Heraldry Reborn — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 54 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 49 · Deck: 58 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Recovery/Recursion · Secondary: Extender
Why it scores here
Heraldry Reborn is a one-shot Special Summon from the Graveyard that targets a Heraldic Beast monster, so its power comes from turning a dead Heraldic Beast into a board body. It is run in all 109 sampled decks at about one copy each, across 14 archetype labels, which confirms it is a reliable, cheap, live card in its home. Its high accessibility and deck efficiency earn points, but it gives no card advantage and no interaction, and no recorded combo data exists to show how far it converts. Its decks presence is not treated as proof of raw strength.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 72 | Run in 109 of 109 sampled decks, a spell that is live when a Heraldic Beast is in the Graveyard (observed, decks_evidence; the Graveyard condition is verified from text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | Text-only revival of a Graveyard Heraldic Beast; no combo boards recorded, and co-occurrence with Heraldic Beast Leo (99.1%) is observed but not board-verified (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | One spell card is spent to recover one monster, so the net is roughly even card-for-card with no draw or refuel (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No negation, removal, or disruption in its text (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 5 | A spell with no material value of its own; the revived monster carries the material role, not this card (verified from text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | A single spell that can be negated or answered by Graveyard hate, with redundancy only through multiple valid Heraldic Beast targets (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | Average 1.08 copies per deck with 103 of 109 decks running one copy, and no garnet or lock cost (observed, decks_evidence; text verified). |
