Legendary Flame Lord — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 46 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 49 · Deck: 43 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss / End-board · Secondary: Board breaker, Removal
Why it scores here
Legendary Flame Lord converts its position into value mainly through one board-wipe effect: after three Spell activations by either player it destroys every other monster while surviving itself. That effect earns the interaction score, but it is slow, needs the Ritual Spell 'Incandescent Ordeal' plus tributes totalling Level 7, and returns no card advantage, so the score stays in the middle band. Its 2400 ATK and 2000 DEF earn no points on their own, and the lack of combo evidence keeps conversion and resilience from scoring higher.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 40 | Needs a second card, the Ritual Spell 'Incandescent Ordeal', plus Level 7 of tributes; it appears in 7 sampled decks but no searcher or starter data exists (observed deck presence, inferred route). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | Text describes a one-card wipe only after three Spell activations, and no recorded boards exist to confirm a realistic start (inferred from text). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | The wipe is symmetrical and costs tributes with no recursion or draw, so there is no net card advantage (inferred from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 65 | Destroys all other monsters on the field in one activation, a strong board effect that is slow to set up (inferred from text). |
| Material Utility | 35 | A Level 7 Fire Spellcaster body could serve as material, but no material role combo data or material-specific text supports a clean conversion (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Spell counters stay on the card, but the single wipe trigger is negatable and the card is a one-shot payoff (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 40 | Two slots are needed (the monster and the Ritual Spell), with one copy in each of the 7 sampled decks and a brick-risk restriction (observed deck count, inferred restriction). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Boss/End-board + 0.3 Board breaker/Removal. Intrinsic ≈ 49, Deck ≈ 43, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Ritual Spell dependency (brick risk) (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Its Spell-counter board wipe can clear the whole opposing field in one activation.
- Its three-counter cost is met by either player's Spell activations, so it fills during normal play.
- Its one-copy-per-deck footprint keeps slot cost low across 7 sampled decks.
Weaknesses
- Needs the Ritual Spell 'Incandescent Ordeal' and tributes totalling Level 7 before it reaches the field.
- The board wipe is slow to set up and returns no card advantage.
- No combo, guide or usage-statistics evidence supports a realistic starter route.
Counters / choke points
- Negating or blanking the wipe activation or the Ritual Summon (inferred from text; no counter data supplied).
- Hand traps or Spell-based interruptions that stop the three counters from accumulating (inferred from text).
Best use
Late-game board wipe in Ritual-supported lists. Decks: Dark Magician, Sky Striker, Endymion. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: Ritual Summon requires 'Incandescent Ordeal' and tributes totalling Level 7 or more.; Card text: three Spell Counters destroy all other monsters on the field.; Deck evidence: present in 7 decks, 1 copy each, across 4 archetypes.
- Observed: Partners such as Mythical Beast Master Cerberus and Dark Magician of Chaos co-occur in 6 of 7 decks.
- Inferred: The wipe is slow and negatable, and needs the Ritual Spell in hand or deck.; Level 7 material value is inferred from stats and text, with no material role data.
- 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 'Incandescent Ordeal' card text not supplied — ritual route inferred from name only
