Destiny HERO - Disk Commander — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 57 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 56 · Deck: 58 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Recovery/Recursion · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Disk Commander's value is a once-per-Duel draw 2 that triggers only after it is Special Summoned from the GY, with a restriction that it cannot be revived the turn it was sent there. That is real card advantage, but it is gated behind GY access and a single use, so the 300 ATK and Level 1 body earn little on their own. The card is widely run (298 decks, about 1 copy each, with strong Destiny HERO partner pairings), which confirms it is a practical, accessible recursion piece, but high deck inclusion is not treated as intrinsic power. No combo evidence exists, so the combo-conversion score rests on text alone.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Live in 298 of 298 sampled decks at about 1 copy each, but reaching the GY and then Special Summoning it is a conditional route with no combo starter data (observed deck frequency; route inferred from text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | No recorded boards, so conversion is limited to text: the draw 2 is a single follow-up effect with no body beyond a 300 ATK Level 1 (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 72 | A once-per-Duel draw 2 from the GY is a clean refuel that turns a spent card into +2 cards without a cost (verified from card text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 8 | No negation, removal, or hand-trap effect on the card (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 45 | Level 1 DARK Warrior body is a generic low-level material, but with no Tuner and no conversion evidence the value is modest (verified from card text; inference). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | The effect is a GY-based, once-per-Duel trigger that a GY interaction can disrupt, and its 300 ATK body offers little board presence (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Single-copy, no garnet or lock requirement, and a cheap body fits many decks, so slot cost is low (observed copy distribution; inference). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Recovery/Recursion + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 56, Deck ≈ 58, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Once-per-Duel draw 2 from the GY gives clean card advantage
- Widely included across 45 archetypes and 298 sampled decks
- Low slot cost with a single-copy profile
Weaknesses
- Requires GY access and a Special Summon from the GY
- Cannot be revived the turn it was sent to the GY
- No interaction or negation and a low-impact 300 ATK body
Counters / choke points
- GY interaction such as banish or GY-targeting effects

Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Once-per-Duel draw 2 when Special Summoned from the GY (card text); Cannot be Special Summoned from the GY the turn it was sent there (card text); Level 1 DARK Warrior, 300 ATK / 300 DEF, Effect Monster (card data)
- Observed: Appears in 298 sampled decks, average 1.04 copies, 45 distinct archetypes (deck data); Strong pairings with Fusion Destiny (82.6%) and Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer (79.9%) (deck data); Guides list it in the Destiny HERO main deck section (guide data)
- Inferred: Accessibility depends on sending it to the GY and then Special Summoning it, which is a conditional route; Material value is generic at Level 1 but has no conversion evidence; Single use per Duel means the card is a one-shot draw rather than a repeatable engine
- 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 deck sample only
