Why it scores here
Different Dimension Dragon is a generic Level 5 LIGHT Dragon whose only effect is protection: it cannot be destroyed by non-targeting Spell/Trap effects or by battle with a monster of 1900 ATK or less. It has no search, no starter role, no recorded combo presence, and no negation, so it converts almost nothing into board or card advantage. Its 1200 ATK and 1500 DEF earn nothing; the score comes from its usefulness as a Level 5 Dragon material body and its clean, single-copy deckbuilding, tempered by a 1-copy presence in 8 sampled decks that is mostly staple-driven rather than proof of strength.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 35 | Live only when drawn, with no searcher or starter route in the evidence and 8 decks running one copy (deck count, inferred from text) (observed/inferred) |
| Combo & Conversion | 15 | Recorded combos show 0 boards, and the card's text builds nothing on its own (verified: no combos; inferred from text) |
| Resource Economy | 5 | No draw, search, refuel, or advantage text; a pure body (verified from card text) |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | Protection only; it does not negate, destroy, or disrupt the opponent's cards (verified from card text) |
| Material Utility | 45 | Generic Level 5 Dragon material; the protection clause does not stop it being used as material, but no combo evidence confirms the role (inferred from text; deck partners are staples, observed) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Two protection clauses survive common Spell/Trap removal and low-ATK battle, but they are narrow and it has no multi-zone or multi-turn value (verified from card text; inferred) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Single copy per deck, no garnet or lock, and splashable at zero cost to the deck plan (observed from copies per deck; inferred) |
Calculation
Weight profile: Material body / Normal primary, no secondary blend. Intrinsic ≈ 48, Deck ≈ 48, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Protection clauses survive non-targeting Spell/Trap removal and low-ATK battle
- Clean to run: one copy per deck, no garnet or lock
- Generic Level 5 Dragon body usable as material in several homes
Weaknesses
- No search, starter, or combo role in the evidence
- No negation, removal, or board impact of its own
- Protection is narrow and does not stop effect-based or high-ATK threats
Counters / choke points
- Monster effects that target or negate it
- Battle with monsters above 1900 ATK
- Effects that destroy it when they target it (not blocked by the clause)
Best use
Material body with a minor protection clause. Decks: Dragon Level 5 material lines, Limit-1 event builds (sampled 3 of 8 decks). Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: cannot be destroyed by non-targeting Spell/Trap effects; Card text: cannot be destroyed by battle with a monster of 1900 ATK or less; Recorded combos: 0 boards, 0 appearances; Copies per deck: 1 in all 8 decks
- Observed: Present in 8 sampled decks across 6 archetypes; Top partners co-occur in 7 of 8 decks, reflecting staple density
- Inferred: Material body role from Level 5 Dragon stats and text; Protection clauses give narrow resilience; Deckbuilding is clean because it is a single copy with no restriction
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard); inclusion % inferred from the 8-deck sample only no rulings supplied for the protection clauses
