Monsters you control, except "Ghostrick" monsters, cannot attack. Monsters cannot attack face-down Defense Position monsters, but can attack directly if all monsters their opponent controls are face-down Defense Position. At the end of the Damage Step, change any monster that inflicted battle damage to a player during this battle to face-down Defense Position.
Ghostrick Museum — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 49 ± 7 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 46 · Deck: 51 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Floodgate/Control · Secondary: Utility
Why it scores here
Ghostrick Museum is a one-sided attack-control Field Spell: non-Ghostrick monsters you control cannot attack, and monsters cannot attack face-down Defense Position monsters unless every opposing monster is face-down Defense. Its power comes from the lock's interaction value and from being a near-mandatory single-copy piece in Ghostrick lists (97 of 97 sampled decks, 96.9% co-occurrence with Ghostrick Angel of Mischief and Ghostrick Dullahan). The 1500-level stat line and the 49 power index of the single observed board earn little on their own, and the score does not reward the high deck count beyond confirming accessibility. The card converts no card advantage and is not material, so the score stays in the low-to-mid range.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Played in 97 of 97 sampled decks at about 1.09 copies, but no searcher or starter route appears in combo data, so it is a staple that is drawn rather than searched (observed; route itself inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | The only observed board has power index 49 and no recorded combo role, so conversion is modest and mostly a support line for the Ghostrick board (observed, n=1). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | The text has no draw, search, refuel or banish clause, so the card generates no card advantage on its own (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 40 | The attack lock is continuous and one-sided within the Ghostrick board, and it blocks attacks into face-down Defense monsters, which is soft rather than hard interaction (verified text, inferred strength). |
| Material Utility | 5 | A Spell card cannot be used as material, so the only material-related value is zero (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | A Field Spell is removed only by spell-targeting or field-wipe effects, but a single negate ends its effect, and the card has no redundancy (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Runs at one copy in 89 of 97 decks and is archetype-locked, with a mild self-restriction because non-Ghostrick monsters cannot attack (observed, verified text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Floodgate/Control + 0.3 Utility. Intrinsic ≈ 46, Deck ≈ 51, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Self-locking restriction (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Near-universal inclusion in its home archetype (97 of 97 sampled decks), which confirms it is a real and practical piece.
- One-sided attack lock that protects Ghostrick attackers and punishes non-Defense-safe opposing boards.
- Single-copy cost keeps deckbuilding slots cheap.
Weaknesses
- Generates no card advantage, search, or refuel.
- Mostly inert outside Ghostrick, because it locks your own non-Ghostrick monsters.
- Only one recorded board in evidence, so combo conversion is thinly evidenced.
Counters / choke points
- Spell-destruction or field-wipe effects remove it directly.
- Negation of its effect ends the lock.
- Opponents with face-up attackers and no face-down Defense monsters are unaffected by the attack restriction.
Best use
Attack-control Field Spell for the Ghostrick board. Decks: Ghostrick (archetype 1945), Ghostrick (archetype 870). Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Monsters you control, except Ghostrick monsters, cannot attack (card text).; Monsters cannot attack face-down Defense Position monsters, but can attack directly if all opposing monsters are face-down Defense (card text).; At the end of the Damage Step, monsters that inflicted battle damage become face-down Defense (card text).; Spell card, Field race, no material value (card data).
- Observed: Present in 97 of 97 sampled decks, 1.09 copies on average (deck data).; 69.1% of decks are Ghostrick archetype 1945 and 12.4% are archetype 870 (deck data).; Top partners include Ghostrick Angel of Mischief and Ghostrick Dullahan at 96.9% each (deck data).; Single combo appearance, power index 49, with no recorded combo role (combo data).
- Inferred: Attack lock strength is soft, because it protects only against face-down Defense monsters.; Field Spell removal is limited to spell-targeting or field-wipe effects.; Accessibility is a drawn staple rather than a searched piece, since no searcher route appears in combos.
- Data gaps: no guides supplied no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion is inferred from the deck sample only combo sample is a single board with no recorded combo role, so combo conversion is weakly evidenced
