Contract with the Void — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 41 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 39 · Deck: 42 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Recovery / Recursion · Secondary: Utility
Why it scores here
Contract with the Void converts a full hand into a single Special Summon of an Infernity monster or a Level 8 DARK Dragon Synchro from the Graveyard, but only when the hand holds at least 3 other cards. It is a spell with no body and no opponent interaction, so it earns almost nothing on the material or interaction axes. Its hand-dump cost and the conflict with the Infernity hand-0 plan described in the guide drag resource economy and accessibility down; the 68-deck spread across 20 archetypes confirms it is a practical, portable pick rather than a strong card by itself.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Live only when the hand holds 3+ other cards, and the guide says Infernity wants an empty hand, so the condition is often unmet; 68 of 68 sampled decks run it, with Into the Void as the top partner at 72% (observed, inferred for the hand-size condition). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | The text gives one Graveyard revive of a specific monster class after the hand dump, but no recorded combos exist to show what that revive builds (inferred from text; combos_evidence is empty). |
| Resource Economy | 25 | Discarding the entire hand is a large card disadvantage for a single revive, with no searches or refuel in the text (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No negation, removal, or hand-trap effect is present in the text (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 5 | It is a Spell Card and cannot be used as material, so the score reflects only the absence of a body (verified from card type). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | As a spell in hand it is fully dependent on the hand-size condition, and a single spell negation ends it; the spread across several archetypes gives some redundancy (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Runs mostly as a single copy (48 of 68 decks) with no garnet, lock, or brick text, so it is cheap to include (observed from decks_evidence and text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Recovery/Recursion (primary) + 0.3 Utility (secondary). Intrinsic ≈ 39, Deck ≈ 42, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Self-restricting hand condition (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Revives an Infernity monster or a Level 8 DARK Dragon Synchro from the Graveyard after a hand dump
- Appears in 68 of 68 sampled decks across 20 archetypes, so it has a practical home in several decks
Weaknesses
- Requires 3 or more other cards in hand, which conflicts with the Infernity hand-0 plan
- Discarding the entire hand is a heavy card disadvantage for one Special Summon
- No body, no interaction, and a single spell negation ends it
Counters / choke points
- Spell negation or hand-size disruption that stops the hand-size condition from being met
Best use
Conditional Graveyard revive after a hand dump, mainly in Infernity lists that need a late-game summon. Decks: Infernity, Exodia, Greed. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Spell Card with no body (card type); Text: discard entire hand if 3+ other cards in hand, then Special Summon 1 Infernity monster or Level 8 DARK Dragon Synchro from GY; Appears in 68 of 68 sampled decks, 20 distinct archetypes
- Observed: Copies per deck: 48 decks run 1 copy, 8 run 2, 12 run 3; Into the Void co-occurs in 72.1% of decks
- Inferred: The hand-size condition often conflicts with the Infernity hand-0 plan in the guide; Redundancy from multiple archetype homes lowers deck fragility
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard): archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only only one guide mention, from the Infernity guide
