Underworld Ritual of Prediction — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 48 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 45 · Deck: 53 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter · Secondary: Extender
Why it scores here
The card is a Ritual spell whose text only converts a Prediction Princess Ritual Monster in hand or GY into a board, using Tributes that must meet its Level, plus a Standby-phase GY banish that Special Summons one non-Ritual Prediction Princess from the Deck. That gives a real but single-archetype conversion engine with one extra body on the recursion side. It is run in 128 of 128 sampled decks at an average of 2.21 copies, which confirms the role is practical, but that frequency does not raise the score. The 0 combo appearances mean conversion is text-only inference, and the ATK/DEF of the summoned monsters earns no points here.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Needs a Prediction Princess Ritual Monster in hand or GY plus Tributes; it is a spell with no search effect, and it is in 128/128 decks (observed, with no combo starter data). |
| Combo & Conversion | 52 | Text describes a Ritual Summon and a conditional Standby-phase Deck summon, but there are zero recorded combo boards to confirm the conversion size (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | One spell converts into one Ritual body, and the GY banish can add one more body from Deck, so there is no card-advantage engine beyond that (inferred from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The text contains no negation, removal, or disruption effect (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 20 | It is a spell, not a material body, and it only consumes Tributes; it cannot itself serve as material (verified from text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | The GY effect requires controlling a Prediction Princess Ritual Monster, so it is blocked when that board is missing or has been removed (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 40 | It is a 1–3 copy spell that is dead without the Prediction Princess Ritual Monsters, which restricts the deck to that archetype (observed deck copies, verified restriction in text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter + 0.3 Extender. Intrinsic ≈ 45, Deck ≈ 53, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: archetype-locked restriction (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck, then -2 modifier (Final = 48.1, shown as 48)
Strengths
- Converts a Prediction Princess Ritual Monster into a board with a clear, fully written Ritual Summon route.
- The Standby-phase GY banish adds a second body from Deck and can be used again after it returns to the GY (verified text, one banish per card).
- Present in all 128 sampled decks, so the play pattern is established rather than speculative (observed).
Weaknesses
- Zero recorded combo boards, so conversion strength is inferred from text rather than observed.
- Requires a Prediction Princess Ritual Monster in hand or GY and Tributes equal to its Level, so it is dead without that archetype piece.
- The GY effect needs a Prediction Princess Ritual Monster on the field, which limits use in hands without one.
Best use
Starter. Decks: Prediction Princess (archetype 580), Prediction Princess (archetype 275). Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Ritual Summon of a Prediction Princess Ritual Monster from hand or GY, with Tributes whose total Level meets or exceeds the monster's Level.; Standby-phase GY banish that Special Summons one non-Ritual Prediction Princess from Deck in face-down Defense Position if you control a Prediction Princess Ritual Monster.; Present in 128 of 128 sampled decks, averaging 2.21 copies.
- Observed: Top partners include Prediction Princess Tarotrei (99.2%) and Prediction Princess Tarotreith (98.4%).; Archetype concentration is high: Prediction Princess archetypes 580 and 275 account for about 62% of decks.
- Inferred: A single card's conversion is one Ritual body plus one Deck body, with no card-advantage engine beyond that.; Its role is a Starter/Extender in the Prediction Princess shell rather than a generic staple.
- 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 is inferred from the deck sample only no information on how often Prediction Princess Ritual Monsters are in hand, so accessibility is estimated
