Dragonic Tactics — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 49 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 47 · Deck: 51 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter · Secondary: Extender
Why it scores here
Dragonic Tactics converts two Dragon monsters on the field into one Level 8 Dragon from the Deck, so its value depends on already having a Dragon board. Its power is that single deck-to-field body, which the 30-deck sample supports through Blue-Eyes shells (46.7% of decks, with Blue-Eyes White Dragon as the top partner). It is a Spell with no interaction or material value, and its tribute cost is a net card disadvantage, so the score comes from access and the body it returns rather than from any card-advantage engine.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Normal Spell in hand, but it needs two Dragon monsters on the field; 30 of 30 sampled decks run it, mostly in Blue-Eyes shells (verified text; observed deck counts). |
| Combo & Conversion | 50 | Summons one Level 8 Dragon from the Deck with no further text, so conversion is one body plus whatever that Dragon does; no combo boards are recorded (verified text; inferred conversion). |
| Resource Economy | 35 | Costs one Spell and two Dragons while returning one monster, a net loss of card count with no refuel or draw in the text (verified text; inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No negation, removal, or hand-trap reach in the text (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 5 | A Spell Card cannot serve as material and the text does not add any material value (verified text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Can be negated in response, and it relies on two Dragons staying on the field; 13 archetypes give some spread across homes (verified text; observed deck spread). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | About 1.2 copies per deck, a single slot, no garnet or lock, but tied to a Dragon-heavy shell (observed deck counts; inferred restriction). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Starter / Combo enabler weights only; no secondary blend applied (Extender weights not mixed in). Intrinsic ≈ 47, Deck ≈ 51, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Reliable deck-to-field Level 8 Dragon from the Deck, with a 1-slot cost
- Strong fit in Blue-Eyes shells (46.7% of sampled decks; Blue-Eyes White Dragon in 73.3%)
- Accessible across 13 archetypes in the sample, so it is not a one-deck card
Weaknesses
- Requires two Dragon monsters on the field, which restricts when it can be played
- Net card disadvantage: two monsters and one Spell for one Level 8 Dragon
- No interaction, no material value, and no recorded combo boards to confirm its conversion
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the Spell in response
- Removal or disruption of the two Dragons before activation
Best use
Starter / Dragon-to-field body. Decks: Blue-Eyes, Dragonmaid, Guardragon. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Spell card text: tribute 2 Dragon monsters, then Special Summon 1 Level 8 Dragon from the Deck; Frame is spell, card type Spell Card, with no interaction text
- Observed: Present in 30 of the sampled decks, 1.2 copies average, max 3; Blue-Eyes is the largest home (46.7%); Blue-Eyes White Dragon is a partner in 73.3% of decks
- Inferred: Accessibility is capped by the two-Dragon requirement; Net card disadvantage follows from the text (2 monsters and 1 Spell out, 1 monster in); The Level 8 Dragon is only a body; its value depends on what that Dragon does, which is not in the evidence
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard): archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only no list of which Level 8 Dragons the card can target, so the body's value is not verified
