This week, I’m going to test out a
new system of rating cards called the A BAD system,
created by a featured writer at Pojo’s Yu-Gi-Oh, Jae
Love. Here is a link to his article on A BAD system…

The
system works well enough with YGO, so what about
Neopets?
Sleep Ray
Equipment | Weapon
Strength +4 | Magic +2
“To play this, tap one of your Neopets.
If you win a contest this Neopet is in on your turn
by rolling a 6, choose one of its rivals and discard
it. (A Basic Neopet is put at the bottom of its
owner’s Neopet stack.”
Bank: 2
-Holofoil
Advantage F/H:
This will give you a minimal advantage in the area
of Magic, and an above-average boost in Strength.
You’ll be tapping one of your Neopets, which means
you’ll have less to use during your turn. As well,
it is giving you clear field advantage of one card,
if you roll a 6 to win on your contest. Strictly
average, if that.
5/10
Best Draw for the Situation:
Rarely will you need a boost of 4 or 2 in a specific
category, and considering the fact that it only
provides the boost to two categories brings its
rating here down even further. Cards that give stat
boosts to all stats rate higher here. If you have
Neopets in those two arenas, they may be moved
somehow anyway, which isn’t uncommon. As well, it’s
a Bank for 2, which is substandard. There are many,
many better cards that will Bank for higher. If it
was a Bank for 3, its rating here would be upped.
4/10
Attributes/Effect:
You will almost never make use of the effect,
because of the fact that only YOU can win with a 6,
and only on YOUR turn. If both of you roll a 6, you
re-roll. If your opponent rolls a 5 with Grarrl
Gladiator, you re-roll. This rating is boosted
slightly because of the fact that it has no
attribute. That means it will work with Battle Eyrie,
one of the few cards possible to help out.
4/10
Dependability:
This card is barely dependable. It is only good if
you happen to need a boost in Strength. Its effect
will go off extremely rarely; leaving you with a
deadweight equipment card you tapped a Neopet for.
3/10
Total: 16/40 = 4/10
Seems to work fine in my opinion!
