Lord British Space Fighter

Lord British Space Fighter — Power Evaluation

Final Score: 53 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium

• Intrinsic: 56.59 · Deck: 50.25 · Meta: provisional
• Primary role: Material body · Secondary: Board breaker

Why it scores here

Lord British Space Fighter is a clean Level 4 LIGHT Machine material piece that bridges multiple unrelated archetypes with 1200 ATK and straightforward summoning. Its conditional battle effects—extra attack, backrow removal, or token generation—provide reactive board interaction but lack combo synergy (zero recorded combos despite appearing in 15 decks). The 1200 ATK body and lack of auto-advantage effects limit its scaling; power comes from cross-archetype splashability, not from reliable value generation.

Axis scores

Calculation

Weight profile: 0.7 Material body + 0.3 Board breaker. Intrinsic ≈ 56.59, Deck ≈ 50.25, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck

Strengths

• Clean generic Level 4 LIGHT Machine with no summoning restrictions
• Splashable across 7 distinct archetypes without garnet risk
• Three optional effects (extra attack, backrow removal, token) provide flexibility
• Runs successfully at 1–3 copies per deck

Weaknesses

• Battle-dependent effect is unreliable; 1200 ATK makes combat success uncertain
• Effects are one-time only per battle; no repeatable value generation
• No synergy with recorded combo lines (zero combo appearances)
• Reactive interaction only; no proactive disruption or control

Counters / choke points

• Negation during battle declaration
• Removal before battle execution
• Opponent with no monsters to attack
• Stronger monsters blocking successful combat

Best use

Level 4 material in Synchro/Xyz shells; reactive second-turn interaction. Decks: Junk (3 decks), Wind-Up (2 decks), Ninja (2 decks), Metaphys (2 decks).

Evidence & gaps

• Verified: Level 4 LIGHT Machine with 1200 ATK / 800 DEF and no summoning restrictions (card text); Battle-dependent effect: requires this card to destroy an opponent's monster to activate (card text); Three conditional effects: extra attack, destroy Set card, or Special Summon Multi Token (card text); Appears in 15 decks across 7 distinct archetypes, all main deck (deck evidence); Runs 1–3 copies per deck with no garnet or brick issues (deck evidence); All formats legal: TCG, OCG, MasterDuel, DuelLinks (card data)
• Observed: 66.7% of decks running it are going-second gameplay types (deck evidence); Average 1.73 copies per deck; distribution: 7 decks run 1, 5 run 2, 3 run 3 (deck evidence); Zero combo board appearances recorded in sample (combo data); Top partners are diverse generics: Jade Knight, Victory Viper, Blue Thunder T-45, Colossal Fighter (deck evidence)
• Inferred: Token generation provides one board presence (from card text and game rules); Extra attack enables potential multi-kill or persistent damage (from card text and game rules); Backrow removal interacts with opponent's Set cards (from card text and game rules); Broad archetype inclusion suggests use as generic splashable material, not as synergistic core piece (from deck diversity vs. zero combos)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied—combo conversion is text-only inference; zero recorded appearances despite 15 deck runs No guides supplied—no expert guidance on optimal role or context No banlist token—assumed 3 copies (unlimited) No usage statistics (StatisticsCard)—archetype inclusion % inferred from 15-deck sample only, may not reflect broader meta
