Why it scores here
Crusadia Revival is a Field Spell that gives every Crusadia Link Monster +500 ATK and, once per turn, lets one targeted Crusadia Link attack all opposing monsters once each while stopping the player's other monsters from attacking. It does not search, draw, negate or add a body, so its score comes from turning a Crusadia Link board into a multi-attack finisher. Its 400/400 presence in the sampled decks, with the core Crusadia Links as top partners, confirms that it is a consistent piece of the archetype, not that it is intrinsically strong. The high presence is a consequence of playing it, not a reason to raise the score.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | It appears in all 400 sampled decks at 1 copy on average, but there is no combo starter or searched data, so access is inferred from deck inclusion alone (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 60 | The text converts a Link board into one attack-all turn with +500 ATK, which is a real conversion, but no combo examples or power_index data confirm it (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 35 | It gives no card advantage, search or refuel, so the return is only damage and board removal from the attack-all effect (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 35 | It has no negation, removal or hand-trap effect; attack-all can clear monsters but is not interaction (verified). |
| Material Utility | 5 | It is a Spell and cannot be used as Link material, so the score sits near the floor (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | The effect persists even if the card leaves the field, which helps it survive, but it is a single Field Spell that field-destruction effects can remove (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | It runs one copy in most decks, has no garnet lock, but is archetype-locked to Crusadia Link monsters, so it is a mild restriction (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Board breaker + 0.3 Utility. Intrinsic ≈ 48, Deck ≈ 51, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: archetype lock (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck

Weaknesses
- No search, draw, negate or added body
- Needs at least one Crusadia Link Monster to be useful
- Archetype-locked; dead outside Crusadia builds
- Once per turn, so the attack-all is limited to one Link per turn
Counters / choke points
- Field-destruction or Field Spell removal effects
