Twilight Rose Black Knight — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 58 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 56.5 · Deck: 59.2 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Material body, Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
The card's value is a Level 3 DARK Plant Tuner that can Normal or Special Summon itself into a negated body from the GY (Black Rose Dragon or a Level 4 or lower Plant) and shift a Plant's Level by 1. Its Synchro-conditional +1000 ATK is a static buff that does not earn points on its own. It is present in all 400 sampled decks and pairs with the Rose core at very high rates, which confirms it is playable and portable, but not that it is strong, so the score stays in the middle of the band. Combo evidence is absent, so conversion is scored from text alone and kept modest.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 66 | Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks at about 1.36 copies, live from hand as a Normal Summon, but its own route depends on Plant/Rose support (observed and inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 48 | Converts one card into one negated body from the GY or hand, which is a fair board rather than a full one; no combo boards were supplied (inferred from text). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | GY-to-field recursion of its own body gives tempo but no card advantage or repeated refuel clause (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | Its only negation targets the monster it summons itself, and its level change is not interaction, so opponent disruption is minimal (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 70 | A Tuner at Level 3 that keeps its Tuner status when its effects are negated, and whose Level can be shifted by 1 (verified from text, inferred for material routes). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | Each effect is once per turn and the GY summon is a single-use trigger; the 1000 ATK/DEF body is fragile in battle and easy to answer (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Average 1.36 copies with no garnet or lock clause, though the Rose line that uses it is described by one guide as demanding to pilot (observed and inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Extender primary weights; no secondary blend applied. Intrinsic ≈ 56.5, Deck ≈ 59.2, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Demanding line to pilot (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Present in all 400 sampled decks with strong partner co-occurrence (observed)
- Level 3 Tuner that stays a Tuner when its effects are negated (verified)
- Negated GY-to-field body gives a repeatable-by-deck summon route (verified text, observed usage)
Weaknesses
- Its own effects are once per turn each and easy to answer (verified text)
- No own negation or disruption, so interaction contributes little (verified text)
- No combo evidence supplied, so conversion is text-only (data gap)
Counters / choke points
- Board-wide or summon-negation effects that stop the Normal or Special Summon trigger
- Monster removal once it is on the field, since the 1000 ATK/DEF body is fragile (inferred)
Best use
Extender / Tuner body for Rose Plant lines. Decks: Rose Dragon (archetype 831), Rose Dragon (archetype 1033), Azamina, Diabellstar, Synchron. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 3 DARK Plant Tuner, effect monster, with the text as provided; Two once-per-turn effects: GY-to-field negated summon and a Level change of 1 on a Plant; Static +1000 ATK while a Synchro is controlled (not used for scoring)
- Observed: Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks, 1.36 average copies, 32 distinct archetypes; Partner co-occurrence of 97–98% with Rage Rose Witch and Black Rose Dragon; Junk inclusion of 66.7% at 2 typical copies in the usage statistics
- Inferred: Accessible from hand as a Normal Summon, with a GY route via Rose/Plant support; Negated body keeps Tuner status for Synchro material; Fragile 1000/1000 body that is easy to answer
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token, so legal copies are assumed to be 3 (unlimited) legal copies empty for TCG and OCG single guide snippet, so pilot difficulty is weakly evidenced
