Why it scores here
Destruction of Destiny is a Normal Trap that mills 3 cards from the top of the Deck and costs 1000 LP per Spell or Trap milled, so its only conversion is a small graveyard fuel effect with a life cost. It is run in 37 of the sampled decks, mostly at 3 copies in Greed, Toon and Performapal lists, which confirms it is a reliable set-slot card in those homes rather than a strong card by itself. Its popularity and deck count are consistency signals only and do not raise the score (guardrail 3). No combo, guide or usage-statistics evidence was supplied, so combo and resilience scores are text-only inference and the band is wide.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 40 | Set Trap that must be set in the backrow and is not searchable; 31 of 37 decks run 3 copies, so it is usually available but the mill is random (verified). |
| Combo & Conversion | 25 | No combo boards recorded; the only conversion is 3 milled cards plus damage scaled by Spell/Trap count, which is text-only inference. |
| Resource Economy | 40 | Mills 3 cards to the graveyard for fuel with no card advantage, paid for by 1000 LP per Spell or Trap milled (verified text, inference on value). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | No effect against the opponent's cards or board; it is a self-damage mill trap (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 5 | Trap cards cannot serve as Xyz, Synchro or Link material and provide no level or attribute body (verified text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | Trap that can be negated by standard counter traps; no recorded counters or recursion in evidence (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | Normal Trap with no garnet or lock; it takes one set slot and 3 copies are typical in 31 of 37 decks, but the LP cost limits when it can be used (observed, verified text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Utility default profile; no secondary role blend. Intrinsic ≈ 41, Deck ≈ 47, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
