Don't bother with this card. A watered down version of Call of the Haunted is just terrible. Stick to Call of the Haunted. 300 ATK won't make much of a difference against Monsters like Cyber Dragon and Chimeratech Overdragon so keep this in a Six Samurai deck only. Odds are NOT in your favor that your opponent will summon the Monster you declare. In fact, he or she will try not to summon that Monster. Don't waste your deck space with this card.

Use Tribute to the Doomed instead as you can discard any card. Use Negate Attack instead. You can get back 2 Exodia pieces but even Pot of Avarice is better so use that instead. While it can destroy a powerful Fusion Monster, Jinzo can negate it so stick to Tribute to the Doomed.

What's not to like? It's the only Field Spell out thus far that only YOU can use! You get to Special Summon an Elemental Hero Monster destroyed in battle on your next turn and can use it to tribute for another Monster! A nasty way to make your opponent pay for destroying your Monster! Still, 300 damage per Star Level isn't the biggest amount of damage to deal. An interesting card. When destroyed while face down, it gets shuffled into your deck and you draw a card. Not the greatest card to use so you're better off keeping it in Jaden Season 2 decks. This card is incredibly bad even in Six Samurai decks.

Like Synthesis Spell, this card is a necessity to bring out Cu Chulainn the Awakened and that's why its rating is 2/5. Use this ONLY if you run a Normal Monster deck. Same as STON-EN042. Another card for Six Samurai decks only.
STON-EN040 STON-EN041 STON-EN042* STON-EN043

Use Fusion Sword Murasame Blade instead as it can be equipped to any Warrior-Type Monster and it gives the equipped Monster 4 times the ATK boost. This card is so bad that it makes all the chain cards in CDIP look good. Don't bother with this even in Alien decks. BAD!!!! Obviously you can't bring out Lycanthrope without this card so this card's rating is the same as that card's.

With some luck, he can deal significant damage to your opponent but the odds of that are 1 in 3. Still, he's better than Dark Neos though not that great overall. Easily bring out Blue-Eyes, Summoned Skull or Dark Magician and still Normal Summon! How this card made it to Super Rare status is beyond me. Don't EVER use this card as it's just not worth it. Not only does it boost Neos to 3300 ATK, your opponent takes the ATK of the Monster Neos destroys out of their LPs! Not bad overall.

Keep this in a deck that uses many Normal Monsters only because you won't get his effect otherwise. Same as STON-EN032. Getting ATK equal to the difference in you and your opponent's LPs can make this guy very strong! While it has a Compulsory Evacuation Device effect, Guardian Sphinx returns all opponent's Monsters to his or her's hand. Keep this in Jaden's season 2 deck only.

Same as STON-EN027. Same as STON-EN028. Same as STON-EN029. Unless you're running an Alien deck, don't use this.

This is a crow that a scarecrow would have no need to run away for his weak stats and terrible effect make him nowhere near threatening. 2 Tributes for a Monster whose stats are (2000/1500)? That's just bad however, his effect is the only reason why his rating is 2/5. Obviously, if you're going to use this card, do so in a deck that uses its attribute. Same as STON-EN025. Same as STON-EN026.

While it doesn't have strong stats, that doesn't matter because the Fusion Monster that attacks it has its ATK become 0 and is therefore destroyed! Steal Five Headed Dragon or Dragon Master Knight and really let your opponent take damage or tribute it to annoy him or her for Great Maju Garzet with 10,000 ATK!!! Still, odds of effect activation are low. Like Electric Virus, this card's effect won't likely activate too often and isn't worth defending your LPs. Same as STON-EN022's comments.

See my comments on STON-EN015 for this card's comments. A Monster with a Harpie's Feather Duster or Raigeki effect is decent but that effect only happens if discarded by an opponent's card effect. Still, succeed and it can leave your opponent defenseless! Even though there are cards out there that would make this useful like Card Destruction and Tribute to the Doomed, this card is pretty bad all things considered. The complete reverse of Kahkki of Dark World and not a good one at that for even MST is better.

At 1700 ATK, it's the strongest Monster with the ability to destroy the attacked Monster without applying damage! Still, this card's only worthy in a fun Six Samurai deck. A very strong Monster yet his effect isn't all that great outside Six Samurai decks. Unless you're running a fun Six Samurai deck, don't use this. The key word is IF. With only 1400 ATK, he'll be the one being destroyed. Don't run this card.

Keep this card in a fun Six Samurai deck only as its mediocre stats and bad effect make it useless elsewhere. The only reason this card gets 2/5 is because it can attack your opponent directly under the right situation and can use another Six Samurai Monster to be destroyed instead. Overall not a decent card. In a Six Samurai deck, this card becomes the strongest Effect Monster to attack twice in the same Battle Phase but even Mataza is better than this card for it can attack twice under almost any situation. This card would normally get a 4 out of 5 but thanks to its horrid effect, it drops by 1 star.

Gaining 500 points per card in your opponent's hand during each of your turns can be a lifesaver! The thing is, he generally won't last long on the field with his low stats of (800/600). His low stats are weak but his effect is okay to say the least for he returns himself and the attacked Monster to the owner's hands when he attacks. Still not that great especially if you don't have any other Monsters out. There's major gamble on this card especially if your opponent uses Skill Drain to negate his effect. If used correctly though he can help you out but don't count on it. 1300 ATK and being able to destroy a face down Spell or Trap Card is bad and not being able to attack with him that turn is even worse. Don't use this except in a fun Six Samurai deck.

Six Samurai decks will likely be the only ones using this as his ATK is match for most other high-level monsters or Level 4 Giant Orc! Cyber Dragon is still the better card so use that elsewhere. An AMAZING card! 2000 ATK for level 4 takes out Gemini Elf and even Mechanicalchaser! 100 DEF and no decent effect are what keep this card's rating down. 2600 ATK and 1700 DEF for one tribute puts him as the strongest one tribute Monster in the game! The fact is, like Gene-Warped Warwolf, he doesn't have a decent effect to protect him so his rating is 4/5. Use Blue-Eyes White Dragon instead.
