Bujingi Boar — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 45 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 46.7 · Deck: 44 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Board breaker / Going-second · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Bujingi Boar converts a Graveyard banish into one position change plus DEF 0 on one opposing Attack Position monster. That is a real but narrow effect: it does not destroy or negate, and it needs a Bujin monster already on your field. Its 4 sampled decks are all 1-of Bujin builds with no recorded combos, so the score stays in the low-to-mid 40s. The 1100 ATK / 1900 DEF body earned nothing; the Level 4 Light Beast body is what keeps some material value.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 35 | Only usable from the Graveyard and only with a Bujin monster on the field; it appears in 4 of 4 sampled decks, all Bujin (verified/observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 20 | No combo boards recorded (combo data total 0), so conversion is text-only: it enables attacks into a defender but adds no body of its own (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | Costs itself from the Graveyard for a single effect with no card advantage or search, so it is roughly even at best (verified text, inferred value). |
| Effect & Interaction | 40 | Forces a face-up Attack Position monster into Defense Position with DEF 0; situational soft interaction, not destruction or negation (verified text, inferred strength). |
| Material Utility | 50 | Level 4 LIGHT Beast body is usable as a generic Level 4 material and still converts when the effect is negated (verified stats, inferred use). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | The Graveyard activation survives field wipes, but it depends on a Bujin monster being on the field and only hits one target (verified text, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Single copy in every sampled deck, no garnet or lock, and no self-restriction in the supplied text (verified decks evidence). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Board breaker + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 46.7, Deck ≈ 44, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Clean single-target position change plus DEF 0 that can open attacks into a defensive wall
- Live from the Graveyard, so it is not dead in hand
- Single-copy, no garnet or lock: cheap to run in every sampled Bujin deck
- Level 4 LIGHT Beast body keeps some material value after the effect is used
Weaknesses
- Needs a Bujin monster already on the field
- Does not destroy, negate, or banish the target; the effect is narrow
- No recorded combos, so no observed conversion data
- High ATK/DEF contributes nothing to the score
Counters / choke points
- Monsters already in Defense Position are not affected by the effect
- Opponent can respond to the activation while it is on the chain (the description alone does not show a negate route; standard chain rules apply)
Best use
Graveyard-activated position changer for Bujin attack lines. Decks: Bujin. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: banish from GY (cost), target 1 face-up Attack Position opponent monster, change to Defense Position, DEF becomes 0 this turn if done; Level 4 LIGHT Beast, archetype Bujin, legal in TCG, OCG, MasterDuel and DuelLinks; Appears in 4 of 4 sampled decks, all Bujin, 1 copy each
- Observed: Co-occurs with 15 listed partners in 4 decks, all Bujin support cards (top partners)
- Inferred: Board breaker role: position change plus DEF 0 enables attacks into a defensive wall (text-based); Material body value: Level 4 Light Beast fits generic Level 4 material needs (stat-based)
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard): archetype inclusion inferred from the 4-deck sample only no rulings supplied; the description shows no once-per-turn clause, so none is assumed
