If a "Dracoslayer" monster, that is not a Pendulum Monster, and a "Dracoverlord" monster are on the field: Shuffle as many cards on the field as possible into the Deck, then you can Special Summon 1 "Dracoslayer" or "Dracoverlord" monster from your Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions.
Forge of the True Dracos — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 49 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 47 · Deck: 50 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Combo enabler · Secondary: Boss/End-board
Why it scores here
The card converts a board that already holds a Dracoslayer and a Dracoverlord into one Special Summon of a Dracoslayer or Dracoverlord from the Deck, ignoring summoning conditions, at the cost of shuffling the field back into the Deck. It is conditional on a specific field state, has no recorded combo appearances, and its own effect costs the board, so the score comes from a practical but narrow conversion rather than from ATK or popularity. Its 16-deck presence and strong partner co-occurrence (81% with Luster Pendulum and Draco Face-Off) confirm it is a real, cheap, and played support spell, but they do not lift the score past the middle of the scale.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 40 | Spell that needs a specific two-monster field before it works, with no searcher or combo evidence to make it reliably live (inferred; 16 decks observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | Text converts a set-up field into one ignition summon, but combo data has 0 boards, so the conversion is text-only (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | Spell is spent for one summoned body and the field is shuffled back, giving roughly even exchange with no recursion or search (inferred from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 45 | Mass field shuffle can disrupt the board when conditions are met, but the effect is conditional and gives no lasting interaction (inferred from text). |
| Material Utility | 25 | Its only body is a Dracoslayer or Dracoverlord from the Deck, not a material provider in itself (inferred from text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | A single normal Spell that needs two specific monsters on field; one negate ends the line and no redundancy is shown (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Runs 1.19 copies on average across 16 decks, a small slot cost with no garnet or lock restriction (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Combo enabler + 0.3 Boss/End-board. Intrinsic ≈ 47, Deck ≈ 50, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Turns a set-up Dracoslayer and Dracoverlord board into a single ignition summon of either archetype
- Cheap to run: 1.19 copies per deck on average across 16 decks
- Strong partner fit with Luster Pendulum and Draco Face-Off (81% co-occurrence)
Weaknesses
- Needs a specific two-monster field before it does anything
- Shuffles own field back into the Deck, so it costs board presence
- No recorded combo boards, so real conversion power is unconfirmed
- Dependent on the Dracoslayer and Dracoverlord archetypes for every use
Counters / choke points
- Any normal Spell negation in response to activation (inferred from text)
- Opponent removal or bounce that breaks the required two-monster field before activation (inferred)
Best use
Combo enabler: resets a Dracoslayer/Dracoverlord field into one ignition summon. Decks: Dracoslayer, Majespecter, Vaalmonica. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: requires a non-Pendulum Dracoslayer and a Dracoverlord on field, shuffles field cards into the Deck, then Special Summons one Dracoslayer or Dracoverlord from the Deck ignoring its Summoning conditions; Legal in TCG, OCG and MasterDuel formats
- Observed: Appears in 16 recent decks, 1.19 copies on average (13 at 1 copy, 3 at 2); Runs in 13 distinct archetypes; 62.5% of decks are gameplay type 7; Co-occurs with Luster Pendulum, the Dracoslayer and Draco Face-Off in 81.2% of its decks; Appears in 0 recorded combo boards
- Inferred: Access depends on a specific two-monster field; no searcher evidence exists; Effect converts a set-up field into one summon with roughly even resource exchange; Field shuffle is inferred to affect both sides because the text says 'the field'; this should be confirmed; Modest overall power: a conditional, narrow conversion rather than a strong engine
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard): inclusion inferred from the 16-deck sample only card text does not state whether 'the field' includes the opponent's field; scoring assumes it may no rulings or Rush Duel data supplied
