Destroyer Golem — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 48 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 51 · Deck: 46 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body / Normal
Why it scores here
Destroyer Golem is a vanilla 1500/1000 Level 4 Earth Rock Normal Monster with no effect text, so it converts nothing on its own and earns no points for its ATK. Its score comes from being a clean, unrestricted Level 4 Earth body that is easy to run: 9 of the 11 sample decks play 3 copies across 7 archetypes. That deck evidence confirms the card is played, not that it is strong (guardrail 3), and the absence of any combo or material records keeps the material score at a neutral 50.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Drawn and summoned like any Normal Monster with no search or setup needed, but it is a plain body with no route that matters beyond being played (inference from card text; decks_evidence shows 3 copies in 9 of 11 decks). |
| Combo & Conversion | 20 | Vanilla text and zero recorded combo boards, so it does nothing beyond one 1500-ATK body (verified from card text; combos_evidence total_combos 0). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | No draw, search, or recursion; it is a one-for-one card with no advantage (verified from card text, scored as roughly even). |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | No effect, so no negation, removal, or disruption of any kind (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 50 | Level 4 Earth is a clean generic material fit, and a vanilla body cannot be blanked, but no combo or deck record shows it being used as material (inferred; combos_evidence as_material 0). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 25 | A single 1500-ATK monster with no protection, recovery, or multi-zone presence; any monster removal or battle ends it (inferred from card text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 85 | A normal monster with no garnet, lock, or restriction, and redundant copies are fine; 3 copies in most sample decks (observed; decks_evidence copies_per_deck). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Primary role Material body / Normal, no secondary role blend. Intrinsic ≈ 51, Deck ≈ 46, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Clean, unrestricted Level 4 Earth body with no garnet or lock cost
- Played as a 3-copy staple in 9 of 11 sample decks across 7 archetypes (observed)
- Vanilla text cannot be negated, so the body always converts as material (inferred)
Weaknesses
- No effect text: no searching, draw, negation, or removal
- Zero recorded combo boards, so no observed conversion value
- Dies to any monster removal or battle; no redundancy in its own zone (inferred)
- 1500 ATK earns no points under this rubric
Counters / choke points
- No counter cards in evidence; any monster removal or battle ends it (inferred)
Best use
Generic Level 4 body and material filler. Decks: Archfiend, Greed, Hole, Psy-Frame, P.U.N.K.. Suggested copies: 3.
