Why it scores here
Dwarf Star Dragon Planeter is a Level 4 Normal-Summon-gated searcher: it only triggers in the End Phase of a turn it was Normal Summoned, and then adds one Level 7 LIGHT or DARK monster from the Deck to hand, once per turn. That makes it a clean one-for-one search that leaves a 1700 ATK body on the field, but it spends the turn's Normal Summon and its payoff arrives too late to use that turn. The card has no recorded combo appearances, so the score rests on text, 42 decks across 10 archetypes, and an average of 1.76 copies per deck; the 1700 ATK and 1200 DEF earn nothing by themselves.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Level 4 and Normal-Summonable, and it is in 42 of the sampled decks across 10 archetypes, but it needs a Normal Summon on the same turn it is used (verified text, deck stat; inferred gating). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | No combo boards recorded, so conversion is text-only: one Level 7 search per turn, with no shown path to a full board (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | Searches one Level 7 monster after a Normal Summon, which is a net +1 card over the card's own hand-to-field cost, but only once per turn (verified text; inferred net value). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | The effect is a search with no negation, removal, or disruption, so opponent interaction is effectively absent (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 35 | A Level 4 LIGHT Dragon body that could serve as material, but no material usage is recorded in combos (inferred from attributes; no observed data). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | The search is a single once-per-turn End Phase trigger on a field body, so one negate or removal stops it; decks show multiple archetypes but no redundancy evidence (verified text; inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | A generic Level 4 body run at about 1.76 copies per deck with no garnet or lock restriction, and it is splashable into any deck with Level 7 LIGHT/DARK targets (observed deck stat; inferred splash). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Searcher/Tutor alone; no secondary role blended. Intrinsic ≈ 55, Deck ≈ 53, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Clean one-for-one search of a Level 7 LIGHT or DARK monster from the Deck
- Generic Level 4 body that fits into many archetypes (10 distinct in the sample)
- Low deckbuilding cost: no garnet or lock, flexible copy count
Weaknesses
- Requires a Normal Summon on the same turn, which competes with other Normal-Summon plays
- Search only resolves in the End Phase, so the searched card cannot be used with that turn's tempo
- Weak 1700/1200 body with no interaction or protection
Counters / choke points
- Any negate or removal on the field before the End Phase stops the search (verified text, inferred counter)
Best use
Searcher/Tutor (End Phase Level 7 search). Decks: Branded, Dark Magician. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Text: once per turn End Phase search of one Level 7 LIGHT or DARK monster after a Normal Summon this turn; Level 4 LIGHT Dragon, 1700 ATK / 1200 DEF; Appears in 42 sampled decks across 10 archetypes; 1.76 average copies per deck
- Observed: Branded in 45.2% of sampled decks, Dark Magician in 21.4%; Usage statistics: Odd-Eyes inclusion 66.7% at 2 copies (typical), a small sample
- Inferred: Normal Summon gating and End Phase timing make it slow in practice; Generic Level 4 body is a plausible material, not recorded in combos; Splashable because it is a generic Level 4 with no garnet restriction
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no guide text describing this card's role directly; guide mentions are of Dark Magician decks, not this card
