Inherited Fortune — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 40 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 40 · Deck: 39 · Meta: provisional

Why it scores here
Inherited Fortune is a conditional trap: it needs a face-up Fortune Lady you control to be destroyed, then it Special Summons up to 2 Fortune Lady monsters from hand in the next Standby Phase. That converts one lost Fortune Lady into up to two free bodies from hand, which is real value inside a single archetype, but the card has no opponent interaction, no GY refuel, and no combo evidence, so it scores as a mid-tier support piece. Its strength is confined to Fortune Lady decks, and the archetype lock and the destruction trigger cap both its accessibility and its generic utility.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 35 | A set trap that needs a Fortune Lady destroyed first and only fires in the following Standby Phase, with no searcher or starter route evidenced (inferred; 3 of 3 decks run 1 copy, so it is live but narrow). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | Turns one destroyed Fortune Lady into up to two hand-summoned bodies, but no combo boards were supplied to confirm the follow-up (inferred from card text; combo evidence absent). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | Two bodies from hand for one trap with no card cost beyond the card itself, which is a small net gain, but no GY refuel or draw (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | No negation, removal, or disruption on the opponent's side (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 40 | Summoned monsters are Fortune Lady bodies from hand, so material value depends on the archetype's monsters, which are not evidenced here (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 30 | One backrow card that fails if it is removed or negated, and it works only after a Fortune Lady has already been destroyed (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 45 | One slot, one copy in every sampled deck, but it is dead without Fortune Lady monsters, a self-restriction that costs flexibility (observed from 3 decks; the restriction is inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Extender primary role, no blend. Intrinsic ≈ 40, Deck ≈ 39, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Archetype lock (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck

- Appears in all 3 sampled decks at 1 copy, with 100% co-occurrence with 8 Fortune Lady monsters (observed)

Weaknesses
- Set trap that needs a Fortune Lady destroyed first and a Standby Phase to resolve, so it is slow
- No opponent interaction and no GY refuel
- Fails to backrow removal or negation and is dead outside Fortune Lady decks
Counters / choke points
- Backrow removal or negation before the Standby Phase
- Interaction that prevents the Fortune Lady destruction from happening

Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: triggers when a face-up Fortune Lady you control is destroyed; Special Summons up to 2 Fortune Lady from hand in the next Standby Phase; Archetype is Fortune Lady; all 3 sampled decks run 1 copy in the main deck; Co-occurs at 100% with 8 Fortune Lady monsters and Future Visions/Fortune's Future
- Observed: 3 decks total, 100% in Fortune Lady, gameplay type 7; No combo boards recorded (appearances 0); No top-card ranking or usage statistics
- Inferred: Trap timing: must be set before use, so it is slow; Material value depends on the archetype's monsters, which are not in the evidence; Backrow removal or negation is the main way to stop it
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only Fortune Lady monster bodies and their material value are not in the evidence
