Spirit with Eyes of Blue — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 67 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 63 · Deck: 70 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor · Secondary: Combo enabler
Why it scores here
The card's value comes from two on-activation effects: a Link Summon search for Mausoleum of White, and a Tribute that Special Summons a Blue-Eyes monster from hand or GY. It is live in every observed home (400 of 400 decks, 84.8% in the Master Duel gameplay type) and nearly always paired with the Blue-Eyes engine. Its 300 ATK and Link-1 body earn no points by themselves, and it has no direct negation, so the score rests on search and enabler reliability.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 80 | Live in all 400 sampled decks and 9 recorded boards, with 2+ routes (Mausoleum search and Blue-Eyes Special Summon) and a Link-1 entry that needs a Link material (observed for deck count; the Link requirement is verified from text) (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 65 | Appears in 9 of 9 recorded combos with an average power index of 79 and top examples at 100, but the combo data does not label its role, so its contribution to board conversion is inferred from the Blue-Eyes engine (observed/inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 50 | The search is a +1 card, offset by Tributing the card itself to Special Summon, which leaves the exchange close to even (verified from text, inferred for net value). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | No direct negation, removal, or disruption in the card text (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 40 | As a Link-1 with Bottom-Left arrow, its use as material is limited, and no combo data shows it as material (inferred from text; as_material is 0 in the evidence). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | Each effect is once per turn, and the Blue-Eyes summon works from hand or GY, giving two zones and redundancy across turns (verified from text, inferred for resilience). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 85 | Runs as a 1-slot card at about 1.8 copies per deck, with no garnet or self-lock restriction in the evidence (observed for copies, verified for absence of a restriction). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher/Tutor + 0.3 Starter/Combo enabler. Intrinsic ≈ 63, Deck ≈ 70, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Searches Mausoleum of White on Link Summon, a reliable extender path into the Blue-Eyes engine
- Tribute effect Special Summons a Blue-Eyes from hand or GY, using the GY as a second zone
- Near-universal deck inclusion with strong partner density (Ash Blossom 94.2%, Effect Veiler 90%)
- Cheap to run: one slot, no garnet or lock restriction in the evidence
Weaknesses
- No negation, removal, or disruption of its own
- Body value is minimal: 300 ATK and a Link-1 entry, so it cannot be relied on as material
- Each effect is once per turn, which limits repeated use
- Its value is tied to the Blue-Eyes shell, so it adds little outside that engine
Counters / choke points
- Hand traps that answer on-activation effects (inferred from text: the search and Special Summon both activate from the field, so a responding hand trap can stop them)
- Board-based negation of the Special Summon target (inferred from text)
Best use
Searcher/Tutor and Blue-Eyes extender in Link-based Blue-Eyes shells. Decks: Blue-Eyes (Master Duel), Primite, Dominus. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Link-1, LIGHT Dragon-type Link monster; effects: Link Summon search for Mausoleum of White and Tribute to Special Summon a Blue-Eyes (card text); Each effect is once per turn (card text); Live in 400 of 400 sampled decks; 84.8% in Master Duel gameplay type (deck stat)
- Observed: Appears in 9 of 9 recorded combos, average power index 79 (combo stat); Average 1.81 copies per deck, with 3 copies in 20 decks (deck stat); Top partners: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (94.2%), Effect Veiler (90%) (deck stat)
- Inferred: Search route and Blue-Eyes summon both act as a reliable engine enabler (inferred from text and partner density); Material value is limited by Link-1 entry and absent as_material role (inferred); Hand traps that respond to on-activation effects would counter the card (inferred from text)
- Data gaps: no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) combo role labels (as_starter, as_searched, as_material, as_payoff) are all 0, so the role split cannot be confirmed no rulings or Master Duel-specific interaction data Link Summon material requirements and their practicality are not tabled
