SHSP-EN059
Gagagatag
Normal Spell
All "Gagaga" monsters you currently control gains 500 ATK for each "Gagaga" monster you currently control, until your next Standby Phase. You can only activate 1 "Gagagatag" per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Most of the Gagaga monsters are pretty poor but they can all chip in and give the good ones a pretty big boost but it doesn't last long though.
SHSP-EN058
Giganticastle
EARTH / Rock-Type Synchro / Level 9 / ATK 2900 / DEF 2800
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
This card gains 200 ATK and DEF for each non-Tuner Synchro Material Monster used to Synchro Summon this card.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Your effort gives you a stronger monster but it takes more work to get it to be a major threat.
SHSP-EN057
Puralis, the Purple Pyrotile
FIRE / Reptile-Type Synchro Tuner / Level 2 / ATK 800 / DEF 1400
1 Tuner + 1 non-Tuner monster
When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard: All monsters your opponent currently controls lose 500 ATK.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: A measly 500 ATK loss for when work it took to bring it out is disposed of, even as a Tuner monster is terrible as even Formula Synchron at least lets you draw 1 card.
SHSP-EN056**
Divine Dragon Knight Felgrand
LIGHT / Warrior-Type Xyz / Rank 8 / ATK 2800 / DEF 1800
2 Level 8 monsters
Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 face-up monster on the field; this turn, its effects are negated, but it is unaffected by other card effects.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: If this guy came from Camelot, he's a disgrace to the kingdom as all can offer is a less restrictive yet somewhat watered down Effect Veiler effect and his payment is 2 Level 8 monsters, a price too steep for so little.
SHSP-EN055
Meliae of the Trees
EARTH / Plant-Type Xyz / Rank 3 / ATK 1700 / DEF 900
2 Level 3 EARTH monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then activate 1 of these effects.
● Send 1 Plant-Type monster from your Deck to the Graveyard.
● Target 1 Plant-Type monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target in face-up Defense Position.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: This card is getting lots of hype and I can see what they're getting at as it's either a Foolish Burial or a Monster Reborn for Plants. Still pretty weak as a whole though, especially for its Xyz Material requirements.
SHSP-EN054
Crimson Knight Vampire Bram
DARK / Zombie-Type Xyz / Rank 5 / ATK 2500 / DEF 0
2 Level 5 Zombie-Type monsters
You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 monster in your opponent's Graveyard; Special Summon that target to your side of the field, but if you do, only that monster can attack for the rest of this turn. You can only use this effect of "Crimson Knight Vampire Bram" once per turn. During the Standby Phase of the next turn after this card you controlled was destroyed by your opponent's card (either by battle or by card effect) and sent to your Graveyard: Special Summon it from the Graveyard in face-up Defense Position.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: It's easy to make this guy with the support Zombies have and you get any monster from your opponent's Graveyard to join you. The fact that the new monster is the only monster you own that can attack is understandable and made-up for by this guy's self-revival effect, which occurs anytime your opponent destroys it and comes back quickly!
SHSP-EN053*
Bujintei Kagutsuchi
DARK / Beast-Warrior-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK 2500 / DEF 2000
2 Level 4 Beast-Warrior-Type monsters
When this card is Xyz Summoned: Send the top 5 cards of your Deck to the Graveyard (or your entire Deck, if less than 5), also this card gains 100 ATK for each "Bujin" card sent to the Graveyard by this effect. If a "Bujin" Beast-Warrior-Type monster(s) you control would be destroyed by battle or by card effect, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card instead of destroying 1 of those monsters. You can only control 1 "Bujintei Kagutsuchi".
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: First you lose the next 5 cards of your deck and for what you lose, he gains a measly 100 ATK for each of his friends milled, which is going to be low regardless of how many you sent. His final effect is not enough to make up for his failures.
SHSP-EN052*
Ghostrick Alucard
DARK / Zombie-Type Xyz / Rank 3 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1600
2 Level 3 monsters
Your opponent cannot target other "Ghostrick" monsters, or any face-down Defense Position monsters, for attacks. You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 Set card your opponent controls; destroy that target. You can only use this effect of "Ghostrick Alucard" once per turn. If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 other "Ghostrick" card in your Graveyard; add that target to your hand.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: A weak Xyz Monster for needing 2 Level 3s and it can only destroy Set cards, making it useless to anything face-up but it does protect your other Ghostricks.
SHSP-EN051
Number 64: Ronin Raccoon Sandayu
EARTH / Beast-Type Xyz / Rank 2 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1000
2 Level 2 Beast-Type monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; Special Summon 1 "Kagemusha Raccoon Token" (Beast-Type/EARTH/Level 1/ATK ?/DEF 0). (When Summoned, its ATK becomes equal to the current ATK of the monster on the field that has the highest ATK. Your choice, if tied.) While you control another Beast-Type monster, this card cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It's limited to Beast-Type Xyz Materials but you get a token that has major ATK potential, has no side-effects and protects this guy from destruction. 
SHSP-EN050*
Number 46: Dragluon
LIGHT / Dragon-Type Xyz / Rank 8 / ATK 3000 / DEF 3000
2 Level 8 Dragon-Type monsters
Once per turn, if you control no other monsters: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then activate 1 of these effects.
● Special Summon 1 Dragon-Type monster from your hand.
● Target 1 Dragon-Type monster your opponent controls; take control of that target.
● Dragon-Type monsters your opponent controls cannot activate their effects until the end of your opponent's turn. 
SUPER RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: How ironic that this guy is a Dragon-Type and essentially hates on other Dragons but the real downer is that to do anything other than attack or defend with it, you need no other monsters out and he needs Dragon-Type Xyz Materials unlike the much better and easier to summon Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon.
SHSP-EN049
Battlin' Boxer Cheat Commissioner
FIRE / Warrior-Type Xyz / Rank 3 / ATK 0 / DEF 1300
2 Level 3 monsters
All monsters your opponent controls must attack, if able. While you control another "Battlin' Boxer" monster, your opponent cannot target this card for attacks. When an attack is declared involving another "Battlin' Boxer" monster you control: You can detach 2 Xyz Materials from this card; look at your opponent's hand, then Set 1 Spell Card from their hand to your side of the field.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Cheaters never prosper and as far as this guy is concerned, his lousy effect is no good on the field because he has to give up all his materials to take a Spell Card from your opponent that will then be a giveaway and may not be good at all.
SHSP-EN048
Number C65: King Overfiend
DARK / Fiend-Type Xyz / Rank 3 / ATK 1600 / DEF 0
3 Level 3 DARK monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; it loses 1000 ATK and DEF. While this card has "Number 65: Djinn Buster" as an Xyz Material, it gains this effect.
● Effect Monsters your opponent controls cannot activate their effects.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: A step up from his original form as it drains the opponent's monster of 1000 ATK and DEF without needing the original as Xyz Material but does need it as Xyz Material for its other effect, which like its stats, is pretty sub-par.
SHSP-EN047
Number 65: Djinn Buster
DARK / Fiend-Type Xyz / Rank 2 / ATK 1300 / DEF 0
2 Level 2 DARK monsters
During either player's turn, when an effect of an opponent's monster is activated: You can detach 2 Xyz Materials from this card; negate the activation, and if you do, inflict 500 damage to your opponent.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Now we're just pitiful. Having stats that most Level 2 or lower monsters and an effect that is much below Divine Wrath is not worth filling a space in your Extra Deck.
SHSP-EN046
Number C96: Dark Storm
DARK
/ Fiend-Type Xyz / Rank 3 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1000
4 Level 3 DARK monsters
This card cannot be destroyed by battle, also all battle damage you take from battles involving this card is also inflicted to your opponent. If this card has "Number 96: Dark Mist" as an Xyz Material, it gains this effect.
● Once per battle, during either player's turn, when an attack is declared involving this card and an opponent's monster: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; the ATK of that opponent's monster becomes 0, and if it does, this card gains ATK equal to the original ATK of the opponent's monster.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Compared to Relinquished, this guy needs more than that regardless of what his materials are, can't take the monsters it battles with and is just barely stronger, not to mention it has the other effect Relinquished has.
SHSP-EN045
Blue Duston
WATER / Fiend / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 1000
Cannot be used as a Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz Material for a Summon. While this card is face-up on the field, it cannot be Tributed. When this card on the field is destroyed: Banish 1 random card from the controller's hand, face-down, until the next turn's Standby Phase. You can only control 1 face-up "Blue Duston".
SHORT PRINT COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: These guys can reproduce until the cows come home but unless they can do better, their rating will remain the same for each of them.
SHSP-EN044
Risebell the Star Psycher
WIND / Psychic / Level 4 / ATK 1500 / DEF 1500
Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can target 1 face-up monster on the field; increase its Level by 1.
SHORT PRINT COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Increasing a monster's Level by 1 won't do you much good even if it briefly stops your opponent's Xyz Summon because this guy is weak as a whole so this guy isn't really a star of anything.
SHSP-EN043
Terrene Toothed Tsuchinoko
EARTH / Reptile / Level 3 / ATK 1600 / DEF 500
When this card is Special Summoned: Change all other Special Summoned monsters on the field to face-down Defense Position. You can only use the effect of "Terrene Toothed Tsuchinoko" once per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: He'll leave Xyz Monsters more vulnerable but isn't very strong on his own and his effect only works when Special Summoned.
SHSP-EN042
Swarm of Crows
DARK / Winged Beast / Level 5 / ATK 1200 / DEF 1800
Cannot be Special Summoned from the Deck. Once per turn: You can change this card to face-down Defense Position. When this card is Flip Summoned: Discard 1 random card from your opponent's hand.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Crippled from the start as you can't Special Summon it from the deck, making it harder to get around it being Level 5 and for all that, you take a shot at getting something good from their hand.
SHSP-EN041
Granmarg the Mega Monarch
EARTH / Rock / Level 8 / ATK 2800 / DEF 1000
You can Tribute Summon this card by Tributing 1 Tribute Summoned monster. When this card is Tribute Summoned: Target up to 2 Set cards on the field; destroy those targets. If this card was Tributed Summoned by Tributing an EARTH monster, add this additional effect.
● Also, draw 1 card after that.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: You can Tribute Summon him without another Tribute Summoned monster but his new effect is hardly much better than the original and the bonus effect is off limits unless the tribute was an EARTH monster.
SHSP-EN040
Mariņa, Princess of Sunflowers
FIRE / Plant / Level 8 / ATK 2800 / DEF 1600
If exactly 1 other Plant-Type monster you control (and no other cards) is destroyed by battle or by card effect and sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 card your opponent controls; destroy that target. This card must be face-up on the field to activate and to resolve this effect.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: So another Plant-Type monster that isn't herself has to lose a battle and her revenge destroys an opponent's card, which isn't too bad and her ATK isn't either but she does not come with destruction prevention.
