Ayers Rock Sunrise — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 54 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 55 · Deck: 54 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Recovery/Recursion · Secondary: Board breaker
Why it scores here
Ayers Rock Sunrise is a Spell that turns one Beast-Type monster in your Graveyard into a Special Summon, a 1-for-1 recursion with a free body. Its secondary effect is a soft ATK reduction on the opponent's face-up monsters, scaled by the Beast, Plant and Winged Beast count in your Graveyard, so it is not a negation or a removal. The card is played in 121 recent decks across 37 archetypes, but that frequency confirms accessibility, not strength, and there are no combo records to show what it converts into in practice. The score therefore rests on the text and the deck-level breadth rather than on any measured board outcome.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | Playable in 121 recent decks at about 2.1 copies each across 37 archetypes, but it needs a Beast-Type monster already in the Graveyard to do anything (verified deck counts; text requirement; no combo starter data). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | Summons one Beast from the Graveyard and applies an ATK debuff; no recorded boards show what it builds toward (inferred from text, no combo evidence). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | Spends itself to bring back one monster for free, so the net is a single body with no card loss and no advantage gained (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 40 | The ATK reduction hits every face-up opposing monster and is strong only when the Graveyard holds many matching types; it is not negation or removal (verified text, inferred strength). |
| Material Utility | 15 | A Spell body that never sits on the field, so its material value is zero; any value comes only from the monster it revives (verified frame type). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Once per turn, and it can be answered by any spell or trap negation before resolution; no zone or multi-turn redundancy (verified text, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Runs at 1 to 3 copies with no garnet or lock restriction, though the Beast requirement limits when it is live (verified copy distribution, inferred restriction). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Recovery/Recursion + 0.3 Board breaker. Intrinsic ≈ 55, Deck ≈ 54, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Cheap, consistent Graveyard revival that adds a body for one card
- Played in many decks across many archetypes, so it is practical and not a niche pick
- The ATK debuff hits every face-up opposing monster at once
Weaknesses
- Needs a Beast-Type monster in the Graveyard before it does anything
- The ATK reduction is soft and depends on Graveyard count, so it does little early
- Once per turn and negatable like any Spell
Counters / choke points
- Spell or trap negation in response to activation
- Graveyard hate that removes the Beast it needs as a target
Best use
Graveyard revival spell that adds a body and a soft ATK reduction. Decks: Melffy, Constellar, Fabled. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: Special Summon one Beast-Type from the Graveyard and apply a conditional ATK reduction, once per turn; Appears in 121 recent decks across 37 archetypes at about 2.1 copies each; Top partners are Melffy cards
- Observed: Mostly played in gameplay type 7 (57% of decks)
- Inferred: Recovery/Recursion is the primary role; Board breaker is secondary because of the ATK reduction; Soft interaction only, since the ATK debuff is not negation or removal; Deck synergy is moderate without combo records
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited)
