Clone Token — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 38 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 39 · Deck: 38 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Utility · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Clone Token is a 0-ATK Warrior token that exists only as a by-product of the Cloning effect, so its power depends entirely on that route. It converts into a single body with no card advantage, no interaction, and no real material value, since its Level 0 and 0 ATK give it little use as material. Its high deckbuilding score reflects that it takes no deck slot, not that it does much on the board. The one recorded board with a high power index (100) was driven by the rest of the combo, so the high ATK-free stats of the board earned nothing for this card itself.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 35 | Cannot be drawn or searched and is only created by Cloning; no starter role or searched-for role appearances in the combo evidence (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | Appears in 1 of 1 recorded combos, but only as a body, with no starter, payoff or end-board role recorded (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 35 | Creates a body with no card advantage and no refuel; the text has no draw, search or recursion clause (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | Text has only a self-destruction clause on leaving the field to the Graveyard; it has no negation or removal (verified). |
| Material Utility | 20 | Level 0 and 0 ATK, so it is a poor material for most Xyz, Fusion and Link summons; no material role appearances recorded (verified/inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 30 | A 0-ATK token that is destroyed by the ruling on its own text when it reaches the Graveyard; one interaction clears it (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Not a card slot, since it is only a token produced by Cloning, so it costs nothing to run (verified). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Utility default (no clear role); no secondary blend applied. Intrinsic ≈ 39, Deck ≈ 38, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Free to run: it is a token and takes no deck slot
- Works with any Cloning line, so it is not tied to one archetype
Weaknesses
- Zero-ATK, Level 0 body with little material or board value
- Its only effect is self-destruction, with no interaction
- Accessible only through Cloning
Counters / choke points
- Any effect that destroys or removes the token, or a sweep of the field
Best use
Utility body created by Cloning. Decks: Mitsurugi (Ogdoadic) lines using Cloning.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Text: Special Summoned with Cloning; destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, destroy this Token; Level 0, ATK 0, DEF 0, Warrior token; Formats: TCG, OCG, MasterDuel
- Observed: Appears in 1 of 1 recorded combos, as a body only; Present in 1 of 1 sampled decks (Mitsurugi, 3 copies, not a deck card)
- Inferred: Little material value because of Level 0 and 0 ATK; Accessible only through Cloning
- Data gaps: no guides supplied no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion % is inferred from the 1-deck sample only single deck and single combo: decks and combo evidence are thin
