Why it scores here
Extra Pendulum is a once-per-turn Main Phase Spell that grants one extra Pendulum Summon from the Extra Deck. Its value is conversion: it turns an existing Pendulum board into more Extra Deck monsters, but it does not search, draw, or create card advantage on its own. The deck evidence confirms it is a near-universal single-copy staple in Pendulum shells (400/400 decks, 26 archetypes, top 3 archetypes about 80% of the sample), which supports its accessibility and deck fit, but that frequency is not counted as power. No combo, guide, or usage-statistics data was supplied, so the conversion score rests on text plus deck co-occurrence and confidence is Medium.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 40 | It is a non-searchable Spell that must be drawn, and the partner data shows co-occurrence with searchers and recyclers such as Foolish Burial and Called by the Grave, not confirmed search routes (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | Its text adds one extra Pendulum Summon per turn from the Extra Deck, which extends a Pendulum board, but no recorded board examples exist to confirm the size of that extension (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | No card advantage, refuel, or cost is stated; it trades one card for one extra summon, which is roughly even tempo (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | It has no negation, removal, or disruption effect (verified). |
| Material Utility | 5 | It is a Spell and cannot be used as material, so the body value is zero (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | Its once-per-turn use and single zone make it fragile to hand traps and discard, with no redundancy or recovery text (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 65 | It takes one slot at 1.06 average copies, with no garnet, lock, or brick restriction, and is run in 384 of 400 decks at one copy (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Extender profile (primary only; no secondary role). Intrinsic ≈ 45, Deck ≈ 49, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Adds one extra Pendulum Summon per turn from the Extra Deck, which directly converts a Pendulum board into more monsters.
- Near-universal single-copy inclusion in Pendulum decks (400/400 decks) with low deck-slot cost.
- Clean, unambiguous text with a single once-per-turn limit.
Weaknesses
- No search, draw, or card advantage; it does nothing without an existing Pendulum board.
- Narrow utility: the deck sample is almost entirely Pendulum archetypes (Supreme King, Odd-Eyes, Performapal), so it has little value outside them.
- Spell-only with no interaction, so it cannot answer the opponent's board or protect itself.
Counters / choke points
- Hand traps and discard effects that remove it from hand before it is used.
- Interruptions to the Pendulum Summon it extends (negation of the Pendulum Summon itself).
Best use
Extra Pendulum Summon extender in Pendulum shells. Decks: Supreme King Pendulum, Odd-Eyes Pendulum, Performapal Pendulum. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Once-per-turn Main Phase Spell granting one extra Pendulum Summon from the Extra Deck (card text).; Run in 400 of 400 sampled decks, with 384 at one copy and average 1.06 copies (deck stat).; Spread across 26 distinct archetypes, with the top three holding about 80% of decks (deck stat).
- Observed: Partner co-occurrence with Astrograph Sorcerer at 93.8% and Foolish Burial at 63.2% (deck stat).; Gameplay type 7 accounts for 97.8% of decks (deck stat).
- Inferred: Its value is conversion of an existing Pendulum board, with no independent card advantage (text plus rule reasoning).; Accessibility depends on drawing it, since no searcher targets it in the evidence (text plus absence of search data).
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard): archetype inclusion inferred from the deck sample only no top-card ranking data supplied (is_top_card false with no rankings)
