Gold Moon Coin — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 50 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 47.3 · Deck: 52.6 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Utility
Why it scores here
Gold Moon Coin converts a hand of dead or excess cards into two fresh draws, but the cost is real: it gives two cards to the opponent, so the card is net -1 for you and +2 for them in raw card count. It is a generic cycling spell with no field presence, no opponent interaction and no material value, so those axes stay low. Its score comes from being easy to run as a single copy across 56 archetypes and from appearing in 200 of 200 sampled decks, which confirms it is a practical staple rather than a strong card. Frequency was not allowed to lift the score further, because there are no combo boards to show it converts into a winning line.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Live as a spell in hand with no search needed, but it requires two other cards in hand to give away, and the sample shows it running in every deck (observed, inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | Text-only: draws 2 after giving 2, with no combo boards or starter stats supplied to show a larger line (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | Raw count is -1 for the user (spell plus two given cards out, two drawn in) and +2 for the opponent; the value is cycling dead cards, not advantage (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | No opponent-facing removal, negation or disruption; giving the opponent cards is a cost to the user, not interaction (verified). |
| Material Utility | 5 | A spell cannot be used as Extra Deck or Link material, so the body contributes nothing here (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Hand-only, so it is exposed to discard and hand-trap timing, but it is not dependent on the field or a single zone (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 85 | Single copy, no garnet or lock, and a clean once-per-turn restriction, so it is cheap to run in many decks (verified). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Utility / no clear role (default), no secondary role blended. Intrinsic ≈ 47.3, Deck ≈ 52.6, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Draws two cards for one spell, so it helps the user dig out of a dead hand
- Single copy, no garnet, cheap to run in many archetypes (56 distinct archetypes in the sample)
- Generic enough to slot into Exodia, Synchro Event, Greed and Spellbook homes
Weaknesses
- Net -1 card for the user and +2 for the opponent in raw count
- Needs two cards in hand to give away, so it is weak when the hand is nearly empty
- Hand-only with no field presence, and no material or interaction value
Counters / choke points
- Opponent hand traps or negation in response, which would waste the cost (inferred)
Best use
Utility hand-dump plus draw-two to cycle dead cards. Decks: Exodia, Synchro Event, Greed. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: adds 2 cards from hand to opponent, then draws 2, once per turn; Spell card, not a material body; Appears as a single copy in 200 of 200 sampled decks
- Observed: Runs in 56 distinct archetypes, led by Exodia, Synchro Event and Morphtronic; Co-appears with Into the Void (70.5%) and Upstart Goblin (57.5%)
- Inferred: Acts as a hand-dump that cycles dead cards, not a route to a board; Vulnerable to hand traps in response
- 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 deck sample only legal copies empty for all formats
