Final Score: 37 ± 10 · Confidence: Low

Why it scores here
Double Defender is a Continuous Spell that, once per turn, negates one opponent's attack, but only while you control 2 or more face-up Defense Position monsters. Its value is a conditional, repeatable attack negation with no body, no card advantage and no combo output, so it converts little beyond a single blocked attack per turn. The card is generic and cheap to run, but the Defense Position requirement limits when it works, and high ATK or view count earned no points here.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 30 | The card is a hand-playable Spell, but its effect is live only with 2 or more face-up Defense Position monsters on your side, a specific board requirement with no searcher evidence (verified text; no decks or combos to confirm routes). |
| Combo & Conversion | 15 | The card creates no body and no board, and its only output is negating one attack, so it does nothing on its own (verified text; no combo evidence). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | One attack negated per turn while the Continuous Spell stays on the field gives repeated use but no card advantage, refuel or recursion (verified text, inferred as repeated use). |
| Effect & Interaction | 40 | It negates an attacking monster once per turn, a soft and conditional form of interaction that does not touch monster effects or the board (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 0 | A Spell Card cannot be used as Xyz, Synchro, Link or Fusion material, so it gives no material value (verified frame type). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 30 | As a Continuous Spell on the field it can be removed by backrow removal, and losing its Defense Position condition shuts it off (inferred from text and card type; no interaction data). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | It is a single generic non-garnet slot that needs no specific archetype, though the Defense Position requirement restricts which decks can use it (verified text; no deck evidence). |
