Future Visions — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 54 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 53.4 · Deck: 54.8 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Removal
Why it scores here
Future Visions converts each Normal Summon into a delayed banish-and-return, which gives a repeatable tempo loop rather than card advantage. It is live in 37 of the sampled decks across 14 archetypes, mostly at 2 to 3 copies, so accessibility and deck portability are real. The score stays near the middle because the combo sample is empty, the effect is card-neutral, and the banished monster is off-field until the controller's Standby Phase; the 1500 to 5000 ATK of the monsters it touches earns nothing.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Live in all 37 sampled decks at an average of 2.14 copies, with 19 decks at 3 copies, but it needs a Normal Summon to trigger (observed, inferred from text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | No recorded boards, so the conversion from one card into a board is text-only and modest; the strongest partners are Fortune Lady monsters at about 70% co-occurrence (inferred, observed partner rate). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | The banish-and-return is card-neutral, with no draw, search, or GY refuel in the text (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 55 | It answers any Normal Summon for one turn, on either player's side, as a soft tempo effect rather than a hard removal (verified text, inferred strength). |
| Material Utility | 30 | The banished monster is not used as material and the card gives no material value (verified text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | It is a single spell-zone card whose effect depends on staying face-up, with no redundancy in the text (inferred; no interaction data). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | A single spell slot with no garnet, lock, or brick restriction, and it fits 14 archetypes at 1 to 3 copies (observed deck spread). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Removal. Intrinsic ≈ 53.4, Deck ≈ 54.8, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Turns every Normal Summon into a delayed banish-and-return, a repeatable tempo loop
- Trigger applies to any Normal Summoned monster, so it also hits the opponent's Normal Summons
- Broadly live: 37 decks, 14 archetypes, 19 decks at 3 copies
- Clean, single-slot card with no garnet or lock cost
Weaknesses
- Trigger requires a Normal Summon, which narrows when it is useful
- The banished monster is off-field until the controller's next Standby Phase, a tempo cost
- No recorded combo data, so the board-conversion value is text-only
- Depends on staying face-up in the spell zone (inferred)
Counters / choke points
- Spell-zone or backrow removal of this card (inferred; no interaction data in evidence)
Best use
Extender with soft interaction on Normal Summons. Decks: Fortune Lady, Earthbound, Greed, Armed Dragon, Kashtira, Harpie, Solemn, Spellbook. Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Trigger: each time a monster is Normal Summoned, target it and banish it (card text); Return: during the next Standby Phase of the controller, it returns face-up in Attack Position (card text); Formats: TCG, OCG, MasterDuel (evidence); 37 of 37 sampled decks run it; 14 distinct archetypes (deck data)
- Observed: Average 2.14 copies per deck; 19 decks at 3 copies, 14 at 1 (deck data); Fortune Lady Light, Fortune Lady Water and Fortune's Future each co-occur in 26 of 37 decks, about 70% (deck data); Gameplay split 19 and 18 across two gameplay types (deck data)
- Inferred: Primary role is Extender: a repeatable delayed return that adds tempo, not card advantage; Secondary Removal role: a temporary answer to any Normal Summon, on either player's side; Relies on a face-up spell-zone presence, so it is exposed to backrow removal
- 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
