Garma Sword Oath — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 37 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 39 · Deck: 40 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Combo enabler · Secondary: Searcher/Tutor
Why it scores here
Garma Sword Oath is a Ritual Spell whose only stated function is to Ritual Summon Garma Sword while tributing monsters totaling Level 7 or more from the field or hand. It converts into value only when the Ritual monster and the Level 7 tribute package are both already available, and the evidence contains no searcher, combo or counter data showing that this happens reliably. The card's 2 recent decks and 2 copies each confirm it is played, but the score comes from the text and the thin deck sample rather than from its popularity, and its high-level tribute requirement and fragile spell body keep the score low.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 40 | Live only with the Ritual monster and Level 7 tributes already in hand or on field, and no searcher route is evidenced; 2 decks run it with 2 copies each, all with Centur-Ion partners (verified text, observed deck stat, inferred route). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | The text lets it Ritual Summon Garma Sword, but no combo boards show what that body builds into, so the conversion is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 20 | Costs a card and a Level 7 tribute package for a single Ritual Summon, with no recorded refuel or card advantage (verified text, inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | It is a Ritual Spell with no negation, removal or hand-trap reach stated in its text (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 30 | A Spell card is never Ritual or Fusion material, so this axis reflects only the body it summons, not the card itself (verified text, inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | A face-up Spell card that a single spell-counter or negate can end, with no redundancy shown in the evidence (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 50 | Two copies in two decks is cheap, but it is a dead card without a Ritual monster and a Level 7 tribute package, which is a mild restriction (observed deck stat, inferred restriction). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Starter / Combo enabler primary (Searcher not blended: no searcher evidence); secondary role recorded but not blended. Intrinsic ≈ 39, Deck ≈ 40, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: brick risk (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck, then modifier applied (decks present, combos absent, meta unknown)
Strengths
- Two live decks run it at full 2-copy count
- Its Ritual Summon can reach a Garma Sword body when the requirements are met
- Partners are consistent across both decks, which points to a real home
Weaknesses
- Dead without a Ritual monster and Level 7 tributes
- No searcher or combo evidence to confirm reliable access
- Spell body with no interaction or resilience
Counters / choke points
- Any spell or Ritual-stopping negate, which the evidence does not list

Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: Ritual Summon Garma Sword, tribute monsters totaling Level 7 or more from field or hand; Spell Card, Ritual race, formats TCG OCG MasterDuel DuelLinks
- Observed: 2 of 2 recent decks run 2 copies, split across Crimson Dragon and Centur-Ion
- Inferred: Ritual route needs a Ritual monster already in hand and a Level 7 tribute package
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion is inferred from the 2-deck sample Garma Sword's own level and stats are not in the evidence, so the Level 7 requirement cannot be checked against its body no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited)
