Hushed Psychic Minister — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 53 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 52 · Deck: 53 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Removal / Negation · Secondary: Starter / Combo enabler
Why it scores here
Hushed Psychic Minister is a Level 3 Psychic body that converts into two things: a Defense-position hand Special Summon while you control another Psychic, and a once-per-turn graveyard cost (banish itself plus 1 Psychic from the GY) that temporarily banishes one face-up monster until the End Phase. Its 2100 DEF and Level 3 body earned no points on their own. The score sits in the middle because the removal is a tempo effect that costs two cards, and the pack has no combo evidence to show the card building a board, so combo conversion stays low. Deck presence (400 of 400 recent decks, 31 archetypes) confirms accessibility but is not treated as proof of strength.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Hand-summon needs another Psychic on the field and the GY route needs a Psychic in the GY, but 400 of 400 recent decks run it and it sits next to Psychic partners at 80–96% co-occurrence (observed, with the conditions from the card text as verified). |
| Combo & Conversion | 25 | No recorded boards, so nothing shows it turning one card into a board; the banish removes one monster and builds no extra material or body (inferred from text only). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | Activating the GY effect spends two cards (itself and a Psychic from the GY) to temporarily remove one monster, with no search or draw and no recovery (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 45 | Temporary banish on any face-up monster until the End Phase is real but soft interaction, not a hard negate or permanent removal, and it is once per turn (verified from text, inferred strength). |
| Material Utility | 40 | A Level 3 Psychic body is usable as a generic material, but the pack carries no Tuner or fit data and its GY use costs the body itself (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | It works from hand and from the GY, which gives two zones, but the summon depends on a Psychic being on the field and each effect is once per turn (verified from text, inferred resilience). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | Used as one copy in most decks (average 1.05 copies per deck, 382 of 400 decks at one copy), with no garnet, lock or brick cost (observed from deck stats). |

Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Hand Special Summon in Defense Position requires controlling another Psychic (card text); GY effect banishes itself and 1 Psychic from the GY to temporarily banish 1 face-up monster until the End Phase, once per turn (card text); Run in 400 of 400 recent decks, average 1.05 copies (decks_evidence); Spans 31 distinct archetypes (decks_evidence)
- Observed: Gameplay type 7 in 94.8% of decks (decks_evidence); Top partners: Psychic End Punisher 96%, Teleport Fusion 95.2%, Emergency Teleport 95% (decks_evidence); Myutant and Gold Pride inclusion 100% at 1 copy in usage_statistics (not scored, guardrail 3)
- Inferred: Temporary banish is a tempo removal rather than permanent removal; Hand-summon value depends on the Psychic density of the deck
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no Tuner or level-matching data for material_utility no ruling or interaction data for the GY banish
