FLIP: You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; send 1 "Shaddoll" monster with its same Attribute from your Extra Deck to the GY, and if you do, banish that monster. If this card is sent to the GY by card effect: You can send cards from the top of your Deck to the GY, equal to the number of different original Attributes among the monsters on the field. You can only use 1 "Helshaddoll Hollow" effect per turn, and only once that turn.
Helshaddoll Hollow — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 54 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 54 · Deck: 57 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Removal · Secondary: Boss/End-board
Why it scores here
Helshaddoll Hollow's value is its flip effect: it banishes one face-up opposing monster, but only by sending a Shaddoll from the Extra Deck to the GY, so it is a one-for-one trade with a real cost rather than free interaction. The GY effect is a self-mill that thins the deck and gives no card advantage, and the 2900 body is a respectable but unremarkable end-board piece. The high ATK and the 100% inclusion in the sampled Shaddoll decks do not drive the score; the combo evidence shows presence (5/5 boards, average power index 79.4) but zero starter, searcher, material or payoff roles, so combo conversion is held near the middle.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Level 9 with no summon route in the text, but it runs in every sampled deck and in the Shaddoll usage stats; no starter or searched appearances recorded (observed/inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 50 | Appears in all 5 recorded combos, but as_starter, as_searched and as_payoff are all 0, so its contribution to a board is not established (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | Flip cost of one Extra Deck Shaddoll to the GY against one banish gives an even exchange; the GY mill is deck thinning, not advantage (verified from text, inferred for value). |
| Effect & Interaction | 70 | Targeted banish of a face-up monster, once per turn, with no negation; hard to play around but gated by the Extra Deck cost (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 30 | No material role observed (as_material 0), and Level 9 Fire Fiend with no Tuner text limits its use as material (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | Flip trigger can be negated and the body can be removed, though the GY effect gives a second use after it is sent by card effect (verified from text, inferred for timing). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 40 | Single-copy usage with a Shaddoll-specific Extra Deck cost that restricts the card to Shaddoll-type homes (observed from copies_per_deck and text, inferred for brick risk). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Removal/Negation + 0.3 Boss/End-board. Intrinsic ≈ 54, Deck ≈ 57, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Archetype-locked cost (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Targeted banish of a face-up opposing monster, once per turn
- Live in the sampled Shaddoll decks (400/400, 1 copy each) and present in all 5 recorded combos
- GY effect provides deck thinning when it is sent to the GY by card effect
Weaknesses
- The flip cost consumes an Extra Deck Shaddoll, so it is a one-for-one trade rather than card advantage
- No starter, searcher, material or payoff roles recorded in combos
- Locked to the Shaddoll Extra Deck requirement, which restricts its use outside Shaddoll-type homes
Counters / choke points
- Negating the flip effect (no negation of the flip trigger is recorded in the evidence)
- Removing the body after the flip, since the card itself is a 2900 monster and not protected
Best use
Removal. Decks: Shaddoll. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Flip effect text: banish one face-up opposing monster by sending a Shaddoll from the Extra Deck to the GY; GY effect text: send cards from the top of the Deck equal to the number of different original Attributes on the field, once per turn; Level 9 FIRE Fiend, 2900 ATK / 2900 DEF
- Observed: Present in all 400 sampled decks at 1 copy each (sample is selected by card presence); Present in 5/5 combos with average power index 79.4, with zero starter, searched, material, payoff or end-board roles; Usage statistics show 100% inclusion in one Shaddoll archetype at 1 copy
- Inferred: Removal role and one-for-one exchange value; Deckbuilding cost from the Shaddoll Extra Deck requirement; Accessibility rated middling without a recorded summon route
- Data gaps: No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) No summon route or search text in the evidence, so accessibility is inferred from deck and combo presence Combo role tags are all zero, so combo conversion rests on presence and structural power index only Deck sample is selected by card presence (400/400 run it), so inclusion is biased upward usage_statistics covers one archetype only; no rulings supplied
