Dogmatika Genesis — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 54 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 54 · Deck: 54 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Removal / Negation · Secondary: Board breaker
Why it scores here
Dogmatika Genesis converts a banished Fusion, Synchro, Xyz or Link monster into a shot at an opposing effect monster of the same type: it returns the banished monster to the Extra Deck and negates that opposing monster. Its value is conditional on having a banished Extra Deck monster and a matching-type opposing effect monster, so it is a targeted negate rather than a flexible one. High deck counts (65 decks, 27 Dogmatika) and strong partner co-occurrence confirm it is a practical in-archetype piece, but that frequency does not raise the score on its own.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Needs a banished Extra Deck monster of a specific type, which the Dogmatika shell supplies, but it is not a live opening-hand route (inferred from text; deck data shows 65 decks running it, 1.05 copies on average). |
| Combo & Conversion | 20 | Only a negate and a return to the Extra Deck; it builds no board on its own and there are no combo boards to confirm otherwise (inferred from text; combo data total combos = 0). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | Returns a banished Extra Deck monster to the Extra Deck, which recycles a resource but does not create card advantage (inferred from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 60 | Negates the effects of one opposing effect monster of a matching type, with one activation per turn; strong when the type matches, but narrow otherwise (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 10 | A Trap Card, so it provides no material body (verified from text and card frame). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | A set Trap with a type-matching condition, so it can be blanked or fail to find a target; no redundancy data on its line (inferred from text; deck evidence shows 1.05 copies per deck). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 65 | One-copy-dominant (62 of 65 decks run one), no garnet or lock restriction, and a single trap slot (observed from deck data copies per deck). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Removal/Negation + 0.3 Board breaker/Going-second. Intrinsic ≈ 54, Deck ≈ 54, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Clean, one-card negate of an opposing effect monster, returning the banished monster to the Extra Deck in the same action
- Low slot cost: one copy in most decks, no garnet or self-lock restriction
- Strongly tied to the Dogmatika shell (27 of 65 decks, 87.7% co-occurrence with Dogmatika Fleurdelis)
Weaknesses
- Requires a banished Fusion, Synchro, Xyz or Link monster, so it is dead without that resource
- Only works against an opposing effect monster of the same Extra Deck type; no general-purpose negate
- Once per turn, and no combo boards in the evidence confirm its line in practice
Counters / choke points
- Opponent controls no effect monster of the matching type (Fusion, Synchro, Xyz or Link)
- No banished Extra Deck monster of the matching type to return
- Opponent answers the trap itself on their turn, which the evidence does not measure
Best use
Targeted negate and Extra Deck recycle for Dogmatika lines against opposing Extra Deck effect monsters. Decks: Dogmatika. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: targets a banished Fusion, Synchro, Xyz or Link monster and an opposing effect monster of the same type; returns the banished monster to the Extra Deck and negates the opposing monster's effects; once per turn; Frame and type: Trap Card; 65 decks run it, 62 with 1 copy and 3 with 2 copies; Top partners: Fleurdelis 87.7%, Ecclesia 81.5%, Punishment 76.9%
- Observed: Dogmatika archetype accounts for 27 of 65 decks (41.5%); Distinct archetypes: 18, with most of the sample in Dogmatika and Branded
- Inferred: Needs a banished Extra Deck monster of a specific type to function, so accessibility is conditional; Narrow negate: only an opposing effect monster of the same type is a valid target; Interaction is soft-to-moderate and depends on the opponent's board
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token, so 3 copies assumed no usage statistics (StatisticsCard); inclusion % inferred from the 65-deck sample only
