Why it scores here
Red-Eyes Transmigration is essential to Red-Eyes combos, enabling Lord of the Red Ritual Summons that result in 2–3 end monsters with +2–3 card advantage across high-power boards (84.7 average). It is highly accessible through Red-Eyes Insight tutoring (91.3% co-deck rate) and runs efficiently at 1.93 copies per deck. However, the card provides zero opponent interaction, is vulnerable to a single negation, and offers no recovery or resilience once activated.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 88 | Red-Eyes Insight tutors it in 91.3% of decks, and 91.67% inclusion in main Red-Eyes makes it consistently available despite being a ritual spell. (verified) |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | The card enables Lord of the Red summons that result in 2–3 end monsters and +2–3 card advantage, with resulting boards averaging 84.7 power index across three recorded combos. (observed) |
| Resource Economy | 70 | Ritual Spells cost tributed/banished materials, but the resulting boards show net +2 to +3 card advantage, creating an overall positive resource line. (observed) |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | Red-Eyes Transmigration has no negation, removal, or disruption effects—it purely enables a Ritual Summon with zero opponent interaction. (verified) |
| Material Utility | 15 | As a Spell card, it cannot serve as synchro/xyz/link material and has no special material properties for other effects. (inferred) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 25 | A single negation before activation prevents the Ritual Summon entirely, with no recovery or multi-turn utility; the card offers no redundancy or flexibility. (inferred) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 72 | Tutored by Red-Eyes Insight and running at 1.93 copies per deck without becoming a garnet, though highly archetype-specific (91.67% main Red-Eyes, limited splash in Branded/Harpie). (verified) |
