Fiend Reflection of the Millennium — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 59 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 58 · Deck: 59 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Utility, Material body
Why it scores here
The card reliably turns a hand card into a face-up Continuous Spell at no cost and then, once per turn, Special Summons itself when the opponent activates a card or effect, gaining LP equal to half the ATK of a monster. It is a single body with a small LP gain, so it converts into a board presence rather than a full combo. The 1300 ATK, 1400 DEF and Level 4 frame earn nothing directly; the score comes from access from hand, a generic Level 4 body and a low-cost slot. No combo data was supplied, so combo conversion rests on text alone.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 75 | Can be placed from hand as a Continuous Spell with no cost, and it is in all 400 sampled decks across 45 archetypes at 1.32 copies on average (verified/observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | The text yields one body plus LP gain when the opponent activates an effect; no recorded board shows it as a starter, searched, material or payoff piece (inferred, no combo data). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | No card advantage, search or GY refuel; the only value is LP gain tied to the ATK of a monster on the field (verified text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 30 | Does not negate or destroy; it only protects itself in battle and summons itself in response to an activation, which is soft interaction (verified text, inferred strength). |
| Material Utility | 55 | A Level 4 WIND Illusion body that remains usable as material even when its effects are negated, though its 1300 ATK is low (verified stats, inferred use). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 60 | Usable from hand and from the Spell & Trap Zone, with a once-per-turn effect for each use; it is still exposed to negation of its own effects (verified text, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Single-copy typical, no garnet or lock restriction, and a near-free slot in mainline Millennium and Exodia lists (observed from deck copies distribution, 80.5% of decks run it in gameplay type 7). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Starter / Combo enabler primary weights; no secondary blend applied. Intrinsic ≈ 58, Deck ≈ 59, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Free to place from hand as a Continuous Spell, so it is accessible in most opening hands.
- Summons itself in response to an opponent activation, which gives a reactive body without spending a card.
- Runs in 400 of 400 sampled decks across 45 archetypes, with strong co-occurrence with Exodia pieces and Millennium Ankh.
Weaknesses
- Gives no card advantage, search or recursion beyond its own body.
- 1300 ATK and 1400 DEF are low; the body is weak on its own.
- Its summon depends on the opponent activating something, so it is not reliable on the player's own turn.
- No combo data was supplied, so its contribution to boards cannot be measured.
Counters / choke points
- Negation or hand-based interaction that stops its activation or the Continuous Spell placement (inferred).
Best use
Reactive body and LP gain from hand or S/T in decks that already hold Millennium or Exodia pieces. Decks: Millennium, Exodia, Phantom Beast (Chimera). Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 4 WIND Illusion Effect Monster, 1300 ATK / 1400 DEF, Millennium archetype (card data).; Can be placed from hand as a face-up Continuous Spell (card text).; Special Summon and LP gain equal to half the ATK of 1 monster on the field when the opponent activates an effect while it is a Continuous Spell (card text).; Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks; 1.32 copies average; 45 distinct archetypes (deck data).
- Observed: Gameplay type 7 accounts for 80.5% of sampled decks (deck data).; Top partners include S:P Little Knight (63.8%) and Millennium Ankh (52%) (deck data).
- Inferred: The card works as a reactive body rather than an interaction piece, so its power comes from access and the body, not from disruption.; Its material value is generic because it is a Level 4 body that stays usable when blanked.
- 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
