Why it scores here
Reindsurm Butterfly is a Spell whose main effect sends 2 Deck monsters to the GY (one must be an Insect), which only fuels a GY/Insect line and does not draw or add card advantage. Its GY effect, after an Insect Ritual Summon, banishes itself to give Reindsurm monsters +800 ATK/DEF, a modest, archetype-locked payoff gated by a once-per-turn limit. The Special Summon lock until the end of the next turn is a real self-restriction and is priced into deckbuilding. High ATK/DEF or the Reindsurm name earned no points; the score rests on text alone because no deck, combo, or guide evidence was supplied.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 40 | Spell that must be in hand; no searcher or deck evidence supplied, so access is inferred as moderate (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | Fuels an Insect Ritual Summon and gives a +800 ATK/DEF pump to Reindsurm bodies, but no combo boards were supplied to confirm the line (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 35 | Sends 2 monsters from Deck to GY with no draw or search; the GY effect costs a banish, so there is no net card advantage (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No negation, removal, or hand-trap reach in the text (verified). |
| Material Utility | 0 | A Spell cannot be used as material, so the body contributes nothing here (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | The GY effect gives a second use after resolution, but it needs a specific Insect Ritual Summon and is once per turn (verified). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 40 | Single-copy-style Spell with an archetype-locked payoff and a Special Summon restriction that constrains the rest of the deck (verified). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Utility (default) + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 32, Deck ≈ —, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: Final = Intrinsic (provisional; Deck = null, no decks or combos supplied)
Strengths
- Deck-to-GY send enables an Insect Ritual Summon line
- GY effect gives a second use after resolution
- Reindsurm pump of +800 ATK/DEF on the whole board when it triggers
Weaknesses
- No card advantage or draw
- Insect-only requirement and once-per-turn limit on both effects
- Special Summon lock until the end of the next turn blocks non-Insect summons
- Cannot be material and offers no interaction
Counters / choke points
- Opponent can respond to the activation or the GY trigger, since the effects are not negation-proof
Best use
Utility Spell that fuels Insect Ritual Summons and pumps Reindsurm monsters from the GY. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Main effect sends 2 Deck monsters to the GY, one must be an Insect (card text); GY effect banishes the card after an Insect Ritual Summon to give Reindsurm monsters +800 ATK/DEF (card text); Once-per-turn limit on the effect and the Special Summon lock until the end of the next turn, except Insect monsters (card text)
- Inferred: Fuel for Insect Ritual Summon lines is the intended route; Pump value depends on how many Reindsurm monsters are on board
- Data gaps: no decks supplied: deck/synergy signals unavailable no combos supplied: combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard): archetype inclusion unknown no banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) race field reads 'Normal' on a Spell, which is a data oddity; not used in scoring
