Unibird — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 36 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 38 · Deck: 35 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Recovery/Recursion · Secondary: Extender, Material body
Why it scores here
Unibird's only function is to banish itself plus one other face-up monster to revive a Synchro Monster from the Graveyard whose Level does not exceed their combined original Levels, so it converts existing board presence into a single, conditional revival rather than generating advantage. It is unsearchable with no archetype support, provides no disruption on its own, and trades two monsters for one, making it a narrow recursion/extender piece. Its 100 ATK and Level 2 body earn no credit beyond generic Synchro-material usability, and the single observed deck with zero recorded combos keeps the score low.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 38 | No archetype or listed searcher, and the effect is dead without two face-up monsters plus a Synchro already in the Graveyard, so it is drawn as a one-of at random (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 30 | Text-only: it revives one Synchro from the Graveyard but does nothing on its own, and combo data shows 0 recorded appearances (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 32 | Banishing itself and one other monster to Special Summon a single Synchro is a net minus-one in card advantage (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | The card itself offers no negation, removal, or disruption; any interaction comes only from the Synchro it revives (inferred). |
| Material Utility | 48 | Its Level 2 WIND Winged Beast body is usable as generic Synchro material even when the effect is negated or unused (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 28 | A one-shot ignition effect that banishes itself as cost, with no multi-zone or multi-turn recurrence (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 40 | Runs as a single unsearchable copy in its one observed deck, a low slot cost but with a narrow, conditional payoff (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Recovery/Recursion + 0.3 Extender. Intrinsic ≈ 38, Deck ≈ 35, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Narrow conditional effect (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Revives a Synchro Monster from the Graveyard, allowing reuse or further Synchro climbing.
- No archetype restriction, so it is theoretically splashable in any Synchro deck.
- Level 2 WIND Winged Beast body remains usable as generic material.
Weaknesses
- Unsearchable with no archetype support, drawn only as a random one-of.
- Requires both two face-up monsters and a Synchro already in the Graveyard.
- Trades two monsters for one revived Synchro, a net minus-one in card advantage.
- Provides no disruption or interaction of its own.
- Level cap on the revived Synchro depends on the combined original Levels of the two banished monsters.
Counters / choke points
- Effect negation on activation (e.g. Solemn Strike-style negation).
- Banishing the target Synchro from the Graveyard before activation (Crow-style GY hate).
- Removing Unibird or the required second face-up monster before the effect resolves.
Best use
Conditional Graveyard recursion for Synchro Monsters. Decks: Virtual World, Synchro-focused decks needing Graveyard recursion. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: banish this face-up card and 1 other face-up monster you control to Special Summon 1 Synchro Monster from the Graveyard with Level <= the combined original Levels of the two monsters.; Card identity: Level 2 WIND Winged Beast Effect Monster, 100 ATK / 600 DEF, no archetype.
- Observed: Runs in 1 recent deck, 100% main deck, average 1 copy, exclusively within the Virtual World archetype.; combo data records 0 appearances with no starter/material/payoff signals.
- Inferred: Role is conditional Graveyard recursion / extender for Synchro plays.; The effect is a net minus-one card-advantage trade of two monsters for one revival.; Level 2 body is usable as generic Synchro material even when the effect is negated.
- 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 % inferred from deck sample only only 1 deck in the sample, so deck synergy and resilience estimates are thin
