The New Challengers (Page 2)

NECH-EN039
Rescue Hamster
EARTH / Beast-Type Pendulum / Level 4 / ATK 300 / DEF 100 / Scale 5
You can banish this card from your Pendulum Zone; add 2 face-up Pendulum Monster Cards with the same name from your Extra Deck to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Rescue Hamster" once per Duel.
During the turn this card was Normal Summoned, if you have a face-up Level 5 or lower Pendulum Monster Card in your Extra Deck: You can Tribute this card; choose 1 Level 5 or lower Pendulum Monster Card in your Extra Deck, and Special Summon 2 monsters from your Deck with the same name as that card, but their effects are negated, also they are destroyed during the End Phase.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Its Pendulum Text is once per duel so regardless of when you use it and the number of copies in your Deck, they'll only have their Monster Texts to work with and that's sad given what that effect and its Monster Text ask for.
NECH-EN038
Valerifawn, Mystical Beast of the Forest
EARTH / Beast-Type Tuner / Level 2 / ATK 400 / DEF 900
You can discard 1 card, then target 1 Level 2 or lower Beast-Type monster in your Graveyard, except "Valerifawn, Mystical Beast of the Forest"; Special Summon it in Attack Position or face-down Defense Position. You can only use this effect of "Valerifawn, Mystical Beast of the Forest" once per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: I don't know how many decent targets this card has but all I can think of is Ojama, which don't have enough support to warrant using this.
NECH-EN037
Zaborg the Mega Monarch
LIGHT / Thunder / Level 8 / ATK 2800 / DEF 1000
You can Tribute Summon this card by Tributing 1 Tribute Summoned monster. If this card is Tribute Summoned: Target 1 monster on the field; destroy it, then, if it was a LIGHT monster, both players send as many cards as possible from their Extra Deck to the Graveyard, but not more than the original Level/Rank of that destroyed monster. If this card was Tribute Summoned by Tributing a LIGHT monster, add this additional effect.
● You choose the cards your opponent sends to the Graveyard.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Zaborg continues to be the oddball, even in his Mega Monarch form but he does have companions whose effects aren't that great in their Mega Monarch forms like Raiza.
NECH-EN036
Machina Megaform
EARTH / Machine / Level 8 / ATK 2600 / DEF 1500
You can Tribute this card; Special Summon 1 "Machina" monster from your hand or Deck, except "Machina Megaform". If a face-up "Machina Fortress" you control is sent to the Graveyard, while this card is in your Graveyard (except during the Damage Step): You can banish that "Machina Fortress" from the Graveyard; Special Summon this card. You can only use 1 "Machina Megaform" effect per turn, and only once that turn.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It'll get out the clearly better Machina Fortress from your hand or Deck but you end up taking it out of its most favorable environment just to bring this lackluster card back, which isn't all that good, especially with its low stats.
NECH-EN035
Unmasked Dragon
FIRE / Wyrm / Level 3 / ATK 1400 / DEF 1100
When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 Wyrm-Type monster with 1500 or less DEF from your Deck.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: So we finally see the face under the mask but the effect is restrained to itself or its friends.
NECH-EN034
Night Dragolich
DARK / Wyrm / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 0
Change all non-Wyrm-Type Attack Position monsters that were Special Summoned from the Main or Extra Deck to Defense Position. All non-Wyrm-Type monsters that were Special Summoned from the Main or Extra Deck lose DEF equal to their original DEF.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It isn't very strong and doesn't lower ATK at all but also puts any Special Summoned non-Wyrm monsters face-down, which can help but this card doesn't have much use without its friends.
NECH-EN033
Lindbloom
EARTH / Wyrm / Level 4 / ATK 0 / DEF 1800
If a monster you control battles an opponent's monster, during damage calculation: The ATK of each monster in that battle becomes equal to their current DEF, until the end of the Damage Step.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It can help you win battles against monsters you wouldn't normally be able to win and it works during either player's turn and multiple times per turn but also affects your monsters, for better or worse.
NECH-EN032
Jiaotu, Darkness of the Yang Zing
DARK / Wyrm-Type Tuner / Level 2 / ATK 0 / DEF 2000
When this card you control is destroyed by battle or card effect and sent to your Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 "Yang Zing" monster from your Deck in Attack Position, except "Jiaotu, Darkness of the Yang Zing". If you control no other monsters: You can send 2 "Yang Zing" cards from your hand to the Graveyard; Special Summon 1 "Yang Zing" monster with 0 ATK and 1 "Yang Zing" monster with 0 DEF from your Deck, but banish them during the End Phase. You can only use 1 "Jiaotu, Darkness of the Yang Zing" effect per turn, and only once that turn.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It's not only a Tuner with the typical Yang Zing effects but you can also place two of its friends or support cards in the Graveyard and bring out two of its weaker friends yet isn't very good on its own.
NECH-EN031
Taotie, Shadow of the Yang Zing
DARK / Wyrm / Level 5 / ATK 2200 / DEF 0
When this card you control is destroyed by battle or card effect and sent to your Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 "Yang Zing" monster from your Deck in Defense Position, except "Taotie, Shadow of the Yang Zing". You can only use this effect of "Taotie, Shadow of the Yang Zing" once per turn. Once per turn, during your opponent's Main Phase or Battle Phase, you can: Immediately after this effect resolves, Synchro Summon 1 Synchro Monster using only "Yang Zing" monsters you control (this is a Quick Effect). Possession of a Synchro Monster on the field that used this card as a Synchro Material cannot switch.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It isn't a very strong Level 5 monster but comes with all the other prepackaged Yang Zing effects and prevents your opponent from gaining control of the Synchro Monster this card was used for but there isn't much left that could take that Synchro Monster anyway.
NECH-EN030
Shaddoll Hound
DARK / Spellcaster-Type Flip / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 900
FLIP: You can target 1 "Shaddoll" card in your Graveyard; add it to your hand.
If this card is sent to the Graveyard by a card effect: You can target 1 monster on the field; change its battle position. (Flip monsters' effects are not activated at this time, except "Shaddoll" monsters'.) You can only use 1 "Shaddoll Hound" effect per turn, and only once that turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Either way you get something out of its effect but its flip effect is probably the better of the two effects in my book.
NECH-EN029
Satellarknight Betelgeuse
LIGHT / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 700 / DEF 1900
If this card is Summoned: You can target 1 "tellarknight" card in your Graveyard, except "Satellarknight Betelgeuse"; send this card to the Graveyard, and if you do, add that target to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Satellarknight Betelgeuse" once per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It's nowhere near the strength of the real star that this card's name originates from but has some DEF to last a little while and can get one of its friends out of the Graveyard for use later but that isn't all that much either.
NECH-EN028
Satellarknight Procyon
LIGHT / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1300 / DEF 1200
If this card is Summoned: You can send 1 "tellarknight" monster from your hand to the Graveyard, and if you do, draw 1 card. You can only use this effect of "Satellarknight Procyon" once per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Even if you can get it each time it's Summoned, it's just that one time and this card's stats are pitiful for a Level 4 monster.
NECH-EN027
Satellarknight Sirus
LIGHT / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 900
If this card is Summoned: You can target 5 "tellarknight" monsters in your Graveyard; shuffle all 5 into the Deck, then draw 1 card. You can only use this effect of "Satellarknight Sirius" once per turn.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: The effect triggers whenever it's Summoned but you only draw half the number of cards you draw with Pot of Avarice.
NECH-EN026
Apoqliphort Towers
EARTH / Machine / Level 10 / ATK 3000 / DEF 2600
Cannot be Special Summoned. Requires 3 "Qli" monsters to Normal Summon/Set. If this card is Normal Summoned/Set, it is unaffected by Spell/Trap effects and by activated effects from any monster whose original Level/Rank is lower than this card's current Level. All Special Summoned monsters lose 500 ATK and DEF. Once per turn: You can make your opponent send 1 monster from their hand or their side of the field to the Graveyard (their choice).
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: One might call this the boss monster of the archtype but let's face it, it turns on its own kind by weakening them if you Special Summon them by any means, that and you're forced to Tribute 3 of them to bring this guy out. The last effects are only minutely better as your opponent chooses where on the field or in their hand to send the monster from.
NECH-EN025
Qliphort Shell
EARTH / Machine-Type Pendulum / Level 8 / ATK 2800 / DEF 1000 / Scale 9
You cannot Special Summon monsters, except "Qli" monsters. This effect cannot be negated. All monsters your opponent controls lose 300 ATK.
You can Normal Summon this card without Tributing. If this card is Normal Summoned without Tributing or is Special Summoned, its Level becomes 4 and its original ATK becomes 1800. If this card is Normal Summoned/Set, it is unaffected by activated effects from any monster whose original Level/Rank is lower than this card's current Level. If this card is Normal Summoned by Tributing a "Qli" monster(s), it can make a second attack during each Battle Phase, and if it attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: The lowest rarity for a Qliphort monster thus far and with good reason because unless you Tribute Summon it using Qliphort monsters, it won't really do anything useful, even with Pendulum Summons.
NECH-EN024
Qliphort Disk
EARTH / Machine-Type Pendulum / Level 7 / ATK 2800 / DEF 1000 / Scale 1
You cannot Special Summon monsters, except "Qli" monsters. This effect cannot be negated. All "Qli" monsters you control gain 300 ATK.
You can Normal Summon this card without Tributing. If this card is Normal Summoned without Tributing or is Special Summoned, its Level becomes 4 and its original ATK becomes 1800. If this card is Normal Summoned/Set, it is unaffected by activated effects from any monster whose original Level/Rank is lower than this card's current Level. When this card is Tribute Summoned by Tributing a "Qli" monster(s): You can Special Summon 2 "Qli" monsters from your Deck, but destroy them during the End Phase.

SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It's the strongest Qli monster thus far but that doesn't mean a whole lot when you'll likely end up Normal Summoning it or its friends and bring it down to a Level 4 beatstick instead and what this guy brings out literally won't be any better.
NECH-EN023
Qliphort Helix
EARTH / Machine-Type Pendulum / Level 6 / ATK 2400 / DEF 1000 / Scale 9
You cannot Special Summon monsters, except "Qli" monsters. This effect cannot be negated. All monsters your opponent controls lose 300 ATK.

If this card is Normal Summoned/Set, it is unaffected by activated effects from any monster whose original Level/Rank is lower than this card's current Level. If this card is Tributed: You can target 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field; destroy that target.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Same as NECH-EN022's comments.
NECH-EN022
Qliphort Carrier
EARTH / Machine-Type Pendulum / Level 6 / ATK 2400 / DEF 1000 / Scale 1
You cannot Special Summon monsters, except "Qli" monsters. This effect cannot be negated. All "Qli" monsters you control gain 300 ATK.
You can Normal Summon this card without Tributing. If this card is Normal Summoned without Tributing or is Special Summoned, its Level becomes 4 and its original ATK becomes 1800. If this card is Normal Summoned/Set, it is unaffected by activated effects from any monster whose original Level/Rank is lower than this card's current Level. If this card is Tributed: You can target 1 monster on the field; return it to the hand.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: For such restraints, it kinda makes all positive points about this card moot because it gets weaker and loses 2 stars if Normal Summoned by its effect or Special Summoned at all and that'll reduce the amount of effects it can slip by.
NECH-EN021
Qliphort Scout
EARTH / Machine-Type Pendulum / Level 5 / ATK 1000 / DEF 2800 / Scale 9
You cannot Special Summon monsters, except "Qli" monsters. This effect cannot be negated. Once per turn: You can pay 800 LP; add 1 "Qli" card from your Deck to your hand, except "Qliphort Scout".

ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It's scale is well high enough to make use of but its Pendulum Text makes that virtually moot as only Qli monsters can be Special Summoned by its effect and outside of that, just 2800 DEF is its only offering.
NECH-EN020
Fluffal Rabbit
EARTH / Fairy / Level 1 / ATK 300 / DEF 1200
If this card is sent to the Graveyard as a Fusion Material for a Fusion Summon: You can target 1 "Edge Imp Sabres" or 1 "Fluffal" monster in your Graveyard, except "Fluffal Rabbit"; add it to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Fluffal Rabbit" once per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It doesn't care if used as Fusion Material for a Frightfur Fusion Monster or not and at least one of its options isn't all that bad to retrieve.
