Its usefulness is directly tied to its Ritual Monster so it gets the same rating as the Ritual Monster it brings out. If it included Level 8 Ritual Monsters like Demise, then it'd be better but there aren't many decent Level 7 or lower Ritual Monsters to choose from. A fairly decent partial Reload for your WATER monsters! It comes in handy to protect the weaker Plant Tuner monsters or perhaps the strongest monsters you currently control that can't take out your opponent's monsters but not much else.

Same as SOVR-EN051's comments. Koa'ki Meiru monsters need this to stay alive but even this cannot prevent their destruction during the End Phase. This will really help Geminis hit the field and get their effects in the same turn! Tribute your weaker Gemini monster, take out your opponent's attacking monster and draw 1 card!

I strongly recommend this for Reptile and only Reptile decks. Minor uses with this to bring out Vennominon or Bitelon but that's about it. Protect Vennominon or Bitelon from battle if they're weak but not much else going for this card. Don't run this outside Fortune Lady decks.

Combos well with Magical Citadel but that's about it. If you're wanting to destroy your opponents' monsters in battle and those monsters have less DEF than ATK or use RDA's effect to destroy them all, this card isn't too bad but it's not great. Obviously it needs an EI on your field but its effect can pay off. This card does have minor uses with cards that negate attacks or stop the Battle Phase but the 300 LP gain is nothing these days.

The star of the set runs away at the End Phase that it hits the field, not to mention its complicated summoning requirement. If one of those weren't in its text, I'd raise his rating and playability status. Compared to Armor Master, this Blackwing is pretty bad but it can temporarily protect your Blackwing monsters and destroy 2 of your opponent's monsters when Synchro Summoned. The only combo I could see this working with is Reptilianne Medusa, which is why this card's rating is not 1. While it works well only with Geminis, there are some good ones to pick from such as Evocator Chevalier.

Useful for that Swap Frog nuisance deck or retrieving Vennominon/Vennominaga but that's about it. Has 2000 DEF and makes Ritual Summoning easier but that's about it. Good stats and makes Ritual Summoning easier! She can last longer than most Ritual Monsters with her stats but Demise can take her down with his effect.
SOVR-EN032 SOVR-EN033 SOVR-EN034 SOVR-EN035

At least you can Special Summon it by having 3 Normal Monsters in your Grave and removing from play 2 of them but then that kind of hurts his ability to Special Summon Level 4 or less Normal Monsters. Well he is brave for protecting his fellow Geminis when he has no protection but don't run this anywhere else. Normally this card would've gotten 1/5 but I've seen in Tag Force 4 what a nuisance this card can be in terms of making for a long turn for your opponent to wait through. This card reminds me of another card that's just as bad but what was it? Victory Viper XX03 back in EOJ. Neither card should be used.

I cannot give these guys any credit until they have something decent to work with which I have yet to see and I won't count Koa'Ki Meiru Tornado as being decent just because it has one good combo. Tuner or not, he still has the decent stats for a Level 4 monster! Despite its pretty lame temporary ATK boost if treated as an Effect Monster, you can just ignore that and leave it as a 1900 beatstick, which is great but not worth being an Ultra Rare. Gemini decks might want this card but I can guarantee that no other deck would.

It's no wonder these guys are Ultra Rare! With their high ATK and the ability to attack directly, there's little your opponent can do to stop them! Same as SOVR-EN024's comments. His low rating is easily explained by his low stats and an effect that only works when Normal Summoned that can give him up to 3100 total ATK but can be screwed over with Skill Drain. As usual, these guys are still failing despite all the support they have.

Her effect isn't worth pulling off since she is likely to die in battle before her effect is activated. Her effect can be used more than once per turn and she drains the ATK of the selected monster(s) to nothing! Not bad for a Common. Average stats for a Level 4 monster and getting its effect off isn't too hard with Medusa to help you. A Tuner with weak stats and no effect that hurts it being a Tuner gives it no more than 2 stars.

This guy will soon earn the name "Squashed Spider" since its stats are much too low to survive, even if his effect does resolve successfully. While getting his effect off would be nice, it isn't very likely and with Red Dragon Archfiend whose stats are much higher and it very nearly has the same effect, it is the better card to use. This guy will likely run into prey bigger than it and will therefore become the prey and to get its effect off is pretty difficult given its stats. Probably the best Spider monster we have thus far but not by much.

While her ATK and DEF will be pretty decent at 2400 just for hitting the field, Skill Drain will leave her with nothing. She's worse than the real game of Solitaire! She doesn't have any 3's so she'll take them from Fortune Lady monsters and just take out any monster of her "master's" choosing but her stats are lousy. If the "witch of fate" puts this card in Defense Mode, the card's fate will be sealed for going to the Grave. She does have limited uses with The Calculator and 2 of the 3 "The Wicked" monsters though. Must've been a spider the Dark Signers left behind for not being able to possess anyone and I don't blame them for it can't protect itself at all.

Well he has 2000 DEF and almost no playability so that gives him 2/5. If she isn't ran in the proper deck, it'd be time to change her name to "Misfortune Lady". Same as SOVR-EN009's comments. At least this Fortune Lady will have somewhat decent stats to help her survive longer but not much longer.

At most, he's searchable by Flying Kamakiri #1 and somewhat helps bring out Synchros needing a specific Tuner but I think in most cases he'll become Quickdiscard Synchron. Quickdraw's little partner in Synchro Summoning as he helps Quickdraw bring out Junk Warrior but that's about it. This guy is not only searchable by just about anything but by Tributing him, he protects you and your monsters from battle, which is why his rating his higher than 1. Funny thing is, he's just one star in the sky, literally(he's part of the Leo constellation) and one star is all he gets from me for no protection, weak stats and a pretty bad effect.

If you had 4 more of these, we could call them "The Beetles" but even that band I don't find all that good and neither is this card. What's so majestic about this guy? No ATK, DEF and with the worst effect for a Super Rare, he's not even worth bringing out the Star Dragon. Xiolong is this string of bad cards going to last?  His effect to give him 400 ATK when attacking a monster doesn't seem like enough of a reason for his rarity to me but that can be enough to take out most Level 4 monsters.
