The Breaking Ruin God — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 63 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 62.2 · Deck: 64.3 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Boss/End-board, Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
The card's value is its uncounterable Special Summon of Obelisk the Tormentor from hand or GY, its protection of that Obelisk for the turn, and a 500-damage-per-monster finisher that banishes the opponent's GY monsters. It earns points for effect interaction and for reliable access through Obelisk, which appears in 344 of 348 decks. It earns nothing for being a Spell with no material or ATK value. The 348-deck sample confirms the role is practical, but it does not raise the score on its own, and the lack of combo data keeps the combo axis text-inferred.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | Access depends on Obelisk being in hand or GY, and Obelisk is a partner in 98.9% of decks (344/348), so the Quick-Play is usually live (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 65 | The text converts one Quick-Play into a Special Summoned Obelisk plus 500 damage per opposing GY monster, but no combo boards are supplied to confirm the conversion (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | The card is a non-negatable Special Summon from hand that costs no card, and its GY banish gives a real payoff, though the card itself is spent to do so (inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 85 | The card cannot be negated, makes the summoned Obelisk unaffected by opponent effects this turn, and banishes the opposing GY, which is hard to play around (verified). |
| Material Utility | 5 | The card is a Spell and cannot be material; the material value belongs to Obelisk, not to this card (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 70 | It is uncounterable and usable as a Quick-Play, but both effects rely on Obelisk being present or in the GY and on a Tribute of 2 monsters for the damage effect (verified). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | Average 1.76 copies per deck with 182 decks running one copy, so it is a modest slot cost that is not a garnet, though it adds a dependency on Obelisk (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter / Combo enabler + 0.3 Boss/End-board (secondary); Recovery/Recursion noted but not blended. Intrinsic ≈ 62.2, Deck ≈ 64.3, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths

- Damage effect needs 2 tributes and Obelisk already on the field
- Zero material value as a Spell
- No combo boards to confirm the damage conversion
Counters / choke points
- Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (inferred: a hand trap that stops the GY-based Special Summon route)

- Banishing or otherwise removing the Obelisk the card needs (inferred)
Best use
Starter / finisher for Obelisk lines. Decks: Egyptian God (Obelisk) decks.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Cannot be negated: its activation and effects cannot be negated; Special Summons Obelisk the Tormentor from hand or GY and makes it unaffected by opponent effects this turn; With 2+ tributes and Obelisk controlled, banishes itself from GY to banish all opposing GY monsters and deal 500 per monster; Each effect is once per turn; Obelisk is a partner in 344 of 348 decks (98.9%)
- Observed: Present in 348 of 348 sampled decks, 74.1% in gameplay type 7; Copies per deck averages 1.76, with 182 decks at 1 copy, 67 at 2 and 99 at 3; Spans 61 distinct archetypes, with Egyptian God the largest at 27%
- Inferred: Role is a Starter / finisher for Obelisk lines rather than a material body; Uncounterable status matters most against negation-based boards; Obelisk dependency caps accessibility and resilience
- Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference No guides supplied legal copies is empty and no banlist token was supplied, so the copy limit is assumed to be 3 No usage statistics (StatisticsCard) available No rulings supplied for the Obelisk Special Summon interaction
