Why it scores here
The card's reliable output is one searched Level 4 or lower Beast-Warrior per activation, plus a +100 ATK buff to Beast-Warriors while it stays on the field. Its 400/400 deck presence at an average of 2.16 copies and its 56-archetype spread confirm it is consistently played, which earns the accessibility and deckbuilding axes, but that inclusion is not treated as strength. The combo sample (6 boards, 64.8 average power index) shows no starter, searched, or material roles, so the high-power boards are not credited to this card. Its effect interaction is near zero and it is a continuous spell on the field, so it scores only mid-range on resilience.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 82 | Searcher on activation, present in 400 of 400 sampled decks with 3 copies in 169 of them (verified; live-in-hand reliability is inferred from copy counts). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | Appears in 6 of 6 sampled boards, but combo role is empty and the top-power boards are Zoodiac/Tri-Brigade lines, so its own conversion is unproven (observed, with causal caution). |
| Resource Economy | 50 | Spell that spends itself to add one card, which is roughly card-neutral; no refuel or repeated advantage in the text (verified text, inferred balance). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | Text has no opponent-facing effect; the ATK buff only affects the controller's own monsters (verified). |
| Material Utility | 10 | A Spell is never material, and the buff does not convert a body; no material evidence in the sample (verified, 0 material role). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Continuous spell that sits on the field, so it is exposed to backrow removal, and its search resolves only on activation; copy redundancy is 2-3 per deck (inferred from text and copy distribution). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | Cheap, non-restrictive spell played at 1 to 3 copies across 56 archetypes with no garnet or self-lock in the text (verified text, observed copy spread). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher/Tutor + 0.3 Utility. Intrinsic ≈ 57.5, Deck ≈ 62.5, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Reliable searcher for a Level 4 or lower Beast-Warrior on activation (verified text)
- Played in 400 of 400 sampled decks at 2-3 copies across 56 archetypes (observed)
- Low deck-building cost: a cheap, non-restrictive spell with no garnet or self-lock (verified text)
Weaknesses
- No opponent interaction; the ATK buff only helps the controller's own Beast-Warriors (verified text)
- Zero starter, searched, or material roles recorded in the combo sample (observed)
- Continuous spell on the field is exposed to backrow removal (inferred)
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the search activation before it resolves (inferred from text)
- Backrow removal for the continuous ATK buff (inferred from text)

Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: on activation, add 1 Level 4 or lower Beast-Warrior from Deck to hand; Beast-Warriors you control gain 100 ATK; once per turn; Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks; copies distribution 1:106, 2:125, 3:169; 56 distinct archetypes across 4 gameplay types; Combo role counts (starter, searched, material, payoff) are all 0
- Observed: Appears in 6 of 6 sampled combos, average power index 64.8 and average starter count 1.17; Usage statistics show 100% inclusion in 10 archetype/gameplay slots, with 48.6% to 80% in others; Top partner Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring co-occurs in 88.2% of decks
- Inferred: Searcher reliably puts a body in hand given 2-3 copies; Continuous spell is exposed to backrow removal; Buff value is modest relative to the search
- Data gaps: No banlist token; legal copies is empty for all formats, so legality and copy limit are assumed at 3 Combo combo role is empty for all examples, so the card's combo role is unconfirmed Evidence does not list which Level 4 or lower Beast-Warrior targets are played No card-specific rulings in the evidence top-card data is not ranked (top-card status false) Guides mention the card only through co_card_ids, with no written role for this card
