Dragon's Fighting Spirit — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 40 ± 12 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 39 · Deck: 41 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Utility · Secondary: Board breaker
Why it scores here
Dragon's Fighting Spirit is a one-copy Quick-Play that only adds attacks to a Special Summoned Dragon, so its value depends on the opponent Special Summoning monsters in the same turn. The text shows no search, draw, negation, or board-building, and the empty combo evidence means no observed starter or payoff role. It is run in 34 recent decks across 10 archetypes, mostly as a single copy alongside Blue-Eyes White Dragon, but that confirms it is a practical Dragon-deck support card, not that it is strong. Its high-level stats and Dragon-theme popularity earn no points.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 50 | Live in 34 of 400 sampled decks, usually as a single copy, but it is not a searcher and needs a Special Summoned Dragon already on the field (observed deck count; inferred route) (observed/inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 25 | Text only: it adds attacks to an existing Dragon and does not build a board, and no combos were supplied to confirm a conversion line (verified text; inferred conversion). |
| Resource Economy | 35 | A one-for-one Quick-Play spell with no draw, search, or recursion, so card economy is roughly even at best (verified text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No negation, removal, or disruption in the text (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 5 | A Spell card that cannot be used as material (verified text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 30 | Quick-Play timing and a condition that must be met on the same turn make it fragile to a single negate or to the opponent not Special Summoning (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Single-copy slot in most decks with no garnet or self-lock, but it is a dead card when no Dragon is Special Summoned (observed deck copies; inferred from text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Utility default (no clear role); single primary role, no secondary blend applied. Intrinsic ≈ 39, Deck ≈ 41, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Cheap single-copy slot run across 10 archetypes
- Consistently paired with Blue-Eyes White Dragon (79% of sampled decks)
Weaknesses
- Only adds attack, so it does nothing without a Special Summoned Dragon and a Special Summoning opponent
- No search, draw, negation, or board presence
- Quick-Play spell that can be blanked by a single interruption
Counters / choke points
- Negation or hand traps that stop the Quick-Play activation
- Opponent not Special Summoning monsters in the turn (the bonus scales with that)
Best use
Battle Phase damage finisher in Dragon decks. Decks: Blue-Eyes, Dragonmaid, Galaxy Photon. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: targets a Dragon you control that was Special Summoned this turn and gains attack for each opponent monster Special Summoned this turn during each Battle Phase; Quick-Play Spell with no search, draw, negation, or material role in the text
- Observed: Appears in 34 recent decks, 31 with one copy and 3 with two copies; Blue-Eyes White Dragon co-occurs in 27 of 34 decks (79.4%)
- Inferred: Usable as a finisher only when a Dragon is Special Summoned and the opponent Special Summons on the same turn; Fragile to a single negate due to Quick-Play timing and a conditional effect
- 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 no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited)
