Zoma the Spirit — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 55 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 56 · Deck: 54 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body · Secondary: Utility
Why it scores here
Zoma the Spirit reliably converts into a Level 4 DARK Zombie Effect body (1800/500) that works as generic material, and its battle-destruction damage adds a small punisher. It is played in 154 decks across 71 archetypes at about 1.75 copies each, which supports its accessibility and low deck cost. High stats on the body did not earn points by themselves; the score stays moderate because there is no combo evidence showing it starts or finishes boards, and it offers no negation, removal or card advantage.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 65 | The card is run in 154 recent decks, mostly as 1-3 copies, but there is no combo or searcher evidence that it is reliably reachable as a starter (observed/inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 25 | No combo boards were recorded, so the conversion into a fuller board rests on the card text alone: a 1800-ATK body plus a damage trigger (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | No draw, search or recursion is stated, and the damage effect is a one-shot payoff rather than advantage (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 20 | The text grants no negation, removal or hand-trap reach; only a damage effect after battle destruction (verified). |
| Material Utility | 60 | Level 4 DARK Zombie is a clean generic material, though the Defense-Position summon restriction makes it awkward to use (verified/inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | The damage only happens if it is destroyed by battle, so common non-battle interaction blanks it; it is a Trap that can also be used as a body (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | Runs at 1-3 copies with no garnet or lock restriction stated in the evidence, so it is cheap to include (observed). |
Calculation
