Officiator of Doom Samuel — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 56 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 55 · Deck: 57.5 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Removal / Negation · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Officiator of Doom Samuel converts a Rank 6 Xyz body into a Special Summon of a Zombie from the GY plus a conditional negate, with a second once-per-turn GY effect that shuffles a monster from either GY. Its value is the negate, but it is capped at monsters with ATK at or below the summoned Zombie's ATK (1100 at most), so high-ATK threats are outside its reach. The 1100 ATK and 2600 DEF do not earn points; the score comes from the detach-cost quick effect and its presence in 119 recent decks across 26 archetypes. The absence of combo data keeps conversion and synergy scores moderate.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Needs a summoned Rank 6 Xyz with material and a Zombie in the GY; it is live in 119 recent decks, with Droll & Lock Bird and Ash Blossom as frequent partners, but there is no combo starter or searcher data (observed/inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | The text gives one body and one negate per detach; no recorded board shows it building into a larger end-board, so conversion is limited to a single exchange (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | Costs one material to Special Summon a Zombie and negate, with no card draw; the GY shuffle is card-neutral (verified/inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 48 | A quick-effect negate, but limited to monsters with ATK at or below the summoned Zombie's ATK, so it does not reach high-ATK threats (verified). |
| Material Utility | 30 | A Rank 6 Xyz monster that is not a generic material for other summons; it has no reported material-role evidence (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 62 | Two effects that work from the field and the GY, each once per turn, so it has more than one usable spot (verified/inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 72 | Runs one copy in most decks with average 1.07 copies, no garnets or locks, and is easy to fit into Zombie and multi-archetype builds (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Removal/Negation + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 55, Deck ≈ 57.5, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Quick-effect negate usable on the opponent's turn for monsters at or below the summoned Zombie's ATK
- Two effects that work from the field and the GY, giving more than one usable spot
- Present in 119 recent decks across 26 archetypes, so it fits many homes
- Single-copy inclusion with no garnets, so it is easy to run
Weaknesses
- Negate is capped at monsters with ATK at or below the summoned Zombie's ATK
- Needs a Zombie in the GY and a Rank 6 Xyz with material already on the field
- Each effect is once per turn, and the detach cost is paid before the negate resolves
- No combo evidence, so conversion beyond one exchange is unproven
Counters / choke points
- High-ATK monsters that exceed the negate's ATK cap
- Going second with the Xyz and Zombie in the GY removed or unavailable
- Interruption of the Special Summon before the negate is applied
Best use
Removal / Negation. Decks: Eldlich, Ryzeal, Blitzclique, Vampires, Zombies. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Rank 6 DARK Zombie Xyz Monster, ATK 1100, DEF 2600, archetype Death, in TCG, OCG and MasterDuel (card text); Quick effect detaches 1 material to Special Summon a Zombie from the GY, then negates one monster with ATK at or below that Zombie's ATK (card text); GY effect shuffles 1 monster from either GY into the Deck, and each effect is once per turn (card text)
- Observed: Appears in 119 recent decks, 57.1% in gameplay type 7 and 35.3% in type 6 (decks_evidence); Spans 26 distinct archetypes, with Eldlich at 23.5% (decks_evidence); Average 1.07 copies per deck, with a maximum of 2 (decks_evidence); Droll & Lock Bird co-occurs in 85.7% of decks and Ash Blossom in 82.4% (decks_evidence); Inclusion of 100% and one copy in Zombies gameplay type 4 (usage_statistics)
- Inferred: The negate is limited by the ATK ceiling of the summoned Zombie, so it is weak against high-ATK monsters (card text); Resilience comes from two effects across field and GY, each limited to once per turn (card text)
- Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) guides are informal and do not give ruling or matchup data
