You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by sending 1 Level 4 or lower monster from your hand to the Graveyard. If you do, decrease this card's Level by the Level of that monster. If this card attacks or is attacked, until the end of the Damage Step any effect damage you take becomes 0.
Power Giant — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 59 ± 4 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 60 · Deck: 61 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body · Secondary: Extender
Why it scores here
Power Giant is a solid Level 6 EARTH Rock body that anchors Earth-heavy archetypes like Adamancipator, Fossil, and Egyptian God by providing flexible Synchro/Tuner material with configurable Level. The Special Summon cost (sending a low-level monster to GY) is efficiently absorbed by these decks, which already leverage GY effects, but the card does not generate forward momentum on its own—it extends rather than accelerates. The damage prevention is situational, applying only to effect damage during the Damage Step, and does not compensate for the card's dependence on archetype synergy; outside Earth/Rock shells, it becomes a hand clog.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Accessible via easy Special Summon in Adamancipator (25% of decks) and Fossil (25%) shells, but garnets in non-synergistic decks; the 2.2-copy average reflects archetype dependency (verified) |
| Combo & Conversion | 50 | Adds a Level 6 body with tunable Level via GY send; no standalone combo lines evident from zero recorded combo appearances; text-only assessment is incremental value as extender (inferred) |
| Resource Economy | 55 | Costs −1 card (hand monster sent to GY) for +1 body on field; net −1 card advantage mitigated by synergistic GY effects in Adamancipator/Fossil decks where sent monsters have value (observed) |
| Effect & Interaction | 28 | Damage prevention triggers only on effect damage during Damage Step when attacking or attacked; narrow protection that does not counter mainstream removal, negation, or battle damage (verified) |
| Material Utility | 72 | Clean Level 6 EARTH Rock body; Level reduction from sending low-level monsters creates flexible Synchro/Tuner material; remains useful as material when effect is negated or blanked; high co-appearance with Block Dragon (60%) and Adamancipator cards (30%) confirm material value (verified) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Single-summon play with no built-in recursion or multi-turn presence; no GY/banish engine; survives one Damage Step but lacks redundancy or recovery paths (inferred) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Minimal deck restriction in Earth/Rock shells where it excels (Adamancipator, Fossil, Egyptian God represent 60% of runs), but becomes a slot-waster outside these archetypes; bimodal copy distribution (1 or 3) with 60% running 3 copies indicates core status when included, not a flex slot (observed) |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 × Material body + 0.3 × Extender. Intrinsic ≈ 60, Deck ≈ 61, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Garnet risk outside synergistic shells (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Flexible Synchro/Tuner material with Level reduction
- Synergistic in dedicated Earth/Rock archetypes (Adamancipator, Fossil, Egyptian God)
- Easily summoned from hand in the right shell
- Efficient GY send cost in decks with GY synergy
Weaknesses
- No standalone combo generation; purely a support/extender body
- Requires specific setup (Level 4 or lower monsters in hand) outside dedicated shells
- Damage prevention is situational (effect damage only, Damage Step only)
- No recursion or multi-turn presence; one-off summon
- High garnet risk in non-synergistic decks
Counters / choke points
- Decks with no Level 4 or lower searchable bodies
- Decks not leveraging EARTH/Rock synergy
- Direct damage / burn strategies not reliant on effect damage
Best use
Synchro/Tuner body; archetype synergy material. Decks: Adamancipator, Fossil, Egyptian God, Resonator. Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 6 EARTH Rock Effect Monster with 2200 ATK/0 DEF; Special Summon from hand by sending Level 4 or lower from hand to GY; Level reduction by sent monster's Level; Effect damage prevention during Damage Step when attacking/attacked; Runs in 20 recent decks (latest 2026-09-29), 9 distinct archetypes; Bimodal copy distribution: 1 copy (8 decks), 3 copies (12 decks); Top partners: Block Dragon (60%), Foolish Burial (40%), Adamancipator cards (30%)
- Observed: 25% of sample decks are Adamancipator archetype; 20% are Egyptian God archetype; 25% total are Fossil archetype; High co-appearance with Block Dragon (60%) indicates Rock/EARTH synergy value; Consistent inclusion at 2.2 copies average in Adamancipator/Fossil/Egyptian God shells; 70% of decks use gameplay type 7 (likely combo-heavy formats); Zero combo appearances (0% of recorded combos) indicates no multi-card combo lines
- Inferred: Level reduction creates flexible Synchro/Tuner material alignment; Damage prevention is narrow (effect damage only, Damage Step only); soft interaction; Resource economy is −1 card mitigated by synergistic GY effects in target shells; Accessibility is archetype-dependent; card garnets outside Earth/Rock shells; No searchable route; all 20 decks run it as natural inclusion via synergy, not search; Primary role is material body; secondary extender role based on Level flexibility
- Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo conversion is text-only inference, confidence in multi-card combo role is low No guides supplied; no secondary context on role or usage patterns in deck guides No banlist token provided; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) based on no restrictions mentioned No usage statistics (StatisticsCard); archetype inclusion % inferred from 20-deck sample only, not historical trend data No ruled interactions documented; damage prevention and Level reduction timing assumed to follow standard ruling
