Stonehenge — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 54 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 53 · Deck: 55 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Stonehenge is a one-copy Equip Spell that returns one 0-ATK monster from the Graveyard to the field in Attack Position and equips it to this card, so its value is a single recursion with a board presence, not a chain of follow-up plays. The card is widely run across 23 archetypes (72 decks, average 1.49 copies, 69% in one gameplay type), which confirms it is a practical, accessible pick, but the score is held down by the 0-ATK gate, the once-per-turn limit, and the self-destruct clause when the equipped monster leaves the field. High popularity in the deck sample did not earn points by itself; no combo data exists to show what it converts into beyond one body.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 50 | Needs a 0-ATK monster already in the Graveyard, so it is conditional on the GY state; the 72-deck spread shows it is routinely live in practice (observed, inferred for the GY condition). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | Text converts one GY body into one field body plus an equip; no combo boards are recorded, so conversion beyond that single body is unproven (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 50 | Spends this card to bring back one body from the Graveyard, a roughly even one-for-one recursion with no draw or search (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 30 | Its only interaction is destroying the equipped monster when this card leaves the field, which is a self-downside rather than opponent interaction (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 40 | The revived monster's material value depends on which 0-ATK body is chosen, and the partner list points to Ojama bodies, but no material stats are tabled (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | Equip Spell that is vulnerable to removal and tied to a once-per-turn limit; the equipped monster is lost if the card leaves the field (verified from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | One Spell slot with no garnet, lock or brick clause, and the sample averages 1.49 copies with no restriction beyond the once-per-turn wording (observed from deck sample and text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Single primary role Recovery/Recursion, no secondary blend. Intrinsic ≈ 53, Deck ≈ 55, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Cheap single-card recursion of a GY body onto the field
- Live across 23 archetypes in the sample, so it is not a niche pick
- Equipped body keeps a field presence after the revival
- Single-copy restriction with no garnet or lock cost
Weaknesses
- Requires a 0-ATK monster in the Graveyard, which narrows when it can be used
- Once per turn, so repeat use across a turn is blocked
- Destroys the equipped monster if this card leaves the field, a self-downside
- Equip Spell is exposed to removal before it resolves value
Counters / choke points
- Negating or destroying the Equip Spell in response to its effect or on the field (inferred from general interaction, not tabled)
- Removing the equipped monster or the Equip Spell to trigger or dodge the destruction clause (inferred)
Best use
Recovery/Recursion: returns a 0-ATK Graveyard body to the field as an equipped threat. Decks: Ojama. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Text: target a 0-ATK monster in your GY, Special Summon it in Attack Position, equip it to this card; Text: destroy the equipped monster when this card leaves the field; Text: once per turn limit; Deck sample: 72 decks, 23 archetypes, average 1.49 copies, 69.4% in gameplay type 7
- Observed: Top partners co-occur in 27 to 30 of 72 decks (Ojama cluster and Called by the Grave); Copies distribution: 50 decks at 1 copy, 9 at 2, 13 at 3
- Inferred: The 0-ATK condition is most often met by Ojama bodies; Revived body's material value depends on which monster is chosen; Counters listed are general interaction, not tabled in evidence
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) so inclusion % is inferred from the deck sample only no ATK table for which bodies satisfy the 0-ATK condition no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited)
