Libromancer Agent — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 58 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 56 · Deck: 59 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Libromancer Agent is a hand-summoned Level 6 body that needs a Ritual monster revealed from hand, and a GY effect that adds a Libromancer card back to hand. Its value is that it keeps the Libromancer ritual line live from both hand and graveyard, which the deck evidence supports (in 400 of 400 sampled decks, and inclusion is 100% across all five StatisticsCard archetypes). That is consistency inside its own shell, not intrinsic power: it has no negation or removal, no combo data is supplied, and its ATK of 2000 earns nothing on its own. Frequency is treated as proof of access, not of strength.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 72 | Hand-summon needs a Ritual monster in hand, and the GY add works from the graveyard, so it is live in most Libromancer hands and boards (verified text; 400/400 decks run it, inference on in-hand reliability). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | No combo boards are supplied, so conversion is text-only: a free body plus a recursion of another Libromancer enabler (inferred, text-only). |
| Resource Economy | 68 | The GY add-to-hand is a +1 card effect, and the optional bottom-of-deck cost applies only when a Spell/Trap is added, so the net is roughly even to positive (verified text, inferred net). |
| Effect & Interaction | 8 | No negation, removal, or hand-trap reach in the text (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 40 | Level 6 EARTH Warrior non-Tuner; a generic Level 6 material that still exists as a body if its effects are negated (verified text, inferred use). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 52 | Two zones (hand and GY), but each effect is once per turn and the hand summon depends on a Ritual monster being present (verified text, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 62 | Average 1.42 copies with max 3; it is restricted to Libromancer decks but is not a garnet, and the copy distribution is mostly 1 or 2 (observed deck stats). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter/Combo enabler + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 56, Deck ≈ 59, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Hand-summonable body that keeps the Libromancer ritual line live from hand
- GY add-to-hand recursion of Libromancer enablers gives repeated access
- Present in all 400 sampled decks and at 100% inclusion across the historical StatisticsCard sample
Weaknesses
- No negation, removal or hand-trap reach
- Needs a Ritual monster in hand for the hand summon, so it is dead when that is absent
- Strongly archetype-locked: the GY target must be a Libromancer card
Counters / choke points
- Floodgates or hand traps that stop hand Special Summons
- Effects that negate the card or remove it from the GY
Best use
Hand-summoned starter with GY recursion of Libromancer enablers. Decks: Libromancer (all variants). Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Hand Special Summon when a Ritual monster is revealed in hand; GY effect adds a Libromancer card (not itself) to hand, with a bottom-of-Deck cost for Spell/Trap adds; Each effect is once per turn; Level 6 EARTH Warrior Effect Monster; Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks, all as main-deck copies
- Observed: Average 1.42 copies per deck; 47 distinct archetype labels, most of them Libromancer name variants; Usage inclusion of 100% across the five StatisticsCard archetypes
- Inferred: The hand summon is live in most Libromancer hands, since the deck runs many Ritual monsters; The GY add gives repeated access to enablers such as Geek Boy and Fire; Negated, the body still functions as a Level 6 generic material
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no rulings or metagame sample supplied
