Why it scores here
Debris Dragon is a Level 4 WIND Dragon Tuner whose value is a free Normal Summon trigger: it Special Summons one monster with 500 or less ATK from your Graveyard in Attack Position and negates that monster's effects. Its 1000 ATK and 2000 DEF earn nothing; the points come from the Normal Summon access, the extra body it puts on the field, and the Tuner body. The Synchro material restriction (only Dragon Synchro Summons, and other materials cannot be Level 4) caps material value, and the absence of combo and guide evidence keeps the score in the middle band.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | Normal Summonable Level 4 body, present in 400 sampled decks across 54 archetypes; no combo starter data to confirm live-in-hand reliability (observed/inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 50 | Converts one card into two bodies (itself plus a revived monster of 500 ATK or less), but there are no recorded combo boards to confirm the line (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | Revives a Graveyard monster at no cost, a net body gain without a hand card, but it is not a search or a draw (verified text, inferred value). |
| Effect & Interaction | 25 | Its only effect is a self-directed negate on the revived monster; it gives no opponent interaction (verified). |
| Material Utility | 45 | Clean Tuner body for Dragon Synchro Summons, but the text bars it from every non-Dragon Synchro and its ATK-based material pool is restricted (verified text, inferred impact). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | A Normal Summon trigger that can be stopped by a negate or a Summon-response, with no backup route and no multi-zone presence in the evidence (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | Unlimited copies by default, no garnet, no lock, and a 2.04 average copy count in the sampled decks, so it is cheap and redundant to run (observed/verified). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 57, Deck ≈ 58, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Normal Summon access to a Graveyard body with no card cost
- Level 4 Tuner that is cheap to run and redundant in copies
- Broad spread across 54 archetypes, led by Synchron at 27.8%
Weaknesses
- Synchro material restriction bars all non-Dragon Synchro Summons
- Revive is limited to monsters with 500 or less ATK
- Effect can be negated before it resolves; no resilience beyond the Normal Summon window
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the Normal Summon trigger
- Monster removal or Summon-response that clears the field before resolution
Best use
Normal Summon extender and Dragon-Synchro Tuner. Decks: Synchron, Red-Eyes, Blue-Eyes, Lightsworn. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Normal Summon trigger: target 1 monster with 500 or less ATK in your GY, Special Summon it in Attack Position, and negate its effects; Cannot be Synchro Material except for a Dragon Synchro Summon; other Synchro materials cannot be Level 4; Level 4, WIND, Dragon, Tuner, 1000 ATK / 2000 DEF
- Observed: 400 sampled decks run it, 2.04 average copies, 54 distinct archetypes; Synchron 27.8%, Red-Eyes 10.5%, Blue-Eyes 9.0% of sampled decks; Top partners include Stardust Dragon (91.8%) and Black Rose Dragon (87.8%)
- Inferred: Reliability of the Normal Summon trigger depends on the revived monster having 500 or less ATK and a legal target in the Graveyard; Accessibility is high because it is a Normal Summonable Level 4 body, not because of a recorded starter role
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion is inferred from the 400-deck sample only the 400 attached decks are the sample that contains the card, so 400/400 does not measure population inclusion no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) legal copies is empty, so per-format legality is unverified
