You can send this card from your hand to the GY; add 1 "The Man with the Mark" from your Deck to your hand.

Anubis the Last Judge — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 50 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 51 · Deck: 53 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss/End-board · Secondary: Searcher/Tutor
Why it scores here
Anubis is a 3000-ATK Boss whose score comes from its conditional Special Summon, its hand-to-GY effect that adds The Man with the Mark, and its once-per-turn destruction effect, not from its ATK. The Special Summon needs three different-named Temple of the Kings and/or Trap cards in the GY, which caps accessibility and makes its route depend on the archetype. The 400-deck sample shows it is consistently played (about 99.8% of decks run The Man with the Mark alongside it), but that frequency confirms practical access and not intrinsic strength. The 3000 ATK earns no points on its own.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Can be sent from hand to the GY to search, but the Special Summon needs three different-named Temple of the Kings/Trap cards in the GY (text; deck partner stats confirm it is played in practice) (verified). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | Text shows a single body that searches and can destroy one opponent card, but no combo data was supplied, so conversion is text-only (inference). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | The hand-to-GY effect turns a dead hand card into a search, a roughly even exchange, and the Special Summon sends 2 GY cards to the bottom of the Deck as a cost (text) (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 45 | Destroys one opponent card when a Spell/Trap you control is destroyed by a card effect; conditional and not a flexible negation (text) (verified). |
| Material Utility | 40 | Level 10 EARTH Fiend is a heavy material body, but it cannot be Normal Summoned/Set and needs the GY condition, so usable but awkward (text plus inference) (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Two once-per-turn effects with a GY-dependent Special Summon; the hand-to-GY effect works from hand, but no recorded data shows how it survives interaction (inference) (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 50 | Run at about 2.1 copies per deck and needs archetype support to summon, so it is a moderate slot cost with a mild restriction (deck data) (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Boss/End-board + 0.3 Searcher/Tutor. Intrinsic ≈ 51, Deck ≈ 53, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Special Summon restriction (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck, then modifiers
Strengths
- Consistently run in 400 of 400 sampled decks, with The Man with the Mark at 99.8% co-occurrence (observed)
- Hand-to-GY effect converts a dead hand card into a search (verified)
- Level 10 EARTH Fiend body with 3000 ATK once summoned (verified)
Weaknesses
- Special Summon needs three different-named GY cards from the Temple of the Kings archetype or Traps (verified)
- Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set, so it depends on GY setup (verified)
- Destruction effect only triggers on your own Spell/Trap destruction by card effect (verified)
Counters / choke points
- Special Summon negation or GY disruption, which would stop the summon condition (inference)
- Destruction of the Spell/Trap that triggers its effect (inference)
Best use
Boss/End-board monster with a hand-to-GY searcher for The Man with the Mark. Decks: Temple of the Kings, Apophis, Odion. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Special Summon requires three different-named Temple of the Kings and/or Trap cards in the GY, placing 2 on the bottom of the Deck (card text); Can be sent from hand to the GY to add The Man with the Mark (card text); Destroys one opponent card when a Spell/Trap you control is destroyed by a card effect (card text); Run in 400 of 400 sampled decks at about 2.1 copies average (deck data)
- Observed: The Man with the Mark co-occurs in 399 of 400 decks (deck data); Typical copies are 3 in Apophis and Temple of the Kings and 2 in Odion (usage statistics)
- Inferred: Boss/End-board primary role with a Searcher secondary role from text; Access is archetype-bound despite broad deck inclusion across 36 archetypes
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no meta sample supplied, so meta power is null deck data shows 400 of 400 decks running it, which may reflect sample selection rather than general play rates
