Target 1 "Black Luster Soldier" monster you control; send it to the Graveyard, and if you do, Special Summon 1 "Black Luster Soldier" monster from your hand with a different name from that monster, ignoring its Summoning conditions. During your Main Phase, except the turn this card was sent to the Graveyard: You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 1 "Black Luster Soldier" monster in your Graveyard; add it to your hand. You can only activate 1 "Super Soldier Rebirth" per turn.
Super Soldier Rebirth — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 51 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 51 · Deck: 51 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Recovery / Recursion · Secondary: Extender
Why it scores here
Super Soldier Rebirth is a GY-activated recursion trap. Its text gives two live effects: it sends a Black Luster Soldier monster from the field to the Graveyard to Special Summon a different-named BLS monster from hand, and from the Graveyard during Main Phase it returns a BLS monster to hand by banishing itself. Its value is tempo and recovery inside one archetype, not interaction, and it is limited to once per turn. The card's ATK/DEF is 0 and it has no combo appearances in the evidence, so the score rests on text and deck placement rather than observed conversion.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Present in 24 of 24 sampled decks at about 1.2 copies each, with a 100% co-occurrence with core BLS partners, but it needs a BLS monster on the field or in the Graveyard and must reach the GY first (observed for deck placement, inferred for the route). (observed) |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | Text converts one BLS monster on the field into a different-named BLS monster from hand, a two-body tempo swing, but there are zero recorded combo boards to confirm it (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | The Graveyard effect is a banish-cost recovery, roughly card-neutral for the cost paid, with the Summon effect trading one monster for another (inferred from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | It is a trap with no negation, removal, or hand-trap reach, so it provides almost no opponent interaction (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 35 | It is a Trap, not a monster, and does not act as material; the BLS monsters it returns are the material-relevant bodies (verified from card type). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | The Graveyard recursion is unaffected by a field-based negate and works across turns, but it is once per turn and the Summon effect needs a live BLS target (verified from text, inferred for resilience). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Runs at 1 copy in most decks with no garnet or lock, but it is archetype-locked to BLS monsters, which narrows where it can be splashed (observed from copies distribution; inferred for splash limits). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Recovery/Recursion + 0.3 Extender. Intrinsic ≈ 51, Deck ≈ 51, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: archetype-locked restriction (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Recovers a BLS monster from the Graveyard for a cost that the card can pay from its own Graveyard position
- Special Summon effect gives a board-tempo swing from hand without a Summon condition
- Consistent placement in the sampled BLS decks at one copy
Weaknesses
- Archetype-locked to BLS; no value outside that shell
- No observed combo boards, so conversion stays inferred
- Trap timing and once-per-turn limits reduce reliability
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the activation or the Summon effect
- Removal or banish of the BLS targets on the field or in the Graveyard
Best use
Graveyard recursion and a hand-to-field tempo Summon in BLS builds. Decks: Black Luster Soldier decks (Beginning Knight / Evening Twilight Knight shells). Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Trap card type and BLS archetype restriction from card text; Two effects: field SS from hand and GY banish-recovery to hand, both once-per-turn scope
- Observed: Present in 24 of 24 sampled decks, avg 1.21 copies; Top partners at 100% co-occurrence with core BLS cards
- Inferred: Recovery and Extender roles from text; Card-neutral resource economy from cost structure
- 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
