Final Score: 50 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 50 · Deck: 50 · Meta: provisional

Why it scores here
Field-Commander Rahz is a plain Level 4 Warrior body whose only effect is to place a different Level 4-or-lower Warrior from the Deck on top of the Deck when it is Normal or Special Summoned. That is a card-neutral deck-top setup rather than a hand search or card advantage, so resource_economy and combo_conversion stay mid-to-low. The 1600 ATK and Warrior typing earn nothing by themselves; the score comes from being an easily summoned, clean Level 4 material body that is run in 7 recent decks across 6 archetypes (1–3 copies each), with no garnet or restriction cost.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Summonable Level 4 body that is run in 7 recent decks at an average of 1.86 copies, but no searcher or starter route is evidenced (observed for deck count, inferred for the access route). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | The on-summon effect only sets the next draw to a Warrior of Level 4 or lower and builds no board by itself; no combo boards are recorded (inferred from text, with no observed support). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | Deck-top placement is card-neutral and gives no hand advantage or refuel, so the value is limited to controlling the next draw (inferred from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The effect has no negation, removal, or hand-trap reach (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 55 | A Level 4 Earth Warrior with no tuner clause, so it is a generic Level 4 material that stays usable even if its effect is negated (verified from text and stats; the material routes themselves are inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | One body whose effect can be negated in a single response, though the body still works as material afterwards (inferred from text); the card appears in 6 archetypes (observed). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Single-copy-friendly, with no garnet or locking restriction, and one copy is enough when the target pool is present (observed in copy split 1 vs 3; the restriction read is inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Utility + 0.3 Searcher/Tutor (Searcher used as secondary: the effect sets the next draw, though it does not add to hand). Intrinsic ≈ 50, Deck ≈ 50, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
