This card is treated as a Toon monster while "Toon World" is on the field. During the Main Phase (Quick Effect): You can Tribute 1 monster (if you control "Toon World", you can Tribute 1 monster your opponent controls instead), and if you do, Special Summon 1 monster that mentions "Toon World" from your hand or Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions. You can only use this effect of "Animimicat" once per turn.
Comic Cat — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 51 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 48 · Deck: 53 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Combo enabler
Why it scores here
Comic Cat's text is a tribute-then-Special-Summon effect: it spends one monster to Special Summon a Toon World monster from hand or Deck, ignoring summoning conditions. That converts a body into a different body with no net card advantage, so resource economy stays near even. Its appearance in every recorded combo and in all 329 sampled decks is real but mostly reflects its role as a generic Toon-line staple, not intrinsic strength; the observed boards it sits in average a power index of 26.8 with zero board or disruption sub-scores. Its 1-level body and conditional opponent-tribute clause add only modest material and interaction value, so the score lands mid-range.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 62 | Present in 329 of 329 sampled decks at about 2.1 copies each and in 11 of 11 recorded combos, but it is starter in only 1 combo and never searched (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | Average power index of 26.8 when present, with example boards showing zero board and zero disruption and the summon route only adding a Toon World body (observed; the Toon World conversion itself is verified from text). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | Tribute plus Special Summon is card-neutral, with netCardAdvantage 0 in all three worked examples and no refuel or search text (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 30 | The only interaction is tributing an opponent monster while the player controls Toon World, a conditional soft removal with no negation (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 35 | Level 1 DARK Beast body with no as_material appearances in combos; its material value is inferred from level and type, not observed (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Main Phase quick effect limited to once per turn, and its Toon treatment depends on Toon World being on the field; no redundancy evidence beyond the 3-copy line (verified text, inferred resilience). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Cheap Level 1 body run at about 2 copies in a deck, with no garnet or lock restriction in the text, though the Toon World dependency narrows its homes (verified text, observed copies). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Combo enabler. Intrinsic ≈ 48, Deck ≈ 53, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Summons a Toon World monster from hand or Deck, ignoring summoning conditions, so it converts one body into a new board presence
- Present in every sampled Toon-line deck and every recorded combo, so the line is reliably accessible
- Cheap Level 1 body that is easy to fit at about two copies per deck
Weaknesses
- No net card advantage: the tribute and the summon cancel out, and there is no refuel or search
- Combo boards it appears in average a power index of 26.8 with zero board and disruption contribution
- Opponent-tribute clause only works while the player controls Toon World, and the effect is limited to once per turn
Counters / choke points
- Generic hand traps and once-per-turn-aware negation cannot be scored from this evidence, so specific counters are not listed (gap)
Best use
Extender / tribute-to-Toon-World summon enabler in the Toon line. Decks: Toon, Toon World shells. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: Tribute 1 monster, then Special Summon a Toon World monster from hand or Deck ignoring summoning conditions; once per turn; Card text: opponent-monster tribute requires control of Toon World; Card text: treated as a Toon monster while Toon World is on the field; Formats are TCG and OCG
- Observed: 329 of 329 sampled decks run it, average 2.14 copies, with 40.1 percent of decks in the Toon archetype; Appears in 11 of 11 recorded combos, starter in 1 (9.1 percent), in end hand in 1, never as material or payoff; Average power index 26.8 when present, average starter count 1.36; Usage statistics: 100 percent Cyber Angel inclusion at 3 copies, 50 percent Toon (gameplay 6) at 2 copies, 46.7 percent Toon (gameplay 7) at 1 copy
- Inferred: Generic deck-wide inclusion reflects a Toon-line staple role rather than intrinsic power; Level 1 body is a usable material, though no as_material combo appearances were recorded; Toon World partner co-occurrence at 100 percent suggests the sample is dominated by Toon-line decks
- Data gaps: no guides supplied no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) card text does not state the activation zone (hand or field), so the tribute route cannot be fully checked no as_material or as_searched combo appearances, so material and search value is inferred only combos sample is small (11 boards), so power-index averages are thin
