Borrelcode Dragon — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 60 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 59 · Deck: 60 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Boss/End-board
Why it scores here
Borrelcode Dragon is a Link-3 body whose value comes from two once-per-turn effects: a battle-triggered board wipe (destroy all monsters, symmetrical) after a 3-monster Link Summon, and a GY effect that banishes itself plus a 3000+ ATK DARK monster to Special Summon a Topologic from the Extra Deck or GY. Its 2500 ATK earns nothing on its own; the score rests on the GY-to-Topologic conversion and on its protection from card effects while a Link Monster points to it. Deck evidence (400 of 400 decks, one copy each, staple partners such as Called by the Grave and Ash Blossom) confirms it is a consistently played slot, but that frequency is treated as accessibility, not strength (guardrail 3). No recorded combos exist, so the combo and conversion axes rest on text alone and cap the confidence.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Runs in 400 of 400 sampled decks across 85 archetypes, but it is an Extra Deck Link body that needs a 3-monster Link Summon to appear (observed decks; text inference for the route) (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | The Topologic special summon and the battle board wipe are the conversion steps in the text, but there are zero recorded combo boards to confirm a realistic start (verified text; no combo data). |
| Resource Economy | 58 | The GY effect banishes itself and a 3000+ ATK DARK monster to return a Topologic, a roughly even trade that converts a GY body into field presence (verified text, inference on net value). |
| Effect & Interaction | 40 | Its only interaction is the battle-triggered destroy-all, which is symmetrical and conditional, plus self-protection from card effects (verified text, inference on value). |
| Material Utility | 45 | A Link-3 body that can serve as one Link material, but Link monsters are awkward material, and nothing in the evidence shows it converting cleanly when its effects are negated (inference). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 65 | Cannot be destroyed by card effects while a Link Monster points to it, and the GY effect works from the graveyard, giving two zones of play (verified text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | One copy in every sampled deck, no garnets or self-lock stated in the text, and it occupies a single Extra Deck slot (observed decks; verified text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Boss/End-board. Intrinsic ≈ 59, Deck ≈ 60, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Cannot be destroyed by card effects while a Link Monster points to it
- GY effect converts a graveyard body into a Topologic Special Summon
- Battle-triggered destroy-all can reset a board when the Link Summon route is set up
- Consistently run as a single copy across many archetypes in the sample
Weaknesses
- Two once-per-turn effects with a timing window (Damage Step, after a 3-monster Link Summon) make the board wipe fiddly to set up
- The board wipe is symmetrical and hits its own side
- The GY effect's cost needs a DARK monster with 3000+ ATK on the field
- No recorded combo boards to confirm its conversion in practice
Counters / choke points
- Opponent monster removal or negation before the battle step preempts the board wipe (inference)
- Opponent answers to the Link Monster that points to it are needed to lift its effect protection (inference)
Best use
Extender: a Link-3 that converts its GY into a Topologic and resets a board on battle. Decks: Dragon Link, Borrel, Rokket, Topologic. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Link-3 DARK Dragon, Borrel archetype, ATK 2500, link arrows Top/Bottom-Left/Bottom-Right (card data); Cannot be destroyed by card effects while a Link Monster points to it (card text); Battle-triggered destroy-all on a 3-monster Link Summon, once per turn (card text); GY banish plus Topologic Special Summon, once per turn (card text)
- Observed: Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks, one copy each, across 85 archetypes (deck data); Top partners include Called by the Grave (66.2%) and Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (65.8%) (deck data); Borrel archetype inclusion 75% in the StatisticsCard sample (usage statistics)
- Inferred: Extender is the best primary role; Boss/End-board is the secondary role from the board-wipe effect; Board wipe is situational and symmetrical, so it adds limited power; Net value of the GY trade is roughly even
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no guide detail on specific Borrelcode Dragon lines beyond a Dragon Link overview no meta sample supplied: meta power left null
