Dark Spirit Art - Greed — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 48 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 46 · Deck: 50 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Utility · Secondary: Resource (draw)
Why it scores here
The card's text is a Tribute-cost draw 2, which converts one DARK monster plus the trap itself into two cards, so it is roughly card-neutral with a small upside. It needs a DARK monster on the field, so access is conditional, and it does no interaction of its own. The score is held down by the absence of combo data and the weak body value, not by its ATK or popularity. Deck evidence (14 decks, 9 archetypes, mostly 1 copy) shows it is a practical, portable pick rather than a niche one, which supports a mid-range score.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Needs a DARK monster on the field to pay the Tribute cost; playable across 9 archetypes and 14 decks (observed deck spread, conditional on the board). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | No combo boards were supplied, so conversion is text-only: draw 2 for one tribute, no further payoff (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | Spends the trap and one monster to draw 2, roughly card-neutral with a small edge when the monster is a useful body (inferred from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | The card has no negation or removal; the only interaction is the opponent's optional reveal of a Spell to negate the draw (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 10 | Trap card, so it is not a material body; any value comes only from the tributed monster (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | The opponent can negate the draw by revealing one Spell, a cheap answer in many decks (verified from text, inferred impact). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 65 | Typically 1 copy per deck (avg 1.36), no garnet or lock restriction; the DARK tribute requirement is the only real constraint (observed deck data plus text). |
