If you control no monsters, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). This card can be treated as 2 Tributes for the Tribute Summon of a "Timelord" monster. You can Tribute this card; add 1 "Timelord" monster with 0 ATK from your Deck to your hand. You can banish this card from your GY; Special Summon 1 "Timelord" monster with 0 ATK from your Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions. You cannot Special Summon other monsters during the turn you activate this effect.
Time Maiden — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 47 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 49 · Deck: 45 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Searcher/Tutor
Why it scores here
Time Maiden's 1/0 stats earn nothing. Its score rests on three text-verified effects: a hand Special Summon when you control no monsters, a Tribute that searches a 0-ATK Timelord, and a GY banish that Special Summons another 0-ATK Timelord. These convert one card into a body plus a search or a second body, but the card is Timelord-locked and does not build a board on its own. No combo evidence exists, and the 400-deck sample appears pre-filtered to decks that contain the card, so its 100% main-deck rate does not confirm strength (guardrail 3).
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Hand Special Summon depends on controlling no monsters, and the search and recursion routes are text-supported, but no combo starter or searched counts exist to confirm how often it goes live (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | Its effects convert into a 0-ATK Timelord and a searched 0-ATK Timelord, with no evidenced board-building step; combo data is empty (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | Tribute-to-search and GY-banish summon are roughly card-neutral one-for-one exchanges, with no refuel or repeated advantage stated in the text (inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The text grants no negation, removal, or hand-trap effect, so there is essentially no opponent interaction (verified). |
| Material Utility | 40 | It is a Level 1 LIGHT Fairy that counts as 2 Tributes for a Timelord Tribute Summon, but tuner status and material role evidence are absent (verified text, observed zero material appearances). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | It works from hand, field, and GY, but the text gives no protection against negation and the GY effect is restricted by the no-other-SS clause (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | It is a 0-ATK Level 1 with no garnet-style restriction, so extra copies are cheap to run; the observed 2.1 average copies per deck supports this (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Searcher/Tutor. Intrinsic ≈ 49, Deck ≈ 45, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: self-restriction (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Hand-summonable with no card cost when the field is empty (verified text)
- Tribute can be treated as 2 for a Timelord Tribute Summon (verified text)
- Two Timelord-search or summon routes from hand and GY (verified text)
- Low deckbuilding cost, with no garnet or lock restriction (inferred)
Weaknesses
- Zero combo appearances, so board-building value is unproven (observed)
- Requires an empty field for the hand summon (verified text)
- Timelord-locked text; cross-archetype use is not explained by the text (inferred)
- Zero interaction, with no negation or removal (verified text)
- Restriction on other Special Summons during the GY effect's turn (verified text)
Counters / choke points
- No specific counter cards are evidenced; generic hand-trap and GY-targeting interaction are the windows to disrupt the hand summon and GY banish (inferred)
Best use
Extender and Timelord-search support, run as a hand-summoned Tribute body. Decks: Yummy, Solfachord. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Hand Special Summon requires controlling no monsters; Tribute counts as 2 for a Timelord Tribute Summon; Tribute search adds a 0-ATK Timelord from the Deck; GY banish Special Summons a 0-ATK Timelord and bars other Special Summons that turn; Stats are 0 ATK and 0 DEF at Level 1
- Observed: Present in all 400 sampled decks at an average of 2.1 copies; Partner overlap is high with Yummy-named cards (344 co-decks); Usage statistics show 100% inclusion in one Timelord gameplay row with typical 3 copies
- Inferred: Accessibility is conditional on an empty field; Material and tribute value is real but unconfirmed by combo data; Deck fit is plausible in Yummy and Solfachord, but the mechanism is not evidenced
- Data gaps: No combo evidence (0 boards), so combo conversion is text-only inference No guides supplied Deck sample of 400 appears pre-filtered to decks containing the card (all 400 run it), so inclusion rates do not measure strength Card text supplied has no once-per-turn clause; repeat use of the Tribute search is unverified Tuner status is not stated in the evidence, so material value is uncertain Usage statistics cover a single Timelord gameplay row Two separate Timelord archetype ids appear in the deck evidence No banlist token, so 3 copies assumed No rulings supplied
