Dual Avatar Defeating Evil — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 50 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 46.7 · Deck: 51.8 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Removal / Negation · Secondary: Utility
Why it scores here
The card is a targeted Quick-Play removal spell that destroys one of your own Dual Avatar monsters plus one opponent card, with an optional draw or banish only when the destroyed monster is a Dual Avatar Fusion. It is consistently played (58 of 58 sampled decks, 1.9 copies on average, 100% inclusion in the main Dual Avatar archetype), which supports accessibility but does not raise its power by itself. High deck inclusion and the Fusion-conditioned bonus are weighed as a real but narrow value line, and the card's own-monster cost and archetype lock keep the score in the middle band.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Present in 58 of 58 recent decks at 1.9 copies on average, though no combo starter data confirms how often it is drawn (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | No recorded combo boards exist, so conversion relies only on the text: one removal, with a conditional draw or banish (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | A one-for-one removal that costs one of your own monsters, with a bonus only when a Dual Avatar Fusion is destroyed, so the trade is roughly even (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 45 | Destroys any opponent card, but it is a targeted spell that needs your own Dual Avatar monster on board and gives no negation (verified). |
| Material Utility | 10 | A spell card with no material or level value, so it contributes nothing as a body (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | Quick-Play allows a response, but it is limited to one activation per turn and needs a live Dual Avatar monster to target (verified). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 50 | Runs 1 to 3 copies inside a single archetype, which is a moderate slot commitment with no garnet lock recorded (observed). |
