Amorphage Gluttony — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 54 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 57 · Deck: 52 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Floodgate/Control · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Gluttony converts its Pendulum-zone presence into a monster-effect floodgate and an Extra Deck summon lock, which is where its points come from. It is reliably in the hand and in Amorphage lists (80 of 80 sampled decks, 36.2% Amorphage archetype, 2.22 average copies), but it does not build a board, draw, or refuel, and no combo evidence shows it as a starter or payoff. Its ATK of 0 and DEF of 1850 earn nothing on their own; the score rests on the lock text and deck confirmation, and the self-restriction on your own non-Amorphage effects is what holds it back.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 62 | Present in all 80 sampled decks at 2.22 average copies, with Amorphage Lechery co-appearing in 90% of them, but no combo starter or searched appearances are recorded (observed; the search route is inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 25 | No combos are supplied, so conversion is text-only: it creates no bodies and no board, and the Standby tribute is a cost rather than a conversion (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 20 | The text has no draw, search, or recursion, and Standby destruction of itself is a pure cost with no return (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 78 | While you control an Amorphage monster it stops all non-Amorphage monsters from activating effects, and it locks Extra Deck Special Summons on Pendulum Summon or flip (verified from text; strength against real opponent decks is inferred). |
| Material Utility | 45 | A Level 2 Earth Dragon body is a plausible material, but no material usage is tabled and its material value survives the effect negation only as a body (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | The Pendulum lock ends when the Amorphage monster leaves the field, and no redundancy or recovery is shown in the evidence (verified from text, inferred for the failure mode). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 45 | Two copies is the typical inclusion (usage statistics, 100% in Amorphage) with no garnet, but the self-lock on your own non-Amorphage effects makes it an archetype-bound slot (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Floodgate/Control + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 57, Deck ≈ 52, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Self-locking restriction (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Stops opponent monster effects from activating while an Amorphage monster is controlled
- Locks Extra Deck Special Summons on Pendulum Summon or flip
- Standby Phase exit (tribute 1 monster or destroy itself) gives flexibility
Weaknesses
- Dependent on controlling an Amorphage monster for its main lock
- Restricts your own non-Amorphage monster effects
- Generates no card advantage, board, or refuel
- No combo or guide evidence to confirm a starter or payoff role
Counters / choke points
- Removing the Amorphage monster you control turns off the lock (inferred from the control condition)
- Pendulum-zone removal or destruction (inferred; no specific cards are tabled)
Best use
Pendulum-zone floodgate and Extra Deck summon lock in Amorphage builds. Decks: Amorphage. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Pendulum lock: while you control an Amorphage monster, monsters cannot activate effects except Amorphage monsters; Standby Phase once per turn: tribute 1 monster or destroy this card; Extra Deck Special Summon lock on Pendulum Summon or flip, except Amorphage monsters; ATK 0, DEF 1850, Level 2, Pendulum scale 5; Usage statistics: Amorphage 100% inclusion, typical 2 copies
- Observed: Present in 80 sampled decks, 36.2% Amorphage archetype, 28 distinct archetypes; Average 2.22 copies per deck, 41 decks running 3 copies; Amorphage Lechery co-occurs in 90% of decks, Amorphage Greed in 83.8%, Amorphage Sloth in 82.5%; Gameplay split: 82.5% gameplay type 7, 17.5% gameplay type 4
- Inferred: Floodgate value against real opponent lines, since no combo or meta evidence confirms it; Material value of a Level 2 body, since no material usage is tabled; Lock ends when the Amorphage monster leaves the field
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo conversion, starter/material/payoff roles and power index are text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no material usage data for the Level 2 body no rulings or interaction data for the Pendulum-zone lock
