Exiled Force — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 59 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 59.9 · Deck: 57.9 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Removal · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Exiled Force is a generic Level 4 Warrior whose only function is to tribute itself to destroy one monster on the field, a one-for-one trade that adds no board on its own. Its score comes from that removal being unconditional by the printed text and from its near-free deckbuilding cost, while the 69-archetype spread and high partner rates confirm it is a real, practical staple rather than a niche pick. Its 1000 ATK earned nothing, and the 331-deck count confirms accessibility and fit, not intrinsic strength, so resource economy and resilience stay mid-to-low.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 48 | Not a searcher; it is reached by drawing it, and 274 of 331 decks run a single copy (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | Its text is a single-target destroy paid by tributing itself, so it converts one-for-one with no board added; no combo data was supplied (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | Self-tribute for one monster is an even card trade with no graveyard refuel or search (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 60 | Destroys any one monster on the field with no once-per-turn or summon-type limit stated in the text, but it works only from the field (verified). |
| Material Utility | 60 | A generic Level 4 Warrior EARTH body that fits common Level 4 material requirements; the text gives no material-specific clause (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Field-only and single-purpose: once used it is gone, and the text states no recursion or second zone (verified). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 85 | No garnet, lock, or self-restriction appears in the text, and it runs at one copy in most decks (verified). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Removal + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 59.9, Deck ≈ 57.9, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Destroys any one monster on the field with no once-per-turn or summon-type limit stated in the text
- Generic Level 4 Warrior EARTH body that fits common Level 4 material requirements
- Real staple across 69 archetypes (331 decks), with high partner rates (Heavy Storm 80.4%, Nobleman of Crossout 76.4%)
- Near-free to run: one copy in most decks, no garnet or lock clause
Weaknesses
- Only works from the field, so it does nothing from hand
- Tribute cost is a one-for-one trade with no refuel or search
- No recursion or second zone stated, so it is spent after one use
- Low combo conversion: it adds no board on its own
Counters / choke points
- Generic monster-removal responses in the opponent's hand (inference; no counter data was supplied)

Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Text: You can Tribute this card to target 1 monster on the field; destroy that target.; Level 4, EARTH, Warrior, 1000 ATK / 1000 DEF; Copies per deck: avg 1.2, 274 of 331 decks run one copy
- Observed: 331 decks across 69 archetypes; Partner rates: Heavy Storm 80.4%, Nobleman of Crossout 76.4%; Usage statistics: Gadgets 100% inclusion, Gouki 100%, Nephthys 57% (3 archetypes only)
- Inferred: Primary role is Removal: the effect is a single-target destroy paid by self-tribute; Secondary Material body role from the generic Level 4 body; Accessibility is draw-dependent because the card has no searcher route in the evidence
- Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo conversion and starter/material shares are text-only inference No guides supplied legal copies lists only the goat format; banlist status in TCG, OCG, MasterDuel and DuelLinks is not supplied usage statistics covers only 3 archetypes Card text states no timing or speed, so timing reliability is inferred rather than confirmed
