Cameraclops — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 46 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 48 · Deck: 45 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Board breaker · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Cameraclops converts a successful attack into destruction of one face-up monster, but only when that monster's DEF is higher than its own 1400 ATK, so most of its targets are excluded by the condition. Its 1400 ATK body is fragile and the effect needs the attack to happen first, so it does little against negation or a well-timed interaction. Points come from a clean, cheap, single-copy slot and a generic Level 4 body that remains usable as material; the high DEF of the card does not earn points. The score is provisional because there is no combo data and only three decks.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 30 | Level 4 body with no searcher or hand-start text in the evidence, and only 3 recent decks (Melodious, D.D.) run it, so it is not reliably live in hand (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | Text converts one attack into one destruction under a DEF condition; no combo boards are recorded, so conversion is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | Destroys one monster with no stated cost and no recursion or refuel, so it is roughly even as a 1-for-0 when the attack connects (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 40 | Destruction is conditional on the target's DEF exceeding 1400 and on this card attacking, which makes it soft, situational interaction (verified). |
| Material Utility | 60 | Level 4 LIGHT Warrior is a generic material body, and its value is unaffected by effect negation since the body remains a Level 4 monster (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 30 | The 1400 ATK body is weak in battle and the effect dies to any negation of the attack or the effect, with no redundancy in the evidence (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | One copy per deck, no garnet or lock text, and no self-restriction in the evidence, so it is cheap to run (verified). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Board breaker + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 48, Deck ≈ 45, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Destroys a monster on attack at no card cost when the DEF condition is met
- Generic Level 4 LIGHT Warrior body with clean material and level fit
- One copy per deck with no garnet or lock restriction
Weaknesses
- Requires the attack to happen before the effect applies
- Only resolves against monsters whose DEF is higher than its own 1400 ATK
- 1400 ATK body is fragile in battle and dies to any negation of its effect
Counters / choke points
- Any effect that negates this card's effect or stops its attack
- Targets with DEF at or below 1400, which the effect cannot touch
Best use
Board breaker (attack-triggered destruction of a monster with DEF above 1400). Decks: Melodious, D.D.. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Destroys a face-up monster it attacks at the start of the Damage Step only if that monster's DEF is higher than this card's ATK; Level 4 LIGHT Warrior with 1400 ATK and 1600 DEF; Appears as one copy in each of 3 recent decks
- Observed: Present in 2 of 3 sampled decks, all Melodious builds, at 66.7%
- Inferred: Battle-dependent destruction is fragile against negation; Generic body is clean material even when its effect is negated; Limited archetype reach (2 archetypes) keeps Generic Utility moderate
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) available no banlist token, so 3 copies assumed no rulings supplied for the DEF comparison timing
