Comic Hand — Power Evaluation

- Primary role: Removal · Secondary: Utility
Why it scores here
Comic Hand is a Toon-only steal: it takes control of an opponent's monster, but only while Toon World is on the field, and it is destroyed if Toon World leaves. It is reliably present in the sampled decks (400 of 400, average 2 copies) and is a live pick-up for the Toon engine, so it earns its points from access and a moderate steal. The card is a Spell, so its body does not convert into material, and its Toon-only requirement cuts the score. High deck counts and Toon-archetype inclusion were treated as access, not as proof of raw power.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Present in all 400 sampled decks at about 2 copies average, with strong Toon partners (Toon Table of Contents, Toon Bookmark, Toon Kingdom), but no combo or searcher-route data was supplied (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | Text says it takes control of an opponent's monster and it can attack directly if the opponent has no Toon monsters, but combos_evidence has 0 boards, so the conversion value is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 50 | One card spent for one monster gained, with no refuel or search, so the trade is roughly even at best (inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 55 | The steal removes an opponent's monster and turns it into your attacker, but it is conditional on Toon World being on the field (verified). |
| Material Utility | 15 | The card is a Spell and stays on the field as an equip on the opponent's monster, so its own body does not become material (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | Destroyed if Toon World is not on the field, so one removal or disruption of Toon World ends it; no redundancy data (verified). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 40 | Requires the Toon-only theme and Toon World, which is a self-restriction; the 2-copy average is a moderate slot cost (inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Removal + 0.3 Utility. Intrinsic ≈ 49, Deck ≈ 49.5, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Toon World dependency (self-restriction) (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Steals an opponent's monster, converting their board into your attacker (verified)
- Present in every sampled deck with strong Toon partners (observed)
- Can attack directly when the opponent controls no Toon monsters (verified)
Weaknesses
- Needs Toon World on the field; destroyed when Toon World is not there (verified)
- A Spell with no material body and no refuel (verified)
- Theme-locked to Toon, which limits portability across homes (inferred)
Counters / choke points
- Removing or disrupting Toon World removes the card's value and destroys it (inferred)
- Opponent Toon monsters block the direct-attack clause (verified)
Best use
Removal / steal support within the Toon shell, paired with Toon World. Decks: Toon. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: equips to an opponent's monster only if you control Toon World, takes control, treated as a Toon monster, may attack directly if the opponent has no Toon monsters, destroyed if Toon World is not on the field; Present in all 400 sampled decks (decks_running_main 400), average 2 copies
- Observed: Toon archetype decks: 205 of 400 (51.2%); top partners Toon Table of Contents and Toon Bookmark at 95.8% co-occurrence; Guide snippets place Toon Spell/Trap support as the Toon engine's core support
- Inferred: Primary role is steal-style Removal, with Utility as secondary; Net card advantage is roughly even (one card for one monster); Resilience is low because Toon World removal ends the effect
- Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo conversion and starter/material shares are text-only inference no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard); inclusion is inferred from the 400-deck sample only no Toon World interaction data; the field dependency is inferred from text
