Reviews underway, didn't have time due to Spoiler mishap.

OCG is flawless. No errors whatsoever.

[b]Effect / Usefulness:[/b]
As a Level 2 Excess, the only way to get it out easily is Dandylion Tokens, but I don't know if Tokens work, for this situation, I will assume they will. If they do not, I will do a -1 to this rating due to it making it somewhat a hassle to get out, even though there are cards such as One for One. The card when Excess Summoned successfully, lets you Overlay 2 Dragon-Types in your Graveyard onto this card, giving it 4 Overlays, which means it will take 4 times to remove it from the field. Quite the annoyance for quite the small monster. The monster then can return a Overlaid monster to the Deck to negate an attack targeted at this card, and end the Battle Phase. I like it, seeing it makes perfect small. It's uses are questionable for some odd reason. Making it LIGHT makes it more useful for cards such as Honest.

[b]Originality / Balance:[/b]
I have said this many times, it is semi-original, for it's main effect reminds me of Negate Attack, and it's recycling effect somewhat reminds me of a card similar to the Transmigration Prophecy or something. Balance seems questionable to me, but in reality, most likely is balanced. Overpowered? Maybe, just maybe, but most likely not. Underpowered? Lolno, well, depends on the whole Token thing really.

[b]Ratings:[/b]
OCG / Common Sense: 2/2
Effect / Usefulness: 3.2/4
Originality / Balance: 2.7/4
[b]Overall: 7.9/10[/b]

[b]OCG / Common Sense:[/b]
OCG is flawless. No errors whatsoever.

[b]Effect / Usefulness:[/b]
I sense a boss coming. To start off, Level 8 means automatic Trade-In target. The card needs Reptiles to get Excess, making it somewhat 'hard' to use I guess. Neither player being able to Special Summon is something I love about this card, for it's uses can make it possibly Anti-Meta. You can also return 1 removed Reptile back your Grave to bounce a card on the field, but how they will get removed from the first place, I don't know. The card then when destroyed (which is quite hard with the stats and whatnot), gets you out a Swarm Croc from anywhere. Is this useful? Kinda.

[b]Originality / Balance:[/b]
Not the most original, and it somewhat saddens me how the effect hardly uses Overlays. But hey, who said an Excess Monster have to use it's Overlays? But either way, it makes me kinda sad. Balance is somewhat questionable, seeing it's a Level 8 for Trade-In, a somewhat situational bouncer, and can swarm out a monster. So I don't know really.

[b]Ratings:[/b]
OCG / Common Sense: 2/2
Effect / Usefulness: 2.7/4
Originality / Balance: 2.5/4
[b]Overall: 7.2/10[/b]

[color=blue][b]Swarm Croc[/b][/color]

[b]OCG / Common Sense:[/b]
OCG is flawless. No errors whatsoever.

[b]Effect / Usefulness:[/b]
The card lets you get out a Reptile that is in your removed from play or Grave at the discard of a cost, which can be beneficial if you discard a monster you need out ASAP. Downside is the monster can't attack. The card also when sent to the Graveyard, lets you search for a Reptile Excess. It's not the most useful card, seeing it's Excess Support are extremely limited to Reptile Excess Decks and whatnot, although it can work outside of it's Excess uses.

[b]Originality / Balance:[/b]
Not that original to be honest. Just your average Swarmer / Searcher. It is balanced though.

[b]Ratings:[/b]
OCG / Common Sense: 2/2
Effect / Usefulness: 2/4
Originality / Balance: 2/4
[b]Overall: 6/10[/b]

Well ;P I'm not as 'anal'(figuratively! FIGUARTIVELY!) about whether cards or not fit into meta like some people do >< I just take a look on and see if it has use so @.@ Alot of my stuff may not agree w/ some people.

[size="4"][b][i][color="#008000"]Official Review[/color][/i][/b][/size]

Techo:
Easily seen in Machina's or Gadgets. When it's Excess Summoned it adds a Machine to your hand by removing a Spell Card. Set up for Machina Fortress. Then there is the draw power which I think is good. Much much better than Scrap Recycler.

Synthetic:
Hmmm...Helpful I suppose for if your opponent pulled Mirror Force or something to destroy all your monsters. Not seein much else for this card. It's got a use but it's not really that good ><.

Aurora:
I see what Anbu was saying [b]but[/b] Psychics are better. This card is great. To make it that OP you would have to do some major setting up so it's not really OP. I do like how it's a Quick-Play. As Anbu said it's good for messing up OTK's.

Undersea:
This card is alright. REDMD is better. It is good though for stall but that's about it for me.

Ultima:
This card seems to be slightly UP to me. It requires more set up than Brionac and its a -1 for Reptiles. Reptiles do best in the Graveyard from my experience. It's still a decent card though. It'd be better to have you send a Reptile from the Deck to bounce IMO.

Swarm:
Seems a little strong to me being Level 4. But the better Reptiles cannot be SS through this effect, so I suppose it's fine. Other than that it seems fine.

Blessing:
I somehow don't think Tokens will be allowed as Overlays if Excess monsters come out. As a ruling, when a Token is removed from the field is destroyed completely (not the card itself but you know what I mean >>) like, they don't go to the Graveyard. But I'm not sure so I'll set that aside. This would be broken if the tokens could be used for Synchro Summoning. Right now though, if Tokens were to be allowed as Overlays I could see this being semi-ed or limited as it's powerful.

Endymion:
Reasonably creative, haven't seen an effect like this before, but I'm not sure how to comment this ><! I mean it's first effect is alright, and it's last effect would be good w/ Field Spells.

Evolution:
It's good support but thats just about it. Not much else to say its a generic card. (=/ Hate saying "Generic")

Chain:
I see nothing wrong with this. It's easily Frog support but somehow I don't think this would be used alot as Frogs are generally quick and this isn't that quick. It gives them a good beatstick though which is much needed.

Sanctuary:
It's decent support for Fiend Excess monsters. Not much else to say about it. The increase could be raised though if you're going to send an Overlay to keep this card out I'd want more bang for the buck.

Portal:
Good set up for Black Salvo (who may also become coveted Excess Support). Good Draw power. This makes Overlays more like Union monsters. I like this card.

Agate:
Agate is great CB support but you forgot to actually give it the Excess Card Type >> Otherwise it can't get Overlays. Overlay Emerald and Mammoth on this and thats a great combination! I like it's last effect most, add Sapphire Pegasus would be good. I sometimes run Crystal Beasts w/ Jester Lord, this would be good set up for Jester Lord. (No Trolls I don't use that deck competitively. It's just for fun.)

Drill:
Easily teched at 3 in Excess Decks. All I can say.

>< I feel like I gave to short of a review for an official review ); I may edit this but this is still my official review just know it's subject to change.

Thanks :)
