Why it scores here
Simultaneous Loss is a totally generic Normal Trap whose only text makes each player send the top card of their Deck to the Graveyard - a symmetrical mill of one with no card advantage, no disruption and no follow-up. It is trivially activatable and costs almost nothing to slot in, but it converts that accessibility into essentially zero winning value, and no recorded combo board ever uses it (0 appearances). Its high score components come only from being a cheap, splashable, rules-clean trap; the effect itself earns nothing, and the fact that it has no ATK/DEF or body means stats contribute nothing either.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 40 | Generic Normal Trap that can be activated in any deck with no cost or condition, but no searcher/tutor route is evidenced (verified). |
| Combo & Conversion | 5 | Zero appearances in combos_evidence and no text-driven extension - it builds nothing from any realistic start (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 10 | The symmetric mill produces no card advantage and the spent trap returns nothing (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | It only mills the opponent's top card, providing no removal, negation or hard disruption (verified). |
| Material Utility | 0 | A Trap Card has no body, Level or Attribute, so it can never be used as material (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 15 | It is blank against negation and does nothing across zones or turns, with no recursion (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 35 | One cheap slot with no garnet, lock or restriction, though it is close to a dead draw (inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Utility / no clear role (default profile). Intrinsic ≈ 26, Deck ≈ 23, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Fully generic Normal Trap with no cost, condition or archetype lock, so it fits any build.
- Rules-clean, simple text with no tricky timing or once-per-turn clauses.
- Cheap one-slot splash that is always legally activatable.
Weaknesses
- Effect is a symmetrical mill of one, contributing no card advantage and no meaningful disruption.
- Does nothing on its own - a near-dead draw in almost every matchup.
- No combo evidence: 0 appearances across recorded boards, so it never advances a line.
- Only 1 recent deck uses it, at a single copy, so inclusion is marginal.
Counters / choke points
- Decks that do not care about the Graveyard ignore the effect entirely.
- Any negation of the Trap blanks it, and because the mill is symmetric the opponent is not disadvantaged.
- Faster decks simply out-tempo a card that only mills one card each.
Best use
Low-impact utility mill / filler trap. Decks: Labrynth, trap-heavy control builds. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: 'Each player sends the top card of their Deck to the Graveyard.'; Legal in TCG, OCG, MasterDuel and DuelLinks.; It is a Normal Trap Card with no ATK, DEF, Level, Attribute or archetype.
- Observed: Appears in 1 of the recent deck sample, played in the Main Deck at 1 copy.; Zero appearances across recorded combo boards (0 total combos).; Top partners are Labrynth cards (Ariane, Arianna, Arias, Lovely/Lady Labrynth and Labrynth Archfiend), indicating a trap-heavy home.
- Inferred: With 0 combo appearances, any combo conversion is text-only inference and effectively null.; The symmetrical mill gives no net card advantage in either direction.; Being a Normal Trap makes it eligible for generic trap search/set effects, but no such route is evidenced for this card.
- 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 deck sample only deck sample is extremely thin (1 deck, dated 2023-10-30)
