Amazoness Trainee — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 50 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 49 · Deck: 50 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Utility · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
The card text describes a plain Level 4 1500-ATK Warrior whose only extra effects are battle-only: a bottom-of-Deck redirect for monsters destroyed by battle with it, and +200 ATK after it destroys an opponent's monster by battle. Those clauses convert very little on their own, so the score comes mostly from being a cheap, live Amazoness core body (37 of 37 sampled decks, 1.7 copies on average) and from generic material use. The high ATK and DEF earned no points, and the zero combo sample means conversion is text-only inference, which keeps the uncertainty band wide.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Runs in all 37 sampled decks at 1 to 2 copies, but no searcher or support route is supplied to confirm how it is reached (observed; inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 30 | No recorded boards contain it, so conversion rests on text alone: a battle-only +200 ATK clause with no removal or board-building effect (verified; inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | No card advantage or GY refuel; the bottom-of-Deck clause redirects battle-destroyed monsters but returns no card to hand (verified; inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 25 | Its only interaction is a battle-triggered ATK gain, with no negation, removal or hand-trap reach (verified). |
| Material Utility | 50 | A non-Tuner Level 4 EARTH body is a generic material, and the body still counts when the battle clause is negated; there is no material role evidence (verified; inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | A 1500/1300 battle-dependent body is easy to lose, and 1 to 2 copies with two or three named homes give only modest redundancy (inferred; observed). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Costs one or two slots with no garnet or lock, but it is limited to the Amazoness archetype (observed; inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Utility + 0.3 Material body (default weights blended). Intrinsic ≈ 49, Deck ≈ 50, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Live in 37 of 37 sampled decks, with Amazoness Swords Woman co-present in every one (observed)
- Cheap to run at 1 to 2 copies with no garnet or lock (observed; inferred)
- Its battle-triggered +200 ATK gives a small edge in combat against common 1500 bodies (verified)
Weaknesses
- No combo boards recorded, so no measured starter, searched or payoff role (data gap)
- Both of its effects are battle-only and disappear if the card is negated or never reaches battle (verified; inferred)
- Most of its deck presence comes from the Amazoness core, so it is partner-driven rather than standalone (observed)
Counters / choke points
- Effect negation removes the battle clauses, leaving only a vanilla-level body (inferred)
- Battle-destroying the body before it gets to attack removes its only extra value (inferred)
Best use
Level 4 Amazoness body with a battle-only bonus; a cheap extra body rather than a combo starter. Decks: Amazoness core decks (Amazoness archetype, Swords Woman and Feather Duster lines).
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 4 Effect Monster, Warrior, EARTH, 1500 ATK / 1300 DEF, Amazoness archetype (card data); Battle-only text: bottom-of-Deck redirect for monsters destroyed by battle with it, and +200 ATK after destroying an opponent's monster by battle (card text); Legal in TCG, OCG, MasterDuel and DuelLinks (card formats)
- Observed: Present in 37 of 37 sampled decks as a main-deck card, average 1.7 copies (deck data); Amazoness Swords Woman co-occurs in 100% of decks; Harpie's Feather Duster in 89.2% (top partners)
- Inferred: Accessibility is archetype-dependent with no confirmed searcher route (no searcher evidence supplied); Material value is generic for a non-Tuner Level 4 body (no material role data)
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard): archetype inclusion inferred from the deck sample only archetype rows list 'Amazoness' under three archetype_ids, so the effective distinct home count is about 2 no searcher or support-card table supplied: accessibility route unverified no ruling data supplied for the battle-destruction clauses
