"Queen Azamina" + 1 Fusion or Synchro Monster Must first be either Fusion Summoned, or Special Summoned (from your Extra Deck) by Tributing 1 "Saint Azamina" you control and 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. Cannot be destroyed by card effects. Each time your opponent activates a card or effect, all monsters they control lose 500 ATK when it resolves. Your opponent cannot activate the effects of monsters with 0 ATK.
Azamina — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 59 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 59 · Deck: 59 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss/End-board · Secondary: Floodgate/Control
Why it scores here
Azamina's power comes from a 4000-ATK body that is hard to remove by card effects and that taxes the opponent every time they activate a card or effect (-500 ATK to all their monsters, and their 0-ATK monsters cannot activate effects). Its 400/400 deck presence and 98% co-occurrence with Saint Azamina confirm it is a real, practical piece, not a forgotten pick. The 4000 ATK and the high ATK/DEF did not earn points by themselves: the score rests on the floodgate-style effect and on the Saint Azamina dependency, which limits how often it lands. With no combo evidence, the board-conversion and starter claims stay at inference level and keep the score in the mid-50s to low-60s.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 62 | Present in all 400 sampled decks at 1.13 average copies, and its tribute condition is served by Saint Azamina, which appears in 98% of those decks; the Extra Deck summon itself is not backed by any starter or searched-rate data (observed deck frequency, inferred route). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | Its value is a continuous board effect plus a 4000-ATK body, but there are zero recorded combo boards, so the conversion from a realistic start is text-only inference. |
| Resource Economy | 30 | The tribute cost (own Saint Azamina plus one opposing monster) is roughly card-neutral and there is no refuel or recursion in the text, so card advantage stays low (inference from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 70 | The -500 ATK per opponent activation and the lock on 0-ATK monster effects are strong, flexible pressure that is hard to play around for decks built on monster effects (verified from card text, scored as strong but soft because it does not remove boards). |
| Material Utility | 25 | As a Fusion-type monster it is not a generic material body, and no combo or material stat exists to show it being used as material (inference from text, no observed evidence). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 60 | It cannot be destroyed by card effects, which resists common removal, but a negation of its effect strips both that protection and the ATK drain; the rulings for negation timing are unknown (verified text, inferred resilience). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 58 | One copy in most decks, an Extra Deck slot, and a dependency on Saint Azamina make it a modest restriction, though 52 decks run two copies and the assumed copy limit is unlimited (observed deck counts plus inference). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Boss/End-board + 0.3 Floodgate/Control. Intrinsic ≈ 59, Deck ≈ 59, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Extra Deck and tribute dependency (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Present in all 400 sampled decks, with Saint Azamina in 98% of them
- Cannot be destroyed by card effects, which resists common removal
- Opponent's 0-ATK monsters cannot activate effects, a strong soft lock on monster-effect decks
- Each opponent activation drains 500 ATK from all their monsters, a continuous floodgate-style effect
- Used across several archetype homes (Azamina, Diabellstar, White Forest, Sinful Spoils, Toy)
Weaknesses
- Requires Saint Azamina on the field and an opposing monster to tribute
- No recorded combo boards, so its board conversion cannot be confirmed from data
- The ATK drain does not remove boards and spares high-ATK monsters
- Its effects are lost to negation, which removes both the immunity and the drain
- Not in the cross-format top-card ranking
Counters / choke points
- Negation of Azamina's effect, which removes the immunity and the ATK drain (inference from text)
- Removal of Saint Azamina before the summon, since the tribute condition then fails (inference from text)
- Decks that rely on few activations, since the drain then has little to act on (inference from text)
Best use
Boss/End-board. Decks: Azamina, Diabellstar, White Forest. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: Fusion or Special Summon condition, tribute of Saint Azamina plus an opposing face-up monster; Card text: cannot be destroyed by card effects; Card text: -500 ATK to opponent monsters per opponent activation; Card text: opponent cannot activate effects of 0-ATK monsters; Deck stat: 400 of 400 decks run it, Saint Azamina in 98%
- Observed: Usage statistics: 100% inclusion in 5 of 6 archetype homes, 66.7% in the other; Guides name it as a staple in the CORE and Staple sections
- Inferred: Boss/End-board role is the best fit given the strong deck presence and the card's ATK and immunity; Floodgate/Control secondary role from the continuous activation drain; Effect negation removes both the immunity and the drain; Resilience to negation rests on the rulings, which are not in the evidence
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) legal_copies is empty for all formats no rulings or negation timing evidence for the continuous effect no meta sample, so meta_power is null
