Not much going for this guy. 2500 ATK for 2 Tributes simply isn't worth using unless it's for Jaden's Neospace Deck.	1900 ATK is great especially with so few Dinos out in today's metagame!	Don't use this card except in Jaden's Neospace deck.	Certainly one of the better Neospacians as his ATK can become 2500 but that's about it.

This card has major potential! You can select your opponent's EH Bladedge and use it to create EH Wildedge! Low stats won't get this card too much further though.	Use only in Jaden's Neospace Deck.	Not much of a star with stats of (800/800) so this is another card that only deserves to be played in Jaden's Neospace deck.	This submarine will most likely sink to the bottom of the sea at the hands of stronger Monsters so use this only in Syrus' Second Season deck.

Even though it does okay with Ambulance Rescuroid, it's still not part of the playable category so use this only in Syrus' Second Roid deck.	Another Roid Monster that is so unplayable that it only serves a purpose in Syrus' Second Roid deck.	This rescue won't be saving you in your duels with stats of (1600/1800) and the one tribute only hurts it more.	Other than the fact that he gets extra tributes, he's just a horrid Super Rare Monster that only has a home in Aster's deck.

He'll certainly live up to his name with 2700 DEF! Great for stall, Destiny Hero or Aster Phoenix decks!	At 3400 ATK, he's the strongest DH out so far! Plus, your opponent's LPs are halved during his/her's next Standby Phase! The summoning conditions are why this card gets 4/5.	Blade Master? This card isn't a master of anything except being destroyed by better Monsters so this is another card that should belong to the "cards only for Aster's deck" category.	He won't be making many deals with opposing Monsters with those weak stats so this is an "Aster deck only" card. (Note: "Monger" means dealer.)

He better be good at running away as even Giant Orc can take him down. Another card to only use in Aster's deck.	This dino will get stomped by even the weakest Monsters like Beaver Warrior so don't bother with this even in a Dinosaur deck.	At 1200 ATK, you'll want to change him to Defense Position and 2000 DEF makes him good in Tyranno Hassleberry, Dinosaur or Stall decks!	First of all, it has to attack all Monsters if in Attack Position, which may/may not be too good. 3000 ATK is nice for a Dinosaur, though Ancient Gear Golem is better.

2000 DEF makes him great for Stall decks and helps you get another tribute!	This little guy will have trouble even in a Dinosaur or EARTH deck so don't bother with it. Use Sabersaurus instead.	Monsters this strong with 2400 ATK are nice for just about any deck! While not as strong as Gear Golem, he's still decent for play.	This new breed of Monster is just not worth playing except for a fun "alien/UFO deck".

Giving your opponent Monster advantage is almost never the way to go and this card shouldn't be used except for the "fun UFO deck"	Another card only usable for the "fun UFO deck" so put it there.	So far, at 1800 ATK, this is the best Alien Monster so far! Decent for just about any deck no doubt!	Use this card well and you can pull of that One Turn Kill! The downside is, if this card is removed, the Special Summoned Monsters are destroyed.

Chances are, you'll want to play this card with as few tributes as possible and tribute summoning this with an opponent's Monster is the best way! Still, it doesn't stand against BEWD.	Don't bother with this unless you're building a "fun UFO deck".	This is a "Jaden's Neo-Space deck only" card and if you do so, do it if and only if you have Neo Space in the deck.	While its stats and the first part of its effect are the same, the second part of its effect really helps it out as 400 ATK per S/T out give it a potential 6900 ATK!

This card's no better than Elemental Hero Aqua Neos so only use this in Jaden's Neo-Space deck.	Zane Truesdale's new Monster from Season 2 of Yu-Gi-Oh Gx and a devastating one at that! If you play this, try not to have much on your field and this works well with Future Fusion!	He can certainly provide an extra defense if your LPs are low and you don't have much defending you! Still, it can only be used once per turn and your opponent will eventually destroy/remove it.	I must admit this card's better than Ultimate Tyranno but only slightly less playable than Gear Golem. He's also Syrus' strongest Vehicroid out thus far!
POTD-EN037	POTD-EN038	POTD-EN039	POTD-EN040

This is just a bad card that only has a use in Jaden's Neo-Space deck.	Another horrid card. Do me a favor and only use this in Jaden's Neo-Space deck.	There's no point in using this as first of all, you set the Spell, which must be a Quick-Play Spell, and second, your opponent will know what it is. Truly not worth the deck space.	The advanced Polymerization for Vehicroids! Yet this only works well with Jumbo Drill as he's the only Fusion Monster with "Vehicroid" in its name.

This card's only good for bringing out Destiny Hero Defender so use this in Aster Phoenix's deck only.	While not the worst card, it's not the best either. Just stick to Power Bond instead.	Not much going for this card. Get rid of Mirror Force or Magic Cylinder or any other cards activated in battle but that's about it.	Not too bad a card! If you can protect yourself for 3 turns with a card like SORL, you get to surprise your opponent with a powerful Fusion Monster like Chimeratech or Cyber End!
POTD-EN045	POTD-EN046	POTD-EN047	POTD-EN048
**	**	***	***

Just make sure that if you play this, you're not giving your opponent any advantage.	The backbone to any Neo-Space deck and the key to keeping Aqua Neos, Flare Neos and Dark Neos out. Still besides that, don't use this.	If your field is Monster-free, paying the LPs may be worth it, especially if it's for Gear Golem or a God Card!	Destiny Heroes really need the boost and this card will definitely help out with that!

This is a very situational card. Don't expect to get much out of it as most of the time, you won't get more than 1. This is for Aster Phoenix decks only.	Stick with Blast with Chain or better yet Axe of Despair and put this in Aster's Destiny Hero deck and leave it there.	The list of horrid cards rages on and this one's no exception. Want to use this? Do so in a "fun Alien/UFO deck" only.	I have a suggestion. Instead of using this horrid card, use 2 Dian Ketos instead.

Yawn Put this in your "fun alien deck" only.	Don't bother with this. Odds are, you'll pick a card that is either activatable or summonable.	Hmm, I wonder what the playability of this card is. Let me think for a second. Oh that's right, it's near 0 so only use this in a Second Season Syrus deck.	This is obviously a Syrus Second Season deck card so only use it there.

300 damage isn't much to inflict. So why would I give it a 2? If used correctly, it can keep the duel going endlessly or end the duel in one turn!	The Call of the Haunted for Dinosaur Monsters. Revive that Dark Driceratops or Ultimate Tyranno! Not too bad a card for Dinosaur decks as they need the support!	The question is, should you use this? The answer is no so find a better card.	As I've said before, only use this in a "fun Alien deck".
