Amazoness Silver Sword Master — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 55 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 53 · Deck: 57 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Recovery/Recursion · Secondary: Extender
Why it scores here
The card's value is recursion: once per turn it returns an Amazoness Spell/Trap from the GY to hand when an Amazoness monster is involved in an attack, and its monster effects can recycle it through the Pendulum Zone from the GY or the field. The continuous ATK boost (Level x 100) on Amazoness monsters adds board presence, but the card has no opponent interaction and no recorded combo evidence, so combo conversion stays at a moderate level. High deck inclusion (79.8% of sampled decks in the Amazoness archetype, 96% of decks with its core partners) confirms it is a reliable staple in its home, not that it is intrinsically strong, and that inclusion is not credited beyond accessibility and deck fit. Its 1200 ATK and 2000 DEF earn no points.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Present in 248 of 248 sampled decks at about 1.8 copies each, with the Amazoness archetype at 79.8%, but no combo starter or searched counts exist to confirm how it is reached in a live hand (observed, inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | The text gives an ATK boost to all Amazoness monsters and a GY-to-hand recovery, but combo data has zero recorded boards, so the conversion into a board is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 65 | Once-per-turn GY-to-hand recovery of an Amazoness Spell/Trap is repeatable card advantage, and the Pendulum Zone recycle gives a further recursion route (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | The card has no negation, removal or hand-trap effect, so opponent interaction is effectively absent (verified). |
| Material Utility | 40 | A Level 3 Earth Warrior is a plain body that can serve as material, but no material role evidence exists and nothing in the text makes it a strong material (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 60 | It can act from the monster zone, the GY and the Pendulum Zone, with separate once-per-turn effects, giving multi-zone recovery; no interaction-resistance data exists (verified, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Three copies are unlimited, there is no garnet or lock, and the average copy count is about 1.8, so it is cheap to run inside its archetype but offers little splash value (verified, observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Recovery/Recursion + 0.3 Extender. Intrinsic ≈ 53, Deck ≈ 57, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Once-per-turn recovery of an Amazoness Spell/Trap from the GY gives repeatable card advantage
- Recycles itself through the Pendulum Zone, keeping it live across turns
- Continuous ATK boost for the whole Amazoness board
- Near-zero deck cost: three copies unlimited, no garnet
Weaknesses
- No opponent interaction, negation or removal
- Archetype-locked: its value depends on the Amazoness board and spell/trap pool
- No combo evidence, so board conversion is unproven in practice
- Once-per-turn limits on each effect restrict repeat use
Counters / choke points
- Generic negation or hand traps that stop the attack-declaration trigger or the Pendulum Zone recycle
- Opponent ability to pressure the Amazoness board, leaving the ATK boost with nothing to act on
Best use
Recursion engine and Pendulum recycler in Amazoness pendulum builds. Decks: Amazoness. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Pendulum effect: Amazoness monsters gain ATK equal to Level x 100; Once-per-turn GY-to-hand recovery of an Amazoness Spell/Trap when an Amazoness monster is involved in an attack; Monster effects allow placing the card in the Pendulum Zone from the monster zone or GY, once per turn each; Deck presence: 248 of 248 sampled decks, 1.82 average copies, 79.8% in the Amazoness archetype
- Observed: Top partners appear in 91% to 96% of decks with this card; Usage statistics show 100% inclusion in the main Amazoness archetype at 2 typical copies
- Inferred: Recovery role is primary; Extender is secondary; Board conversion is text-only because there are no combo boards; Material utility is plain and generic
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no rulings supplied for the Damage Step exception on the GY placement effect
