When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard: Target 2 Level 4 LIGHT Thunder-Type monsters with the same name in your Graveyard; add those targets to your hand. SECRET RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Best to run this in an all-LIGHT monster deck because for either effect, it needs LIGHT monsters. |
| REDU-EN098* | |

ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | He seems pleasing at first but I think people forget that he has to give up (most likely) all his Xyz Materials and if he gets Effect Veilered, he's done. |
| REDU-EN097 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Sishunder LIGHT / Thunder / Level 4 / ATK 900 / DEF 400 When this card is Normal Summoned: You can target 1 Level 4 LIGHT Thunder-Type monster with 1600 or less ATK in your Graveyard, except "Sishunder"; banish that target. During the End Phase of this turn, add that card to your hand. RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | It's like most little sisters: annoying and weak so unlike the previous two ' hunder cards, this one isn't justified by being even Rare. |
| REDU-EN096 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Mahunder LIGHT / Thunder / Level 4 / ATK 1400 / DEF 700 Once per turn: You can Normal Summon 1 Level 4 LIGHT Thunder-Type monster from your hand, except "Mahunder", as an additional Normal Summon. RARE |

| Comments: | Same as REDU-EN095's comments. |
| REDU-EN095 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |

| REDU-EN094 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Advanced Dark Field Spell All "Crystal Beast" monsters on the field and in the Graveyard become DARK. If "Rainbow Dragon" or "Rainbow Dark Dragon" attacks, negate the effects of the attack target during that Battle Phase. During damage calculation, if a "Crystal Beast" monster you control battles and you would take damage: You can send 1 "Crystal Beast" monster from your Deck to the Graveyard; you take no Battle Damage from that battle. SECRET RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | You get some nifty effects but you may also be setting yourself up to be screwed over by Consecrated Light. |
| REDU-EN093 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Miracle Contact Normal Spell Shuffle into the Deck, from your hand, field, or Graveyard, the Fusion Material Monsters that are listed on an "Elemental HERO" Fusion Monster that lists "Elemental HERO Neos" as a Fusion Material, then Special Summon that Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions. SECRET RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | You recycle your Elemental HERO Fusion Materials and bring out a Fusion Monster but in the end, once it goes to the Grave, you can't bring it back. |
| REDU-EN092 | |
| Card Type: | Xyz Monster |
| Card Info | Number 6: Chronomaly Atlandis LIGHT / Machine-Type Xyz / Rank 6 / ATK 2600 / DEF 3000 2 Level 6 monsters When this card is Xyz Summoned: You can target 1 "Number" monster in your Graveyard; equip that target to this card.

Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to send the monster equipped by this effect to the Graveyard; halve your opponent's Life Points. You cannot conduct your Battle Phase the turn you activate this effect. SECRET RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It can put quite the hurt on your opponent's score but although the text doesn't say it, you can only do it once and the card this guy takes from your Grave must be a Number monster and gets only half its ATK. |
| REDU-EN091 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Eco, Mystical Spirit of the Forest EARTH / Plant / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 1000 When you take damage from an opponent's card effect: You can Special Summon this card from your hand, and if you do, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the damage you took, also both players take no further effect damage this turn. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | So you get a two-for-one special: free monster and hurting your opponent with the same effect damage you just took but after that, he won't last long. |
| REDU-EN090 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Chewbone EARTH / Zombie / Level 3 / ATK 300 / DEF 300 FLIP: Special Summon 3 "Chewbone Jr. Tokens" (Zombie-Type/EARTH/Level 1/ATK 100/DEF 300) in Defense Position to your opponent's side of the field. COMMON |

| Comments: | Duelists are going to have a bone to pick with this guy and I hope they take all of them so he doesn't need to exist anymore. |
| REDU-EN089 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Ninjitsu Art of Shadow Sealing Continuous Trap Tribute 1 "Ninja" monster to target 1 monster your opponent controls; banish that target. While that card is banished, its Monster Card Zone cannot be used. When this face-up card leaves the field: Return the card banished by this effect to the same Monster Card Zone, in the same battle position. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | You get rid of the monster better with Dark Core and Karma Cut and either one just needs you discard any 1 card from your hand. |
| REDU-EN088 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Advance Zone Continuous Spell Once per turn, during the End Phase of any turn in which you Tribute Summoned a monster(s): You can apply these effects, depending on the number of monsters you Tributed for Tribute Summons this turn. ● 1 or more: Destroy 1 Set card your opponent controls. ● 2 or more: Draw 1 card. ● 3 or more: Add 1 monster from your Graveyard to your hand. SECRET RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | You can get a fair bit out of this but it's slow to resolve and relies solely on Tribute Summons. |
| REDU-EN087 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Spellbook Library of the Crescent Normal Spell If you have no "Spellbook" Spell Cards in your Graveyard: Reveal 3 "Spellbook" Spell Cards with different names from your Deck, your opponent randomly adds 1 of them to your hand, and shuffle the rest back into your Deck.

| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | If by chance you don't have any Spellbook Spells in your hand, this card helps you get some but you only get one and it may not be one you need at the time. |
| REDU-EN086 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Noble Arms - Gallatin Equip Spell You can only control 1 face-up "Noble Arms - Gallatin". Equip only to a Warrior-Type monster. It gains 1000 ATK. During each of your Standby Phases, it loses 200 ATK. If this face-up card on the field is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 face-up Warrior-Type "Noble Knight" monster you control; equip this card to that target. This effect of "Noble Arms - Gallatin" can only be used once per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Remember Stim Pack? This is just a poorer version of that and there are better Equip Spells than either of them. |
| REDU-EN085 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Revival Golem EARTH / Rock / Level 4 / ATK 100 / DEF 2100 The effect of "Revival Golem" can only be used once per turn. When this card is sent from your Deck to the Graveyard: Activate 1 of these effects. ● Special Summon this card from the Graveyard. ● Add this card from the Graveyard to your hand. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Foolish Burial could put this right into the Grave and trigger its effect and given that 2100 DEF, you'll opt for its 1st option but it's only once per turn. |
| REDU-EN084 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Imairuka WATER / Sea Serpent / Level 2 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1000 When this card on the field is destroyed by your opponent's card (either by battle or by card effect) and sent to the Graveyard: Send the top card of your Deck to the Graveyard, then, if it was a WATER monster, draw 1 card. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | You could get lucky and pull of his effect but odds are about 66% likely you won't get anything good. |
| REDU-EN083 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info |
Blue Dragon Ninja SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Ninja decks have shown me that they're good but since this guy is useless without their support, it's not getting a high rating. |
| REDU-EN082 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Lightray Madoor LIGHT / Spellcaster / Level 6 / ATK 1200 / DEF 3000 If 3 or more of your LIGHT monsters are banished, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). Once per turn, this card cannot be destroyed by battle. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | He's not even good at ripping off Fortress Warrior's effect because Fortress Warrior also saves you Battle Damage from his battles. |
| REDU-EN081* | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Prophecy Destroyer DARK / Spellcaster / Level 6 / ATK 2500 / DEF 1200 If this card is in your Graveyard: You can banish 3 "Spellbook" Spell Cards from your Graveyard; Special Summon this card from your Graveyard. ULTRA RARE |

| REDU-EN080 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Lucky Punch Continuous Trap Once per turn, when an opponent's monster declares an attack: You can toss a coin 3 times. If the result is 3 heads, draw 3 cards, but if the result is 3 tails, destroy this card. If this face-up card on the field is destroyed: You lose 6000 Life Points. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | You could get lucky twice and get 3 cards and of that have a card to save you but you only have one shot at it per turn and will most likely end up losing those 6000 Life Points and likely the duel. |
| REDU-EN079 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Rebound Counter Trap When your opponent activates a Spell Card, Trap Card, or monster effect that returns a card(s) from the field to the hand: Negate that effect, and if you do, send 1 card from your opponent's hand (at random) or from their side of the field to the Graveyard. When this Set card is destroyed by your opponent's card effect and sent to the Graveyard: Draw 1 card. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | With Brionac banned from play, this card's big target is Grand Mole and there's also Compulsory Evacuation Device. Plus if your opponent destroys it before you can use it, you draw 1 card. |
| REDU-EN078 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Soul Drain Continuous Trap Activate by paying 1000 Life Points. Monsters that are banished, as well as monsters in the Graveyard, cannot activate their effects (that start a Chain). RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Anything Grave-reliant is shut down and it can also stop D.D. Survivor or D.D. Scout Plane from returning by their effects but its effect includes your cards and is limited to the Grave and banished monsters. |
| REDU-EN077 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Three of a Kind Normal Trap If you control 3 or more monsters with the same name, except Tokens: Target 3 cards your opponent controls; destroy those targets. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It isn't all that hard to get 3 of the same monsters in play at once (easiest would be Watapon via Photon Veil) and you're rewarded with getting rid of 3 of your opponent's cards they control. |
| REDU-EN076 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Void Trap Hole Normal Trap When your opponent Special Summons a monster(s) with 2000 or more ATK: Negate the effects of one of those monsters with 2000 or more ATK, and if you do, destroy it. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | While nailing less than Bottomless Trap Hole, this can stop even Stardust Dragon as it negates the effect before getting rid of it! |
| REDU-EN075 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Turnabout Normal Trap If there is a face-up monster on the field whose current Level is different from its original Level: Change all monsters on the field to face-down Defense Position. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Unless there's a turnabout in the Forbidden List that puts Book of Eclipse to Banned, (and even then, this has minimal uses) don't expect much of anything with this card. |
| REDU-EN074 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Compulsory Escape Device Normal Trap Each player chooses 1 monster they control, then shuffles it into the Deck. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | In most cases, your opponent will most likely choose their weakest monster and in which case, you're worse off than before so use good ol' Evacuation Device instead. |
| REDU-EN073 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Xyz Soul Normal Trap Target 1 Xyz Monster in either player's Graveyard; all monsters you currently control gain ATK equal to its Rank x 200, then you can shuffle it into the Extra Deck. This ATK increase lasts until the End Phase. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | There are better card boosters out there than this so leave this to rest in pieces. |
| REDU-EN072 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Madolche Tea Break Counter Trap When a Spell/Trap Card is activated, if you have no monsters in your Graveyard: Negate the activation, and if you do, return it to the hand, then, if you control a face-up "Madolche Puddingcess", you can destroy 1 card your opponent controls. RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Whether you meet this card's secondary effect requirements or not, this isn't worth using. |
| REDU-EN071 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Madolche Waltz Continuous Trap Each time a "Madolche" monster you control attacks or is attacked, after damage calculation: Inflict 300 damage to your opponent. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | So for each battle a Madolche monster engages in (and most likely will lose), you deal your opponent a measly 300 damage? Maybe this card can waltz to the trash can instead? |
| REDU-EN070 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Madolche Lesson Normal Trap Target 1 "Madolche" monster in your Graveyard; shuffle that target into the Deck, and if you do, all "Madolche" monsters you currently control gain 800 ATK and DEF, then you can shuffle 1 other monster from your Graveyard into the Deck. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Using this over Pot of Avarice (while legal for tournament play) will certainly teach you a lesson about dueling intelligently. |
| REDU-EN069 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Stonehenge Methods Normal Trap When a face-up "Chronomaly" monster(s) you control is destroyed by battle or by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard: Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Chronomaly" monster from your Deck in face-up Defense Position. It cannot change its battle position. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | The Hero Signal for Chronomalies but more restrictive as the Chronomaly it brings out, which must be in Defense Mode, is stuck in Defense Mode |
| REDU-EN068 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Heroic Retribution Sword Normal Trap Target 1 face-up "Heroic" monster you control; equip this card to that target. All Battle Damage you take from battles involving the equipped monster is also inflicted to your opponent. After damage calculation: Destroy any opponent's monster that battles the equipped monster. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Essentially this gives your Heroic monster gain Chthonian Soldier's effect but also gets rid of the monster after Damage Calculation but it has to survive first. |
| REDU-EN067 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Gagagarush Normal Trap When a face-up "Gagaga" monster(s) you control is targeted by the effect of an opponent's monster: Negate the effect of that opponent's monster, and if you do, destroy it, then inflict damage to your opponent equal to the destroyed monster's ATK or DEF in the Graveyard (whichever is higher). COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Gagaga monsters out thus far will need this and while it doesn't do better than Negate Attack or even the previous card of this set, you get to get rid of a monster and deal its higher stat value to your opponent. |
| REDU-EN066 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Impenetrable Attack Normal Trap During the Battle Phase, activate 1 of these effects. ● Target 1 monster on the field; it cannot be destroyed by battle or by card effects during this Battle Phase. ● You take no Battle Damage during this Battle Phase. COMMON |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | You have to wait until the Battle Phase but either effect is good enough to be worth the wait and it's not restricted to your opponent's turn! |
| REDU-EN065 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Cold Feet Quick-Play Spell You cannot activate, Set, or use the effects of any Spell/Trap Cards this turn. SHORT PRINT COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Ironically, this being short-print is a good thing because you won't see it pulled that often and you're asking to lose the duel by using this, even as a Quick-Play Spell. |
| REDU-EN064 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Catapult Zone Field Spell Once per turn, if a monster you control would be destroyed by battle, you can send 1 Rock-Type monster from your Deck to the Graveyard instead. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | With this you could have fuel to bring out Megarock Dragon or Valkyrion (once its needs are in place) but it's only once per turn and only sends Rock-Type monsters. |
| REDU-EN063 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Generation Force Normal Spell If you control an Xyz Monster: Add 1 "Xyz" card from your Deck to your hand. COMMON |

| Card Info | Where Arf Thou? Normal Spell If you control a face-up Level 1 monster: Add 1 Level 1 monster from your Deck to your hand. During the End Phase of this turn, take 2000 damage if you did not Normal Summon the added monster, or a card with the same name, after activating this card. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Trash can, trash can. Where for art thou trash can for thy card showeth above be too pitiful to see the light of day? |
| REDU-EN061 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Madolche Chateau Field Spell When this card is activated: Shuffle all "Madolche" monsters in your Graveyard into the Deck. All "Madolche" monsters on the field gain 500 ATK and DEF. If a monster(s) in your Graveyard would be returned to the Deck by the effect of a "Madolche" monster, you can add it to your hand instead. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | The Madolche playground for when activated any of them in the Grave go into your Deck and if they lose a battle, you can put them back into your hand and they get a minor boost but it doesn't fix their flaws. |
| REDU-EN060 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Spellbook of Wisdom Quick-Play Spell Target 1 face-up Spellcaster-Type monster on the field and activate 1 of these effects; ● It is unaffected by other Spell effects this turn. ● It is unaffected by Trap effects this turn. RARE |

| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Spellbook of Life Equip Spell Banish 1 Spellcaster-Type monster from your Graveyard and reveal 1 other "Spellbook" Spell Card in your hand to target 1 Spellcaster-Type monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target in face-up Attack Position and equip it with this card. The equipped monster's Level is increased by the Level of the monster that was banished for this card's activation. You can only activate 1 "Spellbook of Life" per turn. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | While Monster Reborn and Call of the Haunted remain legal for tournament play, this card will remain pointless. |
| REDU-EN058 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Spellbook of Power Normal Spell Target 1 face-up Spellcaster-Type monster you control; until the End Phase, it gains 1000 ATK. Also, until the End Phase, each time it destroys an opponent's monster by battle: You can add 1 "Spellbook" Spell Card from your Deck to your hand. You can only activate 1 "Spellbook of Power" per turn. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Your Spellcaster gets a temporary +1000 ATK and you get another Spellbook if it wins a battle but being only temporary, will leave this card with only 2 stars for a rating. |
| REDU-EN057* | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Spellbook of Secrets Normal Spell Add 1 "Spellbook" card from your Deck to your hand, except "Spellbook of Secrets". You can only activate 1 "Spellbook of Secrets" per turn. ULTRA RARE |

| Card Info | Galaxy Queen's Light Normal Spell Target 1 face-up Level 7 or higher monster you control; the Levels of all other face-up monsters you currently control become the current Level of that monster, until the End Phase. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It's only good for Xyz Summoning Ranks 7 or higher, which really limits this card's playability. |
| REDU-EN055 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Chronomaly Pyramid Eye Tablet Continuous Spell All "Chronomaly" monsters you control gain 800 ATK. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Unlike Solidarity, this card doesn't need anything in the Graveyard to match its affected monsters' anything but it's limited to Chronomaly monsters. |
| REDU-EN054 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Chronomaly Technology Normal Spell Target 1 "Chronomaly" monster in your Graveyard; banish it, then look at the top 2 cards of your Deck, add 1 of them to your hand, and send the other to the Graveyard. You can only activate 1 "Chronomaly Technology" per turn. You cannot Special Summon any monsters during the turn you activate this card, except "Chronomaly" monsters. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Their technology must be vastly outdated if they're copying already poor cards like Pot of Duality, then giving them bad effects. |
| REDU-EN053 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Heroic Chance Normal Spell Target 1 face-up "Heroic" monster you control; this turn, double its ATK, but it cannot attack your opponent directly. You can only activate 1 "Heroic Chance" per turn. COMMON |

| REDU-EN052 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Overlay Regen Normal Spell Target 1 face-up Xyz Monster on the field; attach this card to it as an Xyz Material. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | For the good Xyz monsters, this isn't all that bad but for the rest, which is far more than the good ones IMO, it does nothing helpful. |
| REDU-EN051 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Gagagarevenge Equip Spell Target 1 "Gagaga" monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it and equip it with this card. When this card leaves the field, destroy the equipped monster. When this card is sent to the Graveyard because the equipped monster was used as an Xyz Material: All Xyz Monsters you currently control gain 300 ATK. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Even though you can bring back Gagaga Magician, you'll likely only use him as Xyz Material and this card doesn't provide much of a boost when you do. |
| REDU-EN050 | |
| Card Type: | Xyz Monster |
| Card Info | Sword Breaker EARTH / Warrior-Type Xyz / Rank 6 / ATK 2700 / DEF 1000 2 Level 6 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to declare 1 Monster Type; this card gains the following effect. At the start of the Damage Step, if this card battles a monster of a Type that has been declared: Destroy that monster. SUPER RARE |

| Card Info | Fairy King Albverdich EARTH / Plant-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK 2300 / DEF 1400 2 Level 4 EARTH monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; all non-EARTH monsters currently on the field lose 500 ATK and DEF. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |

If this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle while it has Xyz Material: You can target 1 EARTH monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target in face-up Defense Position. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It has enough DEF to survive at least the first battle it takes part in and has a bonus effect in case you don't want it to sit and do nothing but it's not that good overall. |
| REDU-EN047 | |
| Card Type: | Xyz Monster |
| Card Info | Alchemic Magician DARK / Spellcaster-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK 1500 / DEF 1500 3 Level 4 Spellcaster-Type monsters This card gains 200 ATK for each Spell Card in your Graveyard.
