Fortune's Future — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 56 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 52 · Deck: 58 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Recovery / Recursion · Secondary: Utility
Why it scores here
Fortune's Future converts a banished Fortune Lady monster into a net +1 card: it returns that monster to the Graveyard and draws 2, which is the card's real value. It scores on that recursion and draw, not on any interaction, which it lacks entirely. Its presence in 78 of 78 sampled decks (across three Fortune Lady homes) confirms it is reliably live, but that frequency is treated as consistency, not extra power, and no combo evidence was supplied to show what it builds into.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Needs a banished Fortune Lady monster as target, which the three Fortune Lady homes reliably provide; the 78-deck sample shows it live in all of them (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | No combo boards were supplied, so the conversion is text-only: draw 2 plus recursion of one monster, with no evidence of a larger board (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 75 | Returns one monster to the GY and draws 2, a net +1 card with a GY-to-hand refuel loop (verified from text, observed in decks). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card has no negation, removal or hand-trap reach (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 30 | No material or level/name use is stated, and no material role evidence was supplied, so the body's material value is not established (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | A Spell that depends on a banished target and cannot be used from the GY, so it can be stopped by one negate and does not recur on its own; redundancy comes only from the multi-copy deck run (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Runs 2.23 copies on average at no garnet cost, but it is tied to the Fortune Lady target pool, which restricts where it can go (observed, inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Recovery / Recursion primary, no secondary blend. Intrinsic ≈ 52, Deck ≈ 58, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Net +1 card advantage from a single GY-to-hand recursion plus draw 2
- Live in all 78 sampled decks across three Fortune Lady homes
- Cheap and splashable within its archetype, with 3-copy redundancy
Weaknesses
- Requires a banished Fortune Lady monster as the target
- No interaction, negation or board impact
- Narrow target pool ties it to Fortune Lady homes
Counters / choke points
- Negate or disruption that stops the Spell itself
- Opponent banish-removal or GY hate that denies the target

Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Targets one banished Fortune Lady monster, returns it to the GY, then draws 2 (card text); Present in 78 of 78 sampled decks, average 2.23 copies (deck data); Fortune Lady core partners at 73-100% co-occurrence (deck data)
- Observed: Live across three major Fortune Lady archetype homes (deck data); Typically 2-3 copies per deck (copies per deck distribution)
- Inferred: Net +1 card advantage from recursion plus draw 2 (from text); Limited resilience since it is a Spell with a banished-target condition (from text); Material value not established without combo or material role evidence
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only
