Amazoness Spiritualist — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 58 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 55 · Deck: 60 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Searcher/Tutor
Why it scores here
Amazoness Spiritualist converts an Amazoness already on the field into a hand/GY-activated bounce-and-Special-Summon, and its Special Summon trigger adds Polymerization, so it is a real starter that also gives a search. Its 800 ATK and 1800 DEF contribute nothing; the score comes from access from hand or GY, the card-neutral reuse, and clean deck cost. No combo boards were supplied, so the conversion score rests on text plus deck context, and the high deck share (250 of 250 sampled decks, 81.6% in one archetype) confirms the role is played, not that it is strong.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | Live from hand or GY whenever an Amazoness you control is on field; 250/250 sampled decks run it and 98.8% of them also run the core Amazoness partners (deck data; observed, with the on-field Amazoness requirement from text, verified). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | The bounce-then-Special-Summon loop reuses its own body and then fetches Polymerization, but the evidence records no combo boards (combo data total 0), so the conversion is text-only (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | The bounce is card-neutral and the Special Summon trigger adds Polymerization, a net +1 card with no cost beyond the bounce; the two effects are once per turn each (verified text, inferred value). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card has no negation, removal or hand-trap reach; its effects only reposition its own body and search (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 35 | It is a Level 2 EARTH Warrior, a usable low-Level material, but it is a weak body on field and its value as material is undocumented in the evidence (verified stats, inferred use). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 60 | Its activations come from hand or GY, which dodges field-based interaction, and two separate once-per-turn effects give some redundancy across zones (verified text, inferred resilience). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Unlimited legal copies with an average of 1.98 copies per deck and a typical 2 copies; no garnet or lock restriction (verified copies data, observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter / Combo enabler + 0.3 Searcher / Tutor. Intrinsic ≈ 55, Deck ≈ 60, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Live from hand or GY when an Amazoness is on field, so it avoids field-based interaction
- Its Special Summon trigger adds Polymerization, a search, on top of the reuse
- Cheap to run with unlimited legal copies and no garnet cost
Weaknesses
- Its activation needs an Amazoness you control, so it is dead outside that deck
- Its 800 ATK body and effects provide no interaction or negation
- Deck share is mostly one archetype, which limits its use elsewhere
Counters / choke points
- Monster-effect negation or a hand trap that answers the hand/GY activation
- Floodgates or effect bans that stop Special Summons from the Extra Deck, if they hit the Amazoness shell
Best use
Starter / Searcher in the Amazoness shell, reusing a bounced Amazoness and fetching Polymerization. Decks: Amazoness (archetype 815), Amazoness (archetype 1388). Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Hand or GY activation: bounce a non-Spiritualist Amazoness you control, then Special Summon this card; Special Summon trigger adds one Polymerization from the Deck to the hand; Each effect is once per turn; Extra Deck Special Summon restriction for the rest of the turn; Level 2 EARTH Warrior, 800 ATK / 1800 DEF, legal in TCG, OCG and MasterDuel
- Observed: Appears in 250 of 250 sampled decks (decks running it in the Main Deck 250), average 1.98 copies; 98.8% of sampled decks share Amazoness Princess, War Chief and Call with it; Included in 100% of Amazoness (gameplay 7) and 66.7% of Amazoness (gameplay 4) usage statistics, which show consistent inclusion and not power
- Inferred: Bounce-and-SS is card-neutral and gives a net +1 card through the Polymerization search; Its value as a Level 2 material is modest and unverified; Hand/GY activations give resilience against field-based interaction
- Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no average starter count when present; the deck-resilience estimate is partly inferred
