Revendread Slayer — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 58 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 53 · Deck: 62 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss/End-board · Secondary: Searcher/Tutor, Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Revendread Slayer is a Ritual engine component that provides both a reliable 2400 ATK board piece and critical GY recovery through Ritual Spell search and Vendread milling. Its high ATK does not earn points; scoring instead rewards 99.4% integration with Revendread Origin and 2.47 copies per deck. The card lacks opponent interaction, requires Ritual setup to access, and has narrow archetype focus, keeping it at 58.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | Accessed via Ritual Summon with any Vendread Ritual Spell, appearing in 99.4% of decks with Revendread Origin and typically run at 2-3 copies (verified from top_partners and copies_per_deck). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | Requires Ritual Summon with materials and produces a 2400 ATK body plus GY-based search and mill effects when sent to the graveyard, enabling continued Ritual recursion (inferred from card text and guide placement in CORE section). |
| Resource Economy | 65 | The search effect recovers Ritual Spells while milling sets up future Ritual Summons, creating roughly even resource economy with GY-focused advantage in recursive Vendread loops (inferred from effect text and guide mention of 'search và mill như hack'). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card provides no negation, removal, or disruption of opponent plays—only a conditional +300 ATK bonus during battle and internal recovery mechanics (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 50 | As a Zombie Level 6, it serves as material for Zombie-based cards, though its Ritual-specific summoning requirements and high level make it awkward for many Synchro/Fusion lines (inferred from card type and frame). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 65 | The GY recovery effect triggers even when the card is removed or discarded, providing multi-turn value through recurring Ritual Spell search (verified from effect text: 'If this Ritual Summoned card is sent to the GY'). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | In Vendread, the card is essentially free since the deck already runs Ritual Spells and GY filling; in secondary decks like Eldlich/Shiranui (4-5% of total), it requires modest Zombie support setup (verified from distinct_archetypes=42 and usage showing 66% Vendread, 34% other). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7×Boss/End-board + 0.3×Searcher/Tutor. Intrinsic ≈ 53, Deck ≈ 62, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40×Intrinsic + 0.60×Deck (decks present, meta unknown)
Strengths
- Reliable 2400 ATK Ritual board piece with no summon restrictions
- Deep integration with Vendread ecosystem (99.4% co-deck with core Ritual Spell)
- GY recovery effect provides recurring search and milling for setup
- Multiple copies (2-3) are consistent without bricking
- Effect triggers even when removed, offering resilience
Weaknesses
- Zero opponent interaction or disruption (no hand trap, negation, or removal)
- Requires Ritual Summon setup (not a freestanding combo piece)
- High ATK (2400) is incidental—the real value is GY recovery, not board presence
- Narrow archetype appeal (66% Vendread, 34% secondary decks)
- No targeting protection or unaffected clauses
Counters / choke points
- Ritual Summon negation (Droll & Lock Bird, Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring)
- Graveyard lock effects (Macro Cosmos, Dimensional Fissure)
- Board wipes and removal spells
- Going-first decks with strong disruption that prevent Ritual-heavy strategies
Best use
Ritual Summoned board piece with GY recovery engine. Decks: Vendread (primary), Eldlich (secondary), Shiranui (secondary). Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Ritual Effect Monster requiring Vendread Ritual Spell to summon (card text); 2400 ATK, Level 6, Zombie type (card text); Search + mill effect triggers when sent to GY (card text); Appears in 100% of sampled Vendread decks (deck data); 99.4% co-deck with Revendread Origin (top_partners data); 100% inclusion in main Vendread archetype variants (usage_statistics)
- Observed: 359 decks running it with 2.47 average copies (copies_per_deck distribution); Runs at 2-3 copies in majority of decks (191 at 3 copies, 146 at 2 copies); 66% of home decks are Vendread, 34% secondary/tech decks (archetypes distribution); Appears across 42 distinct archetypes (distinct_archetypes)
- Inferred: Combo conversion ~55 based on Ritual summoning requirements and GY recovery mechanics (text analysis without combo samples); Runs in secondary decks due to Zombie synergy with Eldlich/Shiranui (card race analysis); Search effect provides resource economy advantage in GY-focused loops (effect text analysis); DeckSynergy ~80 driven by near-universal Vendread presence and top-partner co-deck rates (deck integration analysis)
- Data gaps: No combos supplied—combo_conversion is text-only inference rather than observed board data No banlist token—assumed unlimited copies (no TCG/OCG restrictions evident in formats) No combo examples to verify multi-starter scenarios or end-board power contribution
