Legendary Sword — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 38 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 37 · Deck: 38 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Utility
Why it scores here
Legendary Sword is a plain equip spell: it gives a Warrior monster +300 ATK/DEF and nothing else. It does not search, refuel, interact, or become material, so the score comes from its modest stat boost and the fact that it sees steady use across 19 decks in 12 archetypes at about 1.5 copies. The 300 ATK/DEF and the high view count earn nothing by themselves, and the Warrior-only restriction caps its value.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Drawn like any spell with no searcher or combo evidence, and it is live in 19 decks at about 1.5 copies, which is a practical deck-level add (observed, with the draw route inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 30 | Only converts a Warrior into a 300-point stat gain; no combo data supports a larger board (verified from text, combos absent). |
| Resource Economy | 35 | Trades one card for a small, non-repeatable stat increase with no card advantage or GY recovery stated in the text (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No negation, removal, or disruption in its text (verified). |
| Material Utility | 5 | A spell card that cannot be used as material and provides no body of its own (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 25 | Its value depends on the equipped Warrior staying on field, and it has no recovery or redundancy clause (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 45 | Single-copy slot cost with a mild Warrior-only restriction and no garnet or lock text (verified text, observed copy count). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Utility / no clear role (default); no secondary role. Intrinsic ≈ 37, Deck ≈ 38, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
