During damage calculation, if an "Appliancer" monster you control battles an opponent's monster (Quick Effect): You can discard this card; for that battle, that monster you control cannot be destroyed, also you take no battle damage. If an "Appliancer" monster(s) you control would be destroyed by a card effect, you can banish this card from your field or GY instead.
Appliancer Breakerbuncle — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 48 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 45 · Deck: 50 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Utility · Secondary: Hand trap
Why it scores here
Breakerbuncle is a Level 1 Effect Monster with 0 ATK and 0 DEF, and those stats earned no points. Its value is protective: a hand-discard Quick Effect that keeps an Appliancer monster alive through one battle with no battle damage, plus a field/GY banish that replaces an Appliancer's destruction by card effect. It reliably protects the Appliancer shell but does not convert resources or generate board, and its 76-deck presence reflects being a staple inside one archetype rather than standalone power.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Played in 76 of the 76 sampled decks, usually at 3 copies, and live from hand, field and GY, but no searcher route or combo start is evidenced (observed deck counts; searchability inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 20 | Protects a battle or destruction rather than building board, and no combo boards are supplied to confirm otherwise (verified text; combos absent). |
| Resource Economy | 25 | Discarding from hand or banishing itself is a 1-for-1 protection exchange with no card advantage or refuel (verified text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 40 | Protects the player's own Appliancer monsters rather than negating or removing opponent cards, so interaction is soft (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 40 | A Level 1 Machine body is a plausible Synchro fodder piece, but no material usage is evidenced in combos (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 70 | Works from hand, field and GY, covering battle and card-effect destruction across multiple zones and turns (verified text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | A 3-copy slot restricted to Appliancer decks, with no garnet or lock cost, but its archetype lock limits flexibility (observed deck counts; restriction verified from text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Utility + 0.3 Hand trap. Intrinsic ≈ 45, Deck ≈ 50, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Protects Appliancer monsters from battle and card-effect destruction in multiple zones
- Consistently run at 3 copies across the Appliancer shell
- Cheap to run with no garnet or lock cost
Weaknesses
- Archetype-locked: only Appliancer monsters are protected
- No opponent interaction and no card advantage
- No combo evidence supplied, so its conversion value is text-only
Counters / choke points
- Effects that destroy the protected monster without using card effects, or that bypass the protection
- Opponent interaction that stops the Quick Effect before the battle resolves
Best use
Battle and destruction protector for Appliancer monsters. Decks: Appliancer. Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Quick Effect in damage calculation: discard to protect an Appliancer monster from battle destruction and battle damage; Replacement effect: banish from field or GY instead of an Appliancer's destruction by card effect; Archetype is Appliancer; ATK and DEF are 0
- Observed: Present in 76 of 76 sampled decks, 3 copies in 52 decks, average 2.41 copies; Appliancer is the main archetype (25 decks); Kaiju and Codebreaker each appear in 17 decks; Top partners are Appliancer cards with 65–100% co-occurrence
- Inferred: Discard-from-hand protection behaves as a soft hand trap in practice; Level 1 body is usable as Synchro fodder; Score reflects staple status inside one archetype rather than standalone power
- 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
