Doomsday Horror — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 55 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 56 · Deck: 54 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Recovery / Recursion · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Doomsday Horror is a Level 4 DARK Fiend whose value comes from two text effects: its ATK and DEF scale with banished DARK monsters, and when it is destroyed it returns all banished DARK monsters to the Graveyards. It reliably converts a banished DARK pool into a Level 4 body and a Graveyard refuel, so the score rests on the recursion and material fit. The 50-deck sample shows it is played across 14 archetypes, but that confirms portability, not strength. Its high stat ceiling earns nothing on its own, and the absence of combo evidence keeps the combo and interaction axes low.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | The card runs in 50 of 50 sampled decks across 14 archetypes, but it has no searcher and is reached mainly through GY-sending partners such as Foolish Burial (observed, deck stats; the hand-access route is inferred from text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | No combo boards were supplied, so conversion rests on the text: a Level 4 body plus a destroy-to-refuel trigger (inferred from card text). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | The destroy trigger returns every banished DARK monster to the Graveyards, a large refuel when it works (verified from card text); no net advantage count is available. |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | The card has no negation, removal, or hand-trap effect (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 60 | A Level 4 DARK Fiend is a clean Level and attribute fit for Xyz and Link lines, and the body stays usable when its effects are negated (inferred from text and the Level/attribute fit). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Its stats and the destroy refuel are both effects, so one negate removes them; the destroy trigger gives some recovery value (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | Single-copy use in 46 of 50 decks, with no garnet or lock restrictions shown in the evidence (observed, deck copy distribution). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Recovery/Recursion + 0.3 Material body (Level 4 body with a destroy-refuel secondary). Intrinsic ≈ 56, Deck ≈ 54, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Level 4 DARK Fiend body that fits many Xyz and Link lines
- Destroy trigger refuels the Graveyard with banished DARK monsters
- Single-copy usage with no garnet cost
- Played across 14 archetypes in the sample
Weaknesses
- No searcher and no direct hand access; relies on partners that send it to the GY
- Stats and refuel are both effects, so one negate removes most of its value
- No recorded combo boards to confirm conversion
- Stat value depends on a banished DARK pool that must be built first
Counters / choke points
- Effect negation shuts off both the banish-count stats and the destroy refuel (inferred from text)
Best use
A Level 4 DARK body that gains stats as DARK monsters are banished and refuels the Graveyard when destroyed.. Decks: Chaos Phantom, P.U.N.K., Exchange of the Spirit, Lightsworn. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: ATK and DEF equal banished DARK monsters x 300 (card text); Destroy trigger returns all banished DARK monsters to the Graveyards (card text); Level 4 DARK Fiend (card data); 50 of 50 sampled decks run it, 46 at one copy (deck stats)
- Observed: Partner co-occurrence with Foolish Burial (84%) and Necroface (76%) (deck stats); Spread across 14 archetypes (deck stats)
- Inferred: Hand access is limited to GY-sending routes (no searcher in evidence); Negating the effect removes both the stats and the refuel; Material fit for Xyz and Link lines follows from Level 4 DARK Fiend
- 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), so inclusion is from the deck sample only
