Superheavy Samurai Fist — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 55 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 53 · Deck: 56 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Superheavy Samurai Fist is a Level 2 Tuner whose value is conversion: a Quick Effect Synchro Summon after a Superheavy Samurai battle destruction, plus a once-per-turn revival from the GY that also lowers a Synchro's Level. Its 900 ATK and Tuner body earn nothing on their own. The score is held down by the absence of combo evidence, the lack of any negation or removal, and the archetype lock in the text (Superheavy Samurai only, with a turn-long summoning restriction when the GY revival is used). The deck data (69% of 188 decks in the main Superheavy Samurai archetype, with 80%+ partner co-occurrence) confirms the card is a live, practical piece in its home and is not inflating the score.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Single copy in 179 of 188 decks, but no combo evidence shows it being searched or drawn as a starter, so access rests on the rulebook text and deck co-occurrence (observed, inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 62 | The Quick Effect Synchro Summon from one card is a real board-extending conversion gated on a Battle Phase destruction, but no recorded boards back this up (inferred from text). |
| Resource Economy | 50 | No draw or search; the GY revival is a recursion of one card, and the Synchro Summon consumes board material for one body (verified text, inferred balance). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | The text has no negation, removal, or hand-trap reach, so the interaction score is near the floor (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 65 | A Level 2 EARTH Tuner is a clean Synchro material, and it remains a Tuner if its effects are negated (verified text, inferred conversion). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | The GY revival lets it return after the field is cleared, but each effect is once per turn and gated on Superheavy Samurai conditions (verified text, observed partner frequency). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | One slot in most decks at 1.06 average copies, with no garnet, but the card only functions in an archetype-heavy shell (observed deck data, verified text). |
Calculation

- Runs as a one-slot card in 179 of 188 sampled decks, with high partner co-occurrence (80%+)
Weaknesses
- Battle Phase destruction gate limits when the first effect can be used
- Both effects are once per turn and tied to Superheavy Samurai conditions
- No negation, removal, or hand-trap reach
- No recorded combo boards to confirm its conversion in practice
Counters / choke points
