Final Score: 58 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 58.6 · Deck: 57.2 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Brohunder is a Level 4 LIGHT Thunder that, when Normal Summoned, adds one other Level 4 LIGHT Thunder from the Deck to hand, so it converts one summon into a one-for-one search. Its 900 ATK and 400 DEF earn nothing. The score sits near the middle because the search is only Normal-Summon-triggered and limited to the Level 4 LIGHT Thunder pool, and no recorded combos exist to show it converting into a larger board. Its strength is that it is cheap to run and appears across six archetypes, which supports the accessibility and deck-fit axes.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Level 4 Normal Summon body that is live from hand, but no combo starter or searched observations exist and the 11 decks are a small sample (observed/inferred) |
| Combo & Conversion | 50 | Converts one summon into one searched Level 4 LIGHT Thunder; no recorded boards or power_index data to confirm a larger board (inferred) |
| Resource Economy | 60 | Net one-for-one: the body is spent from hand but the Normal Summon trigger fetches one card back, so no card advantage beyond that (verified) |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | No negation, removal, or hand-trap reach in its text (verified) |
| Material Utility | 50 | Level 4 LIGHT Thunder body fits Thunder-type material requirements and remains a body when its effect is negated (inferred) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 30 | Effect is limited to Normal Summon and is negated by common Normal Summon/activation responses; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring co-occurs in 5 of 11 decks (inferred) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | Normal monster with no garnet or lock; runs at an average of 2.36 copies across 11 decks with no self-restriction beyond the name exclusion (observed) |
Calculation
Weight profile: Primary Searcher/Tutor, no blended secondary; secondary Material body noted but not blended. Intrinsic ≈ 58.6, Deck ≈ 57.2, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- One-for-one search for a Level 4 LIGHT Thunder from the Deck on Normal Summon
- Level 4 body with Thunder race fits common Thunder-type material needs
- Cheap to run with no garnet or lock; spread across six archetypes
Weaknesses
- Normal Summon only, so it does nothing when Special Summoned
- Search is limited to the Level 4 LIGHT Thunder pool and cannot fetch itself
- No combo evidence to show conversion beyond a single search
- No interaction, and a 900 ATK body is easily outclassed
Counters / choke points
- Normal Summon or activation responses such as Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring can negate the search trigger (inferred from co-occurrence in 5 of 11 decks)
Best use
Normal Summon searcher that fetches a Level 4 LIGHT Thunder. Decks: Watt, Batteryman, Thunder Dragon. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Normal Summon trigger adds one Level 4 LIGHT Thunder-type from Deck to hand, excluding itself; Level 4 LIGHT Thunder-type monster with 900 ATK / 400 DEF; 11 decks run it, average 2.36 copies, distinct archetypes 6
- Observed: Pahunder and Mahunder each co-occur in 8 of 11 decks (72.7%); Average 2.36 copies per deck with 6 of 11 decks at 3 copies
- Inferred: The Level 4 LIGHT Thunder search pool is populated by the partner cards named in decks; Normal Summon trigger can be negated by common Normal Summon responses; Body remains usable as Level 4 Thunder material when its effect is negated
- 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), so archetype inclusion % is inferred from the deck sample only no per-card Level 4 LIGHT Thunder pool list, so search breadth is inferred from partners
