Abyss Actor - Super Producer — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 59 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 59.9 · Deck: 59.3 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor · Secondary: Starter
Why it scores here
The card's value is access: as a DARK Fiend Link-2 it is a routine link body, and its quick effect destroys one of its own face-up cards to place Abyss Playhouse from the Deck to the Field Zone or an Abyss Actor Pendulum from the Deck to the Pendulum Zone. That is a deck-to-zone search that converts a board presence into a live engine piece, but it costs a card and gives no interaction, so the score stays mid-range. The 400-of-400 deck presence, 52 archetypes and strong partner rates confirm the card is practical, not that it is intrinsically strong (guardrail 3), and the absence of combo boards keeps conversion at text-only inference.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 72 | Two-monster Link summon into a live search route, and it appears in all 400 sampled decks with strong partners such as Called by the Grave (observed; the Link cost itself is verified from text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 60 | The text lets it place a field spell or Pendulum from the Deck, and the guide calls it a one-card combo start, but no combo boards exist (inferred from text plus guide snippet). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | It destroys one of its own face-up cards before placing one card from the Deck, so the net is roughly even at best (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | It has no negation, removal of opponent cards or hand-trap reach, so opponent interaction is effectively absent (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 45 | As a Link-2 it is a playable link body, but its self-destruction cost makes it awkward as a repeatable material provider (inferred from text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | It is once per turn and Main Phase only, so one negate or a single-turn lock ends its use; there is some redundancy across zones and copies (inferred from text plus deck copy stats). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Averages 1.34 copies per deck with a 3-copy max and no garnet or lock restriction (observed from deck data). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher/Tutor + 0.3 Starter. Intrinsic ≈ 59.9, Deck ≈ 59.3, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Live in opening hand as a Link-2 body with practical access routes
- Places a field spell or Pendulum from the Deck, providing searcher-like access
- Confirmed across 52 archetypes with consistent partners in its sampled decks
Weaknesses
- Self-destruction cost makes the effect a net-even exchange at best
- No opponent interaction or disruption
- Once per turn and Main Phase only, so it is easy to shut down with one negate
Counters / choke points
- Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (the card's own partner, used to stop the search or summon)
- Effect negation during the Quick Effect activation
Best use
Searcher/Tutor with a Starter function as a Link body. Decks: Abyss Actor, Performage, Performapal. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Link-2 DARK Fiend with Bottom-Left and Bottom-Right arrows, ATK 1600; Quick Effect: destroy one face-up card you control, then place one card from the Deck; Once per turn restriction
- Observed: Present in all 400 sampled decks with an average of 1.34 copies per deck; Top partners include Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 83.2% and Called by the Grave at 81.5%; Inclusion of 100% in two archetype usage statistics rows
- Inferred: Searcher-like role from the deck-to-zone placement; Net-even resource economy because the cost is self-destruction
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no top-card ranking (top-card status false)
