Tenyinfinity — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 58 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium

- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor · Secondary: Removal, Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Tenyinfinity's value is its activation search of Vessel for the Dragon Cycle or Heavenly Dragon Circle, which is a reliable +1 that finds the archetype's engine pieces. Its once-per-turn Tribute-a-Wyrm destroy and its End Phase recursion into a Flawless Perfection field placement add interaction and repeatable value, but the search is what it converts into. Its high deck count (400 of 400 sampled decks, near-universal Tenyi inclusion) confirms it is a required support card in this ecosystem rather than an intrinsically powerful one, and that presence earns only accessibility and deckbuilding points. No combo boards are recorded, so combo conversion rests on text alone and stays moderate.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 65 | Activates from hand and searches a Tenyi engine piece, and it appears in all 400 sampled decks with 1.12 average copies (observed, plus verified text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | No recorded combo boards, so conversion is inferred from the search and field-placement text only, with no measured starter or payoff role (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 65 | The activation search nets +1 card, and the End Phase recursion can place Flawless Perfection from Deck or GY, with the Wyrm Tribute as a cost (verified text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 55 | A once-per-turn destroy, but it costs a Tribute of a Wyrm and only hits monsters on the field, so it is situational and not a flexible negate (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 5 | A Spell Card, so it cannot be used as material and gives no body value (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | Its effects are once-per-turn and tied to one field zone, while the End Phase recursion gives some multi-turn redundancy (verified text, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | Runs at 1 copy in 364 of 400 decks with no garnet or lock restriction, so it is cheap to include (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher + 0.3 Removal. Intrinsic ≈ 54.6, Deck ≈ 60.5, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Activation search reliably adds an engine piece (Vessel for the Dragon Cycle or Heavenly Dragon Circle)
- Near-universal inclusion in the sampled Tenyi/Swordsoul decks at 1 copy each
- End Phase recursion gives a second use of the card
Weaknesses
- Removal requires tributing a Wyrm and is limited to once per turn
- Adds no material value and cannot be used as a Spell body
- Its value is tied to the Tenyi engine, so it is weak outside that archetype
Counters / choke points
- Spell removal or field-zone disruption, which the text does not address and the evidence does not measure
Best use
Searcher/Tutor with a secondary removal and recursion role. Decks: Tenyi, Swordsoul Tenyi. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Activation search of Vessel for the Dragon Cycle or Heavenly Dragon Circle; Once-per-turn Tribute of a Wyrm to destroy one monster; End Phase send to GY to place Flawless Perfection from Deck or GY; Spell Card, so not usable as material
- Observed: Included in 400 of 400 sampled decks; 1 copy in 364 decks, average 1.12; Top partner co-occurrence of 98.2% with Tenyi Spirit - Mula Adhara; Inclusion 100% in the Tenyi archetype usage statistic
- Inferred: Search route is the main conversion path, since no combo boards are recorded; Interaction is situational because the Tribute cost limits it; Redundancy is moderate given the once-per-turn restrictions
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token, so the card is assumed to be at 3 copies (unlimited) no per-deck starter count, so DeckResilience is partly inferred
