The Wicked Avatar — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 52 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 52 · Deck: 52 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss/End-board · Secondary: Floodgate/Control
Why it scores here
The Wicked Avatar converts its one real asset, a post-Normal-Summon lock on Spell and Trap activations for two turns, into a large body whose ATK tracks the strongest face-up monster. Its high-cost summon (tributing 3 monsters) and lack of searchers, recursion or card advantage keep the score in the low 50s. Its 365-deck presence and Wicked God inclusion mainly confirm that it is consistently played, not that it is intrinsically stronger; the ATK/DEF formula earned no points on its own.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 30 | The card is only summonable by tributing 3 monsters and has no searcher in the evidence, though it is run in 365 decks (observed, with no as_starter/as_searched data). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | Combo evidence is absent, so conversion rests on the text: once summoned it becomes a large body and locks Spell/Trap activations (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 25 | Three tributes cost board presence with no recursion, refuel or card advantage in the text (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 70 | The two-turn Spell/Trap activation lock is a strong, hard-to-play-around restriction once the card is out (verified text, inferred impact). |
| Material Utility | 35 | No material-provider or Level-fit role is described in the text, and it is a Level 10 body only (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | The lock lasts only two turns and the body is exposed to monster removal and to being tributed for the summon itself (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | Typically 1 copy (avg 1.26) with no garnet or lock on the rest of the deck, but the 3-tribute requirement makes it clunky to run (observed usage plus verified text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Boss/End-board + 0.3 Floodgate/Control. Intrinsic ≈ 52, Deck ≈ 52, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Self-locking summon restriction (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Two-turn Spell/Trap activation lock once Normal Summoned
- Large body whose ATK/DEF tracks the highest face-up monster
- Consistently played in Wicked God and across many archetypes
Weaknesses
- Requires tributing 3 monsters, so it is hard to put on board
- No searcher, recursion or card advantage in the evidence
- Lock lasts only two turns and the body can be removed
Counters / choke points
- Monster removal on the body after it is summoned
- Opponent's Spell/Trap lock expires after two turns, so timing matters
Best use
Boss/End-board with Spell/Trap lock. Decks: Wicked God. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Normal Summon only by tributing 3 monsters; Opponent cannot activate Spell/Trap for 2 turns after Normal Summon; ATK/DEF = highest face-up monster ATK + 100; Appears in 365 recent decks at avg 1.26 copies
- Observed: Wicked God inclusion 100% in usage statistics, typical 1 copy; Top partners include Lightning Storm and The Wicked Dreadroot
- Inferred: Two-turn S/T lock is the main interaction value; Tribute requirement is the main accessibility cost
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited)
