Beast Fangs — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 43 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 41 · Deck: 45 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Utility
Why it scores here
Beast Fangs is a plain Equip Spell that gives +300 ATK/DEF to a Beast-Type monster, a modest, conditional boost with no card advantage, no interaction, and no material or searcher role in the text. It earns its score from being easy to run (1 to 3 copies, no garnet or lock) and from being played across 15 recent decks in 11 archetypes, which confirms it is accessible but not that it is strong. The high-stat effect of the boost does not earn points on its own, and with no combo data the conversion score rests on text alone.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Appears in 15 of the sampled decks across 11 archetypes at about 2.2 copies, but it is only live when a Beast-Type is already on the field (observed, inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 30 | Card text only gives a +300 ATK/DEF equip with no extra body or board; no recorded combo boards exist to confirm a conversion route (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | No draw, search, or recursion in the text, so it is roughly a one-for-one spell with no card advantage (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | No negation, removal, or hand-trap effect in the text; it is purely a stat boost (verified). |
| Material Utility | 10 | A Spell card cannot be Xyz, Link, or Synchro material, so it provides no material value (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 25 | Equipped on the field, it is removed when its target is destroyed or the equip is sent to the GY, so it is fragile to ordinary removal (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Runs at 1 to 3 copies with no garnet, lock, or self-restriction, so it is cheap and clean to play (observed, verified). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Utility default (no clear role), no blend. Intrinsic ≈ 41, Deck ≈ 45, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Cheap, clean slot that is easy to run at 1 to 3 copies
- Broad deck presence across 11 archetypes confirms it is practical in many homes
- Pairs with frequently played staples (Book of Secret Arts, Dark Hole, Fissure) in observed decks
Weaknesses
- Only works on Beast-Type monsters, which restricts its use to Beast-based builds
- No search, draw, negation, or material value in the text
- Fragile on the field: lost to ordinary removal or destruction of the equipped monster
Counters / choke points
- Ordinary destruction or removal of the equipped Beast-Type monster (inferred from text)
- No specific counter cards are named in the evidence

Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Equip Spell granting +300 ATK and DEF to a Beast-Type monster (card text); Cannot be used as material (Spell card); No card advantage, search, or interaction in text
- Observed: Present in 15 of 15 sampled decks across 11 archetypes; Average 2.2 copies per deck, mode 3 copies
- Inferred: Equipped monster removal makes the card fragile; Usefulness depends on the Beast-Type density of each deck
- Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference No guides supplied No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) No usage statistics (StatisticsCard) for inclusion % across archetypes No searcher or recursion data for accessibility
