Your opponent cannot target "Palace of the Elemental Lords" you control with card effects, also it cannot be destroyed by card effects. Once per turn: You can Tribute 1 monster; Special Summon 1 "Elementsaber" monster from your Deck with a different original Attribute than that monster's. You can send this face-up card from the field to the GY; discard your entire hand, then add "Elemental Lord" monsters from your GY to your hand, equal to the number of cards discarded.
Elemental Training — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 49 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 46 · Deck: 51 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
The card reliably converts into one Elementsaber Deck Special Summon per turn, at the cost of a Tribute, and a GY-recursion option that discards the full hand to add Elemental Lords from the GY. Its protection of Palace of the Elemental Lords is narrow and adds little to the score. Its 3-archetype spread and 8-deck sample support a real home in Elementsaber, but no combo data exists, so the conversion value is text-inferred. High stats are not relevant here: nothing about the card's ATK or rarity earned points.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | A Continuous Trap that must be set or otherwise reached; no searcher or combo-start evidence is supplied, and it appears in 8 of 8 decks at 2.25 copies on average (observed, inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 50 | One Tribute plus one Deck Special Summon of an Elementsaber gives a single extra body per turn, with no observed board data to show more (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | The GY-send effect refills the hand by adding Elemental Lords equal to the number of discarded cards, which is card-neutral to positive but costs the whole hand (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 30 | Blocks targeting and destruction by card effects for only one named card, Palace of the Elemental Lords; it provides no negation or removal (verified). |
| Material Utility | 10 | A face-up Trap cannot be Material, and no Material evidence exists (verified from text, inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | The card itself has no protection, so a single destruction effect removes it; its GY-send effect works from the field across turns (verified from text, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Restricted to Elementsaber, with copies at 1 to 3 per deck and no garnet or lock on the rest of the deck (observed, inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 46, Deck ≈ 51, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Deck-to-field body from a Tribute, usable every turn
- GY recursion that refills the hand with Elemental Lords
- Strongly tied to Elementsaber partners (Lapauila Mana in 8 of 8 decks)
Weaknesses
- No searcher or combo evidence, so accessibility depends on being drawn or set
- Narrow protection: covers only Palace of the Elemental Lords
- Hand discard cost for the recursion option
- Does not interact with the opponent beyond the one-card protection
Counters / choke points
- Any card-effect destruction or targeting of the card itself
