If only your opponent controls a monster, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). If Summoned this way, treat this card as a Tuner. You can only Special Summon "Rose Princess" once per turn this way. You can discard this card; add 1 "White Rose Cloister" from your Deck to your hand.
Rose Princess — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 70 ± 5 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 67 · Deck: 72 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher / Tutor · Secondary: Combo enabler, Material body
Why it scores here
Rose Princess drives Rose Dragon consistency through dual access routes: the discard effect adds White Rose Cloister while the conditional special summon as a Tuner unlocks Synchro plays in going-second scenarios. It is core to the archetype (98.7% co-deck rate with Black Rose Dragon) but fundamentally a support enabler rather than a board-maker on its own. The lack of combo data prevents verification of exact board conversion, so scoring reflects its demonstrated deck integration and reliable searcher function against the absence of independent board-building capability.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | Can be normal summoned anytime or special summoned conditionally when opponent controls a monster; heavily co-runs with White Rose Cloister (96.1% of decks), showing reliable access paths. (observed) |
| Combo & Conversion | 65 | As a Tuner special summon, enables Synchro plays; discarding adds White Rose Cloister to hand, but the effect itself does not build a complete board without additional pieces; no combo data supplied to verify board impact. (inferred) |
| Resource Economy | 68 | Discard effect provides card-neutral cycling through White Rose Cloister; special summon is a free field body when opponent controls a monster, enabling downstream value in Rose Dragon sequences. (verified) |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | Card provides no disruption, negation, or removal capability; purely supports internal deck synergies with zero opponent interaction. (verified) |
| Material Utility | 72 | When special summoned, becomes a Tuner usable for Synchro plays; Level 3 EARTH Plant type provides flexible material utility for Synchro-dependent lines even when effect is negated. (verified) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 70 | Multiple access routes (summon, add, search); only the special summon is restricted to once per turn, allowing the discard effect to cycle repeatedly across multiple turns for sustained value. (verified) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | Reasonable 1200 ATK / 800 DEF stats with no garnet or brick risk; splashes into 18 distinct archetypes with 1.85 average copies per deck, proving efficient slot density and redundancy tolerance. (observed) |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher / Tutor + 0.3 Combo Enabler. Intrinsic ≈ 67, Deck ≈ 72, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40·Intrinsic + 0.60·Deck
Strengths
- Reliable searcher for White Rose Cloister enables deck cycling
- Conditional special summon as Tuner unlocks Synchro synergies
- Extremely high co-deck rate with Rose Dragon core (98.7% with Black Rose Dragon)
- Multiple access routes (summon, add, search) reduce brick risk
- Splashable across 18 archetypes including Synchron and Artifact
Weaknesses
- Special summon conditional on opponent controlling a monster; primarily a going-second tool
- Discard effect is card-neutral with no raw resource gain
- Non-interactive support card with no board disruption capability
- Heavily concentrated in Rose Dragon (49.7%); not a universal staple
- Combo conversion unverified; no board-making capability on its own
Counters / choke points
- Cards that prevent special summons (Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo, Necrovalley)
- Hand disruption that prevents discard effects
- Anti-Tuner effects that restrict Synchro material utility
- General removal or effect negation
Best use
Searcher and Tuner combo enabler. Decks: Rose Dragon, Synchron. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: special summon conditional on opponent controlling monster only; Effect: when special summoned this way, treated as a Tuner; Searcher: discard to add White Rose Cloister from deck; 155 decks running the card, concentrated in Rose Dragon (49.7%); 98.7% co-deck rate with Black Rose Dragon confirms core Rose Dragon role
- Observed: Average 1.85 copies per deck (66 decks at 2x, 33 at 3x); Splashes into 18 distinct archetypes beyond primary Rose Dragon home; 96.1% co-deck rate with White Rose Cloister confirms searcher utility; Appears across TCG, OCG, and MasterDuel formats
- Inferred: Tuner special summon enables Synchro plays in Rose Dragon sequences; Discard-search mechanic provides deck cycling and White Rose Cloister access; GenericUtility of 60 inferred from 18-archetype spread but concentrated primary home; Once-per-turn restriction applies only to special summon, allowing repeated discard usage; Combo conversion through downstream White Rose Cloister interactions in Rose Dragon
- Data gaps: No combos supplied—combo conversion is text-only inference without practice verification No guides supplied—no human context on optimal usage or sequencing No usage statistics (StatisticsCard)—archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only No banlist token—assumed 3 copies (unlimited) Card is not ranked in top cards (is_top_card: false)—suggests it is an archetype tool rather than universal staple
