Legendary Jujitsu Master — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 43 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 43.4 · Deck: 43.5 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Board breaker / Going-second · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
The card's only effect is conditional: it works only while in Defense Position and only after it battles, and then it returns the battled monster to the top of the Deck. That is a narrow, situational interaction with no card advantage, no searching, and no recorded combo role, so the score stays in the low-to-mid 40s. Its 1300 ATK and 1800 DEF earned no points. The 68 decks in the sample are a frequency signal and count toward accessibility and deck fit only, not toward power.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Level 3 body in 68 sampled decks across Red-Eyes, Heroic and Blue-Eyes, but no searcher or live-route evidence in the pack (observed for deck frequency, inferred for route quality). |
| Combo & Conversion | 25 | Zero recorded combo appearances; the battle-bounce effect converts a fight into a removal-like return, but nothing shows it building a board (inferred from text). |
| Resource Economy | 10 | No draw, search, or GY refuel in the text; the return to Deck is tempo, not card advantage (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 30 | Conditional bounce on battle requires Defense Position and a battle, so it is slow and easy to play around (verified from text, inferred for strength). |
| Material Utility | 50 | Level 3 Earth Rock is a generic Level 3 material body, but no material role data exists in the pack (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | Effect is blanked by any negate and depends on a battle happening in Defense Position, which limits its usable spots (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | Average 1.84 copies per deck, no garnet or lock restriction, and legal in all listed formats (observed from deck stats and format list). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Board breaker + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 43.4, Deck ≈ 43.5, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Generic Level 3 body that is easy to run and appears across several archetypes in the sample
- Clean, unambiguous timing once the Defense Position battle condition is met
- Costs no garnet or restriction slots
Weaknesses
- The effect needs a Defense Position battle, so it is slow and conditional
- No card advantage or searching
- No recorded combo starter, payoff, or end-board role
Counters / choke points
- Any negate on the effect (e.g. a generic negate spell or trap) shuts it off
- Opponent avoids battling into a Defense Position monster
Best use
Situational battle-bounce body (Board breaker) that doubles as a Level 3 material body. Decks: Red-Eyes, Heroic, Blue-Eyes. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Effect works only while in Defense Position and only after a battle, then returns the battled monster to the top of the Deck; Level 3 Earth Rock 1300/1800 Effect Monster; Legal in TCG, OCG, MasterDuel and DuelLinks
- Observed: Appears in 68 of 68 sampled decks, average 1.84 copies per deck; Top partners include Torrential Tribute, Heavy Storm and Mirror Force; Zero recorded combo appearances
- Inferred: Conditional effect makes it a weak, slow board breaker; Level 3 body is a generic material fit with no material role data; Negation of the effect is a practical counter
- 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
