Ansatsu — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 50 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 52 · Deck: 49 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body / Normal
Why it scores here
Ansatsu is a vanilla Level 5 EARTH Warrior Normal Monster with no effect text, so it converts into nothing beyond being a body: it is not searchable, has no combo or card-advantage role, and provides no interaction. Its score comes from being a clean, cheap, one-copy material body that is consistently run in 20 sampled decks across 6 archetypes, mostly in one Exodia-style home (13 of 20 decks). The 1700 ATK and 1200 DEF earn nothing. Breadth of decks is treated as accessibility and portability, not as proof of strength, and the absence of combo evidence caps confidence.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 40 | Plain Normal with no search or draw effect, so it is only reached by drawing it; it is present in 20 decks at an average of 1.25 copies, but there is no starter or searched data (decks, inference). |
| Combo & Conversion | 25 | No combo boards are recorded and the text has no effect, so it builds nothing on its own; any conversion is inferred from its Level 5 fit (inference). |
| Resource Economy | 10 | No draw, search, banish or recursion text, so there is no card advantage; it is a 1-for-0 body (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | No effect text means no negation, removal or hand-trap reach (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 50 | A clean generic Level 5 EARTH Warrior body with no effect to lock it, so it converts as material even when blanked; Tuner and Level fit are inferred because no combo evidence exists (inference). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | With no effect it cannot be negated, but it has no redundancy or recovery and dies to any plain removal; recorded across 6 archetypes, so it is not a one-home card (inference). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 85 | Normal Monster with no garnet, lock or self-restriction, and the average run is 1.25 copies, so it is cheap and splashable (verified from text and deck counts). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Primary role Material body / Normal, no secondary blend. Intrinsic ≈ 52, Deck ≈ 49, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Clean, cheap generic Level 5 EARTH Warrior body that converts as material even when blanked
- Runs in 20 sampled decks across 6 archetypes, so it is not a one-home card
- Needs no garnets or locks; average 1.25 copies per deck
Weaknesses
- No effect text, so no search, draw, negation or removal
- Not searchable: it must be drawn to matter
- No combo or board evidence, so conversion value is unproven
- Inclusion is concentrated in one Exodia-style home (13 of 20 decks)
Counters / choke points
- Any plain card removal or Monster destruction effect
- Bodies that are not needed for the Level or Attribute fit simply become dead draws
Best use
Material body / vanilla Normal monster. Decks: Exodia (format 7, 13 of 20 sampled decks). Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Normal Monster frame with no effect text; text is flavor only; ATK 1700 / DEF 1200, Level 5, EARTH, Warrior; 20 sampled decks; average 1.25 copies, mode 1; 6 distinct archetypes; 13 of 20 decks in gameplay type 7 (Exodia)
- Observed: Co-occurs most often with Exodia pieces and several Dragon-type Fusion/Synchro partners (14 of 20 decks at most)
- Inferred: Acts as a clean material body for Level 5 summons; Playable as a one-copy filler in a generic deck
- Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo conversion and material routes are text-only inference no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard); inclusion % inferred from the 20-deck sample only no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) format 7 name not supplied
