2 Dragon and/or Winged Beast monsters, except Tokens If this card is Link Summoned: You can add 1 "Dragunity" Spell/Trap or 1 "Dragon Ravine" from your Deck to your hand. If a Dragon monster(s) is Special Summoned from the Extra Deck to a zone this card points to (except during the Damage Step): You can Special Summon 1 Dragon or Winged Beast monster from your hand in Defense Position, but for the rest of this turn, its effects (if any) are negated and it cannot be used as Link Material. You can only use each effect of "Dragunity Knight - Romulus" once per turn.
Dragunity Knight - Romulus — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 62 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 59 · Deck: 64 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor · Secondary: Extender
Why it scores here
Romulus converts its Link Summon into one searched card (a Dragunity Spell/Trap or Dragon Ravine), which keeps it live in most Dragon Link and Dragunity lines, and its second effect can put a Dragon or Winged Beast from hand onto the field in Defense Position. Its 400/400 deck inclusion and 53 distinct archetypes confirm it is a reliable, portable staple, but that is accessibility and frequency, not proof of power. Its combo evidence is a single board with no starter, searched, or payoff role recorded, so the combo axis stays low, and its 1200 ATK and Link-2 body earn no points on their own.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 78 | Played in all 400 sampled decks, with Dragon Ravine and Dragon Link partners, and searchable on Link Summon, but the combo sample never records it as a starter or searched piece (observed/verified text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | Its only recorded board is a 12-power Dragonmaid combo with no combo role tag, so the evidence does not show what it builds from a realistic start (observed; the rest is inferred from text). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | The Link Summon trigger is a single search, which is a net +1 card with no graveyard refuel (verified text, inferred advantage). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | Neither effect disrupts the opponent; the second effect only revives a friendly monster that is negated (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 55 | A WIND Dragon Link-2 body that is a usable Link material for Dragon-type Link lines; no clause prevents it from being used as material (verified text, inferred fit). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | Two once-per-turn effects in one body give some redundancy, but the Link Summon search can be disrupted by a generic response to the trigger, and the sample has no interaction data (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 72 | Typically one copy in 385 of 400 decks, no garnet or lock clause, and a single slot with an observed Dragon Ravine partner (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher/Tutor + 0.3 Extender. Intrinsic ≈ 59, Deck ≈ 64, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Single-copy compactness (1). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Searches a Dragunity Spell/Trap or Dragon Ravine on Link Summon, so it is a steady +1 card
- Live in 400/400 sampled decks across 53 archetypes, so it is a portable staple
- Its second effect puts a Dragon or Winged Beast from hand onto the field, adding a body without a Link cost
- Link-2 body with clean Dragon/WIND material fit for Link lines
Weaknesses
- Combo evidence has a single board with no starter, searched, or payoff role recorded
- No direct opponent interaction; the revival effect only helps the controller
- Reactive effects that only trigger on Link Summon or on a Dragon Extra Deck summon
- Its 1200 ATK and Link-2 body add no power by themselves
Counters / choke points
- Opponent responses to the Link Summon trigger, such as hand traps, that stop the search (inferred from text; no counter data in evidence)
Best use
Searcher/Tutor and Link-2 extender in Dragon-type Link lines. Decks: Dragon Link, Dragunity, Rokket, Borrel. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Link Summon trigger searches one Dragunity Spell/Trap or Dragon Ravine from Deck to hand; Second effect Special Summons a Dragon or Winged Beast from hand in Defense Position, negated and unusable as Link material for the turn; Each effect is once per turn; Link-2 with bottom-left and bottom-right arrows; Played in 400/400 sampled decks, 53 distinct archetypes, typical copies 1
- Observed: Dragon Ravine appears in 91.5% of sampled decks; Single combo appearance with power index 12 and no combo role tags; Usage statistics show 100% inclusion in Red-Eyes, Mist Valley and Dragon Link (main-deck, typical copies 1)
- Inferred: Searcher is the primary role because the Link Summon trigger is the main value; Second effect is an extender-style revival with a timing window that excludes Damage Step; Generic responses to the Link Summon trigger reduce the search's reliability
- Data gaps: no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) combo data has a single board with no combo role tags, so combo conversion is weakly evidenced no rulings or interaction data for the once-per-turn and Damage Step timing clauses no top-card data ranking (not a Top Card)
