Final Score: 40 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 38 · Deck: 41 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Utility · Secondary: Board breaker
Why it scores here
Dragon's Rage is a Continuous Trap whose only effect is piercing battle damage for Dragon-Type monsters attacking a Defense Position monster. It converts nothing into card advantage, board, or interaction, and it does not add a body or material. Its score comes from being a single-copy, cheap slot in Dragon-leaning decks (31 of 31 sampled decks run it, mostly at 1 copy), not from its effect. High ATK or Dragon-theme popularity earned no points.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 50 | Sampled decks run it at 1.03 copies on average, but no searcher or combo data is supplied, so it is only reachable as a set trap (observed for deck presence, inferred for access). |
| Combo & Conversion | 20 | Zero recorded combo appearances; the piercing effect is text-only and conditional on a Defense Position target (verified text, inferred conversion) . |
| Resource Economy | 10 | No card draw, search, refuel, or advantage in the text (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | No negation, removal, or disruption; it is purely an offensive damage modifier (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 0 | A Trap card cannot be used as material, so the body value is zero (verified frame and type). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | Continuous Trap that stays on the field, but it can be cleared by generic destruction and has no recovery or redundancy (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Single-copy slot with no garnet or lock, and it is splashable across Dragon homes (observed copies distribution, 30 of 31 decks at 1 copy). |
