Fire Formation - Tensu — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 47 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 44 · Deck: 49 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Utility
Why it scores here
Tensu's value is a once-per-turn extra Normal Summon of a Beast-Warrior in Main Phase, plus a field-wide +100 ATK. That converts hand bodies into one extra board presence, but it is a Continuous Spell with no card advantage and no interaction, so it scores low on resource and interaction. The high deck count (271 decks, 96.3% alongside Fire Formation - Tenki) confirms it is a fixture of the Fire Formation shell; it does not, by itself, show the card is intrinsically strong. The 100 ATK bonus earned almost nothing, and combo evidence is absent, so conversion is text-inferred.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Present in 271 sampled decks across 47 archetype homes, with copies averaging 1.96 per deck, but no combo starter/searched stats are supplied to show how reliably it is drawn (observed, inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | Text grants one extra Normal Summon and a field-wide +100 ATK, but no combo boards or power index data are available to confirm what it builds (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | No draw, search, banish, or recursion; it is a 1-for-1 spell that adds a summon rather than card advantage (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 8 | No negation, removal, or hand-trap effect; it provides no opponent interaction (verified). |
| Material Utility | 10 | A Spell card with no material value, so it contributes no body as material (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Continuous Spell on the field is exposed to generic spell/trap removal, and the once-per-turn clause limits repeat use; redundancy comes from 1–3 copies per deck (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Cheap to run at 1–3 copies with no garnet or lock, and its Beast-Warrior restriction fits several archetypes (observed, inferred). |

Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Once-per-turn extra Normal Summon of a Beast-Warrior in Main Phase; All Beast-Warrior monsters gain 100 ATK; Continuous Spell with no draw, search, or negation text
- Observed: Present in 271 sampled decks with copies averaging 1.96; 96.3% co-occurrence with Fire Formation - Tenki
- Inferred: Extender role with a secondary Utility role; Reliance on the Fire Formation shell for conversion
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) usage statistics covers only one archetype (Yosenju), so the inclusion signal is weak no rulings or interaction evidence supplied
