I guess this card could work in any deck where an Attribute is required to help that deck out but it's not for every deck. Use Robbin' Goblin intead. Since most Trap Cards activate during the Battle Phase, this card is sure to come in handy! Without a good effect, a monster weaker than BEWD is certainly NOT playable because your opponent is only prevented from using Quick-Play Spells, so he's easily removed by everything else.

A very situational card. In most cases, you're not going to get a monster and even if you do, it might be one you can't Special Summon, which makes this card even worse. What hurts this card is that the difference in both players' Life Points must be at least 7000, which isn't very likely at all and even if the case occurs, it can easily be negated. The fact that it works on both players really brings this card's playability down. Don't use this card. The only thing that'll begone is this card for it won't be used.

Somewhat useful when you've flipped the Parasite Paracide card into your opponent's deck but not much else. Immensely horrible. Works well with Spell Cards your opponent uses on his or her's monsters but that's really it. Return a monster your opponent has with difficult summoning requirements or one that needed tributes back to the hand!

Okay for WATER decks but terrible elsewhere. An okay card for tributing Balloon Lizard for a strong Dino-Type Monster like Black Tyranno or Dark Driceratops. The ants don't multiply very quickly and stop and die out when your opponent's Monsters destroy them. Don't use this card. With so few decent EARTH Ritual Monsters out there, this no need for this card.

Use Scapegoat instead. Works well when your opponent only has one Monster out but that's really about it. It costs you 2000 Life Points to bring back all of your RFG Monsters but all your opponent needs is Mirror Force or Bottomless and most (if not all) of your monsters are gone. The problem is you need Dark Magician, which virtually no one uses, which is pretty sad considering this card's rarity.

He lets you grab your Ritual Spell or Ritual Monster faster but that's about it. It'll help in taking out Spirit Reaper and the like but still not very good to use. A great Monster with a great effect! It's hardly worth it to use this card when you have useless Spell and Trap Cards out.

With Umi, you'll be able to summon it without tributes and with its "friends" you can start destroying your opponent's cards but odds are you won't have all of them in your hand to make this card useful. Same as IOC-082's comments. He can attack twice, and with a small boost, put quite the hurt on your opponent's Life Points, especially since your opponent can't steal him with anything but his stats are pretty poor. 2800 ATK isn't too bad in Fairy decks because with Luminous Spark, she can take out Chaos Emperor Dragon and give your Life Points a major boost but needing 2 tributes for her stats leave her a 2/5.

Its stats aren't impressive for the tribute but since, she can be combined with DNA Surgery to force your opponent's weaker monsters to Attack Mode, she can then become quite the powerhouse. A 2-star rating for being able to attack directly with Umi on the field. Don't run this without Umi or vice-versa. This fish will soon be dead in the water and will quickly drown. It's not worth the deck space. With it's partner Umi, it becomes a Level 6 2800 ATK monster and only needs one tribute! Plus its effect clears the field for its own direct attack just by sending Umi to the Graveyard!
IOC-076 IOC-077 IOC-078 IOC-079

I'm not sure that an aircraft would land on this flower anyway with its weak DEF and lack of any sort of ATK. 2000 DEF grants this card a 2-star rating and a chance to be somewhat playable. In most cases, you're going to want to tribute this card to a) play a better monster and b) use its effect for yet another monster but both monsters are likely to be Bottomless Trap Holed by your opponent. At least you get 1000 Life Points for having it die on the field but that's all it has left.
IOC-072 IOC-073 IOC-074 IOC-075

1900 DEF stops attacks from even Gemini Elf and the MFC Luster Dragon but GAF and GO can knock it down with ease. 2400 ATK and the trample ability is very nice along with the one tribute! Very low stats and virtually complete contrary to Dark Driceratops: Not playable, low stats, no tribute and overall horrible to use. This dino will quickly become extinct when bigger and better dinos hit the field and his effect is the only reason for not giving him 1/5.
IOC-068 IOC-069 IOC-070 IOC-071
* ** ** *
With only 1700 DEF, he's not going to likely last one turn and is easy prey after the first flip up to face down. Same as IOC-064's comments. If it weren't for his semi-decent effect, there would be no reason to give this card 2/5 unless he had a better effect. This is a turtle that you'd find dead in the road or in this case, the Graveyard or more likely a trash can because he isn't wanted by anyone.

He only receives a 2/5 for when you Special Summon him you draw 1 card. Had this not been his effect, his rating would most likely be 1/5. Had the big Spell Cards Monster Reborn etc not been banned, I'd certainly rate this card higher but with only 2800 ATK and a limited number of Spells to retrieve, he receives a 3/5. It's no illusion when this guy is destroyed and you lose the duel for not having enough Monsters to withstand your opponent's attacks. Find a better Monster. I have given this monster 2/5 for he makes for decent tribute bait when you're out of Monsters or an extra attack.

This card is a must for almost any deck! With 1850 ATK, it's enough to destroy X-Head Cannon, La Jinn and Dark Blade! That 0 DEF won't help it in Defense Mode, though. Surely if you're not running this in a Bad Reaction to Simochi deck then the algae won't be the only thing burning. I suppose you could use this to bring out Flame Cerebrus as it currently stands as the strongest Pyro-Type Monster out thus far, although more may come later but we shall see.
