Primal Origin (Page 5)

PRIO-EN099
Hundred-Footed Horror
DARK / Insect / Level 7 / ATK 2600 / DEF 1300
If your opponent controls a monster and you control no monsters, you can Normal Summon this card without Tributing, but its original ATK becomes 1300.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Look out, it's the giant unplayable centipede, run away in mass hysterics!!!!
PRIO-EN098
Galaxy Dragon
LIGHT / Dragon / Level 4 / ATK 2000 / DEF 1200
This card can only attack Dragon-Type monsters. If this card battles a Dragon-Type monster, this card gains 1000 ATK during the Damage Step only, also negate that monster's effects during each Battle Phase, as long as this card remains face-up on the field.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: Its side-effect doesn't mean a whole lot when it still has 2000 ATK, can be used with Honest or attack directly. Of course, you can also follow this card's rules and attack the Dragon-Type monster to power itself up to 3000 ATK and stop that monster's effects.
PRIO-EN097
Number 48: Shadow Lich
DARK / Zombie-Type Xyz / Rank 3 / ATK 1800 / DEF 0
2 Level 3 monsters
Once per turn, during your opponent's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; Special Summon 1 "Phantom Token" (DARK/Fiend-Type/Level 1/ATK 500
/DEF 500). (This is a Quick Effect.) While you control a "Phantom Token", your opponent cannot target this card for attacks. This card gains 500 ATK for each "Phantom Token" you control.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It can have up to 2800 ATK in most cases but those tokens are feeble without protection and that will probably be your opponent's attack target anyway.
PRIO-EN096
ZW - Sleipnir Mail
LIGHT / Beast / Level 4 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1000
You can target 1 "Utopia" monster you control; equip this monster from your hand or your side of the field to that target. It gains 1000 ATK. When this card you control is sent to your Graveyard because the equipped monster was destroyed by your opponent's card (either by battle or card effect): You can target 1 "Utopia" monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target. You can only control 1 "ZW - Sleipnir Mail".
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: Any Utopia monster can get this but I only consider Utopia roots good enough for this and without it, it's just another weak monster.
PRIO-EN095
Gimmick Puppet Des Troy
DARK / Machine / Level 4 / ATK 1200 / DEF 2000
You can target 1 "Gimmick Puppet" monster on the field; destroy it. This effect can only be used once while this card is face-up on the field. When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 or 2 "Gimmick Puppet" monsters from your hand.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: It comes with 2000 DEF and is included in its effect, letting you bring out 2 other Gimmick Puppets from your hand but I still have yet to see the Deck in action.
PRIO-EN094
Shogi Knight
EARTH / Beast-Warrior / Level 3 / ATK 800 / DEF 400
When this card is Normal Summoned: You can target 1 Set card in your opponent's Spell & Trap Card Zone; reveal that target, then destroy it if it is a Trap Card. Otherwise, return it to its original position. When you destroy a Trap Card by this effect: You can Special Summon 1 Level 3 EARTH monster from your hand in face-up Defense Position.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: Essentially a somewhat watered down Trap Master as it has to be Normal Summoned to be able to even use the effect and if successful, you get a Level 3 EARTH monster out of the deal but that isn't much to speak of either.
PRIO-EN093
Rose Archer
EARTH / Warrior / Level 3 / ATK 1000 / DEF 100
During either player's turn, when your opponent activates a Trap Card while you control a Plant-Type monster: You can send this card from your hand to the Graveyard; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: You won't really want to Summon it anyway with its low stats and it can save your Plant-Type monster(s) from harm but if the effect isn't a Trap Card and/or you don't have a Plant-Type monster out, this becomes a dead draw.
PRIO-EN092
Number 42: Galaxy Tomahawk
WIND / Machine-Type Xyz / Rank 7 / ATK 0 / DEF 3000
2 Level 7 monsters
You can detach 2 Xyz Materials from this card; Special Summon as many "Battle Eagle Tokens" (Machine-Type/WIND/Level 6/ATK 2000/DEF 0) as possible, but destroy them during the End Phase of this turn, also your opponent takes no further battle damage this turn.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: A rarity that is much lower than I had anticipated and that's a good thing considering this guy uses up what will likely be all of its Xyz Materials just for up to 4 tokens that do not stick around very long and preventing your opponent from taking any further battle damage that turn.
PRIO-EN091
Phantom King Hydride
DARK / Fiend-Type Tuner / Level 3 / ATK 1500 / DEF 300
If you use this card you control for a Synchro Summon, you can treat it as a non-Tuner monster.
COMMON
Rating: 3
Comments: Gotta give him an extra star for being not only searchable but is able to become a non-Tuner as needed!
PRIO-EN090
Bolt Penguin
WATER / Thunder / Level 3 / ATK 1100 / DEF 800
With each arm forming an electric whip, this monster paralyzes its enemies with electric shocks.
COMMON
Rating: 1
Comments: He won't survive in the sea of better monsters.
PRIO-EN089
Escalation of the Monarchs
Continuous Trap
Once per turn, during your opponent's Main Phase or your opponent's Battle Phase, you can: Immediately after this effect resolves, Tribute Summon 1 monster.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: Being able to perform Tribute Summons during either player's turn can be quite useful, especially with the Monarchs as they'll trigger their effects!
PRIO-EN088
Avalon
Normal Trap
Target 5 "Noble Knight" monsters in your Graveyard, including at least 1 "Artorigus" monster and 1 "Laundsallyn" monster; banish those targets, and if you do, destroy all cards on the field.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: It makes Final Destiny, a Spell Card with MUCH less activation needs and does the same thing afterwards, look good!
PRIO-EN087
Noble Knights of the Round Table
Field Spell
During your End Phase: You can activate each of these effects up to once per turn, depending on the total number of "Noble Knight" cards with different names in your Graveyard and/or you control.
● 3 or more: Send 1 "Noble Knight" card from your Deck to the Graveyard.
● 6 or more: Special Summon 1 "Noble Knight" monster from your hand, then you can equip 1 "Noble Arms" Equip Spell Card from your hand to that monster.
● 9 or more: Target 1 "Noble Knight" monster in your Graveyard; add that target to your hand.
● 12: Draw 1 card.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It asks for at least 3 Noble Knights in your Grave or on your field but the more you have, the more this card can offer, even if you have to wait until your End Phase.
PRIO-EN086
Gladiator Beast Nerokius
DARK / Winged Beast-Type Fusion / Level 8 / ATK 2800 / DEF 1900
3 "Gladiator Beast" monsters
Must first be Special Summoned (from your Extra Deck) by shuffling the above cards you control into the Deck. (You do not use "Polymerization".) Cannot be destroyed by battle. If this card attacks or is attacked, your opponent cannot activate cards or effects until the end of the Damage Step. At the end of the Battle Phase, if this card attacked or was attacked: You can shuffle it into the Extra Deck; Special Summon 2 "Gladiator Beast" monsters from your Deck.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: It may be a Gladiator Beast but it's much more generic as I can use the same 3 Gladiator Beast like Laquari and what you get out of it is a monster that is safe from battle anytime and safe from effects when it battles. Not only that but it doesn't care what Gladiator Beasts you Special Summon when it gets returned to the Extra Deck its way!
PRIO-EN085
Vampire Vamp
DARK / Zombie / Level 7 / ATK 2000 / DEF 2000
Once per turn, when this card or a "Vampire" monster is Normal Summoned to your side of the field: You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls, whose ATK is higher than this card's; equip it to this card. This card gains ATK equal to the combined original ATK of the monsters equipped to it by this effect. When this card is sent to the Graveyard, while equipped with a card by this effect: Special Summon this card from the Graveyard.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: With Call of the Mummy still legal and the pending arrival of Pendulum Monsters, this card is sure to get some use and you'll want to take high ATK monsters anyway
PRIO-EN084
Bujingi Sinyou
LIGHT / Beast / Level 4 / ATK 1500 / DEF 1000
During either player's Damage Step, if a Beast-Warrior-Type "Bujin" monster you control battles an opponent's monster: You can banish this card from your Graveyard; that monster you control gains ATK equal to the current ATK of the opponent's monster it is battling until the end of the Damage Step, and if it does, all battle damage your opponent takes from that battle is halved. You can only use the effect of "Bujingi Sinyou" once per turn.
ULTRA RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: A Buijn-specific version of Honest and even then, it has to be a Beast-Warrior Bujin monster and this guy has to be banished from the Grave but after all that, your opponent only takes half the Battle Damage.
PRIO-EN083
Sylvan Princessprout
LIGHT / Plant / Level 1 / ATK 100 / DEF 100
You can only activate each effect of "Sylvan Princessprout" once per turn.
● You can Tribute this card; excavate the top card of your Deck, send it to the Graveyard, then you can place 1 "sprout" monster in your Graveyard on top of your Deck.
● If this card is excavated from the Deck and sent to the Graveyard by a card effect: You can declare a Level from 1 to 8; Special Summon this card from the Graveyard, and if you do, it becomes that Level.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It's really the 2nd bulleted effect that gives the card its rating because the other one leaves you at risk for getting nothing but either way, you can only use the effects once per turn.
PRIO-EN082
Noble Knight Eachtar
DARK / Warrior / Level 5 / ATK 1600 / DEF 2000
You can banish 2 "Noble Knight" monsters from your Graveyard; Special Summon this card from your hand or Graveyard. You can only use this effect of "Noble Knight Eachtar" once per turn. A Synchro or Xyz Summon of a "Noble Knight" monster using this card as a Material cannot be negated, also your opponent cannot activate cards or effects when that monster is Special Summoned.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It has to give up 2 of its fallen allies to be brought out its way and not only has 2000 DEF but offers summoning protection for the Noble Knight Synchro or Xyz it's used for but after that, the monster needs self-protection or it won't likely survive.
PRIO-EN081
Noble Knight Brothers
LIGHT / Warrior / Level 4 / ATK 1200 / DEF 2400
This card can only attack while you control exactly 3 "Noble Knight" monsters (and no other monsters). When this card is Normal Summoned: You can Special Summon up to 2 "Noble Knight" monsters from your hand, but cannot Special Summon monsters for the rest of this turn, except "Noble Knight" monsters. Once per turn: You can target 3 "Noble Knight" and/or "Noble Arms" cards in your Graveyard; shuffle all 3 into the Deck, then draw 1 card.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: On its own, it has 2400 DEF and you probably won't want to attack with it at all unless equipped with a Noble Arms card and you do get to Special Summon 2 of his friends or shuffle them or 3 Noble Arms cards into the Deck to draw 1 card but stops you from Special Summoning non-Noble Knight cards that turn.
PRIO-EN080
Tri-and-Guess
Normal Trap
If each player has an Extra Deck: Declare 1 Extra Deck monster card type (Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz); both players reveal their Extra Deck, and the player who has more monsters of the declared card type gains 3000 Life Points.
COMMON
Rating: 2
Comments: A bit of a risk to play but with the likelihood of seeing Fusions and Synchros dwindling, you may have a shot if your Extra Deck has them.
