Final Psychic Ogre — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 48 ± 10 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 46 · Deck: 49 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Recovery/Recursion · Secondary: Boss/End-board
Why it scores here
The card's reliable output is one Psychic-type card returned from the Graveyard to hand, but only after it wins a battle and the controller pays 800 LP, so the value is conditional and costly. Its 2200 ATK and Level 5 body earn little by themselves. The 16-deck sample shows it is a consistent Vanquish Soul inclusion, which confirms practical accessibility, not intrinsic strength. The combo evidence is empty, so conversion and resilience rest on text inference and score lower.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 38 | Not a searcher and not drawn by text; reaches play through normal summon and deck partners in 16 of 16 decks (observed, deck evidence), with no combo starter data (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 30 | Converts a battle win into one Psychic recovery, with no recorded combo boards to confirm a larger line (inferred from text). |
| Resource Economy | 48 | Returns one card from the Graveyard per battle destruction at an 800 LP cost; no net-advantage or repeat-refuel data (verified text, inferred value). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | Has no negation, removal or hand-trap reach; interaction exists only through the battle-destruction trigger (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 40 | Level 5 Psychic body is a plausible material for Psychic routes, but no material role combo counts are supplied (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | The effect depends on winning a battle and is shut off by any negate on the body; no interaction or multi-zone evidence is supplied (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Two to three copies in a standard Level 5 body with no garnet or lock; 7 of 16 decks run 3 copies (observed, deck evidence). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Recovery/Recursion + 0.3 Boss/End-board (secondary blended per rubric). Intrinsic ≈ 46, Deck ≈ 49, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Reliable Psychic body that returns a Psychic from the Graveyard after a battle win
- Consistently included in the sampled Vanquish Soul decks (9 of 16 decks, 14 of 16 with the top partners) at 2 to 3 copies, so it is cheap to run
- Conditional but card-positive recovery with a clear, legible trigger
Weaknesses
- Requires the card to destroy an opponent's monster in battle, so it does nothing on defense or against effect-based removal
- 800 LP cost is a real price in races
- No recorded combo or starter data, so its conversion power is text-only
- Its 2200 ATK does not count toward the score
Counters / choke points
- Monster-effect negates and hand traps that shut off the body (inferred; no interaction data supplied)
- Board wipes or non-battle removal that avoids the battle trigger (inferred from text)
Best use
Psychic beatdown body with battle-triggered Graveyard recovery. Decks: Vanquish Soul. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Effect: on battle destruction of an opponent's monster, pay 800 LP to add a Psychic monster from the Graveyard to hand; Level 5 Effect Monster, EARTH Psychic, 2200 ATK / 1700 DEF; Legal in TCG, OCG, MasterDuel and DuelLinks
- Observed: Present in 16 of 16 sampled decks, all Main Deck, averaging 2 copies (distribution 1:7, 2:2, 3:7); Vanquish Soul is the main home (9 of 16 decks); 8 distinct archetypes overall; Co-occurs with Vanquish Soul Caesar Valius, Heavy Borger and Dr. Mad Love in 14 of 16 decks
- Inferred: Battle trigger makes it a conditional recovery rather than a searcher, so accessibility is moderate; Effect-based negates and hand traps would shut off the effect; Level 5 Psychic body is a plausible material for Psychic routes
- 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
