Why it scores here
Infernity Inferno's text is a discard of up to 2 cards paired with sending the same number of Infernity cards from the Deck to the Graveyard. That is graveyard fuel for an archetype, not a searcher, a hand trap, or an interaction piece, so it scores as a Utility card. It shows real deck presence (21 decks, 57% Infernity, a 2.19 average copy count, partners such as Infernity Archfiend and Infernity Necromancer), but there are no combo boards, so its conversion is text-only inference. High inclusion does not raise the score on its own, and the card earns little for effect interaction or material use.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Present in 21 of the recent decks at 2.19 copies on average, with Trap-frame access (observed, deck sample); no combo starter or searched stats exist to confirm how live it is in hand (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | The text sends Infernity cards to the Graveyard, which feeds the archetype, but no board or power index evidence shows what that converts into (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | The discard cost is paid by the controller and the Deck-to-GY send is a mill rather than card advantage; the card has no netCardAdvantage data (verified text, inferred net value). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | The description states no negation, destruction, or opponent-facing effect, so interaction is essentially absent (verified). |
| Material Utility | 25 | A Trap card is not a material body and nothing in the evidence shows material use (verified text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | A set Trap is exposed to backrow removal and its timing is not given in the text, so flexibility is limited to the Infernity shell (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | A cheap 1-3 copy Trap slot that is splashable across six archetypes, with mostly Infernity homes and no garnet or lock restriction in the evidence (observed, deck sample). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Utility / no clear role (default); no combo evidence to move the role. Intrinsic ≈ 43, Deck ≈ 46, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck (decks present, combos absent, meta unknown)
Strengths
- Deck-to-Graveyard send of Infernity cards is text-verified and archetype-aligned
- Appears in 21 recent decks with consistent Infernity partners (observed)
- Cheap, low-restriction Trap slot with no garnet or self-lock in the text
Weaknesses
- No combo evidence, so conversion and starter/searched roles cannot be confirmed
- No effect interaction or opponent-facing value
- Activation timing and conditions are not given in the description; the text shows no trigger window
- Value is concentrated in the Infernity archetype (57% of decks)
Best use
Utility: Graveyard fuel for Infernity shells. Decks: Infernity. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Text: discard up to 2 cards and send the same number of Infernity cards from Deck to Graveyard; Format legality: TCG, OCG, MasterDuel, DuelLinks; Archetype: Infernity
- Observed: 21 recent decks, 2.19 average copies, 10 decks at 3 copies; 57.1% of decks are Infernity; 6 distinct archetypes; Top partners co-occur in 42–67% of decks
- Inferred: Graveyard fuel supports Infernity's recurring Graveyard-dependent plays; Trap-frame access is live only if it can be set and kept until use
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only no activation timing or condition beyond the description no rulings or guide detail beyond one Duel Links guide snippet
