PHSW-EN019
Evolsaur Vulcano
FIRE / Dinosaur / Level 4 / ATK 1200 / DEF 1000
When this card is Special Summoned by the effect of an "Evoltile" monster: You can target 1 "Evolsaur" monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target. It cannot declare an attack.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Since he prevents the Special Summoned monster from attacking, you can't do much else except either use the new monster for a Synchro or Xyz Summon or get it face down. 
PHSW-EN018
Evoltile Odonto
FIRE / Reptile / Level 2 / ATK 500 / DEF 1200
When this card is Normal Summoned: You can Special Summon 1 "Evolsaur" monster from your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Same as PHSW-EN016's comments.  
PHSW-EN017
Evoltile Westlo
FIRE / Reptile / Level 3 / ATK 700 / DEF 1900
FLIP: Special Summon 1 "Evolsaur" monster from your Deck.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Same as PHSW-EN016's comments. 
PHSW-EN016
Evoltile Grephyro
FIRE / Reptile / Level 1 / ATK 200 / DEF 400
When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 "Evolsaur" monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: The most logical target for this guy is Cerato because he'll have 2100 ATK (1900 +200 by his effect) and he can pick up more copies of this guy each time he runs over a monster. 
PHSW-EN015
Photon Cerberus
LIGHT / Beast / Level 3 / ATK 1300 / DEF 600
During the turn this card was Normal Summoned, neither player can activate Trap Cards while this card is face-up on the field.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Nothing above Common status is what this card should've gotten because it won't stick around very long with those pitiful stats.
PHSW-EN014
Plasma Ball
LIGHT / Thunder / Level 3 / ATK 900 / DEF 900
This card can attack your opponent directly. When this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent by a direct attack: Destroy this card.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: A Meklord Emperor deck is the only place where you can literally have a ball besides Agent decks.
PHSW-EN013
Lightserpent
LIGHT / Reptile / Level 3 / ATK 1200 / DEF 800
If this card is sent from the hand to your Graveyard: You can Special Summon it from the Graveyard. This card cannot be used as a Synchro Material Monster.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Unlike Needle Sunfish, it does matter how this card goes to the Grave to trigger the effect so unless for an Xyz or Tribute, he's pointless.
PHSW-EN012
Daybreaker
LIGHT / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1700 / DEF 0
When this card is Special Summoned: You can Special Summon 1 "Daybreaker" from your hand.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Marauding Captain or his "poser" can bring this guy out and you get to bring out a 2nd one but with those low stats, it likely won't be enough.
PHSW-EN011**
Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon
LIGHT / Dragon / Level 8 / ATK 3000 / DEF 2500
You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by Tributing 2 monsters with 2000 or more ATK. During either player's Battle Step, when this card battles an opponent's monster: You can target the monster this card is battling; banish both it and this card, then any monster banished by this effect returns to the field at the end of the Battle Phase. If the monster banished by this effect was an Xyz Monster, this card gains 500 ATK for each Xyz Material the Xyz Monster had when it was banished.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: The ATK boost from banishing Xyz Monsters with Xyz Materials attached is permanent but no matter how you slice it, this card really isn't worth summoning or being in its rarities.
PHSW-EN010
Needle Sunfish
WATER / Fish / Level 3 / ATK 1500 / DEF 100
When this card is sent to the Graveyard: Target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; that target loses 500 ATK.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Doesn't matter HOW he goes to the Grave so you could discard it or use Foolish Burial to trigger the effect but 500 ATK lost, permanent or not isn't much by itself.
PHSW-EN009
Shark Stickers
WATER / Fish / Level 3 / ATK 200 / DEF 1000
When a Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua-Type monster is Normal or Special Summoned to your side of the field: You can Special Summon this card from your hand. This card cannot be used as a Synchro Material Monster.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: Its effect even applies to itself so if you bring one out, you'll be able to bring out up to four other monsters in a single turn! It does have to be a specific monster and you can't use itself as Synchro Material.
PHSW-EN008
Friller Rabca
WATER / Fish / Level 3 / ATK 700 / DEF 1500
When a face-up Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua-Type monster you control is targeted for an attack: You can banish this card from your Graveyard to target the attacking monster; negate the attack, and that target loses 500 ATK until your next End Phase. The effect of "Friller Rabca" can only be activated once per turn.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Not really worth being Super Rare because unlike the better Necro Gardna, you can't use its effect more than once per turn and is specific on what monster you can save with its effect.
PHSW-EN007
Pinecono
EARTH / Plant / Level 1 / ATK 400 / DEF 200
If this card is sent to the Graveyard by the effect of "Acorno": You can Special Summon this card from the Graveyard.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Oh good, the other annoying object trees make IRL that ends up getting trashed. Either save this for some coaster or bookmark or toss it into the trash because your Deck will be fine without it.
PHSW-EN006
Acorno
EARTH / Plant / Level 1 / ATK 200 / DEF 400
During your Main Phase: You can send 1 "Pinecono" from your hand to the Graveyard, and Special Summon this card from the hand.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Much like real acorns, this one will drop from the sky and onto the ground (or into a trash can) to be stepped on and uncared for.  
PHSW-EN005
Kagetokage
DARK / Reptile / Level 4 / ATK 1100 / DEF 1500
Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. When you Normal Summon a Level 4 monster: You can Special Summon this card from your hand. This card cannot be used as a Synchro Material Monster.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: He's easy to bring out but what good is he other than for an Xyz Monster and even then, the best ones aren't even out yet. 
PHSW-EN004
Stinging Swordsman
WIND / Warrior / Level 1 / ATK 300 / DEF 600
When this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent: Return all face-up cards in your opponent's Spell & Trap Card Zones to the hand.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: With a mere 300 ATK, your opponent won't likely be feeling this swordsman's sting anytime soon and even when they do, not much will likely happen as a result.
PHSW-EN003
Rai Rider
LIGHT / Thunder / Level 3 / ATK 1200 / DEF 1400
If this card battles an opponent's monster: That monster cannot attack while it is face-up on the field.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: The monster at least can't attack during any of its future turns face up but your opponent can just use Book of Moon or Tribute it for a monster that can attack. 
PHSW-EN002
Rabidragon
LIGHT / Dragon / Level 8 / ATK 2950 / DEF 2900
It's a snowfield-dwelling, giant-ear-sporting, super-acoustic, snowball-shaped mutant dragon! There's no way anybody can escape.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: It's that 50 less ATK that makes him just short of being good because BEWD leaves plenty of escape time for witnesses of this failure. 
PHSW-EN001
Bunilla
EARTH / Beast / Level 1 / ATK 100 / DEF 2050
This rabbit's got a sweet tooth! He's on a quest for the world's sweetest carrot, and just wants to nibble carrots all day today, tomorrow, and the day after that!
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: A narrow escape from the 1/5 monster for this rabbit because that 2050 fends off Rai-Ohs and of course Alexandrite Dragons to name a couple but is the next meal for anything stronger than that.
PHSW-EN000
Alexandrite Dragon
LIGHT / Dragon / Level 4 / ATK 2000 / DEF 100
Many of the czars' lost jewels can be found in the scales of this priceless dragon. Its creator remains a mystery, along with how they acquired the imperial treasures. But whosoever finds this dragon has hit the jackpot... whether they know it or not.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 4
Comments: About time we have a strong Level 4 Normal Monster as a Sneak Preview card! He's quickly best friends with Honest and of course that Rescue Rabbit in this set or just about any deck!
