Mist Condor — Power Evaluation

Final Score: 58 ± 5 · Confidence: Medium

• Intrinsic: 58 · Deck: 59 · Meta: provisional

• Primary role: Extender

Why it scores here

Mist Condor đáng tin cậy mở rộng bàn chơi Mist Valley bằng cách đẩy một quái thú thuộc chủ đạo lên tay trong khi tự summon với mức tăng ATK +300 (1400→1700). Cơ chế bounce cho phép chiến lược re-trigger cốt lõi của Mist Valley, chuyển đổi sự chuẩn bị tích lũy thành giá trị gia tăng. Tuy nhiên, nó không gây xao nhãng, cần chuẩn bị trước và thiếu bằng chứng combo khiến trần sức mạnh của nó chưa được xác nhận — nó hoạt động như một công cụ hỗ trợ chủ đạo thay vì một cỗ máy quyền lực độc lập.

Axis scores

| Accessibility | 65 | Requires 1 face-up Mist Valley monster to activate; consistently playable in Mist Valley decks (100% of sample) but dead in opening hand alone (observed). | |

| Combo & Conversion | 58 | Bounce + summon net one new body với 1 modest ATK boost, enabling Mist Valley effect re-triggers, but no combo samples confirm the actual power sequence (inferred). | |

| Resource Economy | 55 | Costs one card to summon one body, với the bounced monster as 1 recycled reusable resource; roughly break-even trade (inferred). | |

| Effect & Interaction | 5 | Zero negation, removal, or opponent interaction; purely offensive board extension (verified). | |

| Material Utility | 68 | Clean Cấp độ 4, WIND, Winged Beast body với no self-lock, usable for Synchro/Xyz/Fusion material (verified). | |

| Resilience & Flexibility | 52 | Once-per-turn clause provides some safety; bounce enables recovery of original monster, but removal of setup target shuts down activation (inferred). | |

| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Archetype-locked to Mist Valley; not splashable elsewhere, but sustainable at 2.33 copies per deck vớiin the theme (observed).
