Beastly Mirror Ritual — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 43 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 42 · Deck: 44 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler
Why it scores here
The card's only text effect is to Ritual Summon "Fiend's Mirror" by tributing monsters with total Level 6 or more from the field or hand, so its value is entirely the ritual body it unlocks, which is not in the evidence. The 12 attached decks run it as a single main-deck copy across six archetypes, which confirms it is a real, practical piece rather than a forgotten card, but that inclusion does not raise its intrinsic power. No combo boards, guides, or usage statistics were supplied, so the score rests on text and deck placement alone and is capped by that gap.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Single copy in all 12 decks and no searcher in the evidence, so it is only live when already drawn alongside a Ritual target (observed in deck placement, inferred from text; tier: observed/inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | Text says it summons Fiend's Mirror, but the body's stats and effect are not supplied, and there are zero recorded combo appearances (inferred from text; tier: inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | A one-for-one Ritual Spell that spends itself and tributes to summon with no card advantage shown in the evidence (verified from text; tier: verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | The card has no opponent-facing negation, removal, or disruption in its text (verified from text; tier: verified). |
| Material Utility | 35 | Tribute requirement can come from the hand or field, which adds flexibility, but no material-conversion data is supplied (inferred from text; tier: inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 30 | A spell with no recovery route, so one negate or spell-removal effect ends it in the hand (inferred from text; tier: inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | Single-copy main-deck slot with no garnet or lock, but it needs a specific ritual target, which mildly restricts the deck (verified from deck evidence; tier: verified). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Starter / Combo enabler primary, no secondary role. Intrinsic ≈ 42, Deck ≈ 44, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: single-target ritual dependency (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck (decks present, combos absent, meta unknown)
Strengths
- Live in all 12 sampled decks as a single copy, so it is a practical, run-consistent piece.
- Tribute can come from the hand or the field, which widens the set of usable tribute sources.
- Cheap to run: one copy, no garnet, no self-lock.
Weaknesses
- Zero recorded combo appearances, so no observed evidence that it converts into a board.
- No interaction, no card advantage, and no recovery route.
- Dead without its Ritual target, which the evidence does not supply.
Counters / choke points
- Any negate or spell-removal effect in response to the activation ends the line.

Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Text: Ritual Summon "Fiend's Mirror"; tribute monsters from field or hand with total Level 6 or more.; No negation, removal, or disruption in the card text.; Decks: 12 of 12 run one main-deck copy; 6 archetypes; GameplayType 7 only.
- Observed: 12 of 12 decks include the card at one copy each, with zero side-deck copies.; Frequent partners: Maxx "C", S:P Little Knight, Mulcharmy Fuwalos, and several Maliss cards.
- Inferred: Usable only when a Ritual target is in hand or deck; the target is not in the evidence.; Recovery and resilience are weak because it is a spell with no recursion text.
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied the Ritual target "Fiend's Mirror" is not in the evidence, so its body and effect cannot be scored no usage statistics (StatisticsCard): archetype inclusion % inferred from the 12-deck sample only no banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited)
