Special Summon 1 "Slifer the Sky Dragon" from your GY, then each player draws until they have 6 cards in their hand. You can banish this card from your GY; place 1 "Monster Reborn" from your Deck or GY on top of your Deck, then, if a Divine-Beast monster is in your GY, draw 1 card.

The Revived Sky God — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 63 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 63.5 · Deck: 63.4 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Recovery / Recursion
Why it scores here
The card's main value is recursion: it Special Summons Slifer the Sky Dragon from the GY, a card that appears in 97% of its decks, and it draws both players to 6, which is symmetric. Its activation and effects cannot be negated, so the revive is hard to stop, and its GY banish puts Monster Reborn on top of the Deck, a repeatable refuel. The score is not driven by its trap-card stats or by the 400-deck count, which confirm accessibility rather than power. With no combo evidence, combo conversion rests on text-only inference, so confidence stays at Medium.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | Slifer is in 97.2% of its decks, so the revive target is usually present, but GY access is not measured and 400 decks at 1.66 copies average confirm it is routinely played (observed; GY access inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 60 | No combo boards were recorded; a Slifer revive plus draw-to-6 is a one-card-to-board conversion only when Slifer is already in the GY (inferred from text). |
| Resource Economy | 70 | Draw-to-6 is symmetric, but the GY banish returns Monster Reborn to the top of the Deck and draws 1 when a Divine-Beast is in the GY, a refuel that repeats once per turn per effect (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 25 | It has no negation, removal or hand-trap reach and its draw benefits the opponent too; its uncounterable text protects it but does not disrupt the opponent (verified). |
| Material Utility | 0 | It is a Trap Card, not a monster, so it has no material role and cannot be a material body (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 88 | Its activation and effects cannot be negated and it has two separately usable effects, one from the GY and one on activation, so it survives the common negate interaction (verified). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 72 | It is a modest slot cost: 217 of 400 decks run one copy and the average is 1.66; the only restriction is dependence on Slifer in the GY, which is mild (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Recovery / Recursion primary, no secondary role blend. Intrinsic ≈ 63.5, Deck ≈ 63.4, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Activation and effects cannot be negated, so the Slifer revive resists the usual interruption
- Revives Slifer from the GY, a large body, with a symmetric draw-to-6
- GY banish refuels Monster Reborn to the top of the Deck
- Cheap to run: average 1.66 copies, one copy in 217 of 400 decks
Weaknesses
- No negation, removal or disruption of the opponent
- Draw-to-6 benefits the opponent equally
- Depends on Slifer being in the GY for its main effect
- No recorded combo boards, so conversion is inferred from text
Counters / choke points
- Generic GY-hate that removes or banishes Slifer before the revive
- Opponent's own draw and hand-size management, since the draw is symmetric
Best use
Recovery / Recursion: revive Slifer from the GY and refuel Monster Reborn. Decks: Egyptian God, Dark Magician, Lightsworn, Diabellstar. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Activation and effects cannot be negated (card text); Special Summon Slifer from GY, then each player draws to 6 (card text); GY banish places Monster Reborn on top of Deck; draw 1 if a Divine-Beast is in GY (card text); Once per turn per effect (card text)
- Observed: Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks; 1.66 copies average, 217 decks at 1 copy; Slifer co-occurs in 97.2% of decks; Monster Reborn in 81%; Spread across 62 archetypes; Egyptian God is 34.2% of decks; StatisticsCard shows Spellbook at 100% inclusion, 2 copies typical (one row only, thin cross-check)
- Inferred: Recovery / Recursion role is from text, since no combo corroboration exists; Ash Blossom appearing as a partner reflects co-play, not interaction with this card; Symmetric draw limits the card's net advantage
- Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo conversion is text-only inference No guides supplied No banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) GY access to Slifer is not measured usage statistics has a single archetype row (Spellbook), a thin cross-check No official rulings supplied
