Dragunity Knight - Luin — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 55 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 53 · Deck: 55 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Luin's value is mostly as a Level 6 WIND Dragon Tuner body in Dragunity Synchro lines, plus a GY-send effect that equips it to a Dragunity you control for +1000 ATK/DEF. Its near-total presence in the sampled decks (400 of 400, with Dragunity Lord - Georgius at 97.5%) confirms the card is consistently played, but that sample is the card's own deck pool, so it is not market share and earns no points by itself. The two recorded boards average a power index of 45.5 with no starter, searched or end-board role observed, which keeps combo conversion moderate. Effect interaction is essentially absent and both effects are locked to Dragunity targets, so the score stays in the middle band despite the high deck count and the 1200 ATK / 1900 DEF stats, which earned nothing.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 62 | Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks with a 97.5% pairing with Dragunity Lord - Georgius, but Synchro access depends on materials on the field (observed; Synchro route inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | Only 2 recorded boards, average power index 45.5 with average starter count 1.5, and no end-board role observed (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 50 | The GY-send effect and Special Summon effect give recovery of a Dragunity into equip position, with no card-advantage numbers recorded (inferred from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | Card text has no negation, removal or hand-trap effect, so opponent interaction is absent (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 60 | A Level 6 WIND Tuner that fits Synchro summons, and its Tuner body still exists if its effects are negated; the sample shows no material role appearances, so the value is text-based (verified from text, inferred for usage). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | Two once-per-turn effects with the GY-send effect working from the graveyard, but the Special Summon effect can be negated (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Single-copy usage in 397 of 400 decks with no garnet or lock, but both effects only target Dragunity monsters (observed for copies; verified from text for the restriction). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 53, Deck ≈ 55, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Level 6 WIND Tuner body that fits Dragunity Synchro lines
- Present in all 400 sampled decks with strong partner pairings (Georgius 97.5%, Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 95%)
- GY-send effect converts the card into a +1000 ATK/DEF equip on a Dragunity you control
Weaknesses
- Both effects target only Dragunity monsters
- No opponent interaction: no negation, removal or hand-trap effect
- Thin combo evidence: only 2 recorded boards and no starter, searched or material role observed
- Once-per-turn limits on each effect and no end-board presence in the sample
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the Special Summon effect or the GY-send effect (general interaction, inferred)
- Removal or disruption of the Dragunity monsters it needs as equip targets (inferred from text)

Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 6 WIND Synchro Tuner, ATK 1200, DEF 1900; Special Summon effect equips a Dragunity from the GY to this card; GY-send effect equips this card to a Dragunity you control for +1000 ATK/DEF; No negation, removal or hand-trap effect in text
- Observed: Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks; 397 run 1 copy; Top partners Dragunity Lord - Georgius (97.5%) and Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (95%); 2 recorded boards, average power index 45.5, average starter count 1.5; StatisticsCard inclusion 66.7% to 100% across 8 archetypes
- Inferred: Synchro access is conditional on materials being on the field; Equip-from-GY effect acts as recovery of a Dragunity into equip position; Negation of the on-summon or GY effect would blank the card's value
- Data gaps: no guides supplied no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no rulings supplied for the equip-from-GY and GY-send interactions only 2 recorded combo boards, so combo centrality is weakly measured the 400-deck sample is the card's own pool, so 100% presence is not a market-share measure
