If this card is Tributed or destroyed by a "Nephthys" card effect: You can activate this effect; during the next Standby Phase, destroy up to 3 "Nephthys" cards, except Ritual Monsters, 1 each from your hand, Deck, and field. You can only use each effect of "Conductor of Nephthys" once per turn.
Conductor of Nephthys — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 49 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 47 · Deck: 50 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender
Why it scores here
Conductor of Nephthys is an archetype-locked Ritual body. Its Ritual Summon effect puts another Nephthys Ritual monster into play from hand or Deck, so it extends a Nephthys board rather than generating one from nothing. The score is held down by the lack of any opponent interaction, the self-destruction clause that removes up to 3 of your own Nephthys cards, and the absence of combo data. Its 177-deck presence and strong partner co-occurrence confirm it is a real Nephthys staple, but that frequency is not counted as power.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 50 | Reaching it requires Rebirth of Nephthys or an equivalent Ritual route, and it appears in 177 sampled decks at about 2.08 copies each, so access is practical within Nephthys (verified text; deck count observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 60 | The Ritual Summon trigger converts the card into a second Nephthys Ritual body, but no recorded board confirms the conversion, so this rests on text alone (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | The on-Ritual Summon effect is a free body, while the delayed destruction costs up to 3 of your own non-Ritual Nephthys cards, leaving net economy near even or slightly negative (verified text; net effect inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | The card has no effect against the opponent; its only destruction hits your own cards, so this axis is near zero (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 45 | As a Level 2 WIND Spellcaster that triggers when Tributed, it has modest material value, but nothing in the evidence shows it used as material (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Its effects depend on being Ritual Summoned, and the delayed Standby effect is vulnerable to interruption, so resilience is limited (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | Near-zero garnet cost inside Nephthys decks with 2–3 copies common, but it is archetype-locked, so it is a costly slot outside that shell (observed deck distribution; inferred restriction). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Extender primary role only; no meaningful secondary role. Intrinsic ≈ 47, Deck ≈ 50, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Archetype-locked Ritual body (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Included in 177 sampled decks, with 48% of them in the Nephthys archetype
- Its Ritual Summon effect puts another Nephthys Ritual monster into play from hand or Deck, which adds a body
- Strong partner co-occurrence: Devotee of Nephthys 98%, Nephthys the Sacred Preserver 95%
- Repeated copies are common (2–3 per deck), so the card is consistently included
Weaknesses
- No interaction with the opponent
- The delayed effect destroys up to 3 of your own non-Ritual Nephthys cards
- Archetype-locked; the card's text only pays off inside Nephthys
- No combo or guide data to confirm its conversion
Counters / choke points
- Generic hand traps or board breakers that stop the Ritual Summon before the trigger resolves (inferred; no counter data was supplied)
Best use
Extender. Decks: Nephthys. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: Ritual Summon via Rebirth of Nephthys; on Ritual Summon, Special Summon a Nephthys Ritual monster from hand or Deck; on Tribute or Nephthys-effect destruction, destroy up to 3 own non-Ritual Nephthys cards in the next Standby Phase; each effect once per turn; 177 sampled decks run it; 2.08 copies on average, with 3 copies the most common count
- Observed: 85 of 177 decks (48%) are Nephthys; Fire King and Drytron decks account for about 25 and 24 more; Partner co-occurrence: Devotee of Nephthys 98.3%, Nephthys the Sacred Preserver 94.9%, Rebirth of Nephthys 71.2%; Gameplay split: 84.7% in gameplay type 7, 15.3% in type 4
- Inferred: The on-summon effect converts Rebirth into a second Nephthys Ritual body, extending the board; The Standby destruction costs up to 3 own non-Ritual Nephthys cards, so the net economy is near even or negative; The Fire King and Drytron decks run it as a Nephthys-ritual tech rather than for its own archetype
- 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 role of the card in the Fire King and Drytron decks is not shown
