Elemental HERO Magma Neos — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 52 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 53 · Deck: 52 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Board breaker / Going-second · Secondary: Boss/End-board
Why it scores here
Magma Neos converts its Fusion summon into a 3000-ATK body, and its once-per-turn End Phase effect returns every card on the field to the hand, which is a real board reset. The summon needs Neos, Flare Scarab and Grand Mole on the field, and the deck evidence (145 decks, about 70% co-occurrence with Grand Mole) shows the line is practical in Neos-based decks. Its 3000 ATK and the +400 ATK per field card earn no points, and the reset costs its own board, so resource economy stays low. Frequency in decks confirms accessibility, not intrinsic power.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Needs three specific Neos-line cards on the field to Fusion summon; 145 decks run it and 70% of them also run Grand Mole (observed, verified by deck data). |
| Combo & Conversion | 50 | Text shows a 3000-ATK body that resets the field, but no recorded boards exist to confirm conversion (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 35 | The field-return effect hands back the player's own cards as well as the opponent's, so it nets little card advantage (inferred from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 60 | Once-per-turn board reset on End Phase is strong against a wide opposing board, but it cannot be used on the opponent's turn (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 25 | As a Fusion monster it is rarely a generic material, and its body only matters when the summon line is live (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Effect is once per turn and can be negated, but it can also return itself to the Extra Deck, which offers some protection (verified from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 40 | Single-copy Extra Deck slot (avg 1.06 copies), but it locks the deck into the Neos line (verified from deck data). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Board breaker + 0.3 Boss/End-board. Intrinsic ≈ 53, Deck ≈ 52, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Board reset that returns all field cards, which answers wide opposing boards
- Practical summon line with high deck co-occurrence in Neos decks (145 decks)
- Single-copy Extra Deck slot with a compact deckbuilding cost
Weaknesses
- Summon needs three specific Neos-line cards on the field
- Reset also returns the player's own board, so it costs tempo and resources
- Once-per-turn and End-Phase-only timing; no Your-turn-interaction on the opponent's turn
- Negation of the effect leaves a plain 3000-ATK body
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the card's effect
- Opponent boards that rebuild quickly after being returned
Best use
Board breaker / finisher in Neos-line Fusion decks. Decks: Heroic, Elemental Hero, Neo-Spacian. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Summon requires shuffling Neos, Flare Scarab and Grand Mole from the field into the Deck; Once per turn End Phase: shuffle into Extra Deck and return all field cards to the hand; 145 decks in sample; 70.3% co-occur with Neo-Spacian Grand Mole; 1.06 average copies
- Observed: Appears in Heroic (65 decks), Elemental Hero (10) and Neo-Spacian (5) lists
- Inferred: Field reset is a board breaker role; Reset returns the player's own board as well, limiting resource gain
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only no rulings or Master Duel / Duel Links specific resolution data supplied
