Amorphage Wrath — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 54 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 55 · Deck: 57 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Floodgate / Control · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Amorphage Wrath scores mainly as a floodgate. Its Pendulum effect stops both players from Tributing (except Amorphage monsters) while an Amorphage monster is controlled, and its monster effect stops Extra Deck Special Summons for both players after a Pendulum Summon or flip. Its 1650 ATK and Level 4 body earn almost nothing; the score rests on the restriction and on its consistent presence in Amorphage lists (100% inclusion in the StatisticsCard sample, 21 of 60 decks in the Amorphage archetype). The absence of combo evidence keeps combo conversion and resource economy low.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 50 | Appears in 60 recent decks with 100% Amorphage-archetype inclusion, but the Pendulum Summon route depends on scale partners and searchers that the evidence does not list (observed; route detail inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 25 | No recorded combo boards (0 appearances), so conversion is text-only: it restricts the board rather than building one (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 25 | No card advantage in the text; its Standby option is a Tribute cost or self-destruction, which is at best even (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 65 | Both the Tribute lock and the Extra Deck summon lock are real, hard-to-play-around restrictions, but they are conditional and affect both players (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 50 | A Level 4 Earth Dragon Pendulum body is a usable material, and it keeps that role when its effect is negated, though it is not a Tuner (verified from text; no material role combo data). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Negating its effects removes the floodgate, and the Standby self-destruction option makes it awkward to keep on the field (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | Average 1.75 copies per deck and typical 2 copies, with a Tribute restriction that only costs non-Amorphage decks (observed; self-lock inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Floodgate/Control + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 55, Deck ≈ 57, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Self-locking restriction (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Hard floodgate on Tributes and on Extra Deck Special Summons while face-up
- Present in 60 recent decks; 100% inclusion in the Amorphage StatisticsCard sample
- Level 4 Earth body remains usable as material when its effect is negated
Weaknesses
- No combo evidence, so combo conversion and starter/searcher roles cannot be confirmed
- Restrictions affect both players and are conditional on a Pendulum Summon or flip
- Standby self-destruction and self-Tribute ban limit its flexibility
Counters / choke points
- Effect negation on the face-up Pendulum monster (inferred from text)
- Removing the Amorphage monster that enables the Tribute lock (inferred from text)
Best use
Floodgate / Control. Decks: Amorphage. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Pendulum effect: Tribute lock for both players except Amorphage monsters while an Amorphage monster is controlled; Pendulum effect: once per turn Standby Phase Tribute 1 monster or destroy this card; Monster effect: Extra Deck Special Summon lock for both players after Pendulum Summon or flip, except Amorphage; Level 4, Earth, Dragon, scale 3, ATK 1650
- Observed: Included in 60 recent decks, 21 of them Amorphage (35%); Usage StatisticsCard: Amorphage 100% inclusion, typical 2 copies; Top partners: Amorphage Greed and Amorphage Lechery each in 90% of its decks
- Inferred: Primary role is a floodgate: the restrictions shape the board more than they add value; Pendulum route needs a scale partner not supplied in the evidence; Negation would remove the floodgate
- Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference No guides supplied No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) Pendulum scale partners and searchers are not supplied, so the Pendulum Summon route is unverified No Top-Card ranking (top-card status false)
