Axe Raider — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 60 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 62.6 · Deck: 57.8 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body
Why it scores here
Axe Raider is a vanilla Level 4 Normal Monster with no effect, so its power comes only from being a clean Level 4 EARTH Warrior body that converts into Xyz, Synchro and Link material even though it does nothing on its own. Its 1700 ATK earns no points, and the card is not searchable or reliably live in the opening hand. Deck evidence shows it is spread across 14 archetypes as a 1-copy filler, which supports its portability and cheap deckbuilding cost but says nothing about strength, since no combo data exists to show it converting into a board.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Plain Normal body with no searcher or effect; it is present in all 43 sampled decks at about 1.26 copies each, but only as a filler body that is rarely the card a player needs to draw. (observed/inferred) |
| Combo & Conversion | 18 | Card text is a flavor line with no effect, and combos_evidence has 0 recorded boards, so it converts nothing on its own. (verified/inferred) |
| Resource Economy | 30 | No draw, search, banish or refuel, so it is a plain one-for-one body with no card advantage. (verified) |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | No effect, so it provides no negation, removal or hand-trap reach. (verified) |
| Material Utility | 72 | Level 4 WARRIOR EARTH with no effect, so it is a generic material that stays fully usable even when another effect negates it. (verified/inferred) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 60 | Nothing to negate, but it is destroyed by any plain removal or battle and has no redundancy or recovery. (inferred) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 90 | Normal Monster with no garnet or restriction, unlimited copies and near-zero slot cost. (verified) |
Calculation
Weight profile: Primary role Material body / Normal, no secondary blend. Intrinsic ≈ 62.6, Deck ≈ 57.8, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Clean Level 4 EARTH WARRIOR body that works as material in Xyz, Synchro and Link summons even when negated
- No garnet, no restriction, unlimited copies, cheap to run
- Portable: appears across 14 archetypes in the sample
Weaknesses
- No effect, so it cannot build a board, draw, search or interact
- Its 1700 ATK earns no points; it is a filler body rather than a power card
- Not searchable, so it is rarely live in the opening hand when needed
- Sample-wide inclusion reflects a generic slot, not intrinsic strength
Counters / choke points
- No effect to negate, so negates and hand traps do not stop it; plain removal and battle destroy it
Best use
Level 4 material body / filler in Level-based summon lines. Decks: Exodia, Goblin Biker, Magikey, Black Luster Soldier, Red-Eyes. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Normal Monster, Level 4, EARTH, WARRIOR, 1700 ATK, no effect text beyond flavor; Present in 43 of 43 sampled decks, avg 1.26 copies; Spans 14 distinct archetypes
- Observed: 0 combo appearances, so no measured board conversion; Partners are generic staples and Exodia pieces, not a single engine
- Inferred: Acts as a generic Level 4 material body; Dies to plain removal and battle with no recovery route
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion is inferred from the deck sample only no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no rulings or top-card ranking for this card
