand, then draws 5 cards. You can only activate 1 "Present Card" per turn.
SHORT PRINT COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: A one-sided and slower Morphing Jar but it's still kinda risky since you might make your opponent's hand better.
INOV-EN079
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Summon Gate
Continuous Trap
Each player can Special Summon a maximum of 3 monsters from the Extra Deck each turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Won't stop Pendulum Summons except ones placed face-up on the Extra Deck but if you don't do much Special Summoning from there anyway, this may prove more useful to you.
INOV-EN078
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Dimensional Barrier
Normal Trap
Declare 1 monster card type (Ritual, Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, or Pendulum); for the rest of this turn, neither player can Special Summon monsters of the declared type, also negate the effects of all monsters of that type while they are on the field. You can only activate 1 "Dimensional Barrier" per turn.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Only useful if you have a strong disdain for Special Summons because that's all this card works against, though you're better off negating the Special Summon with Black Horn of Heaven in most cases.
INOV-EN077
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Nine Pillars of Yang Zing
Counter Trap
When a Spell/Trap Card, or monster effect, is activated, and you control a "Yang Zing" card: Negate the activation, and if you do, shuffle that card into the Deck, then destroy 1 other "Yang Zing" card you control.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: You don't even have to control a Yang Zing monster but since the support cards rely on them, you kinda do but this is also a free activation like Graydle Combat and will then let you bring out another Yang Zing by destroying one you already have out.
INOV-EN076
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Qlife's End
Normal Trap
Special Summon this card as an Effect Monster (Machine-Type/EARTH/Level 4/ATK 1800/DEF 1000). (This card is NOT treated as a Trap Card.) During the turn this card was Summoned this way, "Qli" Spell/Trap Cards you control cannot be destroyed by card effects. If Summoned this way, this card can be treated as 3 Tributes for the Tribute Summon of an "Apoqliphort" monster.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: A stronger Trap Monster than Embodiment of Apophis and it won't be harmed by Jinzo or Royal Decree, not to mention it could prove useful for Apoqliphort Towers but the effect that protects itself and other Qli Spell/Trap cards from destruction lasts only one turn.
INOV-EN075
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Graydle Combat
Counter Trap
When a Spell/Trap Card, or monster effect, that targets exactly 1 "Graydle" monster you control (and no other cards) is activated: Activate 1 of these effects;
● The activated effect becomes "Destroy that monster".
● Negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: I have seen some decent Graydle monsters and this doesn't cost you anything to activate it but it won't work unless only the Graydle monster is being threatened.
INOV-EN074
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info PSY-Frame Accelerator
Continuous Trap
Once per turn: You can pay 500 LP, then target 1 "PSY-Frame" monster you control; banish it until your next Standby Phase. Once per turn, if another face-up "PSY-Frame" card you control leaves the field (except during the Damage Step): You can Special Summon 1 "PSY-Frame" monster from your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Driver is the only good PSY-Frame monster to my recollection but since this can mean there's room for better ones later on, I'll still rate this 2 out of 5.
INOV-EN073
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Burnout
Normal Trap
Banish 1 face-up "Chemicritter" monster you control; Special Summon 2 "Chemicritter" monsters from your Deck, with different names from each other. When your opponent declares a direct attack, except the turn this card was sent to the Graveyard: You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 1 of your banished Gemini monsters; Special Summon it, and if you do, it becomes an Effect Monster and gains its effects. You can only activate 1 "Burnout" per turn.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: While you'll have to use Chemicritters for the first effect, the last effect is much less strict so you could have both this and the Gemini monster in your Graveyard without using any Chemicritters at all.
INOV-EN072
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Crystron Impact
Normal Trap
Target 1 of your banished "Crystron" monsters; Special Summon it, and if you do, if your opponent controls any face-up monsters, change their DEF to 0. During either player's turn, except the turn this card was sent to the Graveyard, when a card or effect is activated that targets a "Crystron" monster you control: You can banish this card from your Graveyard; negate that effect.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: There's no restraints on the banished Crystron you can Special Summon but changing the DEF of opponent's monsters to 0 is pretty well pointless unless they're in Defense Mode. The last effect isn't too bad either though.
INOV-EN071
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Crystron Entry
Normal Trap
Special Summon 2 "Crystron" Tuners (1 from your hand and 1 from your Graveyard). During either player's turn, except the turn this card was sent to the Graveyard: You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 1 "Crystron" monster you control; send 1 "Crystron" monster from your Deck to the Graveyard whose Level is different from that monster, and if you do, that monster becomes the Level of that monster sent to the Graveyard. You can only use this effect of "Crystron Entry" once per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: You probably can't use both Tuners as Synchro Material for the same Synchro Monster but you'll have other options with this card's effect or otherwise.
INOV-EN070
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Fraud Freeze
Continuous Trap
Once per turn, when your opponent Special Summons a monster(s) from the hand (except during the Damage Step): You can return to the hand all monsters your opponent controls that were Special Summoned from the hand. If neither player controls a "Flower Cardian" Synchro Monster, send this card to the Graveyard.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: It was looking good until it mentioned that one of the two players has to control a Flower Cardian Synchro Monster, which pretty well leaves this for Flower Cardian Decks only.
INOV-EN069
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Cipher Bit
Normal Trap
Target 1 "Galaxy-Eyes" or "Cipher" Xyz Monster you control; attach this card to it as an Xyz Material, and if you do, the next time it would be destroyed by battle or card effect this turn, it is not destroyed.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: This is better given that it becomes Xyz Material to your Galaxy-Eyes or Cipher Xyz Monster and will prevent its destruction from the next battle or card effect but still not much better.
INOV-EN068
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Double Cipher
Normal Trap
If your opponent controls a monster with the highest ATK on the field (even if tied): Target 1 "Galaxy-Eyes" or "Cipher" Xyz Monster you control that has Xyz Material; detach all Xyz Materials from that Xyz Monster, and if you do, Special Summon 1 monster from your Extra Deck with the same name as that Xyz Monster.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: The only good thing you get out of that is a 2nd copy of the Xyz Monster you robbed of Xyz Materials and this is also after you wait until your opponent has the strongest monster out, making this an absolutely horrible idea.
INOV-EN067
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info King's Synchro
Normal Trap
When your opponent's monster declares an attack on a Synchro Monster you control: Negate the attack, then you can apply the rest of this card's effect. Banish that Synchro Monster you control and 1 Tuner from your Graveyard, and if you do, Special Summon from your Extra Deck 1 Synchro Monster whose Level equals the total Levels the banished monsters had. (This Special Summon is treated as a Synchro Summon.)
SUPER RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: This involves using your opponent's Battle Phase to Synchro Summon but it's a big risk since you'll have very few ways of bringing out other monsters should your new one get destroyed. You're better off waiting for your own turn.
INOV-EN066
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Quarantine
Continuous Spell
Once per turn, during the End Phase: You can target 1 Set Spell/Trap Card your opponent controls; reveal it, then return it to its original position.
SHORT PRINT COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Why is this short printed? Seeing 1 face-down card your opponent has isn't going to be much of a game changer, especially if you have no answers to it.
INOV-EN065
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Pot of Acquisitiveness
Quick-Play Spell
Target 3 banished monsters; shuffle all 3 into the Deck, then draw 1 card. You can only activate 1 "Pot of Acquisitiveness" per turn.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: The latest Pot card has arrived and it has uses for both players' banished monsters but while only you draw the 1 card, you won't be activating another copy that turn.
INOV-EN064
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Sprite's Blessing
Ritual Spell
This card can be used to Ritual Summon any LIGHT Ritual Monster. You must also Tribute monsters from your hand or field whose total Levels exactly equal the Level of the Ritual Monster you Ritual Summon.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Finally we get a LIGHT version of Dark Contract with the Abyss but this is literally no better than that card.
INOV-EN063
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info "A" Cell Recombination Device
Quick-Play Spell
Target 1 face-up monster on the field; send 1 "Alien" monster from your Deck to the Graveyard, and if you do, place A-Counters on that monster equal to the Level of the sent monster. During your Main Phase, except the turn this card was sent to the Graveyard: You can banish this card from your Graveyard; add 1 "Alien" monster from your Deck to your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Aliens continue to get support even though their invasion was nothing more than a big dud as no one is using them today and one lone new support card isn't going to bring them back.
INOV-EN062
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Tellarknight Genesis
Quick-Play Spell
Destroy Spell/Trap Cards on the field equal to the number of other "tellarknight" cards you control.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Basically, it's 'tellarknights' version of R - Righteous Justice, which is not quite as versatile as this, nor does it have that many strong Main Deck monsters.
INOV-EN061
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Igknights Unite
Quick-Play Spell
Target 1 "Igknight" card you control; destroy it, and if you do, Special Summon 1 "Igknight" monster from your Deck. You can only activate 1 "Igknights Unite" per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: If you need more monsters, this'll let you get one at a cost of destroying another one, though you'd be better off destroying one of your activated Igknights.
INOV-EN060
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Red-Eyes Insight
Normal Spell
Send 1 "Red-Eyes" monster from your hand or Deck to the Graveyard; add 1 "Red-Eyes" Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand, except "Red-Eyes Insight". You can only activate 1 "Red-Eyes Insight" per turn.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: The suppoort for Red-Eyes isn't entirely terrible but you still don't have a whole lot to pick from and will lose a Red-Eyes monster from your Deck in the process.
INOV-EN059
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Catalyst Field
Field Spell
Each turn, 1 Level 5 or higher Gemini monster you Normal Summon can be Summoned without Tributing. During your Main Phase, you can Normal Summon 1 Gemini monster in addition to your Normal Summon/Set. (You can only gain this effect once per turn.) Once per turn: You can target 1 card your opponent controls; banish 1 Gemini monster you control, that is treated as an Effect Monster and has gained its effects, until your opponent's End Phase, and if you do, destroy that card.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: This can allow you to bring out your Deck's strongest Gemini monster with its bonus effect, though I wouldn't recommend using the other effect.
INOV-EN058
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Fullmetalfoes Fusion
Quick-Play Spell
Fusion Summon 1 "Metalfoes" Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or field as Fusion Materials.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Most Fusion Summoning cards are not Quick-Play Spells but since this offers nothing else, I can't rate it any higher.
INOV-EN057
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Crystolic Potential
Field Spell
All "Crystron" monsters you control gain 300 ATK and DEF. Once per turn, during the End Phase: You can draw cards equal to the number of "Crystron" Synchro Monsters you Synchro Summoned this turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It'll help replenish your hand but that requires you to Synchro Summon at least once but the ATK and DEF boost is pretty poor.
INOV-EN056
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Super Koi Koi
Normal Spell
Excavate the top 3 cards of your Deck and Special Summon as many "Flower Cardian" monsters among them as possible, ignoring their Summoning conditions, but their Levels become 2 and they have their effects negated. Banish the remaining cards, face-down, and if you do, lose 1000 LP for each. You can banish this card from your Graveyard and Tribute 1 monster; Special Summon 1 "Flower Cardian" monster from your hand, ignoring its Summoning conditions. You can only activate 1 "Super Koi Koi" per turn.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Even with Flower Cardians, this card is quite risky because you'll probably draw it before you've arrnaged your Deck's top cards to get Flower Cardians on top, which'll mean you'll be down at least 1000 LP just for using this and the other effect is going to cost you more than you'll get back.
INOV-EN055
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Flower Stacking
Normal Spell
Choose 3 "Flower Cardian" monsters with different names from your Deck, and place them on top of your Deck in any order. During your Main Phase, except the turn this card was sent to the Graveyard: You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 1 "Flower Cardian" monster in your Graveyard; add it to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Flower Stacking" once per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: This can help get the Flower Cardians so you'll have a better chance at getting them out on the field but there are also more generic versions of this like Spellbook Organization.
INOV-EN054
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info The Phantom Knights' Rank-Up-Magic Launch
Quick-Play Spell
During the Main Phase: Target 1 DARK Xyz Monster you control with no Xyz Materials; Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 DARK Xyz Monster that is 1 Rank higher than that monster you control, by using it as the Xyz Material, and if you do, attach this card to it as additional Xyz Material. (This Special Summon is treated as an Xyz Summon. Xyz Materials attached to it also become Xyz Materials on the Summoned monster.) During your Main Phase: You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 1 DARK Xyz Monster you control; attach 1 "The Phantom Knights" monster from your hand to that monster as Xyz Material.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Thankfully, I can use it on any DARK Xyz Monster and not just The Phantom Knights but you will need a The Phantom Knights monster to attach as Xyz Material for the last effect though.
INOV-EN053
Card Type: Spell Card
Card Info Amazing Pendulum
Normal Spell
If you have no cards in your Pendulum Zones: Add 2 face-up "Magician" Pendulum Monsters with different names from your Extra Deck to your hand. You can only activate 1 "Amazing Pendulum" per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: The best choices are Timegazer and Stargazer as they'll give you the widest range for Pendulum Summoning but they have to be already face-up on your Extra Deck.
INOV-EN052
Card Type: Xyz Monster
Card Info Toadally Awesome
WATER / Aqua-Type Xyz / Rank 2 / ATK 2200 / DEF 0

Once per turn, during the Standby Phase: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; Special Summon 1 "Frog" monster from your Deck. Once per turn, during either player's turn, when your opponent activates a Spell/Trap Card, or monster effect: You can send 1 Aqua-Type monster from your hand or face-up from your field to the Graveyard; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card, then you can Set it to your field. If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 WATER monster in your Graveyard; add it to your hand.

Comments: Perhaps Konami's way of trying to rejuvenate Frogs when they've lost their most powerful combos to the great Banned List but I don't think it does much for them since it costs you resources from your hand or field just to stop effects and then your opponent will be aware of the card you just took from them. The last effect is at least more generic but that DEF is going to cost it and you eventually.

All face-up monsters on the field become DARK. You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card and discard 1 card; Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 LIGHT "tellarknight" Xyz Monster by using this face-up card you control as the Xyz Material, also you cannot Xyz Summon other monsters for the rest of this turn. (This is treated as an Xyz Summon. Xyz Materials attached to this card also become Xyz Materials on the Summoned monster.) This effect can be activated during either player's turn, if you have 7 or more "tellarknight" monsters with different names in your Graveyard.

Comments: Its ATK and DEF are as weak as they possibly can be but much like Relinquished and Thousand-Eyes Restrict, this guy can snatch monsters and gain their ATK, though only for its DEF. I'm not so sure the 2nd effect is going to be worthwhile though since Metalfoes Fusions tend to be somewhat specific.

Comments: Unfortunately, the ATK gain is just for the turn it hits the field and that's only if your opponent controls a Special Summoned monster. Furthermore, the 2nd effect requires your opponent to control a Level 5 or higher monster just to adapt that monster's name and effects. The only real plus to using this is the very last effect, which has a higher chance of success.

During your opponent's Main Phase or Battle Phase: You can Special Summon 1 non-Tuner monster from your hand, but it has its effects negated (if any), and if you do, immediately after this effect resolves, Synchro Summon 1 Machine-Type Synchro Monster using only that monster and this card (this is a Quick Effect). You can only use this effect of "Crystron Quan" once per turn.

Comments: You'd be better off just Special Summoning the non-Tuner because Synchro Summoning won't leave you with much to defend you, not to mention you cannot attack with it either and are limited to Machine-Type monster Synchros.

Card Info Flower Cardian Peony with Butterfly
DARK / Warrior-Type Tuner / Level 6 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1000
Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must first be Special Summoned (from your hand) by Tributing 1 "Flower Cardian" monster, except "Flower Cardian Peony with Butterfly". If this card is Special Summoned: Draw 1 card, and if you do, show it, then, if it is a "Flower Cardian" monster, look at the top 3 cards of your opponent's Deck, then place them all on the top or bottom of the Deck in any order. Otherwise, send it to the Graveyard. When this card is used as Synchro Material, you can treat it and all other Synchro Materials (that have a Level) as Level 2 monsters.

Comments: Though it too has the same lousy summning requirements and gamble effect, it is also a Tuner monster and can treat the other monsters as Level 2, which can be helpful.

Comments: Really? A Level 10 monster that is literally a carbon copy of Clover with Boar? It should remain on the ground with all other leaves this time of year as it's no good in anyone's Deck.

Card Info Flower Cardian Clover with Boar
DARK / Warrior / Level 7 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1000
Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must first be Special Summoned (from your hand) by Tributing 1 "Flower Cardian" monster, except "Flower Cardian Clover with Boar".

Comments: A waste of a Tribute to bring out this pitiful excuse of a monster, especially since the only effect you get is a risky game of chance.

Card Info Cipher Mirror Knight
LIGHT / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
When a "Cipher" monster you control is destroyed by battle and sent to your Graveyard: You can discard this card; send 1 card from your hand or field to the Graveyard, and if you do, Special Summon that destroyed monster. During the End Phase, if this card is in the Graveyard because it was sent there this turn: You can add 1 "Cipher" card from your Deck to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Cipher Mirror Knight" once per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Summoning or Setting it is pretty much a last resort because those stats are pitiful and it doesn't offer anything for when it's face-up anyway, though the last effect is pretty slow.

Card Info Cipher Twin Raptor
LIGHT / Machine / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 800
If your opponent controls a face-up monster that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck and you control no monsters, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). You can discard 1 card; Special Summon 1 "Cipher" monster from your hand or Deck, also you cannot Special Summon monsters for the rest of this turn, except "Cipher" monsters. You can only use this effect of "Cipher Twin Raptor" once per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: You'll probably meet this card's requirements to Special Summon itself quite easily given all the Extra Deck heavy Decks that exist these days but you're limited to Special Summoning Cipher monsters for that turn if you bring out one of its friends.

Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Superheavy Samurai Soulpeacemaker
EARTH / Machine / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
You can target 1 "Superheavy Samurai" monster you control; equip this monster from your hand or field to that target.

RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It can help get Big Benkei out, which is still the main powerhouse of the Main Deck monsters with 3500 DEF to use during the Damage Step but its lack of any ATK or DEF makes it quite vulnerable on the field.
INOV-EN008
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Predaplant Squid Drosera
DARK / Plant / Level 2 / ATK 800 / DEF 400
You can send this card from your hand to the Graveyard, then target 1 face-up monster you control; this turn, it can attack all monsters your opponent controls with a Predator Counter, once each. If this face-up card leaves the field: Place 1 Predator Counter on each Special Summoned monster your opponent controls, and if you do, any of those monsters that are Level 2 or higher become Level 1 as long as they have a Predator Counter.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: The counters themselves won't do much to your opponent's monsters but have them on your opponent's monsters and this won't be too bad.

Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Predaplant Moray Nepenthes
DARK / Plant / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1000
This card gains 200 ATK for each Predator Counter on the field. When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle: You can equip that monster to this card. Once per turn: You can target 1 Monster Card equipped to this card by this card's effect; destroy it, and if you do, gain LP equal to its original ATK.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It'll likely need help from one of its friends, which are so few at the moment to have a higher chance at equiping itself with its destroyed foe, though only 200 extra ATK will put it among the ranks of regular beatstick monsters.
INOV-EN006
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Predaplant Flytrap
DARK / Plant / Level 2 / ATK 400 / DEF 800
Once per turn: You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; place 1 Predator Counter on it, and if it is Level 2 or higher, it becomes Level 1 as long as it has a Predator Counter. At the start of the Damage Step, when this card battles a monster with an equal or lower Level: You can destroy that monster, then increase this card's Level by the original Level of the destroyed monster.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: The more monsters it destroys by its effect the higher its Level will become and getting the counter on it is quite easy and once it has the counter, it'll always be a lower Level. If the effect is negated though, it's little more than a weed.
INOV-EN005
Card Info Performapal Changeraffe
EARTH / Beast-Type Pendulum / Level 1 / ATK 100 / DEF 500 / Scale 5
When exactly 1 monster you control (and no other cards) is destroyed by battle: You can destroy this card, and if you do, Special Summon that monster destroyed by battle in Attack Position, and if you do that, it cannot be destroyed by battle this turn (even if this card leaves the field).
When this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; while this card is face-up on the field, that face-up monster cannot attack, also negate the effects of that face-up monster while it is on the field.

Rating: 2
Comments: It won't last very long to use or maintain its Monster Text effect but the Pendulum Text effect isn't too bad.

Card Info Performapal Seal Eel
WATER / Fish-Type Pendulum / Level 1 / ATK 100 / DEF 100 / Scale 3
Once per turn: You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; that face-up monster has its effects negated until the end of this turn (even if this card leaves the field).

Comments: The weakest monster in this set so far but if there's a card on the field that's giving you grief, this can help, though not for long.

Card Info Performapal Flip Hippo
EARTH / Beast / Level 3 / ATK 800 / DEF 800
When this card is Normal Summoned: You can Special Summon 1 "Performapal" monster from your hand, but it has its effects negated until the end of this turn. Once per turn: You can change all monsters you control to Defense Position.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It's no stronger than its original counterpart Hip Hippo and isn't as versatile as that monster but may be somewhat usable in Performapal Decks.
INOV-EN002
Card Info Performapal Whim Witch
DARK / Spellcaster-Type Pendulum / Level 3 / ATK 800 / DEF 800 / Scale 4
If your opponent controls a face-up monster that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck and you do not: You can Special Summon this card from your Pendulum Zone. You can only use this effect of "Performapal Whim Witch" once per turn.
This card can be treated as 2 Tributes for the Tribute Summon of a Pendulum Monster.

Comments: With many Decks these days having Extra Decks with monsters that are Summoned from there, this may pretty easily become Tribute fodder but she doesn't really offer anything else decent.

Card Info Dragon Core Hexer
DARK / Dragon-Type Tuner / Level 8 / ATK 2300 / DEF 3000
Many years of dragonslaying have bathed this huntress in countless amounts of blood. Each drop gave her more power, but at a terrible price, as her cursed body now spreads the dragontaint like an epidemic. No village will take her in, and she no longer even remembers what inspired her crusade in the first place.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: She should be thankful she's a Tuner monster because otherwise, I'd have no problem rating her the lowest rating I offer but even that is little consolation given that she really doesn't offer much else.
INOV-EN000
Card Type: Trap Card
Card Info Space Dragster
Continuous Trap
Special Summon this card as an Effect Monster (Machine-Type/Tuner/FIRE/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 1800). (This card is also still a Trap Card.) If Summoned this way, other Tuners you control cannot be destroyed by battle or your opponent's card effects while this card is in the Monster Zone.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It becomes a Tuner monster once activated and doesn't have the worst DEF for its given Level as a monster but doesn't protect itself from destruction and having multiple Tuner monsters out is generally pointless.
