Consecrated Light — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 50 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 52 · Deck: 49 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Floodgate/Control · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
The card's value is a symmetric DARK lock: neither player can Summon or attack with DARK monsters, and it protects its controller from DARK battle destruction and damage. That restriction is the only converting effect, and it hits the controller's own DARK monsters too, so it is a conditional floodgate rather than a clean interaction piece. There are no recorded boards, so nothing shows it building past a single body; the deck count is high but the top partners are generic staples, so frequency does not raise the score. The Level 1 Light body gives reasonable material value even when the effect is negated.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 50 | Deck inclusion is high (341 of the attached decks) but there is no searcher or starter evidence, and the 85% figure looks suspicious for a DARK-lock monster, so access is only moderately confirmed (observed, with a caveat). |
| Combo & Conversion | 20 | No combos were supplied and the text describes no board-building, so combo conversion is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | The text gives no card advantage, refuel, or search; it is a free body with a continuous restriction (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 55 | A continuous DARK restriction on both players and a battle-protection clause give partial, DARK-specific interaction that is hard to play around in DARK-heavy formats but irrelevant elsewhere (verified). |
| Material Utility | 60 | A Level 1 LIGHT Fairy is clean generic material and still converts when its effect is negated, though the 0 ATK/DEF body is weak on its own (verified, inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | A single field-based continuous effect is ended by one negate, and the text does not show a hand or GY function, so resilience is limited (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 50 | One generic Level 1 slot is cheap to run, but the restriction also locks the controller's own DARK monsters, which is a real deckbuilding cost (verified, inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Floodgate/Control + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 52, Deck ≈ 49, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: self-locking restriction (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Symmetric DARK floodgate with a battle-protection clause for its controller
- Level 1 LIGHT body is a clean generic material that still converts when its effect is negated
- Generic enough to appear across 86 distinct archetypes in the deck sample
Weaknesses
- No combo or starter evidence; combo conversion is text-only and low
- The restriction is DARK-specific and symmetric, so its value depends on the matchup
- 0 ATK/DEF body with no card advantage or refuel
- Deck inclusion (85%) is suspicious for this text and mostly driven by generic staples
Counters / choke points
- Any negate or effect-negation effect on the body
- Non-DARK decks, which the restriction does nothing against
Best use
Floodgate/Control against DARK decks, with a Level 1 material body. Decks: Lightsworn, Drytron, Machina, Synchron. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Text: neither player can Normal or Special Summon DARK monsters or declare an attack with a DARK monster; Text: cannot be destroyed by battle with a DARK monster, and no battle damage from that battle; Level 1 LIGHT Fairy effect monster with 0 ATK/DEF; Formats: TCG, OCG, MasterDuel; no banlist token, so 3 copies assumed
- Observed: 341 of 400 attached decks run it, average 1.73 copies, across 86 distinct archetypes; Top partners are generic staples (Black Rose Dragon, MST, Heavy Storm), which does not show synergy; Usage statistics: Elemental HERO 100% inclusion at 2 copies, a single archetype sample
- Inferred: Primary role is Floodgate/Control because the continuous DARK restriction is its only converting effect; Secondary role is Material body from the Level 1 LIGHT body; Works from the field only; hand activation is not stated in the text
- Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference No guides supplied No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) Deck inclusion (341 of 400, 85%) is unusually high for a DARK-lock monster; verify matched_reference=CardId before trusting deck signals Usage statistics cover one archetype (Elemental HERO) only Unclear whether the effect works from hand or only on the field
