Why it scores here
Cursed Bride Doll is a Level 3 Tuner that Special Summons itself when drawn, so it is live on a normal draw without a searcher. Its Battle Phase ATK gain depends on the deck-count lead, which is conditional and unmeasured here, and its End Phase return to the top of the Deck gives recursion rather than card advantage. The 35-deck sample (100% Master Duel, 17 archetypes, 1.4 copies average) supports a broadly portable, cheap utility body, but the lack of combo data keeps the conversion axis moderate; the 2400 view count and high ATK-style numbers earned no points.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Draw-triggered self Special Summon from hand makes it live whenever drawn, but it is not searchable and its only route is the draw itself (verified text, observed 35/35 decks but no as_starter data; tier: inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | Converts a draw into a Level 3 Tuner body, with the ATK bonus scaling by deck-count difference that is conditional and unmeasured because no combos were supplied (verified text; tier: inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | No card gained on summon; the End Phase return to the top of the Deck recycles the body for a redraw, a neutral recursion rather than advantage (verified text; tier: inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | No negation, removal, or hand-trap effect; it provides no opponent interaction (verified text; tier: verified). |
| Material Utility | 75 | Level 3 Tuner for Synchro, and the Tuner type survives effect negation, so it still converts as material when blanked (verified card type and level; tier: verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | Its draw effect is easy for a single negate to end, but it recurs to the Deck top and is common alongside Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence in the sample (observed 22 and 20 co-decks; tier: observed). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 85 | Average 1.4 copies, no garnets or locks, and 1 to 3 copies in the sample show it is cheap and flexible to run (observed deck distribution; tier: observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter / Combo enabler + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 57.4, Deck ≈ 61.2, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Live on a normal draw via self Special Summon, with no searcher needed
- Level 3 Tuner that converts cleanly as Synchro material, even when its effects are negated
- Cheap to run: 1.4 copies average, no garnets or locks, portable across 17 archetypes
- Recurs to the top of the Deck when sent to the GY during the turn
Weaknesses
- No negation or removal, so no opponent interaction
- ATK bonus depends on a conditional deck-count lead
- Single-copy body with a fiddly once-per-turn GY condition
- No combo evidence to confirm a real conversion route
Counters / choke points
- Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and similar responses to its draw-trigger Special Summon
- Floodgates or monster-effect negation during the draw
- Opponent deck-count manipulation that removes the ATK lead
Best use
Draw-triggered Level 3 Tuner starter and recursive utility body. Decks: P.U.N.K., Maliss, Dogmatika, Despia, Branded, Fortune Lady. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Draw-triggered self Special Summon from hand; Level 3 EARTH Spellcaster Tuner; Battle Phase ATK gain of deck-count difference x 300; Once-per-turn End Phase return to top of Deck when sent to GY this turn
- Observed: Present in 35 of 35 sampled decks across 17 archetypes; Average 1.4 copies per deck, max 3; Top partners: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (22), Infinite Impermanence (20), Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion (20)
- Inferred: Role is a draw-based starter with recursion, not a search-dependent starter; Draw-based access is reliable enough to rate accessibility at 60; Combo conversion is moderate because the ATK bonus is conditional
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so inclusion is inferred from the 35-deck sample only no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited)
