Stack Reviver — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 49 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 49.6 · Deck: 48.5 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Recovery / Recursion · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Stack Reviver's score comes from being a clean Level 2 DARK Cyberse Link material that is in all 52 sampled decks, plus a single once-per-Duel Defense-position revive of another Level 4-or-lower Cyberse from the GY. Its 100 ATK / 600 DEF stats earn nothing. The once-per-Duel limit, the Cyberse-only restriction and the zero combo appearances keep combo conversion and resilience low, and no interaction is printed on the card.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Present in 52 of 52 sampled decks, but only as a Link-material body with no searcher or combo route in the evidence (observed, inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | The text makes one Defense-position Special Summon from the GY, once per Duel, and combo data has zero boards, so there is no measured conversion (verified, inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | The card spends itself as Link material and returns one Level 4-or-lower Cyberse, roughly an even exchange with no repeatable refuel (verified, inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card has no negation, removal or hand-trap effect in its text (verified). |
| Material Utility | 65 | A Level 2 DARK Cyberse that triggers its effect as material and still counts as a material body when the effect is negated (verified, inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | The effect is gated by a once-per-Duel limit and only works when the card is used as Link material, so one negate on the Link Summon ends the line (verified, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | Averages 1.31 copies per deck with 39 of 52 decks running one copy, no garnet or lock text, and 16 distinct archetypes (observed, verified). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Recovery/Recursion + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 49.6, Deck ≈ 48.5, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Level 2 DARK Cyberse body that is a clean Link material and triggers its effect as material
- Single-card GY recursion of a Level 4-or-lower Cyberse, placed in Defense Position
- Low deck cost: one copy in most decks, no garnet or lock text, present across 16 archetypes
Weaknesses
- Effect is limited to once per Duel
- Restricted to Cyberse targets, so it only fits Cyberse-based Link builds
- No combo appearances in the evidence, so its conversion value is text-only inference
- Low resource gain: one monster back for one card spent
Counters / choke points
- Interruption of the Link Summon before its material trigger resolves (inferred from timing; no counter data in evidence)
Best use
Single-copy Link material that recovers one Level 4-or-lower Cyberse from the GY after a Link Summon. Decks: Code Talker, Cyberse, Cynet, Firewall. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Effect text: Link-material trigger, GY target of Level 4 or lower Cyberse, Defense-position Special Summon, once per Duel; Level 2 DARK Cyberse body, ATK 100 / DEF 600; Present in 52 of 52 sampled decks as a main-deck card, average 1.31 copies
- Observed: Top co-partners include Backup Secretary (65.4%) and Cynet Mining (57.7%); Spread across 16 archetypes and four gameplay types
- Inferred: Material value is clean because the body is generic Cyberse Level 2 material; Recursion is a single-card, low-volume refuel that is not a repeatable engine; Link Summon interruption is the main timing risk
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion is inferred from the deck sample only no top-card ranking data
