Magic or Spell? (YGO)

September 16, 2002 we card game lovers were introduced to another sub par pack of cards. This pack was initially entitled "Magic Ruler" but then was changed to "Spell Ruler" the same time "Magic Cards" were changed to "Spell Cards" supposedly to help differentiate the game from Magic the Gathering. The pack introduced the populace to Ritual Monsters while leaving out one of the most iconic Ritual Monsters, Magician of Black Chaos. Go figure.

Overall the pack was full of mediocre cards at best. It did introduce us to Toon Monsters which would not be in major use until some better low level Toons (Toon Gemini Elf and Toon Goblin Attack Force) were released.


Awesome:

• Relinquished
• Easy to summon Ritual Monster with a decent effect as well.
• Snatch Steal
• Yes, your opponent gains 1000 LP each Standby Phase but after banning Change of Heart, we needed another "brain wash" card.
• Mystical Space Typhoon
• Goodbye that one M/T card that is stopping you from winning!

Meh:

• Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon
• Good Stats, Special Summon, and can attack directly if your opponent doesn't have Toons.
• Requires Toon World, 2 Tributes, can't attack the turn it's summoned and 500 LP to attack.
• Crab Turtle
• Pretty good stats for level 8.
• Requires Ritual Magic Card.

Stupid:

• Wall Shadow
• Ridiculous Summoning conditions, no Shadow Ghoul effect, same DEF as Labyrinth Wall which is easier to summon.
• House of Adhesive Tape and Eatgaboon
• Destroys monsters with such low stats. There are better cards to get rid of those same monsters.
• Darkness Approaches
• How does face-down ATK position work?
