Flower Gathering — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 53 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 52 · Deck: 53 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Flower Gathering converts a single Spell into four Flower Cardian bodies Special Summoned from the Deck, which is a board-building starter. The sampled decks run it heavily and it co-occurs with the archetype's core partners, so it is reliably live, but no recorded combo evidence confirms the conversion, so the combo axis is inference-heavy. The score is held down by the archetype lock, the same-turn summon restriction, the Tribute prohibition and the negated bodies, not by ATK or popularity.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 65 | Live in 107 of 107 sampled decks at 2.26 average copies, but no combo-observed searcher or opening-hand route is recorded (observed for deck share, inferred for routes). |
| Combo & Conversion | 60 | Text gives four bodies from one card, but no combo boards or power index data show what those bodies enable (inferred from text). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | Four Deck-to-field bodies from one card is a board gain, but no draw, refuel or net advantage figure is supplied (inferred from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No opponent interaction in the text; the only restriction limits the controller's own summons (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 45 | Bodies are effect-negated and cannot be Tributed, which cuts their value; their Level and attribute are not in the evidence (verified from text, gap noted). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Single-copy spell with no recovery text; spreads to four bodies across the field but has no redundancy in the evidence (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 40 | Archetype-locked and restricts same-turn summons outside Flower Cardian, which costs slots in non-archetype decks (verified from text, with 3-copy typical use observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 52, Deck ≈ 53, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Self-locking restriction (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Four bodies from a single Spell, all from the Deck
- Live across the sampled Flower Cardian decks at 100% partner co-occurrence (observed)
- Typical copy count of 3 in the archetype stats (observed)
Weaknesses
- Archetype-locked; only Flower Cardian monsters are summonable the turn it resolves
- Bodies are effect-negated and cannot be Tributed, limiting material value
- No combo evidence recorded to confirm the conversion
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the Spell's activation (inferred from text)

Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Special Summons 4 Flower Cardian monsters with different names from the Deck, 100 ATK, Attack Position, effects negated, not Tributable; Once per turn; blocks other non-Flower Cardian summons the activation turn
- Observed: Present in 107 sampled decks, 85 of them Flower Cardian archetype (655 and 323); Partner co-occurrence of 100% with the archetype's core Flower Cardian monsters; Usage statistics: 100% inclusion in Flower Cardian gameplay type 7, typical copies 3
- Inferred: Starter role from the Deck-to-field body generation; Live-route accessibility inferred from deck share, not from recorded searches
- Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference No banlist token; 3 copies assumed Level, attribute and material eligibility of the negated summoned bodies not in evidence No searcher or opening-hand routes recorded
