Magicore Warrior of the Relics — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 45 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 45 · Deck: 45 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Searcher/Tutor
Why it scores here
The card is a 4-Level Warrior whose value depends on controlling an Adventurer Token: it can be Special Summoned from hand only under that condition, and it can Set a Trap mentioning Adventurer Token from the Deck after a battle. Its 2300 ATK earns nothing on its own, and it cannot attack without a token. Its score comes from being a conditional starter and token-gated searcher with a broad deck footprint (281 sampled decks, almost all Adventurer Token or Infernoble Knight lists), tempered by the absence of combo data and the lack of any interaction.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 50 | Hand Special Summon and the deck-to-field Trap Set both require an Adventurer Token already on the field, and the card appears in most sampled decks with 1.22 average copies (observed; the conditions are verified from text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | No recorded combo boards exist (appearances 0), so the conversion from the card to a full board is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 50 | The hand Special Summon costs no card, and the Trap Set moves a Deck card to the field, so card advantage stays roughly even with no graveyard refuel (inferred from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | The card has no negation, removal, or hand-trap effect, so it contributes almost no opponent interaction (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 40 | A Level 4 FIRE Warrior is a usable Warrior-type material, but the text gives no effect-negated body value and no combo evidence of material use (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | The hand-summon route works from any zone-free hand position and the Deck Set adds a second route, but both rely on a single token condition that one negate can break (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 50 | The card is typically run as one copy in a token-based deck, with no garnet lock, but it is dead without the token, which is a mild restriction (observed copy distribution; restriction inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter / Combo enabler + 0.3 Searcher / Tutor. Intrinsic ≈ 45, Deck ≈ 45, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Self-locking restriction (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Conditional hand Special Summon gives a live body when a token is out
- Deck-to-field Trap Set after a battle adds a second route
- Appears in a large, consistent token-based deck sample at 1.22 average copies
- Level 4 FIRE Warrior body is a usable material
Weaknesses
- Cannot attack without an Adventurer Token
- No interaction or negation effect
- Both effects are once per turn and depend on a token and a battle
- No combo evidence to show what it converts into
Counters / choke points
- Monster negation or removal that takes out the Adventurer Token
- Hand traps that stop the hand Special Summon
Best use
Conditional starter and token-gated searcher. Decks: Adventurer Token builds, Infernoble Knight token lines. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Hand Special Summon requires controlling an Adventurer Token (card text); Trap Set from Deck after a battle requires a monster that mentions Adventurer Token (card text); The card cannot attack unless the player controls an Adventurer Token (card text); No combo appearances recorded (combo data)
- Observed: Appears in 281 sampled decks, with 84% in gameplay type 7 (deck data); Average 1.22 copies per deck, with 22 decks at 3 copies (deck data); Strongest partner co-occurrence is Water Enchantress of the Temple and Rite of Aramesir at 99.3% (deck data)
- Inferred: Conditional starter role from the hand-summon and Deck-to-field Trap Set text; Token-gated restriction is a self-locking modifier; Generic utility is capped by the archetype-locked text
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token, so 3 copies (unlimited) assumed usage statistics covers only one archetype with a small historical sample (3 decks)
