Boss Rush — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 41 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium

Why it scores here
Boss Rush converts a B.E.S. or Big Core destruction into one deck Special Summon at the End Phase, so its value is a conditional extra body inside one archetype, not a standalone engine. Its 69-deck footprint is mostly B.E.S. (about 70% across three B.E.S. archetype IDs), and the 80% inclusion rate is consistency, not intrinsic strength, so it earned no points for that. The card has no opponent interaction, cannot be material, and its Normal Summon/Set lock is a real self-restriction, which pulls the score down. Combo evidence is absent, so combo conversion rests on text alone and is capped accordingly.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Needs to be in hand, and no searcher or combo evidence supports reliable access; the 1.83 average copies per deck suggests it is not guaranteed to be drawn (observed deck counts, inferred route). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | The effect yields one deck Special Summon per qualifying destruction at End Phase, with no one-card-to-full-board path shown; combo evidence is empty, so this is text-only inference. |
| Resource Economy | 55 | Turning a lost B.E.S. monster into a deck Special Summon is a net body replacement with mild advantage, but only at End Phase and only on destruction (verified text, inferred value). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card has no negation, removal, or hand-trap function against the opponent (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 0 | A Spell card cannot be used as material, so this axis scores zero (verified card type). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 30 | As a Continuous Spell it can be destroyed or negated, and it only works if a B.E.S. destruction happens that turn; no recovery route is shown (verified text, inferred risk). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 35 | One to three copies in a single-archetype shell is cheap, but the Normal Summon/Set lock restricts the deck's own options; the restriction itself is applied as a modifier, not counted again here (observed copies, verified text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 38, Deck ≈ 43, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: self-locking restriction (-4). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck (Deck already includes the -4 self-lock modifier; pre-modifier Deck ~47)
Strengths
- Turns a B.E.S. or Big Core destruction into a deck Special Summon at End Phase, adding a body from the Deck.
- Strong, consistent footprint in B.E.S.: top partners B.E.F. Zelos (89.9%) and B.E.S. Big Core MK-3 (88.4%) co-occur in most decks.
- Usage statistics show 80% inclusion in one B.E.S. gameplay type, so it is a stable, expected piece of that shell.
Weaknesses
- Locked to B.E.S. and Big Core; outside that shell it has no text-based function.
- Self-imposed Normal Summon/Set restriction limits the deck's own options.
- Delayed End Phase timing and a destruction condition make it slow and conditional.
- No opponent interaction and no material value.
Counters / choke points
- Destruction or negation of the Continuous Spell itself before its End Phase trigger (inferred from card type and text).
Best use
Extender / recursion engine for B.E.S. destruction lines. Decks: B.E.S. (archetype 1449), B.E.S. (archetype 2236), B.E.S. (archetype 2269). Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: cannot Normal Summon or Set; End Phase Special Summon of 1 B.E.S. or Big Core from Deck after a B.E.S. or Big Core is destroyed and sent to the GY that turn.; Card type is Spell Card, so it cannot be material.
- Observed: 69 attached decks; about 70% are B.E.S. archetype decks across IDs 1449, 2236, 2269.; Top partners: B.E.F. Zelos 89.9%, B.E.S. Big Core MK-3 88.4%.; Usage statistics: inclusion 80% (gameplay 3) and 50% (gameplay 4), typical copies 2.
- Inferred: Functions as an extender that replaces a destroyed B.E.S. body with a Deck summon.; Destruction-based timing makes its value conditional and slow.
- Data gaps: No combo evidence: combo conversion is text-only inference. No searcher or access-route evidence for the card. No banlist token; copy limit assumed 3. No rulings supplied to confirm the destruction and End Phase timing interactions.
