2 monsters, except Tokens This card gains these effects based on the number of monsters co-linked to this card. ● 1+: When a monster co-linked to this card battles your opponent's monster and inflicts battle damage to them: You can gain that much LP. ● 2: Once per turn (Quick Effect): You can target 2 face-up monsters you control; until the end of this turn, halve the ATK of 1 monster, and if you do, add that lost ATK to the other monster.
Binary Sorceress — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 58 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 57 · Deck: 58 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body · Secondary: Extender
Why it scores here
Binary Sorceress is a 1600-ATK Link-2 whose value is as a Link body and an in-combat ATK/LP tool, not as a one-card engine: it has no search, no negation and no card advantage in its text. It reaches a real but modest role in 149 recorded decks across 46 archetypes, usually at one copy, with strong co-occurrence with Ash Blossom, Accesscode Talker and Rescue-ACE pieces. The 1600 ATK earns no points on its own, and the once-per-turn ATK transfer only adds a moderate, situational boost; the score comes mostly from being a clean, generic Link-2 material that is cheap to run.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Extra Deck Link-2 that needs Link fodder to summon, but it appears in 149 recent decks at about one copy each with no garnets (verified card text; observed deck inclusion). (observed) |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | Its ATK-transfer effect is a fair one-sided boost once two monsters are co-linked, but no board data exists to show what it converts into (verified text; inference). (inferred) |
| Resource Economy | 25 | Only lifegain on battle damage and no draw, search, recursion or card advantage in its text (verified text). (verified) |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | Offers no negation, removal or hand trap; its ATK halving is a manipulation effect, not disruption (verified text). (verified) |
| Material Utility | 55 | Link-2 Cyberse with Left and Right arrows is a generic material that fits many Link-3+ summons, though the evidence has no combo-level material counts (verified text; inference). (inferred) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | A face-up Link monster that must survive battle and needs two co-linked monsters for its best effect; no recovery or multi-zone redundancy is shown (verified text; inference). (inferred) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 85 | Single-copy staple with 1.07 average copies per deck, no garnet and no lock, so it is easy to slot in (observed deck data). (observed) |
Calculation
Weight profile: Primary role Material body / Normal, no secondary blend applied; secondary Extender noted for context only. Intrinsic ≈ 57, Deck ≈ 58, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Generic Link-2 material with a clean Cyberse/EARTH profile that fits many Link summons
- Single-copy, no-garnet inclusion in 149 recent decks across 46 archetypes
- Once-per-turn ATK transfer gives a flexible in-combat boost when two monsters are co-linked
Weaknesses
- Needs Link fodder to be summoned, so it is not live in hand
- No search, negation, removal or card advantage in its own text
- Dependent on being co-linked with a second monster for its strongest effect
Counters / choke points
- Monster-targeting or ATK-manipulation responses that break the once-per-turn halving window
- Standard Link-summon disruption, since the card is a Link body rather than an engine
Best use
Link-2 material and ATK-swing body in Link-based decks. Decks: Rescue-ACE, Kashtira, Book Of, Cynet, SPYRAL. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Link-2 Cyberse EARTH, 1600 ATK, Left and Right arrows; Effect 1+ gives lifegain on battle damage dealt by a co-linked monster; Effect 2 is a once-per-turn quick effect that halves one monster's ATK and transfers it to another
- Observed: Appears in 149 of the attached decks, average 1.07 copies, 46 distinct archetypes; Top partners include Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (77.9%) and Accesscode Talker (77.2%)
- Inferred: Acts as a generic Link-2 material given its arrows and race; Its ATK-transfer effect is a moderate boost rather than a board-building engine
- 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
