Face Card Fusion — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 54 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 51.5 · Deck: 56 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler
Why it scores here
Face Card Fusion converts a hand or field of materials into one LIGHT Warrior Fusion Monster, and with Queen's, King's or Jack's Knight on the field it can also pull one monster from the Deck as material. The card's real value is that it is a once-per-turn Fusion enabler whose extra-material clause depends on Knights that 95% of its decks already run. High deck count and 1.69 average copies confirm it is a consistently played staple, but that frequency does not by itself make it strong. No combo boards were supplied, so conversion is text-based inference and the score is capped at Medium confidence.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | Live from hand in 203 of 203 decks, 1.69 copies average, with 95.6% of decks also running Queen's Knight (observed, verified). |
| Combo & Conversion | 60 | Text says it makes one LIGHT Warrior Fusion from hand or field, with an extra Deck material clause when a Knight is controlled; no combo boards were supplied (verified, inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | Spends two or more cards as Fusion materials to make one body with no search or refuel, so it is card-disadvantage on its own (verified, inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card has no negation, removal or hand-trap effect (verified). |
| Material Utility | 0 | It is a Spell and cannot be used as material, so the body-value axis scores zero (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | It is a Spell that can be negated, and the once-per-turn limit makes each copy a single-use answer; multiple copies add some redundancy (verified, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Non-garnet and playable in three copies, but it relies on Knight partners and a LIGHT Warrior Fusion in the Extra Deck, which limits how freely it can be run (observed, inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Starter / Combo enabler primary; no secondary blend applied. Intrinsic ≈ 51.5, Deck ≈ 56, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Accessible from hand in nearly every deck it appears in (203 of 203 decks)
- Gives a once-per-turn Fusion route into LIGHT Warrior Fusion Monsters
- Extra Deck material clause with Knights that are already common partners
Weaknesses
- No search, refuel or negation effect of its own
- Costs multiple cards for one body, so it is card-disadvantage
- Its extra-material clause depends on controlling a Knight
- Once per turn, and it is a Spell, so hand traps and negations can stop it
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the Spell (a standard hand trap or set trap)
- Board disruption that strips Knights before the activation
Best use
Starter / Combo enabler. Decks: Knight-based Fusion lines in Egyptian God, Three Musketeers and Utopia. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: Fusion Summon 1 LIGHT Warrior Fusion Monster from Extra Deck using hand or field materials; Card text: Knight-based extra Deck material clause; once per turn; 203 decks run it in main deck, 1.69 copies average
- Observed: Queen's Knight, King's Knight and Jack's Knight co-occur in 94 to 96% of decks
- Inferred: Acts as a Starter / Combo enabler rather than a Searcher or a Material body; Net card cost of roughly two cards for one Fusion body
- 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 deck sample only
