Sphere of Chaos — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 37 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 39 · Deck: 35 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body · Secondary: Searcher/Tutor
Why it scores here
Sphere of Chaos is a Level 5 Tribute monster whose only payoff is a conditional Level 3 search on Tribute Summon, plus a DARK body that counts as LIGHT. Its 1600 ATK earns nothing here — the value is the dual Chaos attribute for banish/fusion fodder and the search, both of which require an awkward Tribute and heavy setup. With only 1 deck and 0 recorded combos in the evidence, it converts far too little, far too slowly, to score highly. The high-ATK/low-ATK statistic is explicitly ignored; only routing, conversion, and deck cost move the number.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 28 | Requires a Tribute Summon to trigger its search and is not shown to be searchable, appearing in only 1 deck, so routing to it is slow (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 22 | 0 combos in evidence; on its own it does nothing until Tribute Summoned, after which it only adds a Level 3 monster (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 42 | Trading a Tribute for a Level 3 search is roughly even card economy with no refuel or repeat advantage (inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 12 | Gives no opponent-facing removal or negation, offering only a once-per-turn battle-destruction protection on itself (verified). |
| Material Utility | 40 | Level 5 DARK body treated as LIGHT grants flexible Chaos banish/fusion attributes, but as a Level 5 it is an awkward material needing a Tribute (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | Once-per-turn battle protection and dual LIGHT/DARK typing give minor staying power, but there is no effect protection or multi-zone use (verified). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 40 | Effectively a 1-of tech that must be Tribute Summoned to pay off, adding setup cost and no self-redundancy (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Material body + 0.3 Searcher/Tutor. Intrinsic ≈ 39, Deck ≈ 35, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- DARK body that is also treated as LIGHT, giving flexible attribute value for Chaos banish/fusion plays
- Tribute Summon trigger can add any 1 Level 3 monster from Deck to hand
- Once-per-turn battle destruction protection gives minor defensive utility
Weaknesses
- Level 5 monster that must be Tribute Summoned to unlock its search, making it slow and setup-heavy
- 1600 ATK / 0 DEF is a weak body that dies to any effect removal
- No opponent-facing interaction, removal, or negation
- Backed by only 1 deck and 0 recorded combos in evidence
Counters / choke points
- Effect negation or removal that stops it sitting on the field for its search
- Banish/board wipes that bypass its battle-only protection
- Floodgates or disruption that prevent the Tribute Summon from resolving
Best use
Dual-attribute Chaos body with a conditional Level 3 search. Decks: Black Luster Soldier / Chaos. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: While face-up, its Attribute is also treated as LIGHT; Once per turn it cannot be destroyed by battle; When Tribute Summoned, it can add 1 Level 3 monster from Deck to hand; It is a Level 5 DARK Machine with 1600 ATK / 0 DEF
- Observed: It appears in 1 deck (Black Luster Soldier) at an average of 1 copy, main deck; 0 recorded combo appearances, with no starter/material/payoff roles
- Inferred: The LIGHT/DARK dual attribute makes it useful as Chaos banish/fusion fodder; Tribute Summon plus Level 3 search is roughly even in card economy; Its battle-only protection does not stop effect-based removal
- 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 a single list, so synergy and redundancy signals are extremely thin
