Megalith Anastasis — Power Evaluation

Why it scores here
Megalith Anastasis converts a single discard into two Megalith searches (one Level 4 or lower, one Level 8 or higher), which is a reliable +1 card advantage that keeps the Megalith Ritual engine supplied. Its second effect, which triggers on a Megalith Ritual Summon, adds optional draw-and-discard or a tribute of an opponent's monster, but it only fires on that trigger and is situational. The card is a Spell with no body, so its ATK and DEF are irrelevant, and the score rests on search reliability, card advantage and the very high deck inclusion in the Megalith archetype. Archetype lock limits how portable it is, so generic-utility credit is capped.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 80 | Once-per-turn search of two Megalith monsters from Deck for a single discard, with 251 of 251 sampled decks running it at an average of 2.7 copies (verified). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | No combo boards recorded, so conversion is inferred from text only: searches feed the Ritual Summon trigger, which is the engine's main payoff (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 80 | Discard one card to add two monsters is a net +1 card, and the optional draw-2-discard-1 mode adds further selection (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 45 | Tribute of an opponent's monster is available only on a Megalith Ritual Summon and only once per turn, so it is situational interaction (verified text, inferred impact). |
| Material Utility | 5 | Continuous Spell with no body to use as material, so the axis scores only on being a non-material card (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | The search is a hand activation that a generic spell negate can stop, while the continuous-spell trigger stays on field and can be destroyed (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Run at 3 copies in 199 of 251 decks with no garnet or lock, but it is dead outside Megalith monsters (observed; archetype lock inferred from text). |

Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Discard 1 card to add 2 Megalith monsters (one Level 4 or lower, one Level 8 or higher) from Deck to hand, once per turn; Ritual Summon trigger offers draw 2 then discard 1, or tribute 1 opponent monster, once per turn per effect; 251 decks run it at an average of 2.7 copies; 199 decks run 3 copies; Co-occurs in 99.2% of decks with Megalith Bethor, Megalith Hagith, Megalith Notrah Plura and Megalith Phul
- Observed: 84.9% of decks are gameplay type 7; 13.9% are type 4; Usage statistics show 100% inclusion in the Megalith type 7 and Koa'ki Meiru type 4 homes
- Inferred: Search reliability makes the card the main accessibility driver for the Megalith line; Ritual trigger is the main payoff path, though no combo boards confirm it; Generic spell negation and destruction are the realistic answers
- Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) Megalith appears under two archetype ids (724 and 191); frequency of Ritual Summon triggers not supplied
