- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Removal
Why it scores here
Bujinki Ahashima's 1500 ATK earns nothing. Its score comes from its first effect, which turns a Link Summon into a two-body negated pair from hand and GY that becomes one Xyz Monster, and from its once-per-turn S/T destruction when a pointed-at Xyz detaches material. It cannot be used as Link material, so its body is weak in that role. The 400-deck sample lists it in every deck, but the sample appears to be built around this card, so that inclusion is not evidence of strength; no combo boards were supplied, so conversion is text-based only.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 50 | Link-2 costs little to Link Summon and the deck sample shows it in several archetype homes, but no combo evidence confirms a searcher route (inference from text and deck partners; medium confidence). |
| Combo & Conversion | 60 | The first effect converts a Link Summon into a negated two-monster Xyz Summon, a real one-card-to-board conversion from text (verified), but no combo data boards confirm the payoff (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | It spends a hand card and a GY card as Xyz material and gives no refuel or draw, so card economy is roughly even (verified text, inferred balance). |
| Effect & Interaction | 45 | The S/T destruction needs a pointed Xyz that detaches material, so it is conditional, once per turn, and soft interaction (verified text, inferred strength). |
| Material Utility | 15 | Explicitly cannot be used as Link material, so it provides almost no material value (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Its effects are once per turn and the summon-trigger needs a specific Link Summon setup, so it has little redundancy (verified text, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | A one-copy Link-2 with no garnet or lock restriction, cheap to run in many shells (observed from copies per deck, inferred cost). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter/Combo enabler + 0.3 Removal. Intrinsic ≈ 53, Deck ≈ 53, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Cheap Link-2 whose on-summon effect converts into a negated Xyz Summon
- Generic across many archetype homes in the deck sample
- Once-per-turn S/T destruction adds conditional removal
- One copy per deck, no garnet or lock cost
Weaknesses
- Cannot be used as Link material
- The Xyz conversion needs two same-level monsters from hand and GY, which may not be available
- The S/T removal needs a pointed Xyz that detaches material
- No combo evidence to confirm the payoff
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the summon trigger stops the Xyz conversion
- Effect negation or banish of the Link monster before it resolves
Best use
Link-2 starter that converts a Link Summon into an Xyz Summon, with conditional S/T removal. Decks: Galaxy Photon, Spright, Frog, Nimble. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Link-2 LIGHT Beast-Warrior, Link arrows Top and Bottom-Right, ATK 1500 (card); Cannot be used as Link Material (card text); First effect: on Link Summon, Special Summon 2 same-level monsters (1 from hand, 1 from GY) with negation, then Xyz Summon 1 Xyz using those 2 (card text, once per turn); Second effect: when a pointed-at Xyz detaches material to activate, destroy 1 opponent S/T (card text, once per turn); 1 copy in 399 of 400 sample decks (deck data)
- Observed: Appears in 400 of 400 sampled decks, 83.2% in gameplay type 7 (deck data); Top partners: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 86.8%, Called by the Grave 68.2%, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS 62%, Infinite Impermanence 59.5% (deck data); 106 distinct archetypes in the sample (deck data)
- Inferred: The first effect is a real one-card-to-board conversion, but the Xyz target and the negated monsters' availability vary by hand; The 400/400 inclusion reflects how the sample was built (matched_reference CardId), not a measured staple rate; Galaxy Photon and Spright inclusion comes from partner and archetype overlap, not from this card alone; Link-2 is cheap to add to many shells, so deckbuilding cost is low
- Data gaps: No combos supplied (total combos 0): combo conversion and starter/material shares are text-only inference decks running it in the Main Deck is 400 of 400 with 1 copy in 399: the sample appears selected by containing this card, so inclusion overstates real play No banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) No usage statistics (StatisticsCard): archetype inclusion is inferred from the deck sample only No top-card ranking: popularity cannot be checked against play at scale No meta sample: meta power is null
