Phoenixian Seed — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 38 ± 7 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 41 · Deck: 39 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Combo enabler
Why it scores here
Phoenixian Seed scores here as a narrow, conditional extender that converts a face-up field presence plus a Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis in hand into a free Special Summon, saving the Normal Summon in Plant-engine combo decks. Its effect is entirely dependent on a two-piece setup, provides zero opponent interaction, and is useless without Amaryllis already drawn. ATK, DEF, and rarity contributed nothing to this score — the card earns its points purely from what it enables in a specific Plant strategy context, and the absence of any combo evidence limits how precisely that value can be confirmed.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 35 | The card must be face-up on the field and Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis must be in hand simultaneously before the effect resolves — a two-condition requirement that limits how consistently it comes online (inferred from card text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | Sends itself to GY to Special Summon Amaryllis from hand without spending the Normal Summon, extending Plant combo lines — value is real but strictly conditional on a specific two-piece configuration with no combo board data to confirm output (inferred from card text). |
| Resource Economy | 38 | Sends itself to GY to Special Summon from hand — card-neutral at best, with no draw or search attached; the main gain is a free summon action rather than card advantage (verified from card text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The effect produces zero opponent interaction — it is entirely an internal combo action with no disruption, negation, or removal (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 48 | Level 2 FIRE Plant body can serve as non-Tuner Synchro material and fills the GY for potential Plant-recursion triggers; serviceable but not exceptional (inferred from type line and Plant engine context). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 28 | The effect is single-use and requires both face-up field presence and a specific hand card simultaneously — one disruption to either condition ends its usefulness, and it has no fallback value (inferred from card text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 42 | All 31 sampled decks run exactly 1 copy, minimizing brick draws; however, it is dead without Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis in hand, creating a conditional dead-card scenario (observed from deck data). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Combo enabler blend. Intrinsic ≈ 41, Deck ≈ 39, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Setup dependency penalty (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Provides a free Special Summon of Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis without spending the Normal Summon
- Level 2 Plant body functions as non-Tuner Synchro material in Plant-engine combo decks
- Only 1 copy needed per deck, minimizing brick potential
- Consistent inclusion across five distinct Plant-adjacent archetypes confirms a real, repeatable role
Weaknesses
- Requires face-up field presence before the effect can activate — must be summoned first
- Requires Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis specifically in hand — completely dead without it
- Provides zero opponent interaction at any point
- Single-use effect with no recovery path if disrupted
Counters / choke points
- Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring negates the Special Summon triggered by the send
- Removing Phoenixian Seed before it can use its effect (destruction, bounce, flip face-down) shuts off the line
- Discarding or banishing Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis from hand eliminates the only valid target
Best use
Free Special Summon extender for Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis, preserving the Normal Summon for another Plant combo piece. Decks: Rose Dragon Plant, Synchron Plant, Archfiend Plant, Lightsworn Plant, Ally of Justice Plant. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card effect: send this face-up card to GY to Special Summon 1 Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis from hand; Level 2 FIRE Plant with 800 ATK / 0 DEF; Legal in TCG, OCG, and Master Duel formats; 31 decks sampled, all running exactly 1 copy in main deck with no side copies
- Observed: 100% co-occurrence with Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis, Lonefire Blossom, Miracle Fertilizer, Mark of the Rose, and Black Rose Dragon across all 31 decks; Appears across 5 distinct archetypes: Rose Dragon, Synchron, Archfiend, Lightsworn, Ally of Justice; All 31 sampled decks belong to a single gameplay type (id 7), indicating a format-specific niche
- Inferred: Primary use is to enable a free Special Summon without spending the Normal Summon in Plant combo lines; Level 2 body can serve as non-Tuner Synchro material in decks running Synchro plays; The card is likely accessed via Lonefire Blossom or drawn naturally, then used when Amaryllis is in hand
- Data gaps: No combos supplied — combo conversion role and board output are text-only inference No guides supplied — no human context confirming specific usage lines No banlist token — assumed 3 copies unlimited across all formats No usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion inferred from 31-deck sample only Exact combo lines not documented — unclear whether Phoenixian Seed is fetched from deck or drawn naturally
