| - A Junk Rare (also known as a "Scrub Rare", "Reject Rare", "Cheap Rare") and "カスレア" (Kasurea, the same meaning as "Junk Rare"), "ハズレア" (Hazurea, meaning "Throwaway Rare" or "Dud Rare") in Japanese is a slang term for cards that are Very Rare or above that are extremely low in card power and will never be used in competitive 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".
- There are the awesome, powerful rare cards that you're eagerly praying to see when you crack open a booster pack...and then there are these. A Junk Rare is weak, narrow, useless, or otherwise undesirable, and to make matters worse, it's rare. So much for Power Equals Rarity. Naturally, Your Mileage May Vary. One player's Awesome but Impractical is another player's Who Cares How Impractical It Is, It's Awesome! And one should never underestimate the power of Narm Charm. And Hundred-Percent Completion. Examples of Junk Rare include:

This trope is not exclusive to Collectible Card Games--Random Drops can qualify as well, and when they do they are often also Vendor Trash. May be Awesome but Impractical, Cool but Inefficient, or a Useless Useful Spell. If it's only available through a special promotion, it's a Promotional Powerless Piece of Garbage.
