Valkyrie Zweite — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 51 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 52 · Deck: 51 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Removal · Secondary: Material body, Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Valkyrie Zweite reliably converts being Summoned into a single targeted destroy of an opponent's monster, plus a small GY-to-hand Continuous Spell refuel after it battles, which makes it a serviceable removal/utility slot inside Valkyrie decks. It scores mid-range because it is not a combo starter — it appears in 0 of the recorded combos — and its Level 5 body means it needs a Tribute or a Valkyrie special-summon route (e.g. Ride of the Valkyries) before its effect is live. Its 1600 ATK/DEF earns no points here; the value comes entirely from the on-summon removal and its status as a clean 1-of in the archetype.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 48 | Level 5 Fairy that needs a Tribute or a special-summon route, run as a 1-of in 73 decks at an average of 1.1 copies (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 28 | No combo appearances in the sample; on its own it only destroys one opponent monster on Summon and builds no board (verified). |
| Resource Economy | 42 | It trades itself for one opponent's monster and can later recover a Continuous Spell from the GY after damage calculation (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 52 | The on-Summon target-and-destroy is genuine removal but is soft: it targets and its trigger can be negated (verified). |
| Material Utility | 45 | LIGHT Level 5 Fairy body that is usable as material, though as a Main Deck monster it is not a generic combo body (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | The destroy only fires on Summon and the recycle requires surviving battle, so the card is largely a one-shot per turn (verified). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 62 | Runs as a clean 1-of with no self-lock and no garnet cost, but provides no redundancy across copies (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Removal + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 52, Deck ≈ 51, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- On-Summon targeted destroy gives immediate removal without needing to battle.
- Second effect recovers a Continuous Spell from the GY, feeding the Valkyrie spell loop.
- Each effect is once-per-turn, so a re-Summon later in the game re-enables the removal.
- Clean 1-of inclusion with no self-lock and no garnet cost.
Weaknesses
- Level 5 with no inherent special-summon condition; needs a Tribute or an archetype summon route.
- Removal targets and only triggers on Summon, so it is easy to negate on the summon window.
- GY recycle requires this card to actually battle and survive damage calculation.
- No recorded combo presence — it does not advance a combo line on its own.
Counters / choke points
- Negating the Summon or its trigger (e.g. Solemn/Solemn-adjacent or trigger negation).
- Targeting protection and 'cannot be destroyed by card effects' monsters blank the removal.
- Silencing the battle step prevents the Continuous Spell recovery.
Best use
Removal / archetype utility 1-of. Decks: Valkyrie. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Text: 'If this card is Summoned: You can target 1 monster your opponent controls; destroy it.'; Text: 'After damage calculation, if this card battled: You can target 1 Continuous Spell in your GY; add it to your hand.'; Text: each effect is once-per-turn; the card is a Level 5 LIGHT Fairy, 1600/1600.
- Observed: 73 decks run it, 73 in main and 0 in side, average 1.1 copies (66 decks at 1 copy).; Valkyrie archetype share 60.3% (plus 15.1% and 1.4% under other Valkyrie ids); Toy 15.1%.; Co-deck rates: Valkyrie Sechste 98.6%, Valkyrie Dritte 90.4%, Valkyrie Sigrun 90.4%, Ride of the Valkyries 72.6%.; 0 combo appearances; appearances/avg power index are null.
- Inferred: It is used as a 1-of removal/utility slot within Valkyrie, with its summon routes coming from archetype special-summons rather than an inherent condition.; The GY recycle implies the deck plays Continuous Spells (e.g. Valkyrie spell line) to recover.
- 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
