| TDGS-EN099 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Toy Magician LIGHT / Spellcaster / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1500 You can Set this card face-down in your Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Spell Card. If this face-down card in your Spell & Trap Card Zone is destroyed by an opponent's card effect and sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon it during the End Phase. When this card is Flip Summoned, destroy Spell or Trap Cards on the field equal to the number of "Toy Magicians" on the field. SECRET RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | You'll have trouble keeping one on the field let alone two or three! Plus his effect puts him face down in your Spell and Trap Zone, leaving you one defense less. |
| TDGS-EN098 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Kunai with Chain Normal Trap Choose 1 or both of these effects: ● Activate only when an opponent's monster attacks. Change the attacking monster to Defense Position. ● Equip this card to a monster you control. It gains 500 ATK. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | You can at least use both effects simultaneously but still not a great card. |
| TDGS-EN097 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Ice Master WATER / Spellcaster / Level 8 / ATK 2500 / DEF 2000 You can Special Summon this card from your hand by Tributing 2 WATER monsters. Once per turn, you can place an Ice Counter on 1 face-up monster. You can Tribute this card to destroy all monsters with an Ice Counter(s). SECRET RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | He's at least better than FEΩ since you can Summon him any way you like yet he's restricted to 1 Ice Counter per turn and you lose him to activate his other effect. |
| TDGS-EN096 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Cold Enchanter WATER / Aqua / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1200 You can discard 1 card to place an Ice Counter on 1 face-up monster. This card gains 300 ATK for each Ice Counter on the field. RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | It can have 1900 ATK but it doesn't take much to change that. At least you can use its effect more than once but you have to discard a card to do so. |
| TDGS-EN095 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Fiendish Engine Ω DARK / Machine / Level 8 / ATK 2800 / DEF 2000 During your End Phase, Special Summon 1 "Engine Token" (Machine-Type/EARTH/Level 1/ATK 200/ DEF 200) in Attack Position. Once per turn, you can have this card gain 1000 ATK. If you do, it is destroyed during the End Phase. SECRET RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | This card has absolutely no use in any deck since its tributes aren't worth its stats or its effect. |
| TDGS-EN094 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Splendid Venus LIGHT / Fairy / Level 8 / ATK 2800 / DEF 2400 All non-Fairy-Type monsters lose 500 ATK and DEF. The activation and effects of your Spell and Trap Cards cannot be negated. SECRET RARE |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | Her stats aren't very impressive but her effect should help with that as any non-Fairy-Type monster loses 500 ATK and DEF plus your Spell and Trap effects can't be negated (except with Jinzo). |
| TDGS-EN093 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | The Selection Counter Trap Pay 1000 Life Points. Negate the Summon of a monster that has the same Type as a monster on the field, and destroy it. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Odds are that it won't be the same type as another monster but it does come in handy if its a Six Samurai monster. |
| TDGS-EN092 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Trap of Darkness Normal Trap Activate only by paying 1000 Life Points while you have 3000 Life Points or less. Select a Normal Trap Card in your Graveyard. This card's effect is the same as that Trap Card's. Remove from play that Normal Trap Card. RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Both activation requirements really make this card terrible and for all your hard work, you'll probably lose as this card can easily get negated. |
| TDGS-EN091 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Tricky Spell 4 Quick-Play Spell Send 1 face-up "The Tricky" you control to the Graveyard. For each monster your opponent controls, Special Summon a "Tricky Token" (Spellcaster-Type/WIND/Level 5/ATK 2000/DEF 1200) in Defense Position. "Tricky Tokens" cannot declare an attack. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Chances are you going to summon more tokens than The Tricky card you lost and at least you can tribute the tokens for other monsters or effects but the tokens can't attack. |
| TDGS-EN090 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | The Tricky WIND / Spellcaster / Level 5 / ATK 2000 / DEF 1200 You can discard 1 card to Special Summon this card from your hand. RARE |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | You can at least discard any card you want to summon him and his 2000 ATK is enough to take out Gemini Elves and Vorse Raiders. |
| TDGS-EN089 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Charge of the Light Brigade Normal Spell Send the top 3 cards of your Deck to the Graveyard. Add 1 Level 4 or lower "Lightsworn" monster from your Deck to your hand. SECRET RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Here is yet another unworthy card to be a Secret Rare since it is useless without Lightsworn monsters, which should only be run in a deck just for them. |
| TDGS-EN088 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Telekinetic Charging Cell Equip Spell Equip only to a Psychic-Type monster. You do not have to pay Life Points to activate its effect(s). When the equipped monster is destroyed and this card is sent to the Graveyard, you can pay 1000 Life Points to return this card to your hand. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | If you are running Psychic-Type monster decks, don't forget this card since some of them require LPs to use their effects, which can cost you in the long run later. |
| TDGS-EN087 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Grapple Blocker EARTH / Psychic / Level 4 / ATK 1200 / DEF 2000 When this card is Normal Summoned, you can select 1 monster your opponent controls. The selected monster cannot attack or be Tributed, while this card remains face-up on the field. During each of your End Phases, pay 500 Life Points or destroy this card. RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | He has the 2000 DEF that should allow him to get 2 stars. So why doesn't he? You have to pay LPs to keep him out, whether or not you used his other effect. |
| TDGS-EN086 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Cyber Shark WATER / Fish / Level 5 / ATK 2100 / DEF 2000 If you control a WATER monster, you can Normal Summon this card without Tributing. SECRET RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | He can be useful in WATER decks (and probably should only be used there) but even if you do summon him, he can easily be destroyed by Trap Hole or Bottomless. |
| TDGS-EN085 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Hand of the Six Samurai FIRE / Warrior / Level 3 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1000 While you control another "Six Samurai" monster, you can Tribute 1 "Six Samurai" monster to destroy 1 monster on the field. SECRET RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Another wasted Secret Rare slot. He has the "I need another SS monster to get my effect" effect and his stats are enough for him to be removed by Bottomless or regular Trap Hole. |
| TDGS-EN084 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Maiden of Macabre DARK / Spellcaster / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 0 Each time this card destroys a monster by battle, place 1 Spell Counter on this card. This card gains 200 ATK for every Spell Counter on it. RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | She has to destroy a monster to even have 1900 ATK when there are monsters out there that already have 1900 ATK like Gemini Elf so use one of them instead. |
| TDGS-EN083 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Izanami WATER / Fairy-Type Spirit / Level 4 / ATK 1100 / DEF 1800 This card cannot be Special Summoned. This card returns to its owner's hand during the End Phase of the turn it is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up. When this card is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up, you can discard 1 card to add 1 Spirit monster from your Graveyard to your hand. RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | She's not going to last more than one turn since even a Metal Guardian (1150 ATK) is enough to take her down. |
| TDGS-EN082 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Herald of Orange Light LIGHT / Fairy-Type Tuner / Level 2 / ATK 300 / DEF 500 You can send this card and 1 other Fairy-Type monster from your hand to the Graveyard to negate the activation of an effect of an Effect Monster your opponent controls, and destroy it. You can activate this effect during either player's turn. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | This guy should ONLY be used for Synchro Summoning as its effect isn't worth the effort when Divine Wrath can not only negate the effect but is a better card to use. |
| TDGS-EN081 | |
| Card Type: | Effect Monster |
| Card Info | Counselor Lily EARTH / Fairy-Type Tuner / Level 3 / ATK 400 / DEF 1500 When this card is sent to the Graveyard for a Synchro Summon, you can pay 500 Life Points to have that Synchro Monster gain 1000 ATK until the End Phase. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Well she is a Tuner monster and does let you temporarily give your Synchro Summoned monster 1000 ATK but not only do you have to pay to use the effect but she has no effects to protect herself. |
| TDGS-EN080 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Overworked Normal Trap Destroy each monster whose ATK is higher than its original ATK. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Most people don't even run Field Spells that power up their monsters so this card generally is useless. |
| TDGS-EN079 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Needlebug Nest Normal Trap Send the top 5 cards of your Deck to the Graveyard. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Helps for Lightsworn or DARK decks but is terrible elsewhere. |
| TDGS-EN078 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Fish Depth Charge Normal Trap Tribute 1 Fish-Type monster. Destroy 1 card on the field, and draw 1 card. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | You get to destroy 1 card on the field and draw 1 card but good luck finding decent Fish-Type monsters to use this on. |
| TDGS-EN077 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Judgment of Thunder Normal Trap Activate only when you Summon a Thunder-Type monster(s). Destroy 1 card your opponent controls. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Combo this with DNA Surgery and destroy multiple cards or just take out an opponent's card on the field but you have to summon a Thunder-Type monster to use this. |
| TDGS-EN076 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Intercept Counter Trap Activate only when a monster is Tribute Summoned with 1 Tribute. Take control of that monster. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | Snatch one of the deadly Monarchs or Summoned Skull right from your opponent's control! Doesn't work while Jinzo or Royal Decree are face up, though. |
| TDGS-EN075 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Lightsworn Barrier Continuous Trap When a face-up "Lightsworn" monster you control is selected as an attack target, you can send the top 2 cards of your Deck to the Graveyard to negate the attack. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Don't run this outside of Lightsworn decks. |
| TDGS-EN074 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Gladiator Beast War Chariot Counter Trap Activate only if you control a "Gladiator Beast" monster. Negate the activation of an Effect Monster's effect, and destroy it. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Keep this card in GB decks and run Skill Drain elsewhere. |
| TDGS-EN073 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Mind Over Matter Counter Trap Tribute 1 Psychic-Type monster. Negate the activation of a Spell or Trap Card, or the Normal or Special Summon of a monster, and destroy that card. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Where you aren't running Psychic-Type monsters, run a different card instead. |
| TDGS-EN072 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Telepathic Power Normal Trap Activate only when a face-up Psychic-Type monster you control is attacked and destroyed by battle with an opponent's monster. Destroy the monster that attacked, and gain Life Points equal to its ATK. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Stick to Draining Shield instead since it saves your monster and gives your LPs a boost. |
| TDGS-EN071 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Psychic Rejuvenation Normal Trap Gain 1000 Life Points for each face-up Psychic-Type monster you control. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | If you got 1000 LPs for every monster you control, then this card would have without a doubt gotten a higher rating but since it doesn't, keep this in Psychic-Type monster decks. |
| TDGS-EN070* | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Psychic Overload Normal Trap Select 3 Psychic-Type monsters in your Graveyard. Return them to the Deck, then draw 2 cards. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | If you happen to have 3 of the better Psychic-Type monsters in your Grave or you're running a Psychic-Type monster deck, then this card isn't too bad but is just horrible elsewhere. |
| TDGS-EN069 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Broken Blocker Normal Trap Activate only when a Defense Position monster you control, whose DEF is higher than its ATK, is destroyed by battle. Special Summon up to 2 monsters with the same name as that monster from your Deck in face-up Defense Position. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | This card is pretty situational. Sure there are monsters whose DEF exceed its ATK but you won't likely have more than one of them in your deck except for maybe Destiny Hero - Defender. |
| TDGS-EN068 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Synchro Deflector Normal Trap Activate only when a face-up Synchro Monster you control is selected as an attack target. Negate the attack and destroy 1 monster your opponent controls. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Use Sakuretsu Armor or Mirror Force instead as they need nothing but an attacking monster to activate. |
| TDGS-EN067 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Spacegate Continuous Trap When a monster your opponent controls attacks or is attacked, place 1 Gate Counter on this card at the end of the Damage Step. During your Main Phase, you can send this card to the Graveyard to Special Summon 1 monster from your hand whose Level is equal to or lower than the number of Gate Counters on this card. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Rack-up enough counters on it and you could summon a powerful monster but this card can easily get destroyed. |
| TDGS-EN066 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Remote Revenge Normal Trap Activate only when a monster you control is targeted by a Spell, Trap, or Effect Monster's effect that destroys 1 monster on the field. Switch the target to an appropriate monster your opponent controls. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Not too bad against cards like Zaborg and Man-Eater Bug but it too has limited uses. |
| TDGS-EN065 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Defense Draw Normal Trap Activate only during damage calculation during your opponent's turn. The Battle Damage you would receive becomes 0. Draw 1 card. RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It would get a higher rating if it reduced all Battle Damage you take to 0 but it still has some uses like if you would take major damage, this card saves your lifepoints and lets you draw 1 card. |
| TDGS-EN064 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Graceful Revival Continuous Trap Select 1 Level 2 or lower monster from your Graveyard and Special Summon it in Attack Position. When this card is removed from the field, destroy that monster. When that monster is removed from the field, destroy this card. RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Unless Disk Commander makes a graceful revival to the field, this card isn't going to get any play and even with Disk Commander back it won't see much play. |
| TDGS-EN063 | |
| Card Type: | Trap Card |
| Card Info | Equip Shot Normal Trap Activate only during the Battle Phase. Select 1 Equip Card equipped to a face-up Attack Position monster you control, and select 1 face-up Attack Position monster your opponent controls. Equip that monster with the selected Equip Card. Then, conduct battle between your previously equipped monster and the selected monster (other effects cannot be activated during this battle). COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It can help give your monster a decent boost but that's about it. |
| TDGS-EN062 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Book of Eclipse Quick-Play Spell Change all face-up monsters on the field to face-down Defense Position. During the End Phase, flip all face-down Defense Position monsters your opponent controls face-up, and your opponent draws 1 card for each. COMMON |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | Re-use your Flip-Effect monsters and or put your opponent's monsters face down to remove them with NoC or by taking them out with your own monsters! |
| TDGS-EN061 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Recycling Batteries Normal Spell Add 2 Thunder-Type monsters with 1500 or less ATK from your Graveyard to your hand. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Bad outside Batteryman decks. Need I say more? |
| TDGS-EN060 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Unstable Evolution Equip Spell While your Life Points are lower than your opponent's, the equipped monster's original ATK becomes 2400. While your Life Points are higher than your opponent's, its original ATK becomes 1000. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | Lower an opponent's stronger monster to 1000 ATK to easily take it out or make your weaker monster stronger! The downside is its effects depend on your current LPs. |
| TDGS-EN059 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Lightsworn Sabre Equip Spell Equip only to a "Lightsworn" monster. It gains 700 ATK. When this card is sent from your Deck to your Graveyard, you can equip it to 1 "Lightsworn" monster you control. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Where you aren't using this, use Malevolent Nuzzler instead. |
| TDGS-EN058 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Power Filter Continuous Spell Neither player can Special Summon monsters with 1000 or less ATK. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Why UDE thought this card was worthy of being a Super Rare is beyond me since pretty much the only non-banned playable monster that fits its requirements is Sangan. |
| TDGS-EN057 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Geartown Field Spell Both players can Tribute Summon "Ancient Gear" monsters with 1 less Tribute than required. When this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 "Ancient Gear" monster from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard. COMMON |
| Rating: | 4 |
| Comments: | Since it applies to both players, it's rating is 4 stars but very good with Ancient Gear Beast and Golem! |
| TDGS-EN056 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Mirror of Yata Equip Spell Equip only to a Spirit monster. The equipped monster does not have to have its effect that returns it to the hand activated. If it would be destroyed by battle, destroy this card instead. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | At least it'll keep your Spirit monster on the field but if it goes, so does your Spirit-Type monster. |
| TDGS-EN055 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Orb of Yasaka Equip Spell Equip only to a Spirit monster. When it destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, gain Life Points equal to that monster's original ATK. When the equipped monster you control is returned to the hand and this card is sent to the Graveyard, return this card to your hand. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | Use Guardian Angel Joan instead. |
| TDGS-EN054 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Sword of Kusanagi Equip Spell Equip only to a Spirit monster. During battle, when it attacks a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of the equipped monster, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent. When the equipped monster you control is returned to the hand and this card is sent to the Graveyard, return this card to your hand. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | It isn't too bad with the stronger Spirit monsters but even so, I wouldn't use it. |
| TDGS-EN053* | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Emergency Teleport Quick-Play Spell Special Summon 1 Level 3 or lower Psychic-Type monster from your hand or Deck. During the End Phase this turn, remove from play that monster. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | A pretty bad Ultra Rare card. If you aren't Synchro Summoning with them, leave this card out. |
| TDGS-EN052 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Psi-Impulse Normal Spell Tribute 1 Psychic-Type monster. Return all cards in your opponent's hand to the Deck. Then, they draw 3 cards. COMMON |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | This card gives your opponent the complete advantage! Not worth it in any deck. |
| TDGS-EN051 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Psi-Station Continuous Spell When a Psychic-Type monster is Normal Summoned, you can pay 500 Life Points to have it gain 300 ATK and increase its Level by 1. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Since most Psychic-Type monsters are weak anyway and can at least be used to Synchro Summon (since they generally don't have anything else) this card has some uses but not much. |
| TDGS-EN050 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Lightwave Tuning Normal Spell Select 1 Level 4 LIGHT monster you control. It is treated as a Tuner monster while it is face-up on the field. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | If you can find a decent Level 4 LIGHT monster like X-Head Cannon, this card isn't too bad but it has literally limited uses. |
| TDGS-EN049 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | De-Synchro Normal Spell Select 1 face-up Synchro Monster. Return it to its owner's Extra Deck. Then, if all the monsters that were used for the Synchro Summon of that monster are in your Graveyard, you can Special Summon them. RARE |
| Rating: | 1 |
| Comments: | All this card is a poor excuse to have extra tributes and you can't activate it if it's face down. |
| TDGS-EN048 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Battle Tuned Quick-Play Spell Remove from play 1 Tuner monster from your Graveyard. Target face-up monster you control gains ATK equal to the removed monster's ATK. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It's the fact that you have to remove from play a Tuner monster that hurts this card and its rating. |
| TDGS-EN047 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Junk Barrage Equip Spell When the equipped monster destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, inflict damage to your opponent equal to half the destroyed monster's ATK. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | If it inflicted the entire ATK, its rating would've at least doubled but that isn't the case. |
| TDGS-EN046 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Domino Effect Continuous Spell When a monster your opponent controls is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can send 1 monster you control to the Graveyard to destroy 1 monster your opponent controls. COMMON |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | If the monster was like Sangan or something, then this card isn't too bad but it isn't very good. |
| TDGS-EN045 | |
| Card Type: | Spell Card |
| Card Info | Fighting Spirit Equip Spell The equipped monster gains 300 ATK for each monster your opponent controls. If it would be destroyed by battle, you can destroy this card instead. RARE |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | Your opponent will generally have 2 monsters on the field on average due to Cyber Dragon, which'll give your monster a nice 600 ATK! |
| TDGS-EN044* | |
| Card Type: | Synchro Monster |
| Card Info | Thought Ruler Archfiend DARK / Psychic-Type Synchro / Level 8 / ATK 2700 / DEF 2300 1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters When this card destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, gain Life Points equal to that monster's original ATK. You can pay 1000 Life Points to negate the activation of a Spell or Trap Card that targets 1 Psychic-Type monster, and destroy it. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | It's clear that UDE didn't even think about this card's name and its effect is certainly isn't too much to think about either. |
| TDGS-EN043 | |
| Card Type: | Synchro Monster |
| Card Info | Magical Android LIGHT / Psychic-Type Synchro / Level 5 / ATK 2400 / DEF 1700 1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters During your End Phase, gain 600 Life Points for each face-up Psychic-Type monster you control. SUPER RARE |
| Rating: | 2 |
| Comments: | Even if you don't run Psychic-Type monsters, his 2400 ATK isn't too bad but it's his needing 2 monsters that bring his rating down and his effect keeps the rating from dropping lower. |
| TDGS-EN042* | |
| Card Type: | Synchro Monster |
| Card Info | Goyo Guardian EARTH / Warrior-Type Synchro / Level 6 / ATK 2800 / DEF 2000 1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon that monster to your side of the field in face-up Defense Position. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | Normally, a card like this would get 1 star but due to his effect, I have given him two more but it's his level and stats that keep his rating from being higher. |
| TDGS-EN041* | |
| Card Type: | Synchro Monster |
| Card Info | Red Dragon Archfiend DARK / Dragon-Type Synchro / Level 8 / ATK 3000 / DEF 2000 1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters If this card attacks a Defense Position monster your opponent controls, destroy all Defense Position monsters your opponent controls after damage calculation. During the End Phase, destroy all other monsters you control that did not declare an attack this turn. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 4 |
| Comments: | A very powerful Synchro monster! His only downside (and reason why his rating isn't 5/5) is that every monster you have that didn't attack gets destroyed. |
| TDGS-EN040** | |
| Card Type: | Synchro Monster |
| Card Info | Stardust Dragon WIND / Dragon-Type Synchro / Level 8 / ATK 2500 / DEF 2000 1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters You can Tribute this card to negate the activation of a Spell Card, Trap Card, or Effect Monster's effect that destroys a card(s) on the field, and destroy that card. If you negate an effect this way, you can Special Summon this card from your Graveyard during the End Phase. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | His stats and losing himself to negate the card effect and destroy it are why his rating is only 3 stars. Still a decent card to use, though! |
| TDGS-EN039* | |
| Card Type: | Synchro Monster |
| Card Info | Nitro Warrior FIRE / Warrior-Type Synchro / Level 7 / ATK 2800 / DEF 1800 "Nitro Synchron" + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters Once during each of your turns, if you activated a Spell Card, this card gains 1000 ATK during its next attack, for damage calculation only. Once per turn, if this attacking card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, you can change 1 face-up Defense Position monster your opponent controls to Attack Position, and attack it with this card. ULTRA RARE |
| Rating: | 3 |
| Comments: | Use any decent Spell Card to destroy your opponent's defenses, power this guy up and let him destroy 2 monsters in one turn! The downside is he can't just simply attack a second monster. |
