*Also available as an Ultimate Rare card
TSHD-EN039*
Herald of Perfection
LIGHT / Fairy-Type Ritual / Level 6 / ATK 1800 / DEF 2800
This card can only be Ritual Summoned with the Ritual Spell Card, "Dawn of the Herald". When your opponent uses a Spell Card, Trap Card, or Effect Monster's effect, you can send 1 Fairy-Type monster from your hand to the Graveyard to negate the use and destroy that card.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: She works well with the other Fairy-Type monster Honest and being Level 6 can be powered up with Ritual Weapon! Since I must discard Fairy-Type monsters to negate, her rating is 3/5 stars.
TSHD-EN038
Hunter of Black Feathers
LIGHT / Beast-Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 1000
While your opponent controls 2 or more face-up monsters, all of the same Type, you can send 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard to select and destroy 1 face-up monster your opponent controls.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: What's up with the name? I thought "Black Feather" wasn't okay for the TCG? Nevertheless, he'll be the hunted with those stats.
TSHD-EN037
Ally of Justice Core Destroyer
DARK / Machine / Level 3 / ATK 1200 / DEF 200
If this card attacks or is attacked by a LIGHT monster, destroy that monster at the start of the Damage Step (without damage calculation).
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: How many cores has Catastor's offspring destroyed with those stats? Or is it because he destroyed those cores that his stats are this weak? Well he's no match for Earth's core or this set's core cards.
TSHD-EN036
Key Mouse
EARTH / Beast-Type Tuner / Level 1 / ATK 100 / DEF 100
When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can add 1 Level 3 or lower Beast-Type monster from your Deck to your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: A Tuner that decided to rip-off Super Mega Nimble Hamster's effect except he made it worse!  While not a Tuner, SMNH is the better card.
TSHD-EN035
Batteryman Fuel Cell
LIGHT / Thunder / Level 6 / ATK 2100 / DEF 0
If you control 2 or more face-up "Batteryman" monsters, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. Once per turn, you can Tribute 1 other "Batteryman" monster to return 1 card your opponent controls to the owner's hand.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: "New from the makers of Batteryman Button Cell and Batteryman AA comes our worst Batteryman yet!" He's only fuel for the fire, literally in some cases because you won't likely use him.
TSHD-EN034
Batteryman AAA
LIGHT / Thunder / Level 4 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
When this card is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up, you can Special Summon 1 "Batteryman AAA" from your hand or Graveyard.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Looks like he's a defective battery because he has no charge in ATK or DEF. Duracell should hear about this! He gets a negative charge from me: A 1/5.
TSHD-EN033
Ronintoadin
WATER / Aqua / Level 2 / ATK 100 / DEF 2000
This card's name is treated as "Des Frog" while face-up on the field. You can remove from play 1 "Frog" monster in your Graveyard, except "Frog the Jam", to Special Summon this card from your Graveyard. This card cannot be used as a Synchro Material Monster.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: 2000 DEF and is part of that annoying Frog deck that has come back to life, despite dying when SOI came out.
TSHD-EN032
Testudo erat Numen
WATER / Aqua / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 1800
Neither player can Special Summon monsters with 1800 or more ATK.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: I'll just Normal Summon an 1850 ATK monster like Blazing Inpachi and run this guy over. I don't know what the card's name means but it translates to me as "Totally not Playable".
TSHD-EN031
Trigon
FIRE / Dragon-Type Union / Level 3 / ATK 500 / DEF 1700
Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can equip this card to a Machine-Type monster you control, OR unequip it to Special Summon this card in face-up Attack Position. While equipped to a monster by this effect, if the equipped monster destroys an opponent's monster by battle, select and Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower LIGHT Machine-Type monster from your Graveyard. (A monster can only be equipped with 1 Union monster at a time. If the equipped monster would be destroyed, destroy this card instead.)
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: It Special Summons Level 4 or below LIGHT Machine-Type monsters but how many of those are playable today? I can tell you that there aren't many, ignoring the Level 4 or lower part.
TSHD-EN030
Delta Tri
LIGHT / Machine / Level 4 / ATK 1200 / DEF 1000
If this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, select and activate 1 of these effects:
● Select 1 appropriate Union monster in your Graveyard and equip it to this card.
● Select 1 face-up LIGHT Machine-Type monster you control, and return it to the Deck. Then draw 1 card.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: No one would waste an Honest to use on this guy, even for its effect since it's very specific on what you return to the Deck to draw that card.
TSHD-EN029
Memory Crush King
DARK / Fiend / Level 5 / ATK 2000 / DEF 0
When this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent by a direct attack, remove from play all Synchro Monsters in your opponent's Graveyard, and inflict 1000 damage to your opponent for each monster removed.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: He must inflict Battle Damage from a direct attack and even then, what are the odds your opponent will have Synchros in their Grave? Even if you do pull off his effect, you'll probably only deal 1000 damage.
TSHD-EN028
Koa'ki Meiru Sandman
EARTH / Rock / Level 4 / ATK 1900 / DEF 1200
During each of your End Phases, destroy this card unless you send 1 "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" from your hand to the Graveyard or reveal 1 Rock-Type monster in your hand. You can Tribute this card to negate the activation of an opponent's Trap Card and destroy that card.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Mr Sandman, bring me a drink.....so that I can put it on top of you to convert you into a coaster.
TSHD-EN027
Wattwoodpecker
LIGHT / Thunder / Level 3 / ATK 1000 / DEF 100
This card can attack twice during each Battle Phase. Any monster that battles with this card cannot change its battle position.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: How much wood can a Wattwoodpecker peck since a Wattwoodpecker can peck wood? This one can't peck much with those stats.
TSHD-EN026
Wattfox
LIGHT / Thunder-Type Tuner / Level 2 / ATK 800 / DEF 100
If this card is destroyed by your opponent's card (either by battle or by card effect), your opponent cannot Special Summon a monster, or activate Spells, Traps, Spell/Trap card effects, or Monster Card effects, for the rest of this turn.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: If it included any Summon, then this guy would've gotten a higher rating but still, once he gets destroyed, your opponent is pretty much left with the End Phase or setting cards.
TSHD-EN025
Wattgiraffe
LIGHT / Thunder / Level 4 / ATK 1200 / DEF 100
This card can attack your opponent directly. When this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent by a direct attack, your opponent cannot activate the effects of any Spell, Trap, or Effect Monster Cards until the End Phase of this turn.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: If you can get through successfully with this guy's effect he isn't too bad but he probably should've been a Rare.
TSHD-EN024
Lyna the Light Charmer
LIGHT / Spellcaster / Level 3 / ATK 500 / DEF 1500
FLIP: Take control of 1 LIGHT monster your opponent controls, while this card is face-up on the field.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Following the failure of her darker half in PTDN, she is no better off in this set, or anywhere except being your drink coaster. Lyna is no prince charming for sure.
TSHD-EN023
Magidog
LIGHT / Spellcaster / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 1000
If this card is sent to the Graveyard for the Synchro Summon of a Spellcaster-Type Synchro Monster, you can add 1 Field Spell Card from your Graveyard to your hand.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: For it's only trick, Magidog is going to rip-off the effect of Terraforming! More like Magidud as it doesn't do anything exciting.
TSHD-EN022
Cherry Inmato
DARK / Plant-Type Tuner / Level 2 / ATK 700 / DEF 400
When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon up to 2 "Inmato" monsters from your Deck. The monster(s) Special Summoned by this effect cannot be used as Synchro Material Monsters this turn.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: A Tuner monster that can free Inmato from Clock Tower Prison or bring out two of its siblings isn't too bad but very limited on its uses.
TSHD-EN021
Biofalcon
LIGHT / Machine / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 1200
When a Machine-Type monster you control is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard while this card is face-up on the field, you can add 1 Machine-Type monster with 1000 or less ATK from your Deck to your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: I see a trend here. Seems that all "Bio" monsters are terrible. We had Biomage back in whatever set that was and it's worse than this card!
TSHD-EN020
Fairy Archer
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 3 / ATK 1400 / DEF 600
During your Main Phase, you can inflict 400 damage to your opponent for each face-up LIGHT monster you control. This card cannot attack during the same turn you activate this effect. Only one "Fairy Archer" can have its effect activated per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: How much is this fairy in the window? Oh about $0.50 for her lack of playability and rather pitiful-looking arrow.
