Borrel Regenerator — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 53 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 49 · Deck: 56 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Borrel Regenerator converts a Rokket monster in the graveyard into a field body and draws 1 only when that equipped monster is destroyed, so its value is a conditional revival with a once-per-turn limit per effect rather than repeatable card advantage. It is run in all 400 sampled decks at about one copy each, which confirms it is practical and accessible, but no combo boards were recorded, so its conversion strength is text-based inference. Its popularity and the high inclusion percentages earned no points beyond confirming accessibility; the score reflects the revival-and-equip conversion, the conditional draw, and a low interaction ceiling.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | Needs a Rokket monster in the graveyard as a target, and deck data shows it in 400 of 400 sampled decks, so it is live when the target exists (verified text, observed deck count, inferred live rate). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | Text lets it special summon a graveyard Rokket monster and equip it, but total combos is 0, so the conversion is text-only inference. |
| Resource Economy | 50 | The draw is conditional on the equipped monster being destroyed and the card is banished-on-leave, so it is a near-even exchange with one optional card (verified text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card has no negation, removal, or hand-trap effect in its text, so it provides no opponent interaction (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 10 | The card is a Spell, not a material body; the revived monster is the material, so this axis is low (verified text, inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | It is a face-up Equip Spell that can be removed, and its banish-on-leave clause means it is lost quickly once the equipped monster leaves the field (verified text, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | One copy in 390 of 400 decks with an average of 1.02 copies and no garnet or lock text makes it cheap to run within the Rokket family (observed, verified text). |

Strengths
- Revives a graveyard Rokket monster to the field with no summon cost beyond its own activation
- Draws 1 when the equipped monster is destroyed, adding a conditional recovery
- Present in every sampled deck at about one copy, so it is practical and accessible
Weaknesses
- Requires a Rokket monster in the graveyard as a target, which is archetype-locked
- No opponent interaction in its text
- Banish-on-leave clause means the revived body is lost when the card leaves the field
- Draw is conditional and once per turn per effect, so it is not repeatable card advantage
Counters / choke points
- Opponent effects that destroy or remove the equipped monster (inferred from text; no interaction data supplied)
- Opponent removal of this face-up Equip Spell from the field (inferred from text)

Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Targets 1 Rokket monster in the GY, Special Summons it, and equips it with this card; Banishes the equipped monster when this card leaves the field; Draws 1 card when the equipped monster is destroyed and this card goes to the GY; Each effect is limited to once per turn
- Observed: Run in 400 of 400 sampled decks, average 1.02 copies per deck; Present in 22 distinct archetypes with the largest shares in Dragon Link and Rokket; Co-occurs with Absorouter Dragon, Borrelend Dragon, and Striker Dragon in 400 of 400 decks
- Inferred: Its value depends on the Rokket monster being in the graveyard and on the equipped body surviving to be destroyed for the draw; A deck that runs Rokket bodies can reliably produce a graveyard target
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token, so 3 copies (unlimited) is assumed guide snippet describes Dragon Link support in general and does not describe this card's role not a top card in top-card data, so no ranking signal
