The Judgement Hand

The Judgement Hand — Power Evaluation

Final Score: 33 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium

• Intrinsic: 36 · Deck: 31 · Meta: provisional
• Primary role: Material body · Secondary: Utility

Why it scores here

The Judgement Hand is a vanilla Level 3 EARTH Warrior with 1400 ATK and a pure flavor-text line, so everything it converts comes from being a generic body with no effect engine behind it. Evidence shows only 3 recent decks running it (avg 1.67 copies main deck) and zero recorded combo appearances, zero as_starter, zero as_material and zero payoff usage, so it is not a practical engine or end-board piece. Its 1400 ATK earns no points here — the score rests only on Level 3/EARTH/Warrior being a clean generic material typing and on it being a drawable, restriction-free body. The final score of 33 reflects a low-impact, effect-less card with no archetype support network and no observed role in real lines.

Axis scores

Calculation

Weight profile: Material body / Normal profile (single primary role). Intrinsic ≈ 36, Deck ≈ 31, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck

Strengths

• Generic Level 3 / EARTH / Warrior typing makes it usable as material for Rank 3 Xyz or Level 3 Synchro plays.
• No archetype, no locks and no restrictions — it can be slotted into any deck that wants an extra Normal body.
• Legal in TCG, OCG, Master Duel and Duel Links with no banlist pressure.
• Zero activation cost or conditional text means it is never a dead draw for combo reasons, only for value reasons.

Weaknesses

• No effect text at all: it cannot search, extend, disrupt, or recover anything.
• No archetype membership means no dedicated searcher or recursion route — it must be drawn.
• Recorded combo evidence is empty (0 appearances, 0 as_material, 0 as_starter), so it has no demonstrated practical role.
• 1400 ATK / 700 DEF is below the bar for meaningful board presence and folds to any removal.
• Competes for the same slot as effect monsters that also provide a Level 3 body.

Counters / choke points

• Any generic monster removal (Book of Moon, Dark Hole, destruction effects) clears the body.
• Hand traps aimed at the deck's real engine stop the plays this card is attached to.
• Larger opposing monsters outclass a 1400 ATK Normal Monster in battle.
• Skill Drain-style floodgates are irrelevant to it, but also do nothing to make it useful.

Best use

Normal Monster material body. Decks: Generic Level 3 / EARTH / Warrior material engines, Normal Monster or Rank 3 toolbox shells. Suggested copies: 0.

Evidence & gaps

• Verified: Card text is pure flavor ('An all-powerful hand that delivers ruthless attacks.') with no effect, cost, or once-per-turn clause.; It is a Normal Monster: Level 3, EARTH, Warrior, 1400 ATK / 700 DEF, no archetype.; It is legal in TCG, OCG, Master Duel and Duel Links with no listed banlist token.
• Observed: 3 recent decks run it, all in the main deck, at an average of 1.67 copies (distribution: 1 copy x2, 3 copies x1).; 2 of the 3 decks are tagged Ally of Justice (66.7%) and 1 has no archetype (33.3%).; combos_evidence shows 0 appearances and 0 counts in as_starter, as_searched, as_material and as_payoff.; Its most frequent co-deck partners are Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon and Bystial monsters at 66.7%.
• Inferred: Because it has no archetype, no archetype-specific searcher or recursion route exists for it.; Its only functional contribution is a Level 3 EARTH Warrior material body for Xyz/Synchro plays.; With no effect text, effect negation does not change it — it is identical blanked or not.
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only deck sample is very small (3 decks), so archetype and partner percentages are noisy
