Cyber Tutubon — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 55 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 54 · Deck: 55 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Cyber Tutubon's power is as a Level 5 Warrior body that Special Summons from hand by Tributing a Warrior or Fairy, and when it is Tributed for a Ritual Summon it returns a Ritual Spell from the Graveyard to hand. The score comes from its material value and that Graveyard recovery, which are modest, and from its clean single-copy deck cost. Its 1800 ATK / 1600 DEF earned no points, and the Tribute requirement keeps it from being a freely accessible starter. No combo evidence was supplied, so combo conversion rests on text alone and is kept low.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Needs a Warrior or Fairy in hand or on field to Tribute, so it is not a one-card opener; 29 decks run it, 51.7% alongside Cyber Angel Benten and Ritual Sanctuary, which suggests the partner is usually present (observed/inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 38 | The text only shows a Ritual-linked Ritual Spell recovery after a Ritual Tribute, with no recorded boards to show what it builds (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | Tributing it for a Ritual returns one Ritual Spell from the Graveyard to hand, so the card is spent but a card comes back, a modest refuel (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | No negation, removal, or hand-trap text, so the card offers no opponent interaction (verified). |
| Material Utility | 60 | A Level 5 Warrior that serves as a Ritual or Tribute body, and the body still works as material when its effects are negated (verified text, observed deck use). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | The Ritual recovery is lost if the effect is negated, though the body persists in multiple zones (hand and field) (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | Single-copy use in 22 of 29 decks (avg 1.38 copies), no garnet or lock restriction, and a broad Warrior/Fairy tribute requirement (observed/verified). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Material body + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 54, Deck ≈ 55, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Clean Level 5 Warrior material body that still converts to Ritual value when its effect is negated
- Recovers a Ritual Spell from the Graveyard when Tributed for a Ritual Summon
- Broad deck presence across 16 archetypes with a single-copy typical run
Weaknesses
- Needs a Warrior or Fairy to Tribute, so it is not a one-card opener
- Effect interaction is absent
- Recovery depends on Ritual Summoning, which limits its value outside Ritual lines
Counters / choke points
- Negating the card's effect removes the Ritual Spell recovery
- Opponent's Graveyard or Ritual Spell hate reduces the value of the recovery
Best use
Ritual material and Ritual Spell recovery body. Decks: Cyber Angel, Impcantation, Ritual-based lists with Ritual Sanctuary and Machine Angel Absolute Ritual. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Special Summon from hand by Tributing 1 Warrior or Fairy from hand or field; On Ritual Tribute, target 1 Ritual Spell in the Graveyard and add it to hand; Level 5 Warrior Effect Monster, 1800 ATK / 1600 DEF; Copies per deck avg 1.38, 22 of 29 decks run one copy
- Observed: Runs in 29 recent decks across 16 archetypes; Appears in 15 of 29 decks alongside Cyber Angel Benten, Ritual Sanctuary, and Machine Angel Absolute Ritual (51.7%)
- Inferred: Ritual Summoning is the main route that makes the Graveyard recovery live; Material value is generic but depends on Ritual lines to matter
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only Warrior/Fairy tribute availability is not quantified in deck data
