PRIO-EN019

RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It's easy to trigger its effect but not to succeed with the effect.
PRIO-EN018
Sylvan Cherubsprout
LIGHT / Plant / Level 1 / ATK 100 / DEF 100
When this card is Special Summoned: You can choose either 1 or 2, then excavate that many cards from the top of your Deck, send any excavated Plant-Type monsters to the Graveyard, also place the other cards on the bottom of your Deck in any order.

Rating: 2
Comments: The first of the new Sylvan archtype, whose effects uses the term excavate and with some luck, you could get a Plant-Type monster to drop into your Grave but if luck isn't with you, the strategy falls apart and I know that firsthand as I played against someone using this Deck.
PRIO-EN017
Artifact Caduceus
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 5 / ATK 1600 / DEF 2400
You can Set this card from your hand to your Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Spell Card. During your opponent's turn, when this Set card in the Spell & Trap Card Zone is destroyed and sent to your Graveyard: Special Summon it. During your opponent's turn, each time an "Artifact" monster(s) is Special Summoned: Draw 1 card. You must control this face-up card to activate and to resolve this effect. You can only control 1 "Artifact Caduceus".
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: You get two ways to replace a card you've lost on your field and both involve this guy but as a Level 5 monster, he's pretty weak compared to the more playable Monarchs.
PRIO-EN016
Artifact Labrys
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 5 / ATK 2300 / DEF 1000
You can Set this card from your hand to your Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Spell Card.

PRIO-EN015
Artifact Achillieshield
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 5 / ATK 1500 / DEF 2200
You can Set this card from your hand to your Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Spell Card. During your opponent's turn, when this Set card in the Spell & Trap Card Zone is destroyed and sent to your Graveyard: Special Summon it. If this card is Special Summoned during your opponent's turn: Your opponent cannot target "Artifact" monsters you control for attacks for the rest of this turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: This one has the opposite problem to Aegis. Your Artifacts become safe from attacks but not from non-destructive effects.
PRIO-EN014
Artifact Aegis
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 5 / ATK 1200 / DEF 2500
You can Set this card from your hand to your Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Spell Card.

If this card is Special Summoned during your opponent's turn: "Artifact" monsters you control cannot be targeted or destroyed by your opponent's card effects until the end of this turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It saves your Set artifacts from any sort of harm and has 2500 DEF but you're no safer from attacks.
PRIO-EN013
Artifact Failnaught
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 5 / ATK 2000 / DEF 1600

During your opponent's turn, when this Set card in the Spell & Trap Card Zone is destroyed and sent to your Graveyard: Special Summon it. If this card is Special Summoned during your opponent’s turn: You can target 1 "Artifact" monster in your Graveyard; Set that target to your Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Spell Card.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: This one can help bring others out but that's if you're lucky enough to have drawn them earlier and his stats aren't as strong as the other two's.
PRIO-EN012
Artifact Begalltach
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 5 / ATK 1400 / DEF 2100

PRIO-EN011
Artifact Moralltach
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 5 / ATK 2100 / DEF 1400
You can Set this card from your hand to your Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Spell Card. During your opponent's turn, when this Set card in the Spell & Trap Card Zone is destroyed and sent to your Graveyard: Special Summon it. If this card is Special Summoned during your opponent's turn: You can destroy 1 face-up card your opponent controls.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Much like the sneak preview card, its effect prevents it from being a totally dead draw but will not provide you any help unless destroyed or Special Summoned during your opponent's turn.
PRIO-EN010
Umbral Horror Ghost
DARK / Fiend / Level 2 / ATK 200 / DEF 200
During your Main Phase: You can Special Summon this card and 1 Level 4 or lower Fiend-Type monster from your hand. You cannot Normal Summon/Set during the turn you activate this effect. You can only use this effect of "Umbral Horror Ghost" once per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Searchable and gives you 2 monsters for free but you can't Normal Summon or Set that turn, leaving you little to be able to do with them.
PRIO-EN009
Battlin' Boxer Veil
FIRE / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 0 / DEF 1800
When you take battle damage: You can Special Summon this card from your hand, and if you do, gain Life Points equal to the damage you took.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: This guy doesn't care how you take Battle Damage, making it a no-brainer to trigger its effect even from your attacks and you can Special Summon it in Defense Mode, which gives it enough DEF to last a while!
PRIO-EN008
Battlin' Boxer Big Bandage
FIRE / Warrior / Level 2 / ATK 1100 / DEF 1400
Once per turn, this card cannot be destroyed by battle. Once per turn: You can target 1 "Battlin' Boxer" monster in your Graveyard, or 1 of your banished "Battlin' Boxer" monsters, that has a Level; all "Battlin' Boxer" monsters you currently control become that monster's current Level.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It'll survive the first attack, giving it a chance to stick around long enough to use its effect if by chance you have to Set it and can choose from your Graveyard or your banished area to make it easier to Xyz Summon but it's best used with its friends.
PRIO-EN007
Blizzard Thunderbird
WATER / Winged Beast / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1400
You can discard 1 card; Special Summon 2 WATER Winged-Beast-Type monsters, 1 from your hand and 1 from your Graveyard, except "Blizzard Thunderbird", then return this card from the field to the hand. You can only use this effect of "Blizzard Thunderbird" once per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Its needs for its effect are very limited so the odds of you having its required monsters in your hand and Graveyard respectively are pretty slim, especially since they can't be other copies of itself and its stats are bad as well.
PRIO-EN006
Gazer Shark
WATER / Fish / Level 5 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1900
You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 2 Level 5 WATER monsters in your Graveyard, except "Gazer Shark"; Special Summon both those monsters, but their effects are negated. Immediately after this effect resolves, Xyz Summon 1 WATER Xyz Monster using only those 2 monsters. You can only use this effect of "Gazer Shark" once per turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It just has to be in your Graveyard along with two Level 5 WATER monsters to bring back, which isn't all that bad as you get an Xyz Monster out of the deal but it's pretty weak for a Level 5 monster.
PRIO-EN005
Mermaid Shark
WATER / Fish / Level 1 / ATK 100 / DEF 300
When this card is Normal Summoned: You can add 1 Level 3, 4 or 5 Fish-Type monster from your Deck to your hand.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: You can only get the 2nd monster if this guy is Normal Summoned but it gives you 3 possible choices.
PRIO-EN004
Heliosphere Dragon
LIGHT / Dragon / Level 4 / ATK 0 / DEF 1900
While your opponent has 4 or less cards in their hand and this card is the only monster you control, your opponent cannot declare an attack. Once per turn, if you control a Level 8 Dragon-Type monster: You can make this card become Level 8 until the End Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Your opponent will probably meet this card's requirements but you can't control any additional monsters if you want his effect to stay but his other effect can help you Xyz Summon Rank 8s.
PRIO-EN003
Galaxy Tyranno
LIGHT / Dinosaur / Level 8 / ATK 2000 / DEF 0
When a "Galaxy" monster you control is targeted for an attack: You can Special Summon this card from your hand in face-up Defense Position. When Summoned this way, you can: Immediately after this effect resolves, Xyz Summon 1 "Galaxy" Xyz Monster, using only "Galaxy" monsters you control.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: There's little point in Special Summoning a monster in face-up Defense Position if it has no DEF or effect to keep itself alive and Xyz Summoning during your opponent's turn is equally pointless since you're relying on the monster's effects.
PRIO-EN002
Galaxy Mirror Sage
LIGHT / Spellcaster / Level 3 / ATK 0 / DEF 800
FLIP: You gain 500 Life Points for each "Galaxy" monster in your Graveyard.
When this card is destroyed and sent from the field to the Graveyard after being flipped face-up: You can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Galaxy" monster from your Deck or Graveyard in face-down Defense Position. Banish it when it leaves the field.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: There aren't really all that many monsters that benefit from this card and since you gain Life Points based on that amount in your Graveyard, it won't be much and if your new Galaxy monster goes, it's banished.
PRIO-EN001
ZS - Vanish Sage
LIGHT / Warrior / Level 1 / ATK 500 / DEF 100
If you control a "Utopia" monster: You can draw 1 card. If a monster(s) you control is banished during the Battle Phase (except during the Damage Step): You can banish this card from the field, then target 1 of those banished monsters; Special Summon that target, and if you do, banish 1 monster your opponent controls that has 3000 or less ATK. You can only use 1 "ZS - Vanish Sage" effect per turn, and only once that turn.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It waits to do anything useful until one or more of your monsters is banished during the Battle Phase and trades itself for one of them and banishes an opponent's monster with it, which isn't all that bad but likely won't happen and this guy isn't very strong on his own.
PRIO-EN000
Artifact Scythe
LIGHT / Fairy / Level 5 / ATK 2200 / DEF 900
You can Set this card from your hand to your Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Spell Card. During your opponent's turn, when this Set card in the Spell & Trap Card Zone is destroyed and sent to your Graveyard: Special Summon it. If this card is Special Summoned during your opponent's turn: Your opponent cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck for the rest of this turn.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Since you probably have to declare that you're setting it as a Spell Card, your opponent will know to avoid it and it won't offer you anything until then but when it does, you get a 2200 ATK monster that prevents your opponent from Xyz, Synchro or (in just a few months) Pendulum Summoning that turn but at least I can bring it back via Call of the Haunted and still obtain its last effect.
