Gaia Power — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 42 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 41 · Deck: 42 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Utility
Why it scores here
Gaia Power is a passive stat buff: all EARTH monsters gain 500 ATK and lose 400 DEF. It converts no card into further value on its own, gains no card advantage, and provides no interaction, so its score rests on being a cheap, unrestricted, widely playable spell in 24 recent decks across 11 archetypes. Its high-looking stat changes earn no points, and the score stays in the 40s because the buff is symmetric and the card carries no recorded combo role.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 50 | Plain spell with 24 recent decks and partners such as Terraforming, but no searcher route is stated in the text and no combo starts were recorded (observed deck co-occurrence, inferred route). |
| Combo & Conversion | 20 | Text is a static buff with no board-building or extra-body effect, and there are zero recorded combos (verified text, no combo evidence). |
| Resource Economy | 15 | No draw, search, recursion or card advantage in the text, so it is a one-for-zero play with no return (verified text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 25 | Buffs and DEF reduction apply to the opponent's EARTH monsters too, so it is not disruption or removal (verified text, inferred impact). |
| Material Utility | 5 | A spell, so it is never material and offers no body value (verified card type). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 30 | Continuous effect with no recursion, and it can be stopped by spell negation or by removing the field (inferred from type). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | 1 to 3 copies per deck with a 1.83 average, no garnet or lock restriction, and no banlist token in the evidence (observed deck stats, verified legality across four formats). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Utility default (no clear role); no secondary role blended. Intrinsic ≈ 41, Deck ≈ 42, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Cheap to run: one or two copies, no garnet or lock restriction
- Appears in 24 recent decks across 11 archetypes, so it is portable across homes
- Legal in all four listed formats
Weaknesses
- Symmetric buff: it also strengthens and weakens opposing EARTH monsters
- No card advantage, search, recursion or interaction in the text
- No combo evidence, so its conversion is text-only inference
Counters / choke points
- Spell negation (inferred from card type, not evidenced in the pack)
- Removing or replacing the field, which ends a continuous effect (inferred)
Best use
Utility. Decks: Machina, Ancient Gears, Gate Guardian.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Text: all EARTH monsters gain 500 ATK and lose 400 DEF; Card type is Spell Card; no searcher or cost text present; 24 decks in the sample; 11 distinct archetypes
- Observed: Copies per deck: average 1.83, max 3, distribution 1:11, 2:6, 3:7; Top partners include Mirror Force (70.8%) and Terraforming (62.5%); Zero recorded combo appearances
- Inferred: Primary role is Utility; the buff is a passive stat modifier, not a starter or board breaker; Interaction and resilience scores come from the card type, not from a measured rate
- 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 the deck sample only card type 'Spell Card' conflicts with race 'Field'; the subtype is not confirmed by the evidence no rulings or timing data supplied
