Backup Supervisor — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 55 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 54 · Deck: 56 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Recovery/Recursion · Secondary: Extender
Why it scores here
Backup Supervisor scores on recursion rather than stats: when destroyed by battle or by an opponent's card effect, it returns Backup Secretary from hand, Deck or GY, so the Link-2 body is a re-usable engine piece. Its battle-triggered Cyberse Special Summon from hand adds a body only when it attacks through a linked monster, which keeps conversion moderate. The 1200 ATK and Link-2 body earn nothing, and the 56-deck, 25-archetype spread confirms it is a practical, generic-enough role rather than a power driver. No combo data was supplied, so the conversion and synergy numbers rest on text and deck partners.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Summoned via Link Summon using Backup Secretary as material and present in 56/56 sampled decks, but no combo starter/searched data was supplied to confirm live access (deck evidence, inferred route from text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | Text gives one hand Special Summon on battle plus Backup Secretary recursion, but no recorded combo boards confirm the conversion (text-only inference). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | On destruction it returns Backup Secretary, a repeatable recovery of a body with no card cost stated, so it is roughly even to slightly positive (text, inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | No negation, removal or hand-trap reach in the text, so interaction is near zero (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 40 | Light Cyberse Link-2 body with Right and Bottom arrows, usable as Link material; blanking does not remove the body (verified from card frame, inferred usefulness). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 65 | Destruction by battle or by opponent effect still returns Backup Secretary, so the line survives the common removal; each effect is once per turn (verified from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 85 | Typically 1 copy per deck (53 of 56 decks), no garnet or lock wording, and 25 archetypes show it is easy to slot (deck evidence, observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Recovery/Recursion + 0.3 Extender. Intrinsic ≈ 54, Deck ≈ 56, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Recovers Backup Secretary on destruction by battle or by opponent effect
- Cheap single-copy slot with no garnet or lock wording
- Appears in 56 sampled decks across 25 archetypes
Weaknesses
- Requires Backup Secretary as Link material, so access depends on a second card
- No negation or removal effect
- Battle-triggered summon needs a linked monster to attack
Counters / choke points
- No counter evidence supplied; interaction that removes Backup Secretary from the line would stop the recursion (inferred)
Best use
Recovery/Recursion Link-2 that recycles Backup Secretary and keeps a Cyberse body on board. Decks: Adamancipator, Maliss, Evil Twin, Greed, Eldlich, Cyberse, Labrynth. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Link-2 Light Cyberse with Right and Bottom arrows, ATK 1200; Recovery effect returns Backup Secretary when destroyed by battle or opponent effect; Each effect is once per turn; Appears in 56/56 sampled decks; 53 run 1 copy
- Observed: 25 distinct archetypes in deck sample; Backup Secretary is a co-deck partner in 24 of 56 decks (42.9%)
- Inferred: Live access depends on Backup Secretary as Link material; Generic-enough utility, but tied to Backup Secretary
- 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
