Supay, Duskwalker — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 60 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 59.4 · Deck: 60.4 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Extender
Why it scores here
Supay, Duskwalker scores on access and body conversion, not on its stats. It is in 96% of the sampled decks and is a Level 5 Spellcaster Earth body that can be summoned from hand for a single discard, then fetch a second Supay from hand or Deck. Its real limits are the Extra Deck summon lock that turn, the once-per-turn restriction, and the lack of any combo-board evidence to confirm how far the line converts. Its 2200 ATK earns nothing here.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 78 | Hand-summonable on a single discard and 96% deck inclusion confirm the card is reliably live, though the discard cost and the Supay name dependency keep it below the top anchor (verified/observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 60 | The effect puts two bodies on the field (itself plus a Supay), but there are no recorded boards, so conversion beyond that is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 50 | One discard is paid to gain two bodies from hand or Deck, so card count is roughly neutral with a small body gain (verified text, inferred balance). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card has no negation, removal, or hand-trap effect of its own (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 55 | A Level 5 Spellcaster Earth body fits Synchro and Xyz lines and remains a material after its effect is negated, but no material role data was supplied (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Summoning from hand gives multiple entry points, but the effect is once per turn and a single negation ends the effect while leaving the body (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | It runs about 3 copies on average and needs Supay in the same deck, a mild dependency with no garnet or lock beyond the Extra Deck restriction (observed/inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter + 0.3 Extender. Intrinsic ≈ 59.4, Deck ≈ 60.4, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Extra Deck summon restriction (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Summonable from hand for one discard, so access is reliable
- Fetches a second Supay from hand or Deck, giving two bodies
- Level 5 Spellcaster Earth body is a usable Synchro/Xyz material even when its effect is negated
- Appears in 96% of the sampled decks across 37 archetypes
Weaknesses
- Once-per-turn effect; one negation ends the effect
- Extra Deck summon restriction on the turn it is used
- Depends on Supay being present in hand or Deck
- No recorded combo boards, so its conversion value is unconfirmed
Counters / choke points
- Single-card negation of the summon effect
- Hand traps that stop the discard-cost summon
Best use
Starter that summons from hand and fetches a second Supay for board presence. Decks: Archfiend, Resonator, Ghoti, Earthbound. Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Effect text: discard 1 card to Special Summon from hand in Defense Position, then Special Summon 1 Supay from hand or Deck; Extra Deck summon restriction and once-per-turn clause; Level 5 Spellcaster EARTH, ATK 2200, DEF 1900; Appears in 400 of 400 sampled decks; 96% partner rate with Supay
- Observed: Average 2.9 copies per deck; 37 distinct archetypes; Core in Archfiend and Resonator decks (35.2% and 30.5%)
- Inferred: Starter role from the hand-summon plus second-body text; no combo role data; Material value for Synchro/Xyz lines from Level and attribute
- 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
