Star Reader Stella
Art - ☆☆
Another generic anime girl in underwear. If she were dressed, I would give her one more point. Let's move on.
Effects/Voice Acting - ☆☆☆
Honestly, the voice doesn't quite match the art. Usually, in anime, they voice moms, not young girls. However, it's still better than something overly cute and squeaky.
Mechanics - ☆☆☆
I haven't had a chance to play with Stella, but on paper, it looks decent. Better than some legendaries. But it can't be called an original or reliable mechanic.

Loki
Art - ☆☆☆☆☆
Good art. Especially compared to Loki from Granblue.
Effects/Voice Acting - ☆☆☆
It's okay, but sometimes he speaks too nasally. I imagined his voice differently.
Mechanics - ☆☆
It seems interesting, but not very applicable in practice. I've only seen a successful application of Loki once – in a deck with a legendary chimera. But even that deck is slow and not very reliable.

Twilight Queen
Art - ☆☆☆☆☆
The best legendary of the expansion, in terms of art. And overall, one of the best girls in the game.
Effects/Voice Acting - ☆☆☆☆
It's not bad, but she whispers too much.
Mechanics - ☆☆☆☆
A good and quite original ability, and it fits well into my favorite deck. The main thing is that Neftis summons her successfully.

Mars, Silent Flame General
Art - ☆☆☆☆
Pleasant face. I would have given her five stars if she didn't wear a dress and such a silly helmet. She's the goddess of war, so why not put her in armor? Besides, it would add some nice variety. However, it's better to have this outfit than some kind of breastplate.
Effects/Voice Acting - ☆☆☆☆☆
But the voice is five stars. Music to my ears.
Mechanics - ☆☆☆☆
An example of a useful and interesting, but not overpowered, legendary.

Venus
Art - ☆☆☆
Average, not to my taste.
Effects/Voice Acting - ☆☆☆
She also sounds like someone's mom, but here it fits the character.
Mechanics - ☆☆☆
A typical forest card, nothing new.

Draconic Singer
Art - ☆☆☆
The dragon in the background is not bad. The girl isn't very good, and she's blocking it.
Effects/Voice Acting -
It's nice when you kill her, but it still hurts my ears. I have to turn off the sound.
Mechanics - ☆☆
It's been done with dragons many times before. Almost since the very first pack. Not very interesting, and the benefit is questionable.

Ceres of the Night
Art - ☆☆
It feels like the head was taken from one character, the body from another, and the legs from a third. And the outfit is very peculiar, the neckline is clearly unnecessary, and there's not enough fabric at the bottom. It feels like the outfit was also made in pieces. However, the body proportions are better in the evolved art. The outfit is still not very good, although it doesn't look so out of place.
Effects/Voice Acting - ☆☆☆☆
Not bad, but there are better ones. For example, Mars from the same expansion.
Mechanics - ☆☆☆☆
A useful card, although it doesn't fit my deck very well. Especially since it's a 4-drop, and that slot is reserved for the queen of this expansion.

Snarling Chains
Art - ☆☆☆☆☆
One of the best cards in Bloodcraft, in terms of art. Of course, it's not a great achievement, but the art is really good.
Mechanics - ☆☆☆☆
I played with it in Arena. I liked it. Convenient.

Lute, Leonard Necromancer
Art - ☆☆☆
Average, there are better guys in Shadowverse. But at least he's not some Walfried or, worse, Kudjel.
Effects/Voice Acting - ☆☆☆
The art is average, so is the voice acting.
Mechanics - ☆☆
It seems original, but it's too exotic. A dead card.

Lightning Lancer
Art - ☆☆☆☆
Perhaps the best of the Rune girls in the expansion. And one of the best overall.
Effects/Voice Acting - ☆☆☆☆
Not bad, but not the best. A solid four points.
Mechanics - ☆☆
For its craft, the card is frankly weak. If it were neutral, it might find some use as an alternative to Tina. But even then, it couldn't be called top-tier.

Fenrir
Art -
I don't like giant wolves (or small and ordinary ones, for that matter), but I'd rather have them than this. It's still better than Cerberus, but it also hits rock bottom. If they really wanted to make Fenrir a girl, they should have taken her art from Granblue. It's better drawn, and she looks more mature. But the best option, as I wrote above, would be to make a canonical wolf. And as Loki's son, not his pet.
Effects/Voice Acting - ☆☆☆☆
But the voice acting is good. Not the best, I was torn between 3 and 4 points, but I decided to choose the latter. Especially compared to the usual soft or squeaky voices in Shadowverse.
Mechanics - ☆☆☆
I haven't used it myself, but I've encountered it many times. An unpleasant card, even if only in Arena.

Princess Juliet
Art - ☆☆
If it weren't for the completely broken spine, she could have been good.
Effects/Voice Acting - ☆☆
Meh. Too generic.
Mechanics - ☆☆☆
I use it in my aggro-mech deck and I'm happy with it. A good card. Not very interesting (to put it mildly), but good.

Beast Rider
Art - ☆☆
I don't know, if it wasn't a dragon card, I would have thought it was Blood. However, they have Forte, who is listed as a demon. The scene itself could be funny if it weren't for the central character. Well, players of Blood can at least be happy that it didn't affect them.
Effects/Voice Acting -
Someone from the contest clearly hates my ears.
Mechanics - ☆☆☆
It seems to have potential, but I haven't encountered this card in the game. So it's hard to judge.

Dragonrearer Matilda
Art - ☆☆☆
Average art, not to my taste.
Effects/Voice Acting - ☆☆☆
And she also sounds like someone's mom. It fits the image well.
Mechanics - ☆☆☆
Not the most useful or interesting card, but it has its uses. This is clearly visible both in Arena and in Ranked. Very clearly.
