Why it scores here
Libromancer Fire is a Level 4 body that comes out of the hand by revealing a Ritual monster, and its on-summon effect adds another Libromancer monster from the Deck, so it converts a live hand into a body plus a search. It has no interaction and no combo-board evidence was supplied, so its conversion is only text-supported. The 1800 ATK and 1800 DEF earn nothing; the score rests on hand-access, the search, and clean deck cost (400 of 400 sampled decks run it, mostly at 3 copies, with a near-universal partner in Libromancer Geek Boy).
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Hand-summon needs only a Ritual monster in hand, and 400 of 400 sampled decks run it at an average of 2.6 copies, though the Ritual-in-hand condition is a real constraint (observed deck inclusion, text-verified condition). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | The text yields one body plus one Libromancer search, but there are zero recorded combos, so the conversion is text-only inference. |
| Resource Economy | 60 | The on-summon search adds one card from the Deck with no card cost, a net +1 at best; no refuel or repeated advantage is stated (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No negation, removal, or disruption effect exists in the text, so interaction scores near zero (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 45 | A Level 4 Fire Cyberse body is generic material, but the card has no material-specific text, and its value as material is inferred from stats and type alone (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | Each effect is once per turn and the body still exists if negated, but the hand-summon depends on a Ritual monster being in hand (verified from text, inferred for resilience). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Three copies are common in the sampled decks and the Ritual requirement stays within the archetype's own engine, so the restriction is mild (observed deck copies, inferred slot cost). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter + 0.3 Searcher. Intrinsic ≈ 53, Deck ≈ 55, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Ritual-in-hand summon condition (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Hand-summon reaches the body without a Normal Summon (verified from text)
- Searches another Libromancer monster on summon, a net +1 card (verified from text)
- Widely run: 400 of 400 sampled decks, mostly at 3 copies (observed)
- Strong partner density, with Libromancer Geek Boy in 98.8% of sampled decks (observed)
Weaknesses
- Requires a Ritual monster in hand to activate its hand-summon (verified from text)
- No recorded combo boards, so conversion beyond the search is unmeasured (verified gap)
- No interaction or negation effect (verified from text)
- 1800 ATK / 1800 DEF body is generic and not a board-control threat (inferred)
Counters / choke points
- Interaction that stops the hand-summon or the Ritual monster revealed to enable it (inferred from text)
- Floodgates that stop Special Summons from the hand (inferred from text)
