Star Power!! — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 44 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 42 · Deck: 45 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Utility · Secondary: Board breaker
Why it scores here
Star Power!! is a once-per-turn Quick-Play that adds ATK to a Link monster during one damage calculation, scaled by the Levels and Ranks of the monsters it points to. It converts into a single battle-phase push, with no card advantage, no negation, and no material value, so it earns little on the rubric's core axes. Its score comes mainly from being easy to run: 13 of the sampled decks play it across 8 archetypes at about 2 copies each, and it has no garnet or self-lock cost. The high recorded deck count confirms it is a consistently played utility card, not that it is strong in isolation.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 62 | Thirteen sampled decks run it across 8 archetypes with an average of 2.15 copies, but there is no starter or searched-role data in combos (observed, plus inferred from deck count). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | Text only: the card adds damage in one battle step and does not build a board, and no recorded boards exist to confirm a combo route (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 20 | The text gives no draw, search, recursion, or card advantage, so the card trades one card for a one-off battle pump (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 25 | It has no negation, removal, or hand-trap reach; its only interaction is a situational battle-phase boost (verified). |
| Material Utility | 5 | It is a Spell Card and cannot be used as Link material or to fill a material requirement (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | It is once per turn, needs a Link monster in battle, and dies to any negate or a battle-step response, though it is usable in several battle spots (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | It is a single-copy-type Quick-Play with no garnet or lock, and 2 to 3 copies are typical across 13 decks (verified, observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Utility / no clear role (default); secondary Board breaker not blended because no board or negation effect is in the text. Intrinsic ≈ 42, Deck ≈ 45, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Playable across 8 archetypes with consistent 2 to 3 copy use (observed)
- Clean, low-cost slot with no garnet or lock (verified)
- Strong synergy with generic staples such as Maxx C and Ash Blossom in the sample (observed)
Weaknesses
- Only affects Link monsters in one battle step per turn (verified)
- No card advantage or interaction value (verified)
- Zero recorded combo appearances, so board conversion is unproven (verified)
Counters / choke points
- Negation or any battle-step response in the opponent's hand (inferred)
Best use
Battle-phase Link pump for a consistent extra damage step. Decks: Vaalmonica, Synchron, Bystial/Byssted, Blackwings, Melodious, Aroma, Mekk-Knights, Abyss Actor. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Once-per-turn, Quick-Play, Link-monster battle pump scaled by pointed Levels/Ranks (card text); 13 decks run it, 100% main deck, average 2.15 copies (deck stat); Top partners at 77% co-deck are generic staples, not card-specific synergy (deck stat)
- Observed: Spread across 8 archetypes, 1 to 2 decks each (deck stat); Copy distribution 1:3, 2:5, 3:5 (deck stat)
- Inferred: Primary function is a one-step battle damage boost, not board building (text plus absent combos); Repeated Link battles per turn are the main value, so Link-count decks gain most (text inference)
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion is inferred from the deck sample only no banlist token, so 3 copies assumed legal
