Infernity Conjurer — Power Evaluation

- Intrinsic: 47 · Deck: 54.5 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Recovery/Recursion · Secondary: Floodgate/Control
Why it scores here
Infernity Conjurer is a Level 3 body whose value depends on an empty hand: it recurs itself from the Graveyard and, while the hand is empty, gives the opponent's monsters -800 ATK. Both effects are conditional on the handless state and the recursion is one-shot (banished when it leaves the field), so it converts a cleared hand into a single extra body and a soft lock rather than repeated advantage. Its 1200 ATK and the Level 3 body earn little on their own; the score comes from its reliable GY access inside a deck that is built to be handless. The 100% combo appearance and the high partner overlap confirm it is a real package member, but the combo data carries no role tags, so it cannot be credited with a specific starter, searcher or payoff role.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 62 | Recurs from the GY via its own handless-conditioned effect, and 256 of 256 sampled decks run it, but no combo records it as a starter or searched card (inferred from text plus deck inclusion; observed 0 starter/searched roles). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | Appears in 4 of 4 recorded boards with average power index 100, but combo role is empty everywhere, so its conversion is observed only as presence, not as a converter (observed; partly inferred from the -800 ATK lock). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | Recursion is a 1-for-0 special summon with no draw, search or refuel, and the banish-on-leave clause makes it single-use (verified from text; netCardAdvantage on its boards is structural, not caused by this card). |
| Effect & Interaction | 35 | The -800 ATK lock works only while the hand is empty and it has no negation or removal, so the interaction is soft and situational (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 40 | A Level 3 DARK Fiend is a generic material body, but there is no material role count, so the material role is inferred from stats alone (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Both effects stop as soon as the hand is non-empty, and the card has a single copy in most decks, so one hand card or one removal ends its value (verified from text; observed 1-copy distribution). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 45 | A single copy that is cheap to run, but it needs the deck to be handless, which restricts the list to Infernity-style builds (verified from text; observed copies distribution). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Recovery/Recursion + 0.3 Floodgate/Control. Intrinsic ≈ 47, Deck ≈ 54.5, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: self-locking restriction (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Recurs itself from the Graveyard while the hand is empty, without spending a card
- Live across 256 sampled decks, almost all Infernity with 28 archetype homes
- Gives a -800 ATK lock to the opponent's monsters, which can blunt attacks in a handless board
Weaknesses
- Both effects depend on the hand being empty, so one card in hand turns them off
- Banished when it leaves the field, so it is a single use
- No negation, removal or card advantage, and no role tags in the combo data
Counters / choke points
- Holding any card in hand switches off both effects
- Removing or banishing the card from the Graveyard before it is recovered
- Hand-based interaction that forces the controller to keep cards in hand
Best use
Single-copy recursion body that adds a soft -800 ATK lock while the hand is empty. Decks: Infernity (handless builds), Horus, Fiendsmith. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 3 DARK Fiend Effect Monster, 1200 ATK / 900 DEF, Infernity archetype (card text); Static effect: -800 ATK to opponent monsters while you have no cards in hand (card text); GY effect: Special Summon this card while hand is empty, banish it when it leaves the field, once per turn (card text); Present in 256 of 256 sampled decks; 1 copy in 235 of them (deck data); Appears in 4 of 4 recorded combos; avg power index 100 (combo data)
- Observed: Infernity archetype inclusion 100% at typical 1 copy (usage statistics); Top-card rank 94 of 97 in duel-links (top-card data); Guides describe it as part of the Infernity handless engine (guide data)
- Inferred: Recursion and -800 ATK lock make it a soft Floodgate piece while handless; Material value is generic because it is Level 3 DARK Fiend, not because a combo used it as material; Power comes from Infernity's handless shell rather than the card alone
- Data gaps: no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) combo data combo role is empty for all examples, so starter/searcher/material/payoff roles cannot be confirmed total combos is 4 but only 3 examples are provided guide data snippets are partial Vietnamese excerpts and do not specify the card's exact timing or interaction rulings no rulings data for the handless-condition interactions
