Evil Box — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 54 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 51 · Deck: 57 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor · Secondary: Starter / Combo enabler, Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Evil Box is a Level 6 DARK Fiend whose value comes from a conditional hand Special Summon (only while Toon World is face-up) that adds or Sets a Toon Trap from the Deck, so it converts a live Toon World board into one extra body plus one trap. The quick effect that sends a GY card to the bottom of the Deck is minor graveyard interaction, not negation. The 2300 ATK earns no points; the score comes from the conditional access route, the single search, and the 335-deck footprint, which is almost entirely Toon World-dependent. The combo file reports zero starter, searched, material or payoff tags for the card, which conflicts with the text, so the role-based points are held down.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Hand Special Summon requires Toon World on the field, and Toon World is a 100% partner across the 335 decks, so the route is live but conditional (verified card text; observed partner rate). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | Appears in 10 of 10 recorded boards with average power index 26.9, but zero starter, searched or payoff tags and examples score low on board and disruption (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 50 | The summon plus Toon Trap search is roughly +1 card advantage from a body, and the GY bottom-deck is not a refuel (verified text; inferred magnitude). |
| Effect & Interaction | 25 | Quick GY effect places one card on the bottom of the Deck; no negation or hand-trap reach (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 55 | Level 6 DARK Fiend is a usable material body, and the card still counts as a Toon monster when its effects are negated (verified text; inferred fit). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Two separate once-per-turn effects, one hand-based and one GY-based, give some redundancy, but both depend on Toon World staying on the field (verified text; inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | Runs at 1.07 copies per deck, with no garnet or lock, but its value depends on the Toon World cluster (observed copy stats; inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher/Tutor + 0.3 Starter / Combo enabler. Intrinsic ≈ 51, Deck ≈ 57, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Hand Special Summon plus Toon Trap search from one body
- 100% co-occurrence with Toon World, so the route is reliably live in its homes
- Level 6 DARK Fiend body is a usable material
- Cheap to run at 1 copy per deck with no garnet
Weaknesses
- Conditional on Toon World being face-up
- Zero starter, searched or payoff tags in combo data despite appearing in all 10 boards
- Quick effect is weak interaction
- Its power is largely borrowed from Toon World
Counters / choke points
- Hand-trap or on-summon negation in response to the Special Summon
- Removing Toon World before the summon resolves
Best use
Toon-world searcher and body; a 1-of Toon Trap enabler. Decks: Toon. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Hand Special Summon is conditional on controlling Toon World, and it can then add or Set 1 Toon Trap from the Deck; Once-per-turn limits apply to the summon/search effect and the quick GY bottom-deck effect; Level 6, DARK, Fiend, 2300 ATK / 2000 DEF; counts as a Toon monster while Toon World is on the field; Toon World appears in 100% of the 335 decks
- Observed: Appears in 10 of 10 recorded combos, average power index 26.9, average starter count 1.4; Zero as_starter, as_searched, as_material, as_payoff and end-board tags; Average copies per deck 1.07 (313 at 1, 22 at 2); Spans 46 distinct archetypes, with 40% of decks in Toon
- Inferred: The on-summon search is roughly +1 card advantage from a single body; The quick GY effect is recovery-adjacent but minor
- Data gaps: No guides supplied Banlist token missing; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) Combo role tags are all zero, which conflicts with the card text describing a summon and search Usage statistics cover only 3 archetypes No rulings supplied for the conditional summon and the Toon-monster interaction
