During the Main Phase: Immediately after this effect resolves, Tribute Summon 1 Divine-Beast monster. When you do, you can Tribute a monster(s) your opponent controls, even though you do not control them, but if you Tribute Summon this way, apply this effect. ● Until the end of the next turn after this card resolves, you can only activate 1 card or effect per turn, not counting the effects of Divine-Beast monsters. You can only activate 1 "Soul Crossing" per turn.

Why it scores here
Soul Crossing is the enabler that lets an Egyptian God deck Tribute Summon a Divine-Beast during the Main Phase, and it can even Tribute the opponent's monsters to clear their board and summon a boss in a single resolution. What it reliably converts into is real but narrow: it must be paired with a Divine-Beast in hand and resolve cleanly, and its own post-resolution lock (only one card or effect activation per turn, excluding Divine-Beast effects) shuts down follow-up, so it never builds a wide disruptive board. The Gods' high ATK and the card's page popularity earn it no points; the score reflects a strong but setup-dependent, self-limiting archetype enabler.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | 400 decks run it in the main deck at 2.18 average copies with strong partner co-rates (The Winged Dragon of Ra 80%, The True Sun God 70.8%), but it is only live when a Divine-Beast is also in hand (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 56 | From a live start it resolves a Tribute Summon of a Divine-Beast, often by Tributing an opponent's monster, but there is no combo evidence and the post-resolution activation lock caps the follow-up (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 52 | Tributing an opponent's monster to summon a boss is a swing in your favor, yet Tributing your own monster is a cost and the card itself neither draws nor searches (inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 40 | It provides only soft removal by Tributing an opponent's monster at resolution, offers no negation, and cannot interact on the opponent's turn because Tribute Summon is your-turn only (verified). |
| Material Utility | 35 | It is a Spell that produces no body of its own; the summoned God is the material, and Egyptian Gods carry their own summon restrictions (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 52 | Being a Quick-Play lets it dodge some timing windows, but the effect is a one-shot summon and the turn-wide activation lock reduces flexibility across turns (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | Within Divine-Beast decks 3 copies are common (182 of 400 decks), but it is near-dead without a God in hand and imposes a turn-wide activation lock (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Combo enabler + 0.3 Board breaker. Intrinsic ≈ 53, Deck ≈ 55, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Self-locking restriction (-3); Archetype-locked ceiling (-1). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Enables a Tribute Summon of a Divine-Beast at Quick-Play speed during the Main Phase.
- Can Tribute an opponent's monster(s), turning the resolution into removal plus a boss summon.
- Core, heavily played enabler in Egyptian God decks (400 decks, 2.18 average copies).
Weaknesses
- Requires a Divine-Beast in hand to be live, otherwise it is a dead card.
- Post-resolution lock restricts the player to 1 card/effect activation per turn (excluding Divine-Beast effects).
- No negation and no opponent-turn interaction; Tribute Summon is your-turn only.
- No combo or guide evidence to confirm the boards it actually produces.
Counters / choke points
- Mask of Restrict (prevents Tributes, blanking the card).
- Solemn Judgment / Solemn Warning negating the activation.
- Hand disruption or removal of the Divine-Beast, leaving it dead.
- Simply not drawing a Divine-Beast to Tribute Summon.
Best use
Combo enabler / boss-summon enabler. Decks: Egyptian God. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Text: Quick-Play Spell that, during the Main Phase, immediately Tribute Summons 1 Divine-Beast monster.; Text: when Tribute Summoning this way the player may Tribute an opponent's monster(s), applying the stated lock.; Text: hard once-per-turn on activating 'Soul Crossing'.; Legal in TCG, OCG and Master Duel.
- Observed: 400 decks run it, all in the main deck, at 2.18 average copies (182 decks at 3 copies).; Top partner co-deck rates: The Winged Dragon of Ra 80%, The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode 77.2%, Egyptian God Slime 72.5%.; 45% of the sampled decks are Egyptian God; 74 distinct archetypes appear in the sample.
- Inferred: It functions as the key enabler that puts an Egyptian God onto the field.; The turn-wide activation lock limits how much follow-up can be built after it resolves.; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring does not stop it, since no card is added or summoned from the deck or GY.
- 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
