QCSE Quarter Century Secret Rare The Man with the Mark X EARTH Level 4 [ SpellcasterEffect ] ATK 1000 DEF 1000 If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can take 1 "Temple of the Kings", or 1 Spell/Trap that mentions it, from your Deck and either add it to your hand or send it to the GY
UR Ultra Rare Mannadium Reframing X TRAP Counter When a Spell/Trap Card, or monster effect, is activated while you control a Synchro Monster: Negate the activation, then if you have "Visas Starfrost", or a monster with 1500 ATK/2100 DEF, on your field or in your GY, you can destroy that negated card
