Gladiator Beast Alexander — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 38 ± 10 · Confidence: Low
- Intrinsic: 41 · Deck: — · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
The 2400 ATK and Level 6 body earn nothing on their own. The card is only reachable through a Special Summon condition that requires "Gladiator Beast Dimacari", and that enabler is absent from the evidence, so access is the main limit. Once on the field, its battle-triggered effect swaps itself for another Gladiator Beast from the Deck, which is roughly card-neutral and does not by itself build a board. No decks, combos or guides were supplied, so the Low confidence means this score is provisional and rests on the card text alone.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 30 | Cannot be Special Summoned except by the effect of Gladiator Beast Dimacari, so it is not a live hand card and needs a specific second card (verified; no combo data to confirm a route). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | After attacking or being attacked it returns to the Deck to Special Summon one other Gladiator Beast from the Deck, a body-for-body conversion that needs a battle first (verified text; inference on conversion size). |
| Resource Economy | 50 | Returns itself and summons a different Deck monster, so the card count is roughly unchanged with no refuel or draw (inference from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 20 | No negate, removal or hand-trap effect; the only protection is being unaffected by Spell Cards when Special Summoned (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 45 | Level 6 LIGHT Beast with no Tuner status, so a usable generic material body, but the battle effect can pull it back to the Deck mid-turn (verified stats; inference). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Spell Card immunity applies only when Special Summoned, and the battle effect gives a recursion route after combat, but the card is not multi-zone (verified text; inference). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 30 | The Dimacari summon condition is a self-restriction that forces a second card into the deck, which costs slots and makes it a clumsy inclusion (verified text; inference). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 41, Deck ≈ —, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Self-locking summon restriction (-3). Final formula: Final = Intrinsic (no decks and no combos; Deck = null) + modifiers
Strengths
- Battle-triggered Deck-to-field Special Summon of another Gladiator Beast, giving a recursion route after combat (verified text).
- Generic Level 6 LIGHT Beast body usable as material (verified stats; inference).
Weaknesses
- Requires Gladiator Beast Dimacari to be Special Summoned, so access is conditional (verified text).
- Effect is battle-gated and card-neutral, with no draw, refuel or negate (verified text; inference).
- No opponent interaction beyond Spell Card immunity when Special Summoned (verified text).
- No deck or combo evidence confirms it is played or where it fits (data gap).
Counters / choke points
- Field-based effects that stop battle or the Battle Phase end, which deny the return trigger (inference from text).
- Interrupting the Dimacari summon route before Alexander is reached (inference from text).

- Inferred: Primary role is Extender with secondary Recovery/Recursion, from the battle-triggered Deck-to-field summon (text).; The battle effect is roughly card-neutral because it swaps itself for one Deck monster (text).; Material value is generic, since the card is a Level 6 Beast with no Tuner status (stats).
- Data gaps: no decks supplied, so deck and synergy signals are unavailable no combos supplied, so conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied Gladiator Beast Dimacari's stats and effect are not in the evidence, so the summon route cost cannot be quantified no banlist token, so copy limits are assumed at 3 no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) available no rulings supplied for the Battle Phase return timing or the Spell Card immunity clause
