Awakening of Nephthys — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 47 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 44 · Deck: 50 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Awakening of Nephthys reliably converts into a temporary Nephthys body and a +300 ATK buff for the Nephthys monsters on board, and it is present in all 15 sampled decks. The revived monster is destroyed in the End Phase, so the card is a tempo and board effect rather than a source of lasting value, and its once-per-turn revival also depends on the trap being face-up and destroyed by a card effect, which the evidence does not show how the deck reliably achieves. The card's stats and archetype text earn no points by themselves; the score reflects deck fit and the revival route, and the absence of combo evidence keeps the confidence at Medium.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Set and face-up in the Spell & Trap Zone, with 2.07 average copies across 15 decks and 100% co-occurrence with core Nephthys partners, but no searcher route appears in the evidence (observed + inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | Text gives a one-card Nephthys revival and a buff, but no recorded boards show what it builds into and its body is removed at End Phase (inferred; combo data has 0 appearances). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | Revives one Nephthys from hand, Deck, or GY each turn with no card advantage, since the revived monster is destroyed at the End Phase (verified from text; inferred value). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | No opponent interaction, negation, or removal; it only buffs and revives allied monsters (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 25 | The revived body is usable as material only during the turn it is summoned, and no combo evidence shows it being used that way (inferred; material role 0). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 30 | A face-up trap whose revival needs a card-effect destruction; it is exposed to backrow removal and only works once per turn (inferred from text; no interaction data). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | Three copies or fewer with no garnet or lock restriction, and it fits the Nephthys shell that already runs it in 12 of 15 decks (observed from deck copies distribution). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 44, Deck ≈ 50, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Present in 15 of 15 sampled decks at a 2.07 average copy count, with 100% co-occurrence with core Nephthys partners
- Revives a Nephthys monster from hand, Deck, or GY, providing a reusable body each turn
- Gives a +300 ATK buff to all face-up Nephthys monsters, which supports the attacking board
Weaknesses
- The revived monster is destroyed at the End Phase, so the card gives no lasting card advantage
- Its revival requires the card to be face-up and destroyed by a card effect, and the evidence does not show how the deck achieves this reliably
- No combo evidence, and it is archetype-locked to Nephthys with no interaction or negation
Counters / choke points
- Backrow removal or destruction of the face-up trap, which removes its revival and buff
- Opponent interaction on the Nephthys monsters it revives, since the revival is a single-body play
Best use
Extender / Recursion for the Nephthys shell. Decks: Nephthys. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: +300 ATK to face-up Nephthys monsters, and a once-per-turn Special Summon of 1 Nephthys from hand, Deck, or GY when destroyed by card effect, destroyed in the End Phase; Present in 15 of 15 sampled decks; 2.07 average copies; 100% co-occurrence with Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys, Cerulean Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys, Chronicler of Nephthys, and Rebirth of Nephthys
- Observed: Copies distribution: 6 decks at 1 copy, 2 at 2 copies, 7 at 3 copies; 12 of 15 decks are Nephthys archetype (80%)
- Inferred: Revived monster gives temporary value only, since it is destroyed at the End Phase; Revival depends on the trap being destroyed by card effect, which the evidence does not show how decks achieve; Score reflects deck fit rather than standalone power, because no combo or guide evidence exists
- 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 no searcher or floodgate route data for the card's own destruction condition top-card data not supplied; accessibility is not confirmed beyond deck sample
