Libromancer Firestarter — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 50 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 48.6 · Deck: 51.7 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss / End-board · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Libromancer Firestarter is a Ritual monster whose value depends on the Libromancer engine that summons it, and it is played in nearly every Libromancer sample deck (195 decks, 1.22 copies average), so it is reliably accessible inside that home. Its text gives it a self-protection clause when Ritual Summoned from field monsters and an ATK gain on each opponent activation, which earns resilience and a modest end-board role. It converts into a body rather than card advantage or disruption, and no recorded boards exist to show its real conversion, so the score stays near the middle. Its high ATK and 1800 DEF earn no points.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 62 | Played in 195 of 195 sampled decks across four Libromancer archetype IDs, with Libromancer Geek Boy and Libromancer Fire as top partners (verified deck stats; route via Libromancer ritual reveal is inferred from text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | No combo boards are recorded for this card, so conversion rests on text alone: it becomes a single Ritual body that grows over time (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | The card generates no card advantage or refuel; it is a one-for-one body whose ATK growth is conditional (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 30 | Provides no negation, removal, or hand-trap reach; its opponent-activation trigger only grows ATK (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 40 | Level 3 Fire Cyberse ritual body with no recorded material usage; usefulness as material is inferred from level and attribute only (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | Cannot be destroyed or banished by card effects when Ritual Summoned from field monsters, which resists common removal in that line (verified from text; frequency of that line is inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 65 | Runs at one copy in most decks with no garnet or lock, so it is cheap to include (observed copies distribution; 169 of 195 decks at 1 copy). |
