Inferno Reckless Summon — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 54 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 54 · Deck: 54 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Extender
Why it scores here
Inferno Reckless Summon turns one summoned monster with 1500 or less ATK into a same-name multi-body board pulled from hand, Deck and Graveyard, which earns the combo and resource points when copies exist. Its own effect also summons a same-name monster for the opponent, and the trigger needs exactly one qualifying summon while the opponent has a face-up monster, so the net gain is conditional. The 133 decks and 100% Batteryman inclusion confirm it is played, but under Guardrail 3 that frequency did not raise the score, and the missing combo evidence keeps the band at ±8.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Quick-Play spell that needs a qualifying ≤1500-ATK summon to trigger; it appears in 133 decks across 40 archetypes at 2.37 average copies, but no starter or searched combo stats are supplied (observed for deck count, inferred for live-hand reliability). |
| Combo & Conversion | 60 | Text converts one qualifying summon into several same-name monsters from hand, Deck and GY, which is a strong conversion when copies exist (inferred from card text; combos_evidence has 0 appearances). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | Adds board bodies from hand, Deck and GY at no cost to you, but the opponent gets the same benefit for one of their face-up monsters, so the net advantage is partly offset (verified from card text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | No negation, removal or hand-trap reach; the effect is a symmetric summon that does not interact with the opponent's cards (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 10 | A Spell Card, so it provides no material, level or attribute body (verified from card type). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Quick-Play that can be answered before resolution, and the multi-body result is undone by one negate in the common case (inferred from card type; no counters evidence supplied). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Three-copy generic spell with no garnet, lock or self-restriction, and 2.37 average copies per deck (observed from decks_evidence and usage_statistics). |

Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: triggers on exactly 1 monster with 1500 or less ATK Special Summoned while the opponent controls a face-up monster; Card text: summons same-name monsters from hand, Deck and Graveyard for both players; 133 decks run it, 40 distinct archetypes, average 2.37 copies; Batteryman usage_statistics inclusion 100% at 3 typical copies; Not a Top Card in any format
- Observed: Batteryman is 15 of 133 decks (11.3%); Cyber Dragon 8.3%; Utopia 6.8%; Harpie's Feather Duster and Monster Reborn each co-occur in 30.8% of decks; 90.2% of decks use gameplay type 7; Copy distribution: 25 decks at 1, 34 at 2, 74 at 3
- Inferred: Conversion to a multi-body board from one qualifying summon, given copies in hand, Deck or GY; The ≤1500 ATK and face-up opponent conditions limit how often the trigger fires; Vulnerable to generic spell negation before resolution
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no counter or negation evidence supplied
