Sinful Spoils Sanctification — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 52 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 49 · Deck: 53 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Recovery/Recursion · Secondary: Extender
Why it scores here
The card's verified value is recursion: for one discard it Special Summons a Diabell monster from the GY or banishment, and a second mode Special Summons a face-up monster from the Spell & Trap Zone, both once per turn. It is present in 383 sampled decks across 42 archetypes, with the four main homes (Diabellstar, Azamina, White Forest, Snake-Eyes) carrying most of the sample, so it is consistently run but not proven powerful on its own. It has no combo, guide or interaction evidence, and as a Trap it contributes no opponent interaction or material value, so the score stays in the mid-range. Frequency in decks was treated as accessibility evidence only, not as a power driver.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 62 | Heavily co-run with Wanted: Seeker of Sinful Spoils (87.5% of decks) and Diabellstar the Black Witch (92.2%), which suggests a search route, but no searcher or starter counts are supplied (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | No recorded combo boards; the text converts a GY or banished Diabell monster into a board body for one discard, which is a fair single-card extension but unproven (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | Discarding one card to Special Summon a monster from the GY is card-neutral in hand-to-board terms and recovers a body, but there is no measured net advantage (inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card text has no negation, removal or hand-trap function (verified). |
| Material Utility | 5 | It is a Trap card and cannot be Xyz, Synchro or Link material, so it provides no material body (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | It works from the GY, banishment and the field, giving two zones, but it is a Continuous Trap exposed to field removal and no interaction data is supplied (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Average 1.1 copies per deck, with 354 of 383 decks running one copy; it is a single trap slot with no garnet or lock restriction (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Recovery/Recursion + 0.3 Extender. Intrinsic ≈ 49, Deck ≈ 53, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Consistently run across 42 archetypes, with four large homes (Diabellstar, Azamina, White Forest, Snake-Eyes)
- Cheap single-copy trap slot with almost no deckbuilding cost
- Recovers a Diabell monster from the GY or banishment for one discard, giving a repeatable recursion line
Weaknesses
- No combo, guide or usage-statistics evidence, so combo conversion rests on text alone
- No opponent interaction and no material value because it is a Trap
- Its best mode is archetype-specific to Diabell monsters, which limits use outside those decks
Counters / choke points
- Generic Spell & Trap removal or Trap negation, which is inferred from its Continuous Trap type rather than from recorded interaction data
Best use
Recovery/Recursion with an Extender line for Diabell and Sinful Spoils support. Decks: Diabellstar, Azamina, White Forest, Snake-Eyes. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Text: once-per-turn GY or banished Diabell monster recovery for one discard, and S&T-zone monster Special Summon; Trap card type, so no material or interaction function; Average 1.1 copies per deck (354 of 383 at one copy)
- Observed: 383 sampled decks, 94.3% in gameplay type 7; Top partners co-occur in 73% to 92% of decks
- Inferred: Seeker of Sinful Spoils likely provides a search route; Recursion counts as partial resource economy with no measured net advantage; Field removal is the main exposure
- Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference No guides supplied No banlist token, so the card is assumed to be unlimited (3 copies) No usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion is inferred from the deck sample only The deck sample appears card-matched (383 of 383 decks run it), so the true inclusion rate across all decks cannot be computed
