Cyber-Tech Alligator — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 50 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 52 · Deck: 49 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body / Normal
Why it scores here
Cyber-Tech Alligator is a vanilla Normal Monster: its description is flavor text only, with no effect clauses, so it converts into nothing beyond its own body. Its 2500 ATK earns no points; the score comes from being a clean, one-copy, splashable Level 5 WIND Machine that can serve as generic material in 15 sampled decks across 9 archetypes. The absence of combo evidence and of any effect keeps the card's combo, interaction and resource axes near zero.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 40 | Reachable only through generic draw and search, since it has no searcher or self-search text, but it is present in all 15 sampled decks at one copy each (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 12 | No recorded combo boards (appearances 0) and no effect text, so it builds nothing from a starter on its own (verified: no effect clause; observed: 0 appearances). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | A one-for-one body with no draw, search, banish or recursion text, so it is roughly card-neutral when played (verified: no effect clause). |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | No negation, removal or hand-trap text, so it offers no opponent interaction (verified: no effect clause). |
| Material Utility | 50 | Level 5 WIND Machine fits common Xyz and Synchro material requirements and stays usable as material even though it has no effect; no recorded material use exists in the combo data (inferred from stats; material role 0). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | With no effect there is nothing to negate, so it resists the usual interaction, but it remains exposed to destruction and bounce; it is not multi-zone or multi-turn (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Single copy in every sampled deck, no garnet or restriction, and it fits many homes, so it is cheap to splash (observed: deck data copies distribution). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Primary role Material body / Normal; no secondary role, so no blend. Intrinsic ≈ 52, Deck ≈ 49, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Clean, one-copy generic body with no garnet or self-restriction
- Level 5 WIND Machine suits common Xyz and Synchro material requirements
- Appears across 9 archetype homes, so it is portable between decks
- Nothing to negate: the body keeps its value under the usual negates
Weaknesses
- No effect text, so it has no starter, searcher, removal or negation role
- 2500 ATK is not scored and gives no advantage on its own
- No recorded combo or material use, so the material value is inferred rather than observed
- Replaceable: any Level 5 Machine or WIND body can fill the same slot
Counters / choke points
- Targeted destruction or bounce, since the card can be removed but not negated
- Opponent extenders or boards that make a vanilla body irrelevant
Best use
Material body / Normal. Decks: Primite, Aroma, Phantasm Spiral. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Normal Monster, Level 5, WIND, Machine, 2500 ATK / 1600 DEF (card stats); Description is flavor text only with no effect clauses (card text); Runs one copy in all 15 sampled decks (deck data copies per deck)
- Observed: 15 sampled decks across 9 archetypes; 80% in gameplay type 7 (deck data); Top partners co-occur at 93.3% (Primite Lordly Lode, Infinite Impermanence) (deck data); Zero recorded combo boards, so no starter, material or payoff role was observed (combo data)
- Inferred: Vanilla status means no negation exposure and no effect-based interaction; Level 5 WIND Machine makes it usable as Xyz or Synchro material even though no recorded material use exists
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo conversion and material use are text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard): archetype inclusion inferred from the deck sample only description is flavor text only; vanilla status is inferred from the absence of effect text
