Splendid Rose

Splendid Rose — Power Evaluation

Final Score: 58 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium

• Intrinsic: 58.8 · Deck: 54.8 · Meta: provisional
• Primary role: Material body · Secondary: Removal, Utility

Why it scores here

Splendid Rose lands in the mid-50s because its real value is a generic, Extra Deck-cheap Level 6 Synchro body that can be cashed into Rank 6 or Link material, not its 2200 ATK or its effect. Both effects banish a Plant-Type monster from the Graveyard for a merely temporary ATK halving - one on an opponent's monster, one on itself to enable a second attack - so they add almost no disruption or card advantage. The 129 recent decks and 38 distinct archetypes confirm the card is genuinely playable and splashable, but no combo record shows it as a starter, payoff, or combo centerpiece; its high ATK and long effect text earn no points here.

Axis scores

Calculation

Weight profile: 0.7 Material body + 0.3 Removal/Negation (Utility folded into the Removal blend). Intrinsic ≈ 58.8, Deck ≈ 54.8, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Extra Deck splashability (2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck

Strengths

• Fully generic Synchro Summon (1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters) with no archetype lock
• Level 6 WIND Plant body that converts into Rank 6 Xyz and Link material even if its effect is negated
• Extremely compact: 1.15 average copies, 118 of 129 lists run exactly one, so it costs only an Extra Deck slot
• Effect is available every turn once set up (once-per-turn ATK halving plus a second-attack mode)

Weaknesses

• Effects are soft ATK halving only - no destruction, negation, or card advantage
• Both effects require banishing a Plant-Type monster from the Graveyard, so the card is blank in decks without Plant-Type Graveyard fodder
• 2200 ATK on a Level 6 Synchro is not a meaningful clock and dies to any removal
• Halving its own ATK for a second attack can leave it at a very low ATK value during the opponent's turn

Counters / choke points

• Any targeted or non-targeted removal (destroy or banish) deals with the 2200 ATK body
• Effects that prevent targeting or that make opponent's monsters unaffected by monster effects shut off the ATK-halving effect
• Graveyard hate that denies the Plant-Type banish fodder leaves both effects dead

Best use

Evidence & gaps

• Verified: Card text: Synchro Monster, 1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters, Level 6, WIND Plant, 2200 ATK / 2000 DEF; Card text: Once per turn, banish 1 Plant-Type monster from the Graveyard to halve 1 opponent's face-up monster's ATK until the end of the turn; Card text: During the Battle Phase, if it attacked, banish 1 Plant-Type monster from the Graveyard to halve its own ATK and make a second attack; Deck evidence: 129 recent decks run it, 1.15 average copies, 118 of 129 at exactly one copy, 0 copies in the Side Deck; Deck evidence: 38 distinct archetypes, led by Zombies 18.6%, Rose Dragon 16.3% and Fleur 9.3%
• Observed: Top partners measured at Copy Plant 46.5%, Necro Synchron 44.2%, Sorciere de Fleur 42.6%, Beatrice, Lady of the Eternal 42.6%, Black Rose Dragon 41.9%; Guides evidence: appears as an Extra Deck tech card in a Duel Links Aromage guide, where the Extra Deck is capped at 7 cards; Guides evidence: the Fleur guide features it in the 'Skill & Necro Synchron' section; No combo appearances at all (0 of recorded boards), so it is not a recorded starter, searched piece, or payoff
• Inferred: The unrestricted summon condition makes it a broadly splashable Level 6 body for Xyz/Link material in Plant-adjacent decks; Rank 6 access (e.g. Beatrice, Lady of the Eternal) is a plausible reason for its inclusion alongside level-manipulating Tuners such as Copy Plant; Because both effects need Plant-Type Graveyard fodder, the card is effectively blank filler in decks without that resource
• Data gaps: no combos supplied - combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token - assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) - archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only no per-archetype split of whether the card is used for its effect or purely as a generic Level 6 body
