Majespecter Cyclone — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 60 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 59 · Deck: 60 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Removal / Negation · Secondary: Utility
Why it scores here
Majespecter Cyclone is a solid removal tool that excels within its home archetype but carries significant restrictions elsewhere. It provides hard removal on a Quick-Play spell, making it flexible for reactive use, but requires tributing a WIND Spellcaster monster—a cost that is trivial in Majespecter (80% inclusion) but severely limits accessibility in other archetypes. The card generates no card advantage and plays a utility role rather than driving combos, placing it squarely in the mid-tier range.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 65 | Highly accessible in Majespecter with 80% inclusion rate, but the WIND Spellcaster tribute requirement restricts use in other archetypes. (verified) |
| Combo & Conversion | 30 | Appears in 100% of recorded combos (2/2) but never as a starter, search target, or payoff piece, functioning solely as utility removal. (observed) |
| Resource Economy | 45 | Roughly neutral exchange (tribute one monster, destroy one opponent monster) with no refuel or card advantage generated. (verified) |
| Effect & Interaction | 70 | Provides hard removal via destruction on a Quick-Play spell, enabling reactive use, but is single-target and vulnerable to negation. (verified) |
| Material Utility | 5 | As a Spell Card, offers no inherent material utility and actually consumes monster resources via its tribute cost. (verified) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | Quick-Play timing and Spell-type make it resilient to monster removal, but single-use and dependent on having an available tribute target. (inferred) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 68 | Clean, low-cost inclusion in Majespecter with no locking effects; becomes a restrictive tech in other archetypes due to tribute requirement. (observed) |
Calculation
Weight profile: Primary role: Removal / Negation. Intrinsic ≈ 59, Deck ≈ 60, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Hard removal on a Quick-Play spell enables reactive use
- 80% inclusion rate in primary Majespecter archetype demonstrates reliable fit
- Consistent partner with multiple Majespecter monsters (Crow, Raccoon, Porcupine, Toad)
- No once-per-turn restriction allows multiple uses per game
Weaknesses
- Requires tributing a WIND Spellcaster monster, limiting accessibility outside specific archetypes
- Utility role—does not generate card advantage or drive combos
- Single-target removal vulnerable to negation and targeting-immune monsters
- Restrictive archetype and monster-type requirements severely limit cross-deck splashability
Counters / choke points
- Targeting-immune monsters completely negate Cyclone's effect
- Negation effects (Ash Blossom, Called by the Grave) shut down the removal
- Decks running primarily non-WIND or non-Spellcaster monsters struggle to pay the tribute cost
Best use
Removal / Control tool. Decks: Majespecter, Dracoslayer. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card effect: Tribute 1 WIND Spellcaster-Type monster, target 1 opponent monster, destroy it; Appears in 400 decks analyzed; 80% inclusion in Majespecter archetype per usage statistics; Top partners are Majespecter monsters and staple hand traps like Ash Blossom; Runs at 1.18 copies per deck average
- Observed: 100% appearance in 2 recorded combo examples; Never appears as starter (0%), searched (0%), payoff (0%), or material piece (0%); Average power index 85 when present in combos suggests strong supporting role in high-power boards; Appears across 27 distinct archetypes but heavily concentrated in Majespecter and Dracoslayer; Quick-Play spell with no once-per-turn restriction
- Inferred: Quick-Play timing enables reactive use against opponent board actions; WIND Spellcaster cost severely restricts accessibility and cross-archetype splashability; Hard destruction mechanic is stronger than bounce or return effects but single-target limits board impact; Spell-type provides resilience against monster-based interaction
- Data gaps: Only 2 combo examples limits confidence in structural role within combo lines No top-card ranking data—card does not appear in meta statistics suggesting it is not a format-defining piece Combo evidence is thin; card appears but with no structured role (not starter, searched, payoff, or material)
