Ace★Spades Speculation — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 55 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 53 · Deck: 56 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss/End-board · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion, Floodgate/Control
Why it scores here
The card's value is a 2500-ATK body that can be recurred from the Graveyard, with Attack Position gaining ATK equal to the highest original ATK among the opponent's monsters, and Defense Position making it immune to battle and card-effect destruction. Its ATK and DEF stats are not what earns the score. The score is held down by the Tribute cost (one Attack Position monster and one face-down Defense Position monster), the once-per-turn Special Summon limit, and the absence of any recorded combo evidence, so the combo axis rests on text alone. Deck evidence is the strongest signal: 400 of 400 sampled decks run one copy across 74 archetypes, which supports accessibility and deck fit, but that frequency does not raise the power score.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Present in all 400 sampled decks at one copy each and co-played with Super Polymerization (84.8%) and Harpie's Feather Duster (76.8%), but no searcher or direct route is documented in the evidence (observed, inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | The text converts two tributes into one 2500-ATK body with a conditional ATK gain, but combo data has zero recorded boards, so conversion is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | Two tributes for one body is a net card loss on the field, partly offset by the Graveyard Special Summon, which is once per turn (verified from text, inferred for value). |
| Effect & Interaction | 40 | Defense Position indestructibility protects the body from battle and card effects but does not negate or remove anything from the opponent (verified). |
| Material Utility | 35 | No material-use evidence is supplied; as a Level 7 LIGHT Warrior it may serve as material, but nothing in the evidence confirms it (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Graveyard recursion gives a second use, but the once-per-turn limit, the two-tribute cost, and the position-dependent effect limit flexibility (verified from text, inferred for impact). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 65 | Single copies are used across 400 decks with no garnet or lock restriction in the evidence, so the card is clean to run (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Boss/End-board primary role, no secondary blend. Intrinsic ≈ 53, Deck ≈ 56, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Graveyard recursion gives a second use from one card
- Defense Position indestructibility is a resilient late-game body
- Consistently included in a broad range of decks (observed in sample)
Weaknesses
- Two-monster Tribute cost slows the board
- Once-per-turn Special Summon limit
- No negation or removal
- Combo role unverified because combo evidence is absent
Counters / choke points
- Monster removal or destruction effects that target the Attack Position body before it converts
- Negation or Special Summon-restricting effects that stop the Graveyard recursion
Best use
Boss/End-board finisher with Graveyard recursion. Decks: Fusion and Polymerization-based decks that can afford a two-monster Tribute. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: two-monster Tribute cost, once-per-turn Graveyard Special Summon, ATK gain tied to opponent's highest original ATK, Defense Position indestructibility; Card identity: id 13419, passcode 10796448, Fusion Monster frame, Level 7, 2500/2500
- Observed: Present in 400 of 400 decks at one copy each, across 74 archetypes; Co-played with Super Polymerization (84.8%) and Harpie's Feather Duster (76.8%)
- Inferred: Accessibility relies on Polymerization-style summoning, which the evidence does not document as a direct route; Combo conversion and the Boss/End-board role are text-based because combo evidence is absent
- Data gaps: No combo evidence (total combos 0), so combo conversion is text-only inference Frame type is fusion, yet deck data lists the card as running in the main deck; this conflict was not resolved The one guide snippet is about Morgana and does not describe this card No banlist token, so 3 copies assumed No usage statistics (StatisticsCard) available Card text does not state how the card is summoned, so the Tribute wording is taken as the summoning condition only from the first text line (inferred)
