Why it scores here
Flower Stacking is a Spell with no cost that places three differently named Flower Cardian monsters on top of the Deck and, from the Graveyard, banishes itself to add a Flower Cardian monster to hand. Its value is recurring Flower Cardian monsters from the Graveyard and controlling the next draws, so it converts into a steady monster supply inside its archetype. High ATK and the 'broken' tone in the guide did not earn points; the score is held down by zero combo evidence, zero interaction, zero material value, and the archetype lock.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | Present in 80 of 80 sampled decks at an average of 2.61 copies, and the Main Phase activation has no cost, so it is reliably live (observed); the Graveyard route is conditional on the card having been sent there (verified text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | No recorded boards exist (appearances 0), so conversion is text-only: it sets up draws and recurs one monster but does not build a board by itself (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 65 | The Graveyard effect spends the card itself to add a Flower Cardian monster, a +1 recovery from a dead card; the top-3 placement is card-neutral (verified text, inferred value). |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | No opponent interaction of any kind (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 0 | A Spell that cannot be used as material (verified card type). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 60 | Two effects in two zones (Deck and Graveyard) and the Graveyard route survives the card being played, but the once-per-turn limit and the 'not the turn it was sent' restriction cut the reliability (verified text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 40 | Cheap to run at 2–3 copies with no garnet, but the card is only useful with Flower Cardian monsters, and all top partners are Flower Cardian cards, so the archetype lock is real (observed from deck partners). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher + 0.3 Starter. Intrinsic ≈ 48, Deck ≈ 47, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Archetype lock (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Reliable 2–3 copy inclusion in 80 of 80 sampled decks, so it is consistently live in the archetype
- No-cost Spell with a Graveyard recursion route that returns a Flower Cardian monster to hand
- Top-3 placement lets the player choose which monsters come next, which gives control of draws
Weaknesses
- Zero recorded combo appearances, so board conversion is unmeasured
- No interaction, no material value and no Graveyard-independent search
- Only useful with Flower Cardian monsters; a full archetype lock
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the Spell in the Main Phase or in response to its Graveyard effect (inferred from text; no interaction evidence in the sample)
- Graveyard hate, which removes the Graveyard recursion route (inferred)
Best use
Searcher/Tutor and draw-control spell inside the Flower Cardian engine. Decks: Flower Cardian (archetype 655), Flower Cardian (archetype 323). Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: 3 differently named Flower Cardian monsters placed on top of the Deck; Graveyard effect banishes itself to add a Flower Cardian monster; once per turn; Card type is Spell, so it cannot be material; 80 of 80 decks run it, average 2.61 copies, 3 copies in 58 decks
- Observed: All top 15 partners are Flower Cardian cards; Recardination is in 100% of decks; Archetype concentration: 63.8% in archetype 655 and 15% in archetype 323
- Inferred: The Graveyard effect is a recursion route that gives a +1 from a dead card; Top-3 placement is a draw-control tool that enables the archetype's monster supply; Combo conversion is text-only because no boards were recorded
- Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo conversion is text-only inference No usage statistics (StatisticsCard): inclusion is from the 80-deck sample only No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) Archetype names duplicated: 655 and 323 are both 'Flower Cardian', and several entries are unnamed ('Không có') No rulings supplied for the 'choose 3 with different names' and once-per-turn interaction
