Why it scores here
Dark Burning Attack is a one-card mass removal spell: it destroys every face-up monster the opponent controls, and its only condition is that you control a Dark Magician Girl monster. That condition is met in most of the sample (Dark Magician Girl appears in 92.6% of the 283 decks), so the card is reliably live, and the effect converts a single card into a potentially large board swing. It earns its points from effect_interaction and accessibility, not from anything about the card's frame or stats. The body contributes almost nothing because a Spell cannot be material, and the card gets no credit for popularity or the 283-deck count beyond confirming the condition is practical. It is also a sorcery-speed spell with no negation or recursion, so one counter or a missing Dark Magician Girl turns it into a dead card.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Live only when you control Dark Magician Girl, which is in 92.6% of the sampled decks, but it needs that monster on the field first (inferred from text and top_partners; no combo as_starter data) (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 60 | One-card mass destruction is strong conversion when the condition is met, but no combo boards were supplied, so the conversion is text-only (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | One card removes every opposing face-up monster, so it is a net card advantage when the opponent has two or more monsters, with no refuel or recursion (inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 75 | Strong, unconditional-on-target mass removal that is hard to play around once the condition is set up, though it has no negation component (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 10 | A Spell cannot be used as material and has no body to convert, so this axis is near zero (verified from frame_type). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | A single sorcery-speed spell that dies to any negation and gives no zone or turn redundancy (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 45 | Mostly runs one copy (216 of 283 decks), but it needs the Dark Magician Girl condition, so it is a mild restriction on non-Dark Magician builds (observed from copies_per_deck and top_partners). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Board breaker + 0.3 Removal. Intrinsic ≈ 56, Deck ≈ 55, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Mass removal of every face-up opposing monster from a single card
- Condition is near-universal in its primary homes (Dark Magician Girl in 92.6% of decks)
- Clear, unambiguous card text with no timing ambiguity
Weaknesses
- Requires Dark Magician Girl on the field, so it is dead without that monster
- Sorcery-speed Spell, so it cannot be used as a response
- No body, so no material or board presence of its own
- One negation ends the play
Counters / choke points
- Negation effects that target the activation
- Board states where the opponent has few or no face-up monsters, which make the effect low-value
Best use
Board breaker. Decks: Dark Magician. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: destroy all face-up monsters the opponent controls, conditional on controlling a Dark Magician Girl monster; Spell card with no body, so it cannot be material; Legal in TCG, OCG, MasterDuel and DuelLinks
- Observed: Dark Magician Girl is in 262 of 283 decks (92.6%); 216 of 283 decks run one copy; average 1.3 copies; 69.3% of decks are gameplay type 7
- Inferred: Accessibility depends on Dark Magician Girl being on the field, not just in hand; Resource economy is a net advantage when the opponent controls two or more monsters; Negation is the main counter, because the card has no protection
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only
