Primite Fusion — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 55 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 55 · Deck: 54 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Searcher/Tutor
Why it scores here
Primite Fusion's score comes from what it converts into: a Fusion Summon of a Dragon Fusion monster from the Extra Deck, plus a Graveyard banish that searches a Level 5+ Primite monster. Its 400/400 deck inclusion, 49 archetypes and 99%+ partner rates confirm it is a reliable staple, but that is frequency, not power, so it adds only through the accessibility and deckbuilding axes. There are no combo boards, so the conversion value is text-inferred and the confidence stays at Medium. The Spell has no ATK, no material body and no interaction, so those axes score near zero.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Live in hand and recoverable from the Graveyard, but the Fusion route needs a Normal Monster and Primite-specific partners; no starter or searched data is supplied (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 70 | Text converts one card into a Dragon Fusion from the Extra Deck, and partners Primite Dragon Ether Beryl and Primite Lordly Lode sit in 99%+ of decks (verified, observed). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | The Spell is a 1-for-1 Fusion activation, and the Graveyard banish gives a card from Deck/GY to hand, so the net gain depends on which route is used (verified, inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card has no negation, removal or hand-trap effect of its own (verified). |
| Material Utility | 0 | A Spell card cannot be Fusion or Xyz material, so it has no body value (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Its two effects work from hand and Graveyard, but each is a single activation that a common negation can stop, and it is typically run as one copy (inferred, observed). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Typically one copy (avg 1.05) across 49 archetypes, with no garnet or lock, but it needs Primite-leaning partners to pay off (verified, observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter/Combo enabler + 0.3 Searcher/Tutor. Intrinsic ≈ 55, Deck ≈ 54, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Converts one Spell into a Dragon Fusion from the Extra Deck, a real board-level payoff via the Primite line.
- Graveyard banish searches a Level 5+ Primite monster, giving a second route once it is in the GY.
- Present in all 400 sampled decks across 49 archetypes, so it is a dependable, portable staple.
Weaknesses
- No ATK, no material body and no interaction; its power sits entirely in the Fusion and search text.
- Fusion Summon requires a Normal Monster and specific Extra Deck targets, which limits it outside Primite and Dragon Fusion homes.
- No combo boards supplied, so the conversion strength is text-inferred and cannot be checked against observed boards.
Counters / choke points
- Opponent negation of the Spell activation, such as Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (inferred from generic effect-activation rules, not observed in the evidence).
Best use
Starter / Combo enabler. Decks: Primite, Blue-Eyes, Dark Magician, Red-Eyes. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: Fusion Summon of a Dragon Fusion from the Extra Deck, GY banish to add a Level 5+ Primite, each effect once per turn.; Decks: 400/400 include it, avg 1.05 copies, 49 distinct archetypes.
- Observed: Partners: Primite Dragon Ether Beryl 99.8%, Primite Lordly Lode 99.5%, Primite Drillbeam 97%.; Primite archetype share 25.2%.
- Inferred: Starter role from the Fusion-summon text; no combo data confirms it.; Net card advantage depends on route used.; Negation exposure to Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is generic rule knowledge, not evidence.
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard): archetype inclusion inferred from the 400-deck sample only
