Ido the Supreme Magical Force — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 28 ± 7 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 32 · Deck: 26 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Recovery/Recursion · Secondary: Utility
Why it scores here
The card's text says it cannot Summon monsters and can only be recovered from the Graveyard after being destroyed by a card effect, then Special Summoned in the next Standby Phase to destroy every other monster you control. Its only real output is a self-sweep of your own board, which is a liability rather than a conversion into winning value, and it has no opponent interaction. The 2200 ATK and Level 6 body earn nothing, and the 400 attached decks confirm only that the card is included, not that it is powerful. The score is held down by the self-lock, the single-copy limit, and the MasterDuel 0-copy legality.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 30 | Cannot be Summoned normally; reaches the field only via the Graveyard revival after a card-effect destruction, and that route is conditional (inferred from text, deck inclusion noted as observed frequency only) |
| Combo & Conversion | 20 | Its sole effect destroys the player's own monsters after revival and no combo boards are recorded, so there is no converted board value (verified text, no combo data) |
| Resource Economy | 25 | Revival from the Graveyard is a free recursion, but the self-destruction sweep is a net loss of board presence (verified text) |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No effect targets or disrupts the opponent in its text (verified text) |
| Material Utility | 15 | A 6-level Dark Fiend body could be material, but the Summon restriction makes using it as material unclear (inferred) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | Recursion route depends on being destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard, which the card then needs to survive; single copy limit (inferred from text) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 20 | Single-copy limit and a self-lock Summon restriction make it an awkward slot to run; 400/400 decks run one copy, which confirms only inclusion (observed plus inferred) |
Calculation
Weight profile: Recovery / Recursion primary role, no secondary blend applied (single weight profile). Intrinsic ≈ 32, Deck ≈ 26, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Forbidden in MasterDuel (0 legal copies) (-4); Self-locking Summon restriction (-4). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Recovers from the Graveyard without a cost once its destruction condition is met
- Its Standby Phase revival is a timed, predictable trigger rather than a fragile requirement
Weaknesses
- Its own effect destroys the controller's other monsters, a net board loss
- The self-lock on Summoning monsters restricts deck construction and turn-to-turn use
- Zero legal copies in MasterDuel; the card cannot be played in that format
Counters / choke points
- Any effect that prevents or responds to the revival, or that removes it from the Graveyard (inferred)
Best use
Recovery/Recursion single-copy finisher, only where a card-effect destruction is already planned. Decks: Branded, Despia, Bystial/Byssted. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: cannot Summon monsters; can only control 1; GY revival on card-effect destruction; Standby Phase sweep of own monsters; legal copies masterduel = 0; formats TCG, OCG, MasterDuel; deck data: 400 decks, 1 copy each, 31 distinct archetypes
- Observed: Partner co-occurrence of 80–92% with the top 15 partners across 400 decks; Gameplay split 90.2% type 7 and 9.8% type 6
- Inferred: The Summon restriction reduces practical accessibility and material use; The Graveyard revival is conditional and only reachable after a card-effect destruction; Deck inclusion does not establish intrinsic strength (guardrail 3)
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion rests on text only no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion is inferred from the 400-deck sample only Partner co-occurrence of 80–92% across 15 partners is unusually uniform for a card with a self-lock and no combo role; the deck match may be an artifact Unclear whether the Summon restriction applies to the whole player or only to this card, and the text does not say
