Ghostrick Mansion — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 46 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 44 · Deck: 47 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Utility · Secondary: Floodgate/Control
Why it scores here
Ghostrick Mansion lands in the mid-40s because its continuous field effect is narrow and supportive rather than a conversion engine. Its text only restricts attacks into face-down Defense monsters and halves effect and non-Ghostrick battle damage. It does not draw, search, or serve as material, and its one recorded board shows it as a passive piece, not a starter. Its presence in 260 decks, mostly Ghostrick homes, confirms it is a practical staple, but that earns accessibility and deck fit rather than intrinsic power (guardrail 3).
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Present in 260 of the sampled decks at about 1.6 copies each and 100% inclusion in the Ghostrick gameplay-7 statistic, but no as_starter or as_searched appearances are recorded, so live access is shown only by deck count (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 30 | Only one recorded board (power index 49, starter count 1) and it is not a starter, material, or payoff piece; the field effect does not build a board by itself (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 20 | Spell with no draw, search, or recursion in its text, and the recorded board gives it no card-advantage role (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 40 | The attack restriction on face-down Defense monsters and the damage halving are soft, symmetrical interaction rather than removal or negation (verified). |
| Material Utility | 0 | A Spell Card cannot be used as material, so the body value is zero (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | A continuous field effect with no activation cost survives most single interruptions, but it is lost to field-zone removal and gives no multi-zone redundancy (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Typically one copy (149 of 260 decks) with no garnet or lock restriction, though it only pays off in Ghostrick-leaning builds (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Utility + 0.3 Floodgate/Control. Intrinsic ≈ 44, Deck ≈ 47, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Continuous field effect that needs no activation
- Restricts attacks into face-down Defense monsters and halves non-Ghostrick damage
- Broad practical deck presence in Ghostrick homes (260 decks)
Weaknesses
- Spell with no draw, search, material, or recursion value
- Only one recorded board, with no starter or searched role
- Its value depends on the Ghostrick engine around it
Counters / choke points
- Field-zone removal or replacement (inferred from its field placement)
Best use
Field support / soft floodgate in Ghostrick boards. Decks: Ghostrick (archetype 870), Ghostrick (archetype 1945), Ghostrick (archetype 1017). Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: attack restriction on face-down Defense monsters and halved effect and non-Ghostrick battle damage; Card type Spell Card, race Field, no monster body; 260 decks run it (1.62 copies average, 149 decks at 1 copy)
- Observed: 192 of 260 decks are Ghostrick archetype decks; 68 are other archetypes; StatisticsCard inclusion 100% in Ghostrick gameplay 7 at typical 1 copy; One combo appearance, not a starter, power index 49
- Inferred: Field-zone removal is the natural counter because the effect is continuous; Effect works as soft symmetric floodgate rather than removal
- Data gaps: no guides supplied no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) only one combo board, so combo conversion rests on a single sample no as_searched data to confirm a search route no rulings available to check interaction timing top_card_context has no ranking entries
