Beast Magic Attack — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 41 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 42 · Deck: 41 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Beast Magic Attack is a Quick-Play that converts Spell Counters already on the field into a Pendulum body from the Extra Deck (effect 4 and 6) or a bounce of a Mythical Beast Pendulum to hand (effect 2). Its power depends on having counters to spend, and the evidence has no combo data to show how often that happens, so the score stays in the middle. The 2400-range card text does not earn points on its own, and the modest score reflects a conditional extender tied to one archetype, not a generic strong card. Deck presence is real (5 of 400 sampled decks, almost all Mythical Beast or Endymion) but it confirms accessibility, not strength.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Quick-Play that needs Spell Counters already on the field and no searcher is listed; it is live only in Mythical Beast-style boards (text + decks_evidence, 5 decks) (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | Effect 4 and 6 summon a Pendulum from the Extra Deck for 2 to 6 counters, a real board step, but there are no combos_evidence rows to confirm the conversion rate (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | Spends counters with no draw, search or GY refuel; effect 4 places 2 counters back, which only partly recovers the cost (verified text, inferred net value). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No negation, removal or hand-trap reach; the card only summons and returns (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 15 | A Spell card, so it provides no material body; the Pendulum it summons is a separate card (verified text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | Once per turn, and the counter cost is removed by any Spell Counter removal on the field, so it is fragile to interaction (verified text, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Runs 1 to 3 copies in 5 decks with no garnet or lock, and its archetype homes are clear (observed: copies_per_deck avg 1.8). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Extender primary role only; no secondary blend applied. Intrinsic ≈ 42, Deck ≈ 41, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Extra Deck to field access for Pendulum bodies once Spell Counters are on the field
- Effect 2 returns a Mythical Beast Pendulum to hand, giving a recovery route
- Low deckbuilding cost with 1 to 3 copies per deck
Weaknesses
- Needs Spell Counters already on the field; the evidence gives no source for them
- Once per turn, and no searcher or draw
- No interaction of its own, and its value stays in one archetype
Counters / choke points
- Removing Spell Counters from the field, which is the cost and the enabler
- Any opponent Spell Counter removal, which turns the card off
Best use
Extender for Pendulum summons in counter-based Spell lines. Decks: Mythical Beast, Endymion. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Quick-Play Spell with three counter-cost modes, each limited to 1 per turn (card text); Mythical Beast and Endymion are the archetype homes in the 5 sampled decks (decks_evidence); Runs 1 to 3 copies per deck, average 1.8 (decks_evidence)
- Observed: Appears in 5 of 5 sampled decks, with the top partners co-occurring in all 5 (decks_evidence)
- Inferred: The counter cost makes accessibility depend on other cards that place Spell Counters; Effect 4 places 2 counters back, so its net resource value is roughly neutral; Narrow archetype use caps generic utility at about 45
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion and starter/searched rates are text-only inference no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) for archetype inclusion beyond the 5-deck sample no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no source of Spell Counters listed in the evidence, so accessibility is inferred
