Why it scores here
Bicular is a Level 2 EARTH Machine with 200 ATK and 200 DEF. Its only effect is a graveyard trigger: when it is destroyed by battle, you may Special Summon 1 'Unicycular' from hand or Deck, so it converts a battle loss into one extra body. Its 200/200 stats earn nothing, and the battle-destruction gate keeps accessibility and combo conversion low. Its cheap, single-copy slot and its use across three archetypes keep the score in the mid-range.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 35 | The trigger requires a battle destruction, which is not a reliable setup, and no combos or searchers are recorded; the 3 decks run it at 1 copy each (observed, with the trigger gate inferred from text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | Converts a battle loss into a Special Summon of 'Unicycular' from hand or Deck, giving one extra body with help (verified from text; no combo examples are supplied). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | The effect is a card-neutral swap of a dead body for a summon, with no advantage or refuel (inferred from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | Has no negation, removal, or disruption of any kind (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 45 | Level 2 EARTH Machine body that can serve as Level 2 material; no material role count supplied, so this is inferred from stats and level. |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | The effect works from the Graveyard, so field-side negation does not stop it, but it needs a battle destruction first (verified from text plus inference). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 85 | A common, single-copy 200/200 body with no garnet or lock restriction, cheap to run in any deck (observed from 3 decks at 1 copy each). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Material body (blend). Intrinsic ≈ 48, Deck ≈ 48, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Cheap, single-copy body that is easy to fit into any deck
- Its graveyard trigger converts a battle loss into a second body from hand or Deck
- Spread across 3 archetypes (Nordic, Yosenju, Armed Dragon) with the same 1-copy pattern
Weaknesses
- The trigger requires a battle destruction, so it cannot be set up on purpose
- Zero recorded combo appearances, so its conversion is text-only inference
- Almost no interaction or resource gain
Best use
Extender. Decks: Nordic, Yosenju, Armed Dragon. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 2 EARTH Machine, 200 ATK / 200 DEF, effect monster; Effect: when destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon 1 'Unicycular' from hand or Deck; Formats: TCG, OCG, MasterDuel, DuelLinks
- Observed: 3 decks, 1 copy each, across Nordic, Yosenju, and Armed Dragon (one deck each); 15 top partners each at 100% co-occurrence in a 3-deck sample
- Inferred: Trigger is hard to set up on purpose, so accessibility is low; Material utility is generic from Level 2 and Machine/EARTH attributes, with no material role evidence
- 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); inclusion % not available 3-deck sample only, so partner co-occurrence is weak evidence no rulings or Unicycular card data to confirm the summon details
