King's Knight — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 57 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 55.5 · Deck: 58.6 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
King's Knight converts its Normal Summon into one extra body by Special Summoning Jack's Knight from the Deck, but only while Queen's Knight is already controlled, so its value is tied to that partner. It has no opponent interaction and no combo-board evidence, so the score rests on text, deck inclusion and a Level 4 LIGHT Warrior body that stays usable as material. High deck counts earn only the accessibility and deck-portability credit, not extra power, because co-occurrence with Queen's Knight is a causal caution rather than proof of strength.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 62 | Normal Summonable Level 4 body, but its effect requires Queen's Knight already controlled; it runs in 381 sampled decks, 97.9% alongside Queen's Knight (observed, verified). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | The effect converts one Normal Summon into one Jack's Knight from the Deck, a single extra body with help (verified text; no combo boards supplied, inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | A Deck-to-field summon adds board presence with no GY refuel or card advantage, so roughly even (verified text, inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card has no negation, removal or hand-trap effect in its text (verified). |
| Material Utility | 60 | Level 4 LIGHT Warrior remains a clean material body if the effect is negated, since the level and attribute are printed (verified text, inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | A single effect tied to one Normal Summon condition; a negate or removal of Queen's Knight first shuts it off (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 45 | Runs at 2.36 average copies with no garnet, but its effect is dead without Queen's Knight, a mild restriction (observed, inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 55.5, Deck ≈ 58.6, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Turns a Normal Summon into an extra Jack's Knight from the Deck, a body with no card cost (verified)
- Level 4 LIGHT Warrior body remains usable as material even when the effect is negated (verified text, inferred)
- Appears in 381 sampled decks across 57 archetypes, with Queen's Knight and Jack's Knight as the top partners (observed)
Weaknesses
- Effect is dead unless Queen's Knight is already controlled at the Normal Summon (verified)
- No combo evidence supplied, so board-conversion value is text-only inference (inferred)
- Produces a single body from the Deck, not card advantage or GY refuel (verified text, inferred)
- No opponent interaction of any kind (verified)
Counters / choke points
- Negating the effect or removing Queen's Knight before the Normal Summon (inferred from text)
Best use
Extender. Decks: Knight builds built around Queen's Knight and Jack's Knight (partners in 94–98% of sampled decks). Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Effect text: Normal Summon condition with Queen's Knight, then Special Summon Jack's Knight from Deck; Level 4 LIGHT Warrior, ATK 1600 / DEF 1400 (not scored); Legal in TCG, OCG, MasterDuel and DuelLinks
- Observed: 381 sampled decks, 57 distinct archetypes, avg 2.36 copies (207 decks run 3); 97.9% co-occurrence with Queen's Knight and 94.8% with Jack's Knight
- Inferred: Effect value depends on Queen's Knight being live at the Normal Summon; Effect is shut off by a negate or removal of Queen's Knight before the summon
- 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 no starter-count data, so DeckResilience uses archetype spread only
