Chain Summoning — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 45 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 42 · Deck: 47 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Combo enabler
Why it scores here
Chain Summoning converts a chain into extra Normal Summons (up to 3 instead of 1), which is useful for Trickstar-style board building, but it only activates at Chain Link 3 or higher, so it is hard to reach reliably. Its 137-deck presence and tight Trickstar co-occurrence confirm that it is a real, practical piece of the deck, not a forgotten pick. The high deck count does not earn the score by itself; the score comes from the conditional activation, the lack of combo data, and the absence of any interaction or material value.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Live in most decks (137 decks, avg 1.99 copies), but its Chain Link 3 activation condition limits when it is actually usable; no starter or searched data is supplied (observed deck count, inferred activation limit). |
| Combo & Conversion | 50 | Text shows it turns one Normal Summon into up to three, which builds a fuller board, but there are no recorded combo boards to confirm the conversion (inferred from text). |
| Resource Economy | 35 | It is a one-for-one spell with no draw, search or GY refuel, so it adds board presence rather than card advantage (verified from card text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | No negation, removal or hand-trap reach; it only affects Normal Summons (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 0 | A Spell card cannot be used as material, so the body contributes nothing here (verified from card type). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 30 | Its chain-link requirement is fragile, and no counter or interaction data is supplied to show how it survives responses (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | A single slot with no garnet or lock restriction, run at 1 to 3 copies across 137 decks, so it is cheap to include (observed from deck distribution). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Combo enabler. Intrinsic ≈ 42, Deck ≈ 47, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Runs in 137 recent decks, mostly Trickstar, so its role is confirmed in practice
- Turns one Normal Summon into up to three, which speeds up board building
- Single slot and easy to include at 1 to 3 copies
Weaknesses
- Activation needs Chain Link 3 or higher, which is a real restriction
- Spell card with no card advantage, interaction or material value
- No combo boards in the evidence to show how far it converts
Best use
Extender. Decks: Trickstar. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Spell Card, Quick-Play; activates only at Chain Link 3 or higher; Allows up to 3 Normal Summons/Sets this turn instead of 1; Cannot be activated if a same-name card or its effect is already activated in that chain; Appears in 137 decks; 56 run 1 copy, 26 run 2, 55 run 3
- Observed: Strong co-occurrence with Trickstar partners (Lycoris 62.8%, Light Stage 61.3%); Concentrated in the Trickstar family across the top archetype list; Guide mentions Trickstar Core section co-listing the card
- Inferred: Chain Link 3 gating makes it hard to use reliably in the opening hand; Board-building value depends on having Normal Summonable monsters available
- Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard); inclusion % inferred from deck sample only no counter or interaction data; resilience is inferred from text
