Heroic Chance — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 47 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 41 · Deck: 51 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Utility · Secondary: Boss/End-board
Why it scores here
Heroic Chance is a single-use pump: it doubles the ATK of one face-up Heroic monster for the turn, with the drawback that the monster cannot attack the opponent directly, and it can be activated only once per turn. It converts an existing Heroic board into a large attack, but it creates no board, searches nothing, and gains no card advantage, so its score rests on conversion and deck fit rather than ATK. Its 71-deck presence (63% in the Heroic archetype, 98.6% alongside Heroic Challenger - Morning Star) confirms it is a live, consistently played pick, not a power driver by itself. The lack of any combo data keeps confidence at Medium.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Spell that needs a face-up Heroic monster already on the field, so it is not a hand-only starter; it appears in 71 recent decks at 1.87 average copies, showing it is reliably run (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | Card text converts a Heroic monster's ATK into lethal-range damage, but no combo boards are recorded, so the conversion is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 35 | One-for-one spell with no draw, search, or recursion in the text, so it neither gains nor refuels cards (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | Offers no negation, removal, or disruption to the opponent (verified). |
| Material Utility | 5 | Spell card, so it can never be used as material and has no body (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 30 | Single spell activation, no recursion, and it is vulnerable to any spell negation while the Heroic monster it targets stays exposed (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Cheap to run at 1 to 3 copies with no garnet-style restriction beyond the once-per-turn clause and the Heroic target, which the deck already plays (observed). |
Calculation

Counters / choke points
- Generic spell negation during activation
- Removing or bouncing the targeted Heroic monster before resolution
