ABYR-EN059*
Spellbook of Fate
Quick-Play Spell
If you control a Spellcaster-Type monster: You can banish up to 3 "Spellbook" Spell Cards from your Graveyard; apply this effect, depending on the number of Spell Cards banished for this card's activation. You can only activate 1 "Spellbook of Fate" per turn.
● 1: Return 1 Set Spell/Trap Card on the field to the hand.
● 2: Change 1 monster on the field to face-down Defense Position or face-up Attack Position.
● 3: Banish 1 card your opponent controls.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: The sad thing is, being a Quick-Play Spell and its last effect are the only reasons why this card didn't get a lower rating and that makes this card's rarity less understandable.
ABYR-EN058
Spellbook of Eternity
Normal Spell
Target 1 of your banished "Spellbook" Spell Cards, except "Spellbook of Eternity"; add that target to your hand. You can only activate 1 "Spellbook of Eternity" per turn.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: You get to reuse any banished Spellbook Spell a second time but if by chance this is your only banished one, this card in your hand becomes useless.
ABYR-EN057
Lemuria, the Forgotten City
Field Spell
This card's name is treated as "Umi". All WATER monsters gain 200 ATK and DEF. Once per turn, during your Main Phase: You can have all WATER monsters you currently control gain Levels equal to the number of WATER monsters you currently control, until the End Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: This isn't a bad substitute for A Legendary Ocean or Umi but you're limited to a total of 3 copies thanks to this card's effect.
ABYR-EN056
Abyss-scale of the Kraken
Equip Spell
Equip only to a "Mermail" monster. It gains 400 ATK. When a monster effect that was activated on your opponent's side of the field resolves, negate that effect, then send this card to the Graveyard.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It basically sacrifices itself to save your monster from whatever peril threatens it but the monster itself is still a threat if its ATK is higher.
ABYR-EN055
Advanced Heraldry Art
Normal Spell
Target 2 "Heraldic Beast" monsters in your Graveyard; Special Summon both those targets. Immediately after this card resolves, Xyz Summon 1 Xyz Monster using those 2 monsters only.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: You get two free monsters that you have to Xyz Summon with right away but that puts you at risk of your opponent's response.
ABYR-EN054
Gravity Blaster
Equip Spell
Equip only to a Machine-Type monster. Once per turn: You can activate this effect; it permanently gains 400 ATK. (This ATK gain remains even if this card leaves the field or the monster becomes unaffected by card effects.) If it battles an opponent's monster, that monster's effect is negated during the Battle Phase only.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: This one gets the higher end of its rating because the boost stays, regardless of whether or not this card is on the field and it negates monsters its target battles with!
ABYR-EN053
Tannhauser Gate
Normal Spell
Target 2 monsters you control of the same Type with 1000 or less ATK; both monsters' Levels become the combined Levels of those 2 monsters.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: The most obvious use would be using the two monsters you end up with via Tour Guide as both monsters have the same ATK and Level but there won't be much else.
ABYR-EN052
Different Dimension Deepsea Trench
Continuous Spell
When this card resolves: Banish 1 WATER monster from your hand, Graveyard, or face-up on your field. Then, when this face-up card on the field is destroyed: Special Summon that banished monster to your side of the field.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It'll help you bring out those high-level WATER monsters but because of this card's effect, you won't get to do it more than once without playing another copy.
ABYR-EN051
One-Shot Wand
Equip Spell
Equip only to a Spellcaster-Type monster. It gains 800 ATK. If the equipped monster attacks or is attacked, after damage calculation: You can destroy this card, and if you do, draw 1 card.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Since you'll probably lose the monster in battle at some point anyway, you get a free draw out of this by having it self-destruct after the Damage Step.
ABYR-EN050
Gagagigo the Risen
WATER / Reptile-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK 2950 / DEF 2800
3 Level 4 monsters
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: No negative or positive effect to be found here but its stats are just shy of being decent.
ABYR-EN049
Snowdust Giant
WATER / Beast-Warrior-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK 2200 / DEF 800
2 Level 4 WATER monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; reveal any number of WATER monsters from your hand, and place that many Ice Counters on face-up monsters on the field. Non-WATER monsters on the field lose 200 ATK for each Ice Counter on the field.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: In an all-WATER deck, this'll get some use, though it isn't very strong and specifically needs WATER Xyz Materials.
ABYR-EN048*
Madolche Queen Tiaramisu
EARTH / Fairy-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK 2200 / DEF 2100
2 Level 4 "Madolche" monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target up to 2 "Madolche" cards in your Graveyard; shuffle those cards into the Deck, then shuffle cards your opponent controls into the Deck, up to the number of "Madolche" cards returned.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Her half Pot of Avarice and half Brionac effect isn't bad but she too demands specific Xyz Materials.
ABYR-EN047*
Empress of Prophecy
LIGHT / Spellcaster-Type Xyz / Rank 5 / ATK 2000 / DEF 1700
2 Level 5 Spellcaster-Type monsters
This card gains 300 ATK for each Xyz Material attached to a monster you control. Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; shuffle your Deck, then reveal the top 5 cards of your Deck and destroy monsters on the field up to the number of "Spellbook" cards revealed, then return the revealed cards to the top of the Deck in any order.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Since Spellcaster decks have a fair bit of support to work with, you probably won't have much trouble getting her out but her effect is a bit of a gamble.
ABYR-EN046*
Mermail Abyssgaios
WATER / Aqua-Type Xyz / Rank 7 / ATK 2800 / DEF 1600
2 Level 7 WATER monsters
While this face-up card has Xyz Material, Level 5 or higher monsters cannot attack. Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; negate the effects of all face-up monsters your opponent currently controls that have less ATK than this card, until the end of the turn.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Meet its high demands and you've got a powerhouse on your field but it's very easy to play around, simply by having your monster gain ATK or have this guy lose ATK.
ABYR-EN045
Number 8: Heraldic King Genom-Heritage
LIGHT / Psychic-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK 2400 / DEF 1800
2 Level 4 "Heraldic Beast" monsters
Once per turn: You can target 1 face-up Xyz Monster your opponent controls; this card's name and original ATK become that monster's name and current ATK, and this card's effect becomes that monster's original effect, then that monster's ATK becomes 0 and its effects are negated. These changes last until the End Phase.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It requests Heraldic Beasts as Xyz Materials and its effect, which isn't too bad, is specific to Xyz Monsters but you don't have to detach its Xyz Materials to use it.
ABYR-EN044*
Number 9: Dyson Sphere
LIGHT / Machine-Type Xyz / Rank 9 / ATK 2800 / DEF 3000
2 Level 9 monsters
Once per Battle Step, during your opponent's turn, if this card with Xyz Material is attacked: Negate the attack (this is a Quick Effect). When this card is targeted for an attack while it has no Xyz Materials: You can target 2 monsters in your Graveyard; attach those targets to this card as Xyz Materials. During your Main Phase 1: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; this card can attack your opponent directly this turn. Your opponent must control a monster with higher ATK than this card for you to activate and to resolve this effect.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: You have your work cut-out bringing this guy to the field but once you do, you basically have infinite Xyz Materials for him thanks to his effect!
ABYR-EN043
Heroic Champion - Kusanagi
EARTH / Warrior-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK 2500 / DEF 2400
3 Level 4 Warrior-Type monsters
Once per turn, during either player's turn, when a Trap Card is activated: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it, then this card gains 500 ATK.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: The difference with this guy over Gandiva is his effect. He stops Trap Cards during either player's turn and gets stronger, not to mention he is stronger, which IMO is better.
ABYR-EN042*
Heroic Champion - Gandiva
EARTH / Warrior-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK 2100 / DEF 1800
2 Level 4 Warrior-Type monsters
Once per turn, when a Level 4 or lower monster(s) is Special Summoned to your opponent's side of the field (except during the Damage Step): You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; destroy that Special Summoned monster(s).
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Requiring somewhat specific materials, having fairly weak stats and stopping only Special Summoned Level 4 or less monsters outside the Damage Step will not leave it with a high rating in my book.
ABYR-EN041
Gagaga Cowboy
EARTH / Warrior-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK 1500 / DEF 2400
2 Level 4 monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; apply this effect, depending on this card's battle position.
● Attack Position: If this card attacks an opponent's monster this turn, it gains 1000 ATK and the opponent's monster loses 500 ATK, during the Damage Step only.
● Defense Position: Inflict 800 damage to your opponent.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Neither effect is all that potent but it has 2400 DEF to somewhat make up for your effort.
ABYR-EN040
One-Eyed Skill Gainer
LIGHT / Warrior-Type Xyz / Rank 4 / ATK 2500 / DEF 2600
3 Level 4 monsters
You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to target 1 face-up Xyz Monster your opponent controls; this card's name and original effect become the same as that monster. This effect can only be used once while this card is face-up on the field.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: He can become any Xyz Monster you want but he only gets one time to do it while face up.
