Codebreaker
(YS18-EN042) Pentestag |
||||
DARK | Cyberse / Link / Effect | Level | ATK: 1600 Link-2 |
Pendulum Scale: |
Links: | Top and Bottom | |||
2 Effect Monsters If your linked monster attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent. (Super Rare) |
||||
Rating: 1 out of 5 Any monster can deal piercing damage with Fairy Meteor Crush, or just use Ancient Gear Golem. |
||||
Codebreaker
(YS18-EN041) Transcode Talker |
||||
EARTH | Cyberse / Link / Effect | Level | ATK: 2300 Link-3 |
Pendulum Scale: |
Links: | Top, Right and Bottom | |||
2+ Effect Monsters While this card is co-linked, it and its co-linked monsters gain 500 ATK, also your opponent cannot target any of them with card effects. You can target 1 Link-3 or lower Cyberse Link Monster in your GY, except "Transcode Talker"; Special Summon it to your zone this card points to. You cannot Special Summon monsters the turn you activate this effect, except Cyberse monsters. You can only use this effect of "Transcode Talker" once per turn. (Ultra Rare) |
||||
Rating: 1 out of 5 Basically it's Decode Talker with an entirely different set of bad effects. |
||||
Codebreaker
(YS18-EN033) Cynet Regression |
||||
TRAP | Normal Trap | Level | ATK: DEF: |
Pendulum Scale: |
If you Special Summon a Link Monster(s): Target 1 card on the
field; destroy it, then draw 1 card. You can only activate 1
"Cynet Regression" per turn. (Common) |
||||
Rating: 1 out of 5 What's here isn't very good and there are even less good Link Monsters outside of that. |
||||
Codebreaker
(YS18-EN021) Cynet Recovery |
||||
SPELL | Continuous Spell | Level | ATK: DEF: |
Pendulum Scale: |
If a Link Monster(s) you control is destroyed by battle or an
opponent's card effect: You can target 1 monster in your GY,
except a Link Monster; Special Summon it in Defense Position.
You can only use this effect of "Cynet Recovery" once per turn. (Super Rare) |
||||
Rating: 1 out of 5 Why wait to lose a monster in battle when you can revive one with Call of the Haunted? |
||||
Codebreaker
(YS18-EN004) Cyberse White Hat |
||||
LIGHT | Cyberse / Effect | Level 6 | ATK: 1800 DEF: 2400 |
Pendulum Scale: |
If you control 2 or more monsters with the same Type, you can
Special Summon this card (from your hand). You can only Special
Summon "Cyberse White Hat" once per turn this way. If this card
is sent to the GY as Link Material: You can make all monsters
your opponent currently controls lose 1000 ATK until the end of
this turn. (Ultra Rare) |
||||
Rating: 1 out of 5 Pretty poor, even in Decks with only 1 Monster Card Type. |
||||
Codebreaker
(YS18-EN003) Widget Kid |
||||
EARTH | Cyberse / Effect | Level 3 | ATK: 1500 DEF: 900 |
Pendulum Scale: |
If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can Special
Summon 1 Cyberse monster from your hand in Defense Position. You
can only use this effect of "Widget Kid" once per turn. (Super Rare) |
||||
Rating: 2 out of 5 Giant Rat can trigger the effect, which can even be a 2nd copy, or even a high-Level monster. |
||||
Codebreaker
(YS18-EN002) Texchanger |
||||
DARK | Cyberse / Effect | Level 1 | ATK: 100 DEF: 100 |
Pendulum Scale: |
Once per turn, when your monster is targeted for an attack: You
can negate the attack, then Special Summon 1 Cyberse Normal
Monster from your hand, Deck, or GY. (Common) |
||||
Rating: 2 out of 5 Doesn't say it can't use the effect when itself gets attacked, but there's little to Special Summon. |
||||
Codebreaker
(YS18-EN001) Leotron |
||||
EARTH | Cyberse / Normal | Level 4 | ATK: 2000 DEF: 0 |
Pendulum Scale: |
A territorial electronic monster that guards its own domain. (Common) |
||||
Rating: 3 out of 5 Even beginners should have good cards in Starter Decks, and this is the 2nd Starter Deck in a row to have one. |
||||
Link Strike
(YS17-EN043) Link Spider |
||||
EARTH | Cyberse / Link / Effect | Level | ATK: 1000 Link-1 |
Pendulum Scale: |
Links: | Bottom | |||
1 Normal Monster Once per turn: You can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Normal Monster from your hand to your zone this card points to. (Super Rare) |
||||
Rating: 1 out of 5 Pretty desperate when it's limited to Level 4 or less Normal Monsters, which'll likely be stronger than this. |
||||
Link Strike
(YS17-EN042) Honeybot |
||||
LIGHT | Cyberse / Link / Effect | Level | ATK: 1900 Link-2 |
Pendulum Scale: |
Links: | Left and Right | |||
2 Cyberse monsters Neither player can target monsters this card points to with card effects, and those monsters cannot be destroyed by battle. (Super Rare) |
||||
Rating: 2 out of 5 Weak for 2 Link Materials, but it at least protects 1 designated monster from harm. |
||||
Link Strike
(YS17-EN041) Decode Talker |
||||
DARK | Cyberse / Link / Effect | Level | ATK: 2300 Link-3 |
Pendulum Scale: |
Links: | Top and both Bottom Corners | |||
2+ Effect Monsters Gains 500 ATK for each monster it points to. When your opponent activates a card or effect that targets a card(s) you control (Quick Effect): You can Tribute 1 monster this card points to; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card. (Ultra Rare) |
||||
Rating: 2 out of 5 Up to 3800 ATK, but it costs you 1 of those monsters to negate an effect. |
||||
Link Strike
(YS17-EN021) Cynet Universe |
||||
SPELL | Field Spell | Level | ATK: DEF: |
Pendulum Scale: |
All Link Monsters you control gain 300 ATK. Once per turn: You
can target 1 monster in the GY; shuffle it into the Deck. If
this card on the field is destroyed by a card effect: Send all
monsters in the Extra Monster Zones to the GY. (Common) |
||||
Rating: 1 out of 5 This is pretty much it for Links thus far, and the boost won't even matter. The last effect has little impact either. |
||||
Link Strike
(YS17-EN004) Linkslayer |
||||
EARTH | Cyberse / Effect | Level 5 | ATK: 2000 DEF: 600 |
Pendulum Scale: |
If you control no monsters, you can Special Summon this card
(from your hand). Once per turn: You can discard up to 2 cards,
then target that many Spells/Traps on the field; destroy them. (Ultra Rare) |
||||
Rating: 2 out of 5 Special Summoning it is relatively easy, but the effect is pretty costly. |
||||
Link Strike
(YS17-EN003) RAM Clouder |
||||
LIGHT | Cyberse / Effect | Level 4 | ATK: 1800 DEF: 1000 |
Pendulum Scale: |
You can Tribute 1 monster, then target 1 Cyberse monster in your
GY; Special Summon it. You can only use this effect of "RAM
Clouder" once per turn. (Super Rare) |
||||
Rating: 3 out of 5 The term "Graveyard" has become much more vague for beginners, but this has decent ATK for its low Level. |
||||
Link Strike
(YS17-EN002) Draconnet |
||||
DARK | Cyberse / Effect | Level 3 | ATK: 1400 DEF: 1200 |
Pendulum Scale: |
When this card is Normal Summoned: You can Special Summon 1
Level 2 or lower Normal Monster from your hand or Deck in
Defense Position. (Common) |
||||
Rating: 1 out of 5 Bitron is okay, but really not worth using this for. |
||||
Link Strike
(YS17-EN001) Bitron |
||||
EARTH | Cyberse / Normal | Level 2 | ATK: 200 DEF: 2000 |
Pendulum Scale: |
A new species found in electronic space. There's not much
information on it. (Common) |
||||
Rating: 2 out of 5 There's not much to go on either as it's just the DEF that is useful. |
