Flower Cardian Clover with Boar — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 56 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 54 · Deck: 57 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Removal, Material body
Why it scores here
The card is a Level 7 DARK Warrior whose body is only reachable by tributing a Flower Cardian from the field, so its value is a net draw plus a conditional board-clearing destroy inside one archetype. Its 1000 ATK and Level 7 earn nothing on their own. Its near-universal presence in the sampled decks (119 of 119, 2.36 copies average) confirms it is a structural piece of the archetype, not a generic staple, and that presence is the basis for its synergy score rather than its ATK. No combo boards were supplied, so the conversion and interaction scores rest on text plus deck partner data.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | Reachable from hand whenever a Flower Cardian is on the field, and it appears in 119 of 119 sampled decks with a 3-copy max, but it has no combo-verified starter or searched role. (observed) |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | The text converts one tribute into one 1000-ATK body plus a draw, and a conditional destroy, but no combo boards were supplied to confirm how far it converts. (inferred) |
| Resource Economy | 60 | Tribute costs one field Flower Cardian and the summon draws one card, so the card roughly breaks even on bodies with a card gain attached. (verified) |
| Effect & Interaction | 50 | The destroy is conditional on the draw being a Flower Cardian and is optional, so it is soft interaction rather than reliable removal. (verified) |
| Material Utility | 45 | A Level 7 DARK Warrior is a usable material body, but the card cannot be Normal Summoned and its material value is not evidenced in the combo data. (inferred) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | The body and its draw depend on a single on-summon trigger, so a negate of that trigger leaves only a 1000-ATK body; no redundancy is evidenced. (inferred) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 45 | It takes one slot in a single-archetype deck with 2-3 copies and a Special-Summon-only restriction that locks it to Flower Cardian bodies. (observed) |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Removal. Intrinsic ≈ 54, Deck ≈ 57, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: self-locking restriction (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Draws a card on every summon, so it converts a tribute into card flow.
- The archetype's near-universal inclusion makes it a reliable part of the line.
- Conditional destroy adds removal when the draw hits a Flower Cardian.
Weaknesses
- No ATK or stat value earns points; its power depends on the archetype's engine.
- Requires a Flower Cardian on the field to tribute, so it is dead without that body.
- The removal is conditional and optional, not reliable interaction.
Counters / choke points
- Negating the on-summon effect leaves only a 1000-ATK body.
- Board-wipe or mass-removal effects remove the Flower Cardian bodies it needs to tribute.
Best use
Extender with conditional removal, Special-Summoned through a Flower Cardian tribute. Decks: Flower Cardian. Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set; must be Special Summoned from hand by tributing one Flower Cardian other than itself.; On Special Summon it draws one card; if that card is a Flower Cardian, it may destroy one opponent monster; otherwise it is sent to the Graveyard.; Present in 119 of 119 sampled decks, average 2.36 copies, maximum 3.
- Observed: 75.6% of sampled decks use the Flower Cardian archetype (655); 12.6% use archetype 323.; Top partners include Flower Cardian Pine, Zebra Grass and Cherry Blossom with Curtain at 97-100% co-occurrence.
- Inferred: Its role is an extender that converts a tribute into a body and a draw, with conditional removal.; Its material value is limited to a Level 7 DARK Warrior body that is not evidenced in combo data.
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no rulings or metagame sample supplied — meta_power left null
