All it is is for cards that require tokens and therefore cannot be in the deck.   Same as TKN3-EN001's comments. Same as TKN3-EN001's comments. Same as TKN3-EN001's comments.

With this bad boy off the Banned List, it's playability is immense with DMoC, Disk Commander and many others!  Blow up any 2 cards on the field whether Normal or Special Summoned! What hurts it is it can't attack if the effect is used and the controller of the destroyed card(s) draws 1 card per destroyed card. While paying 1000 LPs to replace your destroyed monster for a Level 4 one isn't so bad, you risk your new monster being removed via BTH or Torrential and this card is stopped by a face up Jinzo or Royal Decree. His stats are below average for two tributes (3000 ATK is what I consider "average") but since most cards these days will target and destroy other monsters, this card is sure to get some play!

2500 DEF and being able to attack with a monster your opponent controls is quite decent! The downside is, he must attack and with no ATK, he's easy prey for even the weakest monsters. He doesn't really have anything going for him. His stats won't allow his effect to activate very often and he only destroys 1 Spell or Trap Card when Heavy Storm does the job much better. With the unbanning of Monster Reborn, this card has no use anymore since with MR, you can bring back any monster in any mode you wish. Hunt out those decent Arcana Force monsters like the Empress and The Emperor or bring out another decent LIGHT monster like Honest and summon Guardian of Order later!

It gains 1000 ATK for every Normal Monster in your Graveyard, making it ideal in a Normal Monster deck with cards like Foolish Burial and Advanced Ritual Art but no DEF and needing 2 Tributes hurts it. He can be useful for bringing out an Evil Hero or Elemental Hero Fusion Monster but with those low stats, he'll probably only get to use his effect once. He only gets a 2/5 for his absolutely horrendous effect! He still boasts high stats and is summonable without tributes, though. The reason why they call him card excluder is because he is excluded from being used due to her horrible effect and very low stats. Don't use her outside Jaden's Season 3 deck.

Like Dark Cure, this card needs some assistance or it's no good at all (except for selling on eBay) Remove any final defense your opponent has and take out any other copies he or she has all with one card! The fact is it affects both players and that's why this card gets 3/5. The only use for this card is to counteract Cyber Dragon. Its 2 tributes aren't worth it either. It does double the ATK of all Machine-Type monsters you control but those same monsters are destroyed afterwards so an okay card to bring out the win but that's about it.

With its effect, it can be quite the powerhouse but the fact is, he cannot deal Battle Damage, which is why his rating is 3/5. What hurts this card is the fact that his stats are low, you have to shuffle to cards in your hand to your deck to draw twice and he has to be summoned to get his effect. Her stats are low so she'll need protection but use a few Gift Cards and that's 6000-9000 damage to your opponent! This is a pretty bad card without Bad Reaction or Nurse Reficule so unless you're using either of those cards, don't run this.

A deadly card! Make even BEUD at 4500 become no match for this card! What hurts it is the 3 tributes and halving your own monsters. With such low stats, pulling its effect off isn't too difficult and can come in quite handy, especially in Exodia decks! Even the strongest monsters won't be much of a threat with this card! This card gets an extra star because it removes the monster from play, making it harder to bring the monster back.

High ATK with a high summoning requirement. That DEF doesn't help him at all, especially now with Evil Hero Inferno Wing to puncture right through to your LPs. He's sure to put the hurt on your opponent's LPs with his trample ability and 2600 ATK! Plus, even if his ATK isn't enough, destroy a more powerful monster with his effect!  For 2200 ATK, it seems low for one tribute but he can remove up to 5 Spell Cards in your opponent's Graveyard from play! One of Joey's signature cards and one of his better cards as well. The fact that you can't tribute the tokens for a Tribute Summon or summon any monsters leaves this card with 3/5.

2 tributes for a monster whose stats are that of Summoned Skull, who only needs 1 tribute isn't worth using and what's worse is you have to discard a card or he returns to the deck. This card's rating is only 3/5 is because its effect can leave itself weak enough to be destroyed and should that occur, you lose all other cards you have out and only bring back a monster in return. He may boast 1800 ATK but without his other samurai partners, he's basically a normal monster. Still even if a NM, his ATK is decent, though. He may be somewhat hard to summon but now that he's in a tin, he's easy to get, making him that much easier to be placed into your deck and dish out some major damage!

It does deal 1000 damage to your opponent but to activate it you have to tribute a monster so unless this is for Martin's deck, don't run this. Pretty powerful! 3300 ATK makes him stronger than Blue-Eyes or Buster Blader and if he's not enough, tribute him for something stronger and steal your opponent's monster with his Spell Card!  This card is totally useless without Des Gardius so unless you're running him, don't run this card.   The only thing this card has is the ability to draw 1 card for no one runs Bokoichi the Freightening Car since that card is terrible and is hardly worth being out just so this card's effect can become Pot of Greed.
