When this card is activated: You can take 1 "Amazoness" monster from your GY or your face-up Extra Deck, and either add it to your hand or (if it is a Pendulum Monster) place it in your Pendulum Zone. If a monster(s) is Special Summoned to your opponent's field while you control an "Amazoness" Monster Card (except during the Damage Step): You can target 1 of those opponent's monsters; gain LP equal to its ATK. You can only use this effect of "Amazoness Hall" once per turn.
Amazoness Hall — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 50 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 46 · Deck: 52 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Recovery/Recursion · Secondary: Searcher/Tutor, Utility
Why it scores here
Amazoness Hall reliably converts its archetype's graveyard and face-up Extra Deck monsters back into hand or the Pendulum Zone, a recursion effect that gives it real resource value in a deck built around Amazoness monsters. Its second effect only gains LP off an opponent's Special Summon, so it does little to interact with or stop the opponent. High ATK or other stats earn nothing here; the score comes from recursion, a dense Amazoness home (106 of 106 sampled decks run it at 1.69 copies on average), and a cheap, unlimited trap slot.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 50 | No searcher in the evidence reaches it, so access is inferred from its 100% inclusion in the Amazoness archetype and its trap-slot placement (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | No recorded combo boards exist, so conversion rests on the text alone: one GY/Extra Deck recursion plus an LP gain (verified text, no observed combo stats). |
| Resource Economy | 70 | The activation returns one Amazoness monster from the GY or Extra Deck to hand or Pendulum Zone, which is a repeatable recovery of card value (verified text, inferred advantage). |
| Effect & Interaction | 25 | The only interaction is an LP gain targeting an opponent's monster after a Special Summon, which is soft and not removal or negation (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 10 | A Trap Card cannot be material and has no body, so this axis is near zero (verified card frame). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | It sits in the Spell/Trap Zone where backrow removal can reach it, and its LP effect is once per turn and blocked in the Damage Step (verified text, inferred exposure). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | It occupies one trap slot, has unlimited legal copies, and is run at 1 to 2 copies in most decks, so it is cheap to include (observed decks evidence, banlist assumed 3 by the pack). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Recovery/Recursion + 0.3 Searcher/Tutor. Intrinsic ≈ 46, Deck ≈ 52, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Recurs Amazoness monsters from the GY and face-up Extra Deck, a repeatable recovery effect
- Included in 100% of its home-archetype decks, with 1 copy typical
- Cheap trap slot with unlimited legal copies and low restriction
Weaknesses
- Its LP effect is soft interaction, not removal or negation
- A trap in the backrow is exposed to backrow removal
- No combo evidence, so its real board impact is unmeasured
Counters / choke points
- Backrow removal or destruction of Spell/Trap cards
- Negating the activation before the GY recursion resolves
Best use
Recovery/Recursion trap in Amazoness, returning GY and Extra Deck monsters. Decks: Amazoness. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Effect 1: on activation, takes one Amazoness monster from GY or face-up Extra Deck to hand or Pendulum Zone; Effect 2: once per turn, after an opponent's Special Summon while controlling an Amazoness monster, gains LP equal to a target's ATK; Included in 106 decks, 87.7% in the Amazoness archetype, gameplay types 7 and 4
- Observed: Average 1.69 copies per deck, with 71 decks at 2 copies; 100% usage inclusion in the Amazoness archetype (typical copies 1); Top partners co-occur in 95 to 100% of decks
- Inferred: Its recursion works as a repeatable resource loop in Amazoness; Its LP effect is secondary value rather than a board-altering effect
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion and power index are text-only no guides supplied no rulings supplied; trap timing and the Damage Step exception are taken from text only no banlist token; legal copies assumed 3 (unlimited) legal copies is empty for both TCG and OCG
