Aussa the Earth Channeler — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 58 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 57 · Deck: 58 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor · Secondary: Starter / Combo enabler
Why it scores here
Aussa converts a hand-activated discard into a one-for-one search of an EARTH monster up to 1850 ATK, plus a hand revive when an EARTH monster is destroyed by battle, so it is a practical searcher with a second body-recovery effect. It is live from hand and runs as a single copy in 97% of the sample decks, which supports its accessibility and deckbuilding scores. ATK and rarity earned nothing here: the score is held down by the lack of recorded combo boards, the net −1 hand cost, and the lack of any negation or removal.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 78 | Activatable from hand by discarding itself plus an EARTH monster, and present in 400 of 400 sampled decks (observed; no combo starter data supports it). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | Adds one EARTH monster from Deck with no combo boards recorded (total combos 0), so the conversion is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | Discards two cards to fetch one monster, leaving a net −1 in hand with no refuel or repeated advantage (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | No negation, removal or opponent-facing restriction; its only lock applies to the controller's own non-EARTH monster effects (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 40 | A Level 5 EARTH Spellcaster body that can be summoned from hand after an EARTH monster is destroyed in battle, but it is not a material-conversion piece (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | Two separate once-per-turn effects give some recovery across turns, but a single negate from hand or field ends the search line (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | One copy in most decks (avg 1.13), with no garnet or self-lock beyond the EARTH-target restriction (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher/Tutor + 0.3 Starter/Combo enabler. Intrinsic ≈ 57, Deck ≈ 58, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Hand-activated searcher that fetches an EARTH monster up to 1850 ATK from Deck
- Second effect gives a hand Special Summon after an EARTH monster is destroyed by battle
- Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks across 43 archetypes, so it has a wide home base
Weaknesses
- Net −1 card in hand; the search is a one-for-one exchange with no refuel
- No negation or removal of its own
- The search target must be EARTH and at most 1850 ATK, which limits the cards it can fetch
- The self-lock on non-EARTH monster effects restricts the rest of the turn
Counters / choke points
- Hand traps and negates that stop the activation during the hand discard cost
- Interruption of the search target before it reaches the hand
Best use
