TSHD-EN019
Spore
WIND / Plant-Type Tuner / Level 1 / ATK 400 / DEF 800
If this card is in your Graveyard, you can remove from play 1 other Plant-Type monster from your Graveyard to Special Summon this card from your Graveyard, and increase its Level by the Level of the monster removed from play to activate this effect. Each player can only use the effect of "Spore" once per Duel.

Rating: 2
Comments: He does have his combos with Graceful Revival, Limit Reverse and his own effect, which isn't too bad for being a Tuner.
TSHD-EN018
Bird of Roses
WIND / Plant / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1500
When this face-up Attack Position card is destroyed by battle with an opponent's attacking monster and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 2 Plant-Type Tuner monsters from your Deck in face-up Defense Position.
SUPER RARE

Comments: At last another card I don't have to throw a lame pun at! Solid ATK, not-so-good-effect but still playable.
TSHD-EN017
Morphtronic Vacuumen
WIND / Machine / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
● While in Attack Position: Once per turn, you can send 1 card equipped to this card to the Graveyard to inflict 500 damage to your opponent.
● While in Defense Position: Once per turn, you can equip 1 face-up Attack Position monster your opponent controls to this card. (You can only equip 1 monster at a time to this card by this effect.)

Comments: Talk about sucking badly! No ATK, DEF or really anything good about it! Reminds me of those commercials where the broom is dumped for the Swiffer mop and this guy will have those days.
TSHD-EN016
Revival Rose
DARK / Plant / Level 4 / ATK 1300 / DEF 1300
If a Level 5 or higher Plant-Type monster you control is destroyed, you can Special Summon this card from your Graveyard.
RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: Oh good, it can come back from the Grave, only to die again shortly after! Every rose in Yu-Gi-Oh has its unplayability (except Bird of Roses).
TSHD-EN015
Infernity Avenger
DARK / Fiend-Type Tuner / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
When a monster you control, except "Infernity Avenger", is destroyed by battle with an opponent's monster and sent to the Graveyard, while you have no cards in your hand, you can Special Summon this card from your Graveyard. In that case, the Level of this card is equal to the Level of your destroyed monster.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: I guess they call him "avenger" because he's going to "avenge" your lost monster but I doubt that with no ATK or DEF.
TSHD-EN014
Infernity Beetle
DARK / Insect-Type Tuner / Level 2 / ATK 1200 / DEF 0
While you have no cards in your hand, you can Tribute this card to Special Summon up to 2 "Infernity Beetle" from your Deck.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: You can use him for anything but Infernities use this guy for bringing out multiple Mist Wurms in one turn.
TSHD-EN013
Infernity Randomizer
DARK / Warrior / Level 1 / ATK 900 / DEF 0
Once per turn, while you have no cards in your hand, you can draw 1 card and reveal it. For a Monster Card drawn with this effect, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the Level of that monster x 200. For a Spell or Trap Card, you take 500 damage.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: You're relying on one draw that can hurt you in the end, which is pretty bad, even for Infernities since they WANT a 0-card hand.
TSHD-EN012
Infernity Mirage
DARK / Fiend / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
This card cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard. If you have no cards in your hand, you can Tribute this card to select 2 "Infernity" monsters in your Graveyard. Special Summon those monsters.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: I have seen what Infirnities can do and essentially, they're like GB for they "tag" other Infirmities in the Grave for a Fusion or in this case Synchro Summon.
TSHD-EN011
Synchro Magnet
EARTH / Machine-Type Tuner / Level 3 / ATK 1000 / DEF 600
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. When you Synchro Summon a Synchro Monster, you can Special Summon this card from your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Too bad he can't be Normal Summoned but then again, this allows you to perform a Normal Summon, then bring this guy out with Giant Rat. Still, not all that great overall.
TSHD-EN010
Flare Resonator
FIRE / Fiend-Type Tuner / Level 3 / ATK 300 / DEF 1300
The Synchro Monster that used this card as a Synchro Material Monster gains 300 ATK.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Works as a Tuner but that's all he's good for besides being a coaster.
TSHD-EN009
Trust Guardian
LIGHT / Fairy-Type Tuner / Level 3 / ATK 0 / DEF 800
This card cannot be used as a Synchro Material Monster, except for the Synchro Summon of a Level 7 or higher Synchro Monster. Once per turn, that Synchro Monster cannot be destroyed by battle. Each time this effect is applied, that Synchro Monster loses 400 ATK and DEF at the end of the Damage Step.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: I can't trust a Tuner monster that can't be used for anything below Level 7 and Blackwing Armor Master does it for free what this guy does for a price.
TSHD-EN008
Dread Dragon
FIRE / Dragon-Type Tuner / Level 2 / ATK 1100 / DEF 400
When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can add 1 Level 3 or lower Dragon-Type monster from your Deck to your hand.
RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: Being a Tuner AND having the effect of searching out monsters like Masked Dragon or the new Golem Dragon is pretty decent, especially since its stats make it very easy to get its effect activated!
TSHD-EN007
Archfiend Interceptor
DARK / Fiend / Level 4 / ATK 1400 / DEF 1600
While you control this face-up Attack Position card, when an opponent's monster declares an attack, inflict 500 damage to your opponent.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Where is the part about intercept in his effect??? In the end, your monster will still die if it's weaker but this guy has lousy stats for a Level 4 monster so he has no help for himself.
TSHD-EN006
Second Booster
FIRE / Machine / Level 3 / ATK 1000 / DEF 500
You can Tribute this card to select 1 face-up Attack Position monster you control. The selected monster gains 1500 ATK until the End Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: 1500 ATK gain is pretty substantial, even until the End Phase because this guy won't be around anymore to hurt you back so you're sure to deal at least some decent damage with this guy.
TSHD-EN005
Card Breaker
LIGHT / Warrior / Level 2 / ATK 100 / DEF 900
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned, in face-up Attack Position, by sending 1 card from your Spell & Trap Card Zone to the Graveyard.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: The one called "Card Breaker" cannot compare to the breaking power of Breaker the Magical Warrior but this guy probably got the name from breaking into pieces after running into another card.
TSHD-EN004
Changer Synchron
DARK / Machine-Type Tuner / Level 1 / ATK 0 / DEF 0
If this card is sent to the Graveyard for a Synchro Summon, select 1 monster your opponent controls and change its battle position.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: What's there to say except he's a Tuner monster?
TSHD-EN003*
Blackwing - Breeze the Zephyr
DARK / Winged Beast-Type Tuner / Level 3 / ATK 1100 / DEF 300
If this card is added from your Deck to your hand by the effect of a Spell, Trap, or Monster Card, you can Special Summon this card. This card cannot be used as a Synchro Material Monster, except for the Synchro Summon of a "Blackwing" monster.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: Being a Tuner and having the ability to hit the field if added to the hand by a card effect is pretty good but it's restricted to Blackwings as a Synchro Material.
TSHD-EN002
Blackwing - Gust the Backblast
DARK / Winged Beast / Level 2 / ATK 900 / DEF 1400
If you control no cards, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. While this card is face-up on the field, if your opponent's monster attacks a "Blackwing" monster you control, the attacking monster loses 300 ATK during the Damage Step only.
RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: If you draw multiples on your first turn, then there's some minor uses with it but in most cases, this gust is more of a breeze.
TSHD-EN001
Blackwing - Ghibli the Searing Wind
DARK / Winged Beast / Level 3 / ATK 0 / DEF 1600
When your opponent declares a direct attack, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. Once per turn, you can switch the original ATK and DEF of this card, until the End Phase.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: I guess it works as a substitute until you get the amazing Battle Fader but it doesn't have much.
TSHD-EN000
XX-Saber Boggart Knight
EARTH / Beast-Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1900 / DEF 1000
When this card is Normal Summoned, you can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "X-Saber" monster from your hand. This card cannot be used as a Synchro Material Monster, except for the Synchro Summon of a "X-Saber" monster.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: Probably the best Sneak Peak card in quite a while! The only thing is it's restricted to X-Saber Synchros as a Synchro Material.
