Why it scores here
Card Ejector converts very little into board or card advantage. Its once-per-turn effect banishes one opponent Graveyard card and gives the user nothing back, and the recorded sample has no combo boards to show it doing more. Its score comes from being a generic Level 3 EARTH body that 30 sampled decks run at 1 to 3 copies across five archetype homes, led by Heroic at 63%. Its 400 ATK and 400 DEF earn nothing, and the GY-only, one-target, no-refuel effect keeps the score in the mid-40s.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Run in 30 of 30 sampled decks at an average of 1.87 copies, with Heroic at 63% and Fleur at 23%, but no starter or searched-route data exists to show how often it is drawn live (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 15 | The text only banishes one opponent Graveyard card and builds no board; the combo evidence has zero recorded boards, so this is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 20 | A one-for-zero GY banish with no draw, search, or recursion returns no advantage to the user (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 35 | A once-per-turn GY-only hate effect is situational and answers only recursion or GY-based plays, with no field reach (verified). |
| Material Utility | 40 | A Level 3 EARTH Spellcaster is a usable generic material body, and the effect does not affect its material value (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | The effect is once per turn and needs a live opponent GY target; the text does not state the activation zone, so resilience is uncertain (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 65 | It is a 1 to 3 copy generic body that is cheap to run with no garnets or locks, but its slot is still a non-trivial cost (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Utility + 0.3 Removal. Intrinsic ≈ 46.7, Deck ≈ 47.5, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
