Dragunity Senatus — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 52 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 49 · Deck: 53 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Combo enabler · Secondary: Utility
Why it scores here
Senatus is a Level 4 Dragunity body whose main value is its discard-cost effect, which turns one Dragunity from hand into a Dragon Dragunity Tuner equipped from the Deck. It is consistently run: 400 of 400 sampled decks play it, averaging 2.44 copies, with strong co-occurrence with the Dragunity core. The 1800 ATK earns nothing; the score comes from access and conversion, and the Tuner is equipped rather than summoned, so it does not add a material body. Confidence is capped at Medium because no combo boards are recorded and the archetype list repeats the Dragunity name under several IDs.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Needs another Dragunity in hand as the discard cost, and is live in most Dragunity opening hands (400/400 decks run it, 3 copies typical) (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | Converts a discarded Dragunity into an equipped Dragon Tuner from the Deck, which is a card-to-field step but not a summoned body; no combo boards are recorded to confirm the follow-up (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | Roughly even: one card is discarded as cost and a Tuner is pulled from the Deck, so there is no net card advantage beyond the swap (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 35 | Only a self-protection replacement that destroys an equipped Dragunity in place of another Dragunity; no opponent-facing negate or removal (verified). |
| Material Utility | 40 | A Winged Beast Level 4 non-Tuner body whose equip effect does not add a summoned material; its material value is awkward and text-inferred (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | The replacement effect protects other Dragunity across battle and effect destruction, but it is once per turn and depends on an equipped Dragunity (verified). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 45 | Archetype-locked and needs Dragunity cards in hand, but it fits the core deck and is run at 3 copies with no garnet-style restriction (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Combo enabler + 0.3 Utility. Intrinsic ≈ 49, Deck ≈ 53, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: archetype-locked cost (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Near-universal inclusion in the sampled Dragunity decks (400/400), so access is reliable inside that build
- Turns a discarded Dragunity into a Dragon Tuner from the Deck without a summon
- Once-per-turn self-protection replacement for the Dragunity board
Weaknesses
- No opponent-facing interaction
- Requires a Dragunity card in hand as the discard cost
- Equipped Tuner does not add a summoned material body
- Little value outside Dragunity-based builds
Counters / choke points
- Hand traps or Ash Blossom-style effects that interrupt the discard-cost effect in hand
- Mass removal or graveyard-based disruption that clears the Dragunity board before the equip resolves
Best use
Combo enabler: discard to equip a Dragon Dragunity Tuner from the Deck, with self-protection for the Dragunity board. Decks: Dragunity. Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: discard 1 Dragunity to equip a Dragon Dragunity Tuner from the Deck, once per turn; Card text: destroy an equipped Dragunity in place of another Dragunity destroyed by battle or card effect; Level 4 WIND Winged Beast Effect Monster, 1800 ATK / 600 DEF, Dragunity archetype
- Observed: Included in 400 of 400 sampled decks, average 2.44 copies, 3 copies in 239 decks; Top partners include Dragon Ravine (97%) and Dragunity Legatus (95%); Gameplay 7 in 74.8% of sampled decks
- Inferred: An equipped Tuner is not summoned and does not add a material body; Discard-cost access depends on Dragunity cards already in hand; Dragunity deck fit is high because the card is part of the core build, not an independent power source
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion is from the deck sample only archetype list repeats the Dragunity name under IDs 731, 244, 122 and 560, so distinct archetypes (32) overstates portability no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited)
