Angmarl the Fiendish Monarch — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 52 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 50 · Deck: 54 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Angmarl is a conditional searcher: it needs a Tribute Summon plus a Spell in the Graveyard to banish, and it then adds a same-name Spell from the Deck, so it converts Monarch Spells into hand access rather than into board presence. Its 2400 ATK and Level 6 body earn no points by themselves. The 22-deck sample and strong partner overlap with Monarch Spells confirm a real, practical role, but no combo data is supplied, so the conversion score rests on text and deck evidence alone.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 50 | Live only after a Tribute Summon with a Spell in the GY; the 22-deck, 22-main sample confirms it is played, but the access route is conditional (inference from text and deck evidence). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | No combo boards were supplied, so the conversion of the searched Spell is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | Banishes one GY Spell to add one Deck card, so card count is roughly even, but the Tribute Summon costs a monster (inferred from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The effect has no negation, removal, or disruption component (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 45 | A Level 6 Fiend with no Tuner or special attribute role, a usable generic body but not a clean material (inferred from stats and text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | The searched Spell must be in the GY, and the body is lost to Tribute Summon; the multi-archetype spread (10 archetypes) adds some portability (observed from decks). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Single-copy use in 16 of 22 decks with no garnet or lock requirement; the Monarch Spell dependency is the main cost (observed from decks). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Primary role Searcher/Tutor, no secondary blend applied (0.7 Searcher + 0.3 Material body was considered; Searcher weights used as the dominant role). Intrinsic ≈ 50, Deck ≈ 54, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Searches a Monarch Spell on Tribute Summon, giving reliable access to the Monarch Spell package
- Appears in 22 recent decks across 10 archetypes, confirming a practical role rather than a forgotten pick
- Level 6 Fiend body usable as a generic Tribute fodder or material
Weaknesses
- Requires a Tribute Summon and a Spell in the Graveyard before any effect happens
- Does nothing on its own: no board presence, interaction, or recursion
- 2400 ATK and the Level 6 body earn no power credit; the score reflects the search only
Counters / choke points
- Any response to the Tribute Summon trigger (inferred, generic)
- Graveyard-clearing or Spell-removal effects that deny the GY banish cost (inferred)
Best use
Searcher/Tutor (conditional on Tribute Summon and a GY Spell). Decks: Monarch, Monarch Spell-based builds.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Effect: Tribute Summon trigger, banish 1 GY Spell, add 1 same-name Deck card to hand (card text); Level 6, 2400 ATK, 1000 DEF, DARK Fiend (card data); Formats: TCG, OCG, MasterDuel, DuelLinks (card data)
- Observed: Included in 22 of 22 recent sampled decks; 16 of 22 run one copy; 5 run three copies; Strongest partner overlap with Monarch support cards (72.7% co-deck rate)
- Inferred: Tribute Summon requires one monster for a Level 6 card (rules inference); Searched card's value depends on Monarch Spell quality, not on this card's body; Conditional access makes accessibility moderate
- 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 deck sample only
