Knightmare Incarnation Idlee — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 53 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 52 · Deck: 53 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Board breaker
Why it scores here
Knightmare Incarnation Idlee is a Level 9 Dark Fairy whose value is conditional: it can be Special Summoned from hand when the field's total Link Rating is 8 or more, and when the opponent controls more Link Monsters it can send all Link Monsters on the field to the GY. The Board breaker profile puts most of the weight on effect interaction, and the conditional mass-GY trigger is what earns it. Its 2100 ATK and Level 9 body earn almost nothing on their own, and breadth across 29 archetypes reflects a 1-copy tech slot rather than proven strength.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 40 | Hand Special Summon requires a Link Rating total of 8 or more on the field, and no combo or searcher evidence confirms a reliable route (inferred from text, deck count alone does not confirm access). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | No combo boards are recorded, so conversion from a Link board into a 2100 body is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 35 | The mass GY effect also sends your own Link Monsters, so card advantage is only positive when the opponent has more Links; otherwise it is roughly even or negative (inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 50 | The GY-all-Links effect is a strong board breaker but is conditional on the opponent controlling more Link Monsters, so it is situational rather than flexible (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 55 | A Level 9 DARK Fairy body is a usable material for Level 9 summons, and the body remains a material even when its effects are negated (inferred from text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | Level 9 monsters you control cannot be destroyed by card effects, which protects this card on the field from effect destruction, but negation, banish and send effects are not covered (verified from card text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 65 | Used as a 1-copy slot in 62 decks (avg 1.13 copies), with no garnet or lock and clean once-per-turn wording (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Primary role profile only (Board breaker / Going-second); no secondary blend applied. Intrinsic ≈ 52, Deck ≈ 53, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Hand Special Summon with no cost once the Link Rating condition is met
- Conditional mass-GY of Link Monsters that punishes a Link-heavy opponent
- Level 9 body is immune to card-effect destruction while on the field
- Broad, 1-copy portability across 29 archetypes in the sample
Weaknesses
- Both effects depend on the Link board state, so the card is dead without Links
- The GY effect also removes your own Link Monsters
- No combo evidence, so the conversion value is inferred from text only
- 2100 ATK earns no points and the card is not a reliable starter
Counters / choke points
- Negation or banish of the summoned body (inferred from text)
- Interaction that removes the Link Monsters before the hand summon condition is reached (inferred)
Best use
Board breaker. Decks: World Legacy, Generaider, Crystal Beast. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 9 monsters you control cannot be destroyed by card effects; Hand Special Summon requires total Link Rating of 8 or more on the field; Mass GY of Link Monsters requires the opponent to control more Link Monsters than you
- Observed: 62 decks run it, averaging 1.13 copies, with 29 distinct archetypes; Top partners are Called by the Grave and World Legacy Monstrosity at 48.4% co-deck rate
- Inferred: Accessibility depends on having a Link board, which the decks supply; Material value holds even when effects are negated
- 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
