Excavate the top 3 cards of your Deck and Special Summon as many "Flower Cardian" monsters among them as possible, ignoring their Summoning conditions, but their Levels become 2 and they have their effects negated. Banish the remaining cards, face-down, and if you do, lose 1000 LP for each. You can banish this card from your Graveyard and Tribute 1 monster; Special Summon 1 "Flower Cardian" monster from your hand, ignoring its Summoning conditions. You can only activate 1 "Super Koi Koi" per turn.
Super Koi Koi — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 48 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 45.1 · Deck: 49.3 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Extender, Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Super Koi Koi converts a hand or graveyard activation into several Flower Cardian bodies by excavating the top 3 cards and by summoning from hand, so its value is board presence rather than interaction. The card text supports real conversion, and 109 of 109 sampled decks run it at an average of 2.26 copies, which confirms it is a live engine. High ATK on the summoned monsters earns nothing here. The deck-wide use is archetype-locked, so it is worth less in a deck without Flower Cardians, and the 1000 LP per banished card is a real cost that holds back the resource score.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 62 | Run in 109 of 109 decks with 3 copies in 53 of them, and it has a hand route through a GY banish plus a Tribute, but there are no combo starter counts to confirm how often it is drawn (observed + inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | The excavate-3 and multi-Special-Summon text can put several Flower Cardians on board from one card, but the combo evidence contains zero boards, so the conversion is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 50 | Excavating 3 and summoning several bodies nets bodies, but it banishes the rest of the top cards and costs 1000 LP per banished card, so the net advantage is mixed (verified + inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card is a summon engine with no negation, removal, or disruption text in its description (verified). |
| Material Utility | 15 | The card is a Spell and never becomes material; the Flower Cardian monsters it summons are Level 2 and effect-negated, so their material value is a separate question (verified + inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | It has a hand route and a GY route and runs in up to 3 copies, but it is a single Spell that one spell negation stops, and it can only be activated once per turn (verified + inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 40 | It is archetype-locked to Flower Cardian and provides no value outside it, which limits its deck flexibility even though the copy count is cheap (verified + observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter + 0.3 Extender. Intrinsic ≈ 45.1, Deck ≈ 49.3, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: archetype-locked brick risk (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Run in every sampled deck (109 of 109) at an average of 2.26 copies, so it is consistently included
- Excavate plus multi-Special-Summon can put several bodies on board from one card
- Two activation routes (hand and graveyard) make it hard to fully shut off with one card
Weaknesses
- No effect interaction at all
- Costs 1000 LP per banished card, a real cost in every activation
- Archetype-locked, so it is a brick outside Flower Cardian
- One activation per turn and a single Spell that one negation stops
Counters / choke points
- Generic spell negation and hand-trap spell negation (inferred from the card type, no counter data in the evidence)
- Opponent's graveyard or LP pressure when the LP cost matters (inferred)
Best use
Engine Spell that excavates and mass-summons Flower Cardians, and recurs from the graveyard via banish plus Tribute. Decks: Flower Cardian (archetype 655 main shell; gameplay type 7). Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: excavate top 3, Special Summon Flower Cardian monsters with Level 2 and negated effects, banish the rest for 1000 LP each, GY banish plus Tribute hand route, once per turn; Run in 109 of 109 sampled decks, avg 2.26 copies (distribution 1:25, 2:31, 3:53); Usage statistics: 100% inclusion in archetype 323 at 3 typical copies
- Observed: 94.5% co-occurrence with the core Flower Cardian monsters across 103 decks; 84 of 109 decks in archetype 655 (77.1%), 78.9% in gameplay type 7
- Inferred: Hand and GY routes make it hard to remove completely, so resilience is moderate; Its excavate value depends on the deck's remaining card quality, so the net resource score is mixed; Conversion ceiling is inferred from text only, as there are no recorded boards
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token, so 3 copies are assumed (unlimited) no rulings or metagame sample supplied, so meta is null only one guide mention, with a short snippet
