If you have no monsters in your Graveyard, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). You can send 1 of your Equip Spell Cards equipped to this card to the Graveyard, then target up to 3 monsters in your opponent's Graveyard; banish those targets, and if you do, this card gains 500 ATK for each monster banished by this effect, until the end of this turn.
Guardian Eatos — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 47 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 46 · Deck: 48 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss / End-board · Secondary: Utility
Why it scores here
Guardian Eatos is a 2500-ATK Level 8 body whose main value is a conditional Special Summon from hand (only when you have no monsters in your Graveyard) and a GY banish that adds ATK. The 91-deck footprint across 40 archetypes shows it is a live, portable card, and that earns the accessibility and deckbuilding points. Its high ATK earns no points by itself: there is no combo evidence, its interaction is minor GY banishing rather than negation, and it does not refuel or generate advantage.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 50 | Hand Special Summon is live in 91 decks, but the empty-Graveyard condition restricts when it can be played (observed, plus text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | No recorded boards exist, so conversion relies on the text: one body that can reach 3000+ ATK via GY banish (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 25 | No draw, search, or refuel; the banish costs the opponent's GY, not your card advantage (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 20 | The GY banish removes opponent monsters but is not negation or removal of field cards (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 50 | A clean Level 8 WIND Fairy body that can be used as material, though nothing in the evidence shows it converts when negated (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | The Graveyard-empty condition and single-body status make it fragile to a single negate, with no recursion (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 65 | Mostly 1 to 3 copies with no garnet or lock restriction, but the GY condition constrains deck play (observed, plus text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Boss/End-board + 0.3 Utility. Intrinsic ≈ 46, Deck ≈ 48, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Live across 40 archetypes and 91 recent decks (observed)
- Hand Special Summon gives a board body without a card spent on it (verified from text)
- Clean Level 8 Fairy body that can be used as material (inferred)
Weaknesses
- Special Summon requires an empty Graveyard, which limits when it can be used (verified from text)
- No combo evidence, so board conversion is unproven (data gap)
- Minimal resource gain and weak interaction (inferred)
Counters / choke points
- Monster removal or negation in response to the Special Summon (inferred)
- A full opponent Graveyard does not stop the body but limits the ATK gain from banish (inferred)
Best use
Boss / End-board body (secondary utility) for decks that can keep the Graveyard empty. Decks: The Agent, Herald, Gate Guardian, Onomat, Orcust. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Special Summon from hand requires no monsters in your Graveyard; GY banish of up to 3 opponent monsters grants 500 ATK each until end of turn; Level 8 WIND Fairy Effect Monster with 2500 ATK
- Observed: Played in 91 recent decks across 40 archetypes; Copies per deck: 51 at 1, 7 at 2, 33 at 3; Top partners include Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Baronne de Fleur at 45% co-occurrence
- Inferred: Combo role is a Boss / End-board body, not a starter (no combo data); Negation in response to the summon is the main counter; GY condition constrains playability in mid-game
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited)
