The eighth card is the Kuriboh from the 5D’s manga. It can be discarded to stop an opponents effect damage from going through and destroying whatever card he was using to do it. You can also tribute it for the same effect. This seems to be a decent effect, especially against burn decks.

The seventh card, Berserker Crush, is more Winged Kuriboh support. This one lets you replace your Winged Kuribohs atk and def with a monster in your graveyard for the turn. It’s a quick-play spell card so if you can use it on your opponents turn as well. If you have something strong enough in your graveyard you might be able to keep your Winged Kuriboh in attack mode and only need to use it when your opponent decides to attack. If you try that you might want to have a probable reason to keep the Kuriboh in attack mode anyways, otherwise they’ll probably figure you have a trap for if they attack, though if they’ve seen you use it before that also might work as a bluff. If you have Winged Kuriboh then having this card is pretty good.

The sixth card is a support card for Winged Kuriboh. If you have Winged Kuriboh in your graveyard you can pay half your life points to obtain Polymerization or a Fusion spell card, and if you have three of Sabatiel in your graveyard you can banish them to increase one of your monsters atk by the highest atk on the field. Its second effect can either make one of your monsters the strongest on the field, or double its strength, which is great, but its first effect causes some confusion. Going by what I know of Multiply Sabatiels first effect only works with Winged Kuriboh, and not either of its LV forms, but Polymerization and Fusion in the effect text have the same quotation marks around it and it follows that with specifying that Diffusion Wave-Motion isn’t a valid target, which if that needed specifying should mean that Sabatiel would work with the Winged Kuriboh LV cards, and Multiply with any cards with Kuriboh in the title. Either way it seems like a good card to me, if you have a fusion deck then Winged Kuriboh is not bad to use as a wall for a turn, and you can also try and use copies of Sabatiel as fodder for effects like Graceful Charity. All in all it seems like a pretty good card.

The fifth card is one of the Kuribohs from GX, and instead of being used to stop damage this one is a battler. You can summon it manually for two tributes, or special summon it at a chain link of three or more. Its stats are 500 x the number of spell cards your opponent has in their grave, but any spells used when he is on the field get banished instead of going to the graveyard. You can also only have one of them at a time. If you use a lot of spell cards this can combo well with cards like Gren Maju Da Eiza and Golden Homunculus. It can also help set up for Number 92: Heart-eartH Dragon, being a level 9 monster and banishing spells for Heart-eartH Dragons resurrection effect. This card seems to be pretty good on its own and with other cards.

The fourth card is Clear Kuriboh, the Kuriboh from the Dark Side of Dimensions movie. You can discard it to stop one of your opponents monsters from doing effect damage, and when it’s in the graveyard and your opponent attacks directly you can banish it to draw a card, and if it’s a monster special summon it. The second effect seems more useful, drawing a card no matter what, and you might get to summon a higher level monster with it.

The third card is a Kuriboh Token, it’s just one of the things summoned by Multiply. While there hasn’t been much that was wintery or Christmasy yet I’m guessing Detonate will appear soon. There’s not much to say about this card, it’s neat actually having the token but that’s it. Now I’m wondering how they deal with Token cards in actual duels, it probably just means that your opponent knows you have a token generator but I’m guessing they get their own deck off to the side. I do wonder where it would be put though.

The second card is Multiply, one of the support cards I mentioned in the previous post. It tributes a Kuriboh on the field to summon four defense position tokens that have the same stats as Kuriboh, which could be useful for things such as Link Summoning, a defensive wall, or detonating to take down four of your opponents cards. Literally only useful if you have Kuriboh, but they can be useful.
