Why it scores here
Crush Card Virus is a set Trap whose value is conditional removal: it needs a tribute of a DARK monster with 1000 or less ATK, then destroys the 1500+ ATK monsters it can see in the opponent's hand and on their field. Its score comes from that effect_interaction, not from ATK or popularity; the 12014 view count was ignored by design. No combo boards are recorded, so conversion and resource scores are text-only inference and held low, and the deck-frequency signal is treated as unreliable because it conflicts with the usage statistics.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Needs a DARK monster of 1000 or less ATK to tribute while it is set, and no searcher or combo route is evidenced; decks partner it with Dark World pieces (observed, but the 400 of 400 deck count conflicts with the usage data) (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 15 | No recorded combo boards, so it converts into no measured board; the text only removes monsters and adds no bodies (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 20 | Costs a tribute and returns no card advantage; the opponent's deck clause is a choice for them, not card gain for the user (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 62 | Strong against 1500+ ATK monsters in hand and on field, but only when the trap resolves and the tribute is available; a trap can be negated (verified from text, strength inferred). |
| Material Utility | 10 | A set trap has no material or level/attribute value, so it converts to nothing as material (verified from card type). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 30 | A single set trap that dies to any trap negation or tribute-cost disruption, with no redundancy evidenced (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | One copy in most decks (typical copies 1), no garnet, but the DARK tribute requirement restricts which monsters the deck can run (verified text, copies observed in decks). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Removal/Negation + 0.3 Board breaker blend. Intrinsic ≈ 48, Deck ≈ 44, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Self-restriction: DARK tribute (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Hits 1500+ ATK monsters in both the opponent's hand and field from a single set trap
- Costs one tribute and no card advantage, so the deck cost stays low
- Runs in multiple Dark World-style shells (observed)
Weaknesses
- Needs a DARK monster of 1000 or less ATK on the field to activate
- Conditional: does nothing against decks without 1500+ ATK monsters
- No recorded combo or board evidence, so its conversion value is unproven
- Adds no bodies and no card advantage
Counters / choke points
- Any trap negation, since it is a set trap (inferred)
- Opponent decks with no 1500+ ATK monsters or no way to lose them (inferred)
- Lacking a DARK monster of 1000 or less ATK to tribute (verified from text)
Best use
Board breaker / anti-big-monster trap. Decks: Dark World, Danger!, Labrynth. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Tribute cost of a DARK monster with 1000 or less ATK; Destroys 1500+ ATK monsters in the opponent's hand and on their field; Trap card type, so it has no material value; Typical copies in usage statistics is 1
- Observed: Appears in Dark World, Danger!, and Labrynth decks; Top partners are Dark World and Eradicator Epidemic Virus cards
- Inferred: Set trap is negatable and dies to disruption; Removal value depends on the opponent running 1500+ ATK monsters
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token, so 3 copies assumed decks running it in the Main Deck is 400 of 400 decks, which conflicts with the archetype spread and the usage statistics (only Yubel at 100%); deck frequency is not trusted for scoring description contains a no-damage clause that should be checked against the official card text before import no official rulings supplied for the once-per-turn or opponent-deck clauses
