Dimension Fusion — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 52 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 52 · Deck: 51 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Dimension Fusion's power is recovery: for 2000 LP it Special Summons removed-from-play monsters from both sides, a board-building effect that depends on there being removed monsters to return. The 71-deck sample shows it is a consistently included 1–2 copy staple across 25 archetypes, which supports generic portability but is not evidence of intrinsic strength (guardrail 3). No combo, guide, or usage-statistics evidence exists, so the combo axis is inferred from text only, and the score is held down by the LP cost, zero interaction, no body value, and an illegal-copy flag (legal_copies is 0 in every format, which conflicts with 71 recent decks and needs verification). ATK and rarity earned no points.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Generic Spell with no searcher, but 71 recent decks run it across 25 archetypes, so it is a live hand card in those lists (observed deck count; reliability in hand inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 50 | Text converts removed-from-play monsters into a multi-body board for both players, but there are zero recorded combo boards, so the conversion size is inferred from text only (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | Pays 2000 LP and returns bodies from removed-from-play, giving potential multi-for-one value when the removed zone is populated; no draw or refuel (verified from text, magnitude inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No negation, removal, or disruption on the card text (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 5 | A Spell has no material body of its own; it only returns other monsters (verified from text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Single-copy spell with no redundancy, vulnerable to spell negation and to an empty removed zone; the 1.58 average copies per deck adds only mild redundancy (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Cheap to run at 1–2 copies, no garnet or lock restriction, and it sits alongside common staples such as Pot of Greed (observed from decks). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Pure Recovery/Recursion profile (no secondary blend). Intrinsic ≈ 52, Deck ≈ 51, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Illegal in all listed formats (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Broad adoption: 71 recent decks across 25 archetypes and 3 gameplay types
- Generic recursion that returns removed-from-play monsters from both sides
- Low deckbuilding cost: 1–2 copies, no garnets or locks
- Runs alongside high-frequency staples such as Pot of Greed (66.2%) and Premature Burial (62%)
Weaknesses
- 2000 LP cost is paid whether or not the removed zone yields value
- No interaction and no body of its own
- Depends on the removed-from-play zone being populated
- No combo, guide, or usage-statistics evidence to confirm conversion
- legal_copies of 0 in all formats needs verification
Counters / choke points
- Spell negation (inferred from card type; not present in evidence)
Best use
Recovery/Recursion. Decks: Heroic, Nephthys, Greed.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: pay 2000 LP; both players Special Summon removed-from-play monsters as many as possible; 71 recent decks, average 1.58 copies, 25 distinct archetypes; Top partner Pot of Greed in 66.2% of decks; legal_copies reported as 0 in TCG, OCG and MasterDuel
- Observed: Copy distribution: 42 decks at 1 copy, 17 at 2, 12 at 3; Gameplay split: 43.7% type 7, 40.8% type 6, 15.5% type 4
- Inferred: Recovery/Recursion is the primary role from the text; Combo conversion of about 50 is inferred from text because no combos are recorded; Counter by spell negation is inferred from card type
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only legal_copies is 0 in every format while 71 recent decks run the card — legality needs verification avg_starter_count_when_present unavailable, so deck resilience is inferred from archetype spread
