Junk Rare

A Junk Rare' (Also known as a "Scrub Rare", "Reject Rare", "Cheap Rare") is a slang term for cards that are Very Rare or above that is extremely low in card power and will never be used in play. Due to this their collective value is usually very low and most will only sell for around 70-300 yen. The reverse term is "Top Rare.

Definition
A Junk Rare is not something like the Quasi-Vanilla fatties like in DM-01 and DM-05 as most of the cards that are Very Rare or above is basically the same. (This includes Syrius, Firmament Elemental and King Tsunami as they are considered weak at that time due to their high costs.) It means something that is of the same rarity as many competitively useful cards but is extremely low in card power, often standing out from the rest.
 * The following is an example of a series of Top Rares comparing to the Junk Rares of the same set, taking DMR-13 as an example;
 * The extremely powerful and rare Gaiginga, Passionate Star Dragon, appearing one every 17 boxes and is among one of the most powerful finishers in today's metagame;
 * The extremely versatile Sr Spellcyclica, Dragment Symbol, widely used in Miramisu and Mana burn decks;
 * The extremely powerful Spell Lockdown Hibiki, Explosive Mirror;
 * Zeek Cavalie, Dragon King of Spirits which has an absurdly difficult to achieve extra win condition;
 * Fulboko Donacle, Ultra Passion which seems bland compared to the rest of the Super Rares and has an extremely high packaging rate;
 * A cycle of Vanilla creatures that are strictly worse than Vanilla Giant or Smith, Breaking Right.
