D/D Vice Typhon — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 59 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 59.2 · Deck: 59.4 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Searcher/Tutor, Extender
Why it scores here
D/D Vice Typhon converts a tribute of one D/D monster into a Level 7 D/D/D from the Deck, and later turns itself from the Graveyard into a Level 8+ D/D/D Fusion, so its value is a two-step body conversion rather than interaction. It is in all 400 sampled decks at about one copy each, which confirms it is a reliable deck fit, but that inclusion does not add power on its own. The ATK 2300 / DEF 2800 stats earn nothing, and the score is held down by zero opponent interaction, once-per-turn and GY-this-turn timing, and the requirement to run a D/D base.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 78 | The card is in 400 of 400 sampled decks at 1.05 average copies, but its Normal Summon needs a D/D monster to tribute, so it is not a live opener by itself (observed; text inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 70 | The text converts one tribute into a Level 7 D/D/D from the Deck and a later Level 8+ D/D/D Fusion, but no combo boards are supplied to confirm the conversion (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 62 | The Deck-to-field summon nets a card from the Deck against the tributed monster, and the GY Fusion banishes materials including itself, which is a recursion-style refuel (inferred from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The text grants no negation, removal or hand-trap reach, so the axis stays near the floor (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 55 | The card is a Level 7 DARK Fiend that can be tributed and banished as Fusion material from the GY, but the material route is narrow (verified from text; inferred for usefulness). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | The GY effect only works if the card was sent to the GY this turn and both effects are once per turn, so one negate or a wrong sequence can end the line (verified from text; inferred for impact). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | It is a single-copy slot with no garnets or locks, but it is only playable in D/D-based builds because it needs D/D tributes and a D/D/D Level 7 in the Deck (verified from text; observed from copies). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter + 0.3 Searcher. Intrinsic ≈ 59.2, Deck ≈ 59.4, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Archetype lock (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Included in all 400 sampled decks at about one copy each, showing a stable slot in its home archetype
- Two-stage conversion: a Level 7 D/D/D from the Deck on Normal Summon, then a Level 8+ D/D/D Fusion from the GY
- Strong, consistent partner fit (Dark Contract with the Gate 99.8%, D/D Swirl Slime 99.2%)
Weaknesses
- No opponent interaction: no negation, removal or hand-trap reach
- GY Fusion needs the card to have been sent to the GY this turn, which limits when it can be used
- Requires a D/D tribute and D/D/D Level 7 in the Deck, so it is dead outside D/D builds
- Combo evidence is absent, so combo conversion and starter reliability are not measured
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the Normal Summon or its trigger, inferred from text (no counter evidence supplied)
- Interaction that removes the card from the field before the GY Fusion window opens, inferred from text
Best use
Starter / Combo enabler. Decks: D/D/D. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Normal Summon: tribute 1 D/D monster to Special Summon 1 Level 7 D/D/D from the Deck; Main Phase GY effect: if sent to the GY this turn, Fusion Summon 1 Level 8+ D/D/D Fusion by banishing materials from the GY including this card; Each effect is once per turn; no negation or removal text
- Observed: Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks at 1.05 average copies (381 at one copy); Top partners include Dark Contract with the Gate (99.8%) and D/D Swirl Slime (99.2%); Main archetypes are D/D/D (58%, 25.8%, 6.2%)
- Inferred: Accessibility is conditional on having a D/D monster to tribute; The two-step body conversion makes it a Starter / Combo enabler; The GY Fusion route is narrow and timing-dependent
- 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 the deck sample only archetype labels are inconsistent (several 'Không có' rows and duplicate D/D/D names)
