Infernity Knight — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 45 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 46 · Deck: 45 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Infernity Knight's power comes from its graveyard recursion: when destroyed on the field it can discard 2 cards to Special Summon itself from the Graveyard, so it reliably returns as a 1400 ATK body. The recursion costs two cards for one body, so resource economy scores low, and the card has no recorded combo or interaction evidence. The 1400 ATK and 3 level earn nothing directly; the score reflects the recursion, its Infernity deck placement, and cheap deckbuilding.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Recursion requires the card to be destroyed and to have 2 cards in hand to discard, and no searcher or combo route is recorded (verified text; no starter role/searched-for role data). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | Converts one card into one revived body with no recorded boards or power index, so it is a fair body with help rather than a full board (inference from text; zero combo appearances). |
| Resource Economy | 25 | Discarding 2 cards to return one body is a net −1 card, with no refuel or advantage recorded (verified text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The effect offers no negation, removal, or disruption to the opponent (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 40 | Level 3 DARK Fiend fits common Level-3 material requirements, but no material role evidence exists (inference). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 60 | Works from the Graveyard and triggers on destruction, so it is multi-zone and can recur across turns; it is still vulnerable to Graveyard interaction (inference from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Appears 1–2 copies per deck (avg 1.33) with no garnet or lock restriction, so it is cheap to run (observed, deck data). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Recovery/Recursion primary role only; no secondary blend supported by combo evidence. Intrinsic ≈ 46, Deck ≈ 45, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Self-recursion from the Graveyard keeps a body returning after destruction
- Live in 6 of 6 sampled decks, 5 of them Infernity, with 100% co-occurrence with core Infernity partners
- Cheap to run: 1.33 average copies per deck with no garnet
Weaknesses
- Recovers only one body for two discarded cards (net −1 card)
- No recorded combo boards, so combo conversion is text-only inference
- No opponent interaction; the effect only returns the card itself
Counters / choke points
- Graveyard hate or banish effects (inferred from the Graveyard-only activation)
- Effect negation of the Graveyard effect (inferred from text)
Best use
Recovery/Recursion body that refills the field after destruction. Decks: Infernity. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: on-field destruction trigger, discard 2 cards, Special Summon from the Graveyard; Archetype Infernity; formats TCG, OCG, MasterDuel, DuelLinks; Level 3 DARK Fiend, 1400 ATK
- Observed: Appears in 6 of 6 sampled decks, 5 of them Infernity (83.3%); Co-occurs in 100% of decks with 11 Infernity partners; Average 1.33 copies per deck, with 2 decks running 2 copies
- Inferred: Recursion nets −1 card and only returns the card itself; Level 3 DARK Fiend fits Level-3 material requirements, with no material role data; Graveyard hate or effect negation would stop the recursion
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference (appearances 0) no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only 1 of 6 sampled decks is archetype 'Không có' (no archetype), so the Infernity-only share is an estimate
