Why it scores here
Feather Shot is a one-card Normal Spell that only gives one face-up Elemental HERO Avian an attack count equal to the monsters you control, with no direct attacks and a lockout on the other monsters. It converts an already-live Avian into extra battle damage or board clearing, but it has no searcher, no recovery and no card advantage, and it does not negate or remove anything. Its strength depends entirely on the Avian being on the field, so the score stays modest even though it appears in 11 decks alongside Avian (81.8% co-occurrence). The card's high-profile partners do not raise the score on their own.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Needs a face-up Avian already on the field and nothing in the text searches or recovers it, so it is live only in boards that already have Avian out (verified card text; observed 9 of 11 decks run Avian). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | The text gives a multi-attack finisher on one monster, but no combo boards were supplied to confirm how far it converts into a full board (inferred from text; combo data has 0 appearances). |
| Resource Economy | 20 | A single-card spell with no draw, search or GY refuel, so it is a 1-for-1 at best (verified card text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | No negation or removal; it only lets an attacker clear monsters through repeated attacks, which is situational interaction at most (verified card text). |
| Material Utility | 5 | A Spell cannot be used as material and the card has no body on the field, so the axis is near zero (verified card text, card frame spell). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 25 | The spell is one-shot and its value depends on a single target Avian that a single response can remove, with no recovery or redundancy (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | One copy, no garnet or lock and no restriction beyond running Avian, so it is clean to run in Avian-based decks (observed avg 1.09 copies per deck). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Utility + 0.3 Board breaker. Intrinsic ≈ 34, Deck ≈ 35, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Turns one live Avian into a multi-attack finisher that scales with the monsters you control
- Single copy, clean to run, no garnet or lock cost
- Fits four different archetype homes in the sample
Weaknesses
- Dead without a face-up Avian
- No searcher, recovery or card advantage
- No negation or removal, so it cannot stop the opponent's plays
Counters / choke points
- Any removal or negation on the targeted Avian before or during resolution
- Monster removal on the board, which cuts the number of monsters you control and so the attack count
Best use
Finisher: extra attacks for one face-up Avian. Decks: Elemental HERO (Heroic) builds that run Elemental HERO Avian, Elemental HERO builds in archetypes 92, 382 and 746 that run Avian. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Spell text: targets one face-up Elemental HERO Avian you control and grants it attacks equal to the monsters you control on resolution; Cannot attack directly; other monsters you control cannot attack this turn; Normal Spell, Elemental HERO archetype, legal in TCG, OCG, MasterDuel and DuelLinks
- Observed: Appears in 11 decks, avg 1.09 copies, 10 decks run one copy; Elemental HERO Avian co-occurs in 9 of 11 decks (81.8%); Distinct archetypes in sample: 4
- Inferred: Primary role is a finisher / attack-count extender, not a searcher or interaction card; Its value depends on a face-up Avian, so accessibility is limited to Avian boards
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) for this card legal copies is empty for every format
