Light Law Medium — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 54 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 54 · Deck: 54 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Board breaker / Going-second
Why it scores here
Light Law Medium is a 2-Level, 400-ATK Light Fairy whose value is entirely in its battle-phase effect: it forces opposing Attack Position monsters to attack it and, once per turn, negates an attack involving an opposing Attack Position monster while inflicting half that monster's ATK as damage. Its 400 ATK earns nothing; the score comes from the effect's situational interaction and its cheap, flexible deck slot. With no combo evidence, the card is scored as a defensive field piece that does not build a board, so its combo and resource axes stay low.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 50 | It is run in 26 recent decks at about 1.69 copies each, so it is actually drawn and played, but the evidence names no searcher or summon route (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 25 | The card has zero recorded combo boards and its text shows no board-building step, so conversion is near zero (inferred from text and combos_evidence). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | Negating an attack deals damage but gives no card advantage, search or recursion (inferred from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 55 | It offers a once-per-turn attack negation and a forced-attack lock, both conditional on opposing Attack Position monsters, so it is useful but situational (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 45 | As a Level 2 Light Fairy non-Tuner body it fits generic Level 2 material requirements, but no material use is recorded in the evidence (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | It works only while face-up on the field and one removal or negation ends it; the once-per-turn limit adds little redundancy (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | It is a cheap single-copy slot with no garnet or lock restriction, and deck usage spans 1 to 3 copies (observed from decks_evidence). |
Calculation
