Dragunity Quirinus — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 53 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 54 · Deck: 53 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor · Secondary: Extender
Why it scores here
Dragunity Quirinus is a Level 4 Dragunity body whose value is its on-summon search for a Dragunity Spell/Trap and its once-per-turn bounce-then-Special-Summon reuse of a Dragunity monster, so it converts into support and tempo rather than board presence. It is a Dragunity-locked engine piece with no opponent interaction, and its 1200 ATK earns nothing. The 191 deck inclusions at 3 copies confirm it is a consistent part of the Dragunity shell, but that frequency is not used to raise the score.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 72 | Reliably reachable: 191 of 191 sampled decks run it at 3 copies (avg 2.98), and its on-summon search fetches a Dragunity Spell/Trap, but no searched-for role or starter role counts exist to confirm the route in boards (observed frequency plus inferred route). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | Text describes a search plus a bounce-and-Special-Summon re-use, which can add a body or a Dragunity Spell/Trap from a single summon, but there are zero recorded boards or examples to confirm the conversion (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | The search is a +1 card gain once per turn and the bounce-and-Special-Summon nets zero cards with a tempo gain, so the economy is positive but not repeated refuel (verified from card text, inferred magnitude). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | No opponent-facing negation, removal, or disruption; the only protective text is battle-indestructibility for own Dragunity monsters while equipped (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 50 | A Level 4 WIND Winged Beast non-Tuner is a generic material body that remains a Level 4 Winged Beast when its effects are negated, but it is not a Tuner and is unremarkable as a material (verified from card stats, inferred value). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Both effects are once per turn each and both are negated by a single effect negation, so the card has one-turn redundancy in its effects but no multi-turn or multi-zone durability (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Three copies in a Dragunity shell with no stated garnet or lock clause and no Level or race restriction beyond Dragunity-only text; the card costs a deck slot in a dedicated engine (observed plus inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher/Tutor + 0.3 Extender. Intrinsic ≈ 54, Deck ≈ 53, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: archetype lock (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- On-summon search for a Dragunity Spell/Trap adds a card once per turn
- Bounce-and-Special-Summon re-uses a Dragunity monster for tempo without card loss
- Level 4 WIND Winged Beast body is a generic material even when its effects are negated
- Run at 3 copies across 191 sampled decks, so the route is consistently available
Weaknesses
- No opponent interaction or negation
- Dead outside a Dragunity shell because its effects and clauses require Dragunity monsters
- Two once-per-turn effects give limited repeatability
- 1200 ATK and 1200 DEF earn no points
- No recorded combo boards to confirm conversion
Counters / choke points
- Hand traps or effect negation on the summon trigger, which shuts off both once-per-turn effects
- Opponent interaction that targets the Dragunity monster it bounces
Best use
Searcher for Dragunity Spell/Trap support, plus a bounce-and-Special-Summon extender for Dragunity monsters. Decks: Dragunity. Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 4 WIND Winged Beast Effect Monster, 1200 ATK / 1200 DEF, Dragunity archetype (card stats); On Normal or Special Summon, add 1 Dragunity Spell/Trap from Deck to hand, once per turn (card text); Target 1 other Dragunity monster you control, return it to hand or Extra Deck, then Special Summon 1 Dragunity monster from hand, once per turn (card text); Dragunity monsters cannot be destroyed by battle while this card is equipped with an Equip Card (card text); Run in 191 of 191 sampled decks at 3 copies, average 2.98 (deck data)
- Observed: Partners Dragunity Remus, Dragunity Falchion, Dragon Ravine and Dragunity Divine Wind each appear in 100% of its decks (deck data); Inclusion 100% in Mist Valley, Crystal Beast and Dragunity (560) usage statistics at 3 copies (usage statistics)
- Inferred: The search and the bounce-and-Special-Summon are a practical two-part engine within a Dragunity shell (text plus deck fit); Negating the summon trigger shuts off both once-per-turn effects (text reading)
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) legal copies is empty for both formats average starter count when present unavailable: DeckResilience is estimated distinct archetypes is inflated by archetype-tag fragmentation of the Dragunity name, so GenericUtility is capped
