Hecatrice — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 59 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 58 · Deck: 59 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor
Why it scores here
Hecatrice converts a hand card into one named search target, Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen, and nothing else in its text. Its score comes from reliable access: it appears in all 95 sampled decks at 1.66 copies on average and is almost always paired with Valhalla. The 1500 ATK, Level 4 body and the absence of any combo data add nothing beyond a generic material and deck-cost baseline, and no combo evidence confirms what Valhalla does after the search.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 80 | Live from hand in 95 of 95 sampled decks with a 1-card route to its target, but no combo starter counts were supplied (observed deck presence; route inferred from text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | The text only searches one card; what that card converts into is not in the evidence, so this is a text-only inference with no combo examples (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 50 | Discarding itself to add one card is roughly a 1-for-1 swap, so card advantage is even (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The text grants no negation, removal or disruption (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 40 | A Level 4 LIGHT Fairy body is a usable generic material, but it is normally discarded from hand and never used as material in the evidence (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | The effect is activated from hand and has no protection in the text, so a hand-effect response would end it; no interaction data was supplied (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | Runs as a 1-to-3 copy generic searcher with no garnet, lock or restriction in the text, and 54 of 95 decks run only one copy (observed deck counts). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Primary role Searcher/Tutor only; no secondary role blended because no combo evidence corroborates a Starter role.. Intrinsic ≈ 58, Deck ≈ 59, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Live in hand with a 1-card route to Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen, and appears in all 95 sampled decks
- Broad home base: 24 distinct archetypes, led by The Agent, Darklord and Aesir
- Cheap to run: 1 to 3 copies, no garnet or self-lock in the text
Weaknesses
- Its only effect is a one-for-one search for a single named card, with no board presence or interaction
- Level 4 body is generic material but is normally discarded from hand before it can be used
- No combo data, so its contribution after the search is unverified
Counters / choke points
- Hand-effect responses, since the card is activated from hand (inferred from the activation location; no interaction data supplied)
- Any opponent action that removes or disrupts Valhalla after the search would reduce the value of the search (inferred)
Best use
Searcher/Tutor (hand discard to add Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen). Decks: The Agent, Darklord, Aesir. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Text: discard this card to the GY to add 1 Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen from Deck to hand; Level 4 LIGHT Fairy Effect Monster, 1500 ATK / 1100 DEF; Legal in TCG, OCG, MasterDuel and DuelLinks
- Observed: Present in 95 of 95 sampled decks; 1.66 copies on average; Valhalla co-occurs in 100 percent of decks with this card; Main deck only: 0 side-deck appearances
- Inferred: Live from hand as a 1-card route to Valhalla; Hand-effect responses can end the effect; A 1-for-1 search is roughly neutral in card advantage
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token; copy limit assumed 3 no StatisticsCard usage statistics no once-per-turn or restriction wording in the text, so none was assumed
