Destiny End Dragoon — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 68 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 65.7 · Deck: 69.2 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss/End-board · Secondary: Removal
Why it scores here
Destiny End Dragoon converts a Fusion Summon into a repeatable, once-per-turn removal of any opposing monster, with the damage scaled to that monster's ATK, plus a standby revival from the GY by banishing a Destiny HERO. Its 3000 ATK earns nothing by itself; the score comes from the effect, its 310-deck presence with Fusion Destiny as the top partner, and combo boards that reach 3 to 4 end monsters. Its weak material value, dependence on Destiny HERO Fusion materials, and the battle-phase lock on activation keep it from scoring higher. The combo sample is only four boards, so the strong combo numbers carry medium confidence.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Fusion Summoned with Destiny HERO materials and reached through Fusion Destiny and Polymerization (top partners at 87% and 64%), with a GY standby revival; no starter role or searched-for role labels were recorded (observed/inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 70 | Present in 4 of 4 recorded combos with an average power index of 100 and 3 to 4 end monsters on board; combo role is empty, so its exact contribution is not labelled (observed, causal link inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 50 | Destroy is a one-for-one exchange, and the GY revival costs a banish from the GY, so the net is roughly even; combo netCardAdvantage of 4 to 5 belongs to the board, not this card alone (inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 75 | Once-per-turn targeted destruction of any face-up or face-down opposing monster, with damage equal to its ATK; strong and flexible, but the activation is negatable and bars the Battle Phase that turn (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 20 | No evidence of use as material for other summons; as a Fusion monster it is a poor material body, and there is no effect-negated body value to credit (inferred from text, no combo material stats). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 60 | Recovers from the GY in Standby Phase when a Destiny HERO is banished, which gives multi-zone recursion; the destroy effect is still negatable (verified from text, inferred for resilience). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Single-copy Extra Deck slot in 276 of 310 decks, average 1.17 copies, with no garnets or locks beyond the Destiny HERO material requirement (observed from deck data). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Boss/End-board + 0.3 Removal/Negation. Intrinsic ≈ 65.7, Deck ≈ 69.2, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Self-locking restriction (-2); Exceptional compactness (1). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Once-per-turn targeted destruction of any opposing monster, with damage equal to the destroyed monster's ATK (verified from text)
- Standby Phase GY revival by banishing a Destiny HERO gives recursion (verified from text)
- Broad deck presence: 310 decks across 40 archetypes, with Fusion Destiny and Polymerization as top partners (observed)
- Combo boards with it average power index 100 and 3 to 4 end monsters (observed, small sample)
Weaknesses
- Requires Destiny HERO Fusion materials and a Fusion route, so access depends on Fusion Destiny or Polymerization (verified from text, inferred for access)
- Cannot conduct the Battle Phase on the turn the destroy effect is activated (verified from text)
- Weak as material for other summons (inferred)
- Only four recorded combos, so the combo strength rests on a thin sample (data gap)
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the destroy activation in response, which is a generic response and not counter data supplied in the evidence (inferred from text)
- Opponent Fusion disruption that stops the Fusion Summon before the effect is reached (inferred from text, no counter data supplied)
Best use
Boss/End-board: one-shot removal that converts a Fusion Summon into a board clear, with GY recursion from Standby. Decks: Destiny HERO builds, Heroic, Vision HERO / Xtra HERO Fusion decks. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Fusion Summon only with the listed Destiny HERO materials (card text); Once-per-turn targeted destruction with damage equal to the destroyed monster's ATK (card text); Cannot Battle Phase the turn the destroy effect is activated (card text); Standby Phase GY revival by banishing a Destiny HERO (card text); 310 decks, copies average 1.17, top partner Fusion Destiny at 87.4% (deck evidence)
- Observed: Present in 4 of 4 recorded combos, average power index 100 and 3 to 4 end monsters (combo evidence); Spread across 40 archetypes, with Heroic and Destiny Heros the largest homes (deck evidence); Single-copy use in 276 of 310 decks (deck evidence)
- Inferred: Access depends on Fusion Destiny or Polymerization (inferred from the material requirement and partner data); The GY revival is a practical recursion route (inferred from text and combo sample); Weak material value for other summons (inferred from Fusion type, no material stats)
- Data gaps: no guides supplied no combo role labels, so starter role, searched-for role and payoff role cannot be confirmed combo sample is only 4 boards no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard); archetype inclusion inferred from the deck sample only no rulings or counter data supplied
