2 Level 6 monsters You can also Xyz Summon this card by detaching 1 Xyz Material from a Rank 5 Xyz Monster you control, then using that Xyz Monster as the Xyz Material. (Xyz Materials attached to that monster also become Xyz Materials on this card.) This card gains 1000 ATK for each Xyz Material attached to it. Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; destroy all Defense Position monsters your opponent controls.
Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 57 ± 5 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 57 · Deck: 58 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Board breaker / Going-second · Secondary: Extender, Material body
Why it scores here
Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice scores as a situational board-wipe utility in Xyz-heavy decks. While its DEF-only destruction effect is limited by modern positioning strategies where most competitive decks attack with their monsters, the card gains accessibility through its secondary Xyz summon from Rank 5, which is cleanly implemented in RaidRaptor (31.1% of 286 decks) and Phantom Knights (29.7%). With consistent adoption across 51 distinct archetypes, it demonstrates reliable splashability as a utility slot; however, the one-material resource cost, lack of card advantage generation, and outdated DEF-only restriction prevent it from reaching higher power tiers.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 75 | Accessible via secondary Xyz summon from Rank 5 in RaidRaptor and Phantom Knights without requiring direct Level 6 tutor (verified) |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | No combo build capability; functions as finisher/interrupter rather than extender with zero intrinsic combo generation (inferred) |
| Resource Economy | 38 | Costs 1 Xyz Material for situational DEF destruction with no refund mechanism or card advantage; pure −1 trade (verified) |
| Effect & Interaction | 45 | Destroys all DEF Position monsters but DEF-only scope severely limits applicability against modern decks that frequently attack or switch to ATK (verified) |
| Material Utility | 61 | Rank 6 Aqua/WATER body with 500/500 base stats, but ATK scaling to 2500–4500 with materials makes it viable as stepping stone to Rank 7+ plays (inferred) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 42 | Single once-per-turn effect with no protection, recursion, or recovery; vulnerable to negation, bouncing, and position switching (verified) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 68 | Runs as 1-of utility in 277/286 decks with minimal garnet risk thanks to secondary Xyz summon; splashes into 51 distinct archetypes (observed) |
Calculation
Weight profile: Board breaker / Going-second role. Intrinsic ≈ 57, Deck ≈ 58, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: DEF-only limitation (-3); High splashability (2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Splashable across 51 archetypes as a board wipe utility
- Secondary Xyz summon from Rank 5 provides practical accessibility in Xyz-heavy decks
- Consistent adoption (286 decks, 1-of in 277/286) demonstrates reliable utility role
- ATK scaling to 2500+ with materials enables higher Rank stepping-stone plays
Weaknesses
- DEF-only destruction is outdated; modern decks frequently attack or switch positions
- Resource cost of 1 material for situational effect (not all opponent boards have DEF Position monsters)
- No card advantage, recursion, or recovery mechanisms
- Low base stats (500/500) unless heavily materialed
- Once-per-turn limitation restricts multi-turn board control value
Counters / choke points
- Switching to ATK Position negates the destruction effect entirely
- Negation before effect resolution (Effect Veiler, Infinite Impermanence) stops the board wipe
- Bounce effects (Abyss Dweller, Castel the Dragon of Destruction) remove the monster before activation
- Banishing effects bypass the destruction mechanic
Best use
Rank 6 Xyz finisher and DEF Position board wipe utility. Decks: RaidRaptor, Phantom Knights, Nekroz, Other Xyz-centric strategies. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: 2 Level 6 summon requirement (card text); Secondary Xyz summon from Rank 5 with material inheritance (card text); Gains 1000 ATK per material attached (card text); Once per turn: detach 1 material, destroy all DEF Position monsters (card text); Primary homes are RaidRaptor (31.1%) and Phantom Knights (29.7%) in 286-deck sample (deck evidence); Runs across 51 distinct archetypes (deck evidence); Most decks run 1 copy (277/286, 96.9%) (deck evidence)
- Observed: 286 decks in sample with consistent adoption across gameplay type 7 (86% of decks, likely control/midrange focus); Top partners are all generic staples with no archetype-specific tutors, confirming pure utility slot role; High splashability ratio (51 archetypes / 286 decks) indicates independence from single-archetype synergy
- Inferred: Secondary Xyz summon makes it accessible without needing direct Level 6 tutor searches in Xyz-heavy homes; DEF-only destruction scope is limited against modern attacking-focused boards where ATK Position is dominant; Rank 6 position enables stepping stone to higher Rank materials via material inheritance and ATK scaling; One-of adoption pattern suggests it fills a specific niche role that decks want once per deck, not redundantly
- Data gaps: No combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference with no worked board examples No guides supplied — human context on practical role and meta positioning unavailable No banlist token — assumed unlimited (3 copies) in all formats No usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from 286-deck sample only; historical consistency and format-specific trends unknown
