Grasschopper — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 46 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 45 · Deck: 47 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Board breaker · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Grasschopper's power comes from one battle-phase effect: once it is Normal Summoned, it can attack every monster the opponent controls once each. Its 2350 ATK and Level 5 body earn no points on their own. The score is held down by the absence of combo evidence, the absence of any card advantage or interaction, and a single-body effect that is only active after a Normal Summon, while its clean single-copy deck cost and Normal-monster material role keep it from scoring lower.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Normal Summonable at Level 5 with no searcher or garnet cost, and it appears in 6 of 6 sampled decks, but no combo or searcher route was observed (text plus observed deck presence). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | The effect converts a single body into battle-phase multi-attack pressure, but no combo boards were supplied to confirm a fuller board (inference from text). |
| Resource Economy | 20 | No draw, search, or recursion in the text; treating it as a Normal monster in the Graveyard creates no advantage by itself (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | The effect is offensive board pressure and provides no negation, removal, or hand-trap reach (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 55 | A Level 5 EARTH Insect that the text treats as a Normal monster when face-up or in the Graveyard, which may serve as generic material; no material-usage stats were supplied (inference from text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | The attack-all effect only works while it is face-up on the field after a Normal Summon, so any negation of the effect or a removal ends it (inference from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Single copy in every sampled deck, with no garnet or self-lock noted in the text and three distinct archetypes running it (observed from decks, verified from text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Board breaker + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 45, Deck ≈ 47, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Clean battle-phase effect: can attack every opposing monster once each
- Single-copy, no-garnet deck cost
- Runs across three distinct archetypes (Goblin Biker, Chemicritter, Argostars)
- Level 5 EARTH Insect body usable as a generic Normal-type material
Weaknesses
- Effect requires a Normal Summon and face-up presence on the field
- No card advantage, search, or recursion
- No opponent interaction
- No combo evidence supplied to confirm a fuller board
Counters / choke points
- Negating its effect removes the multi-attack, leaving a plain 2350-ATK body (inference from text)
- Removal or bounce on the face-up body (inference from text)
Best use
Battle-phase board breaker with a Normal-monster material body. Decks: Goblin Biker, Chemicritter, Argostars. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: Gemini Monster, Level 5 EARTH Insect, Normal-monster treatment on field and in GY, Normal Summon grants an attack-all-monsters-once effect; 6 of 6 sampled decks run exactly 1 copy in the main deck across 3 archetypes
- Observed: Partners such as Poly-Chemicritter Dioxogre and Geminize Lord Golknight co-occur in 6 of 6 decks, which fits a shared core rather than proof of synergy; Not a top card in any format
- Inferred: Board-breaker role comes from the text's attack-all effect, since no combo boards were supplied; Material value comes from the Normal-monster treatment and Level 5 EARTH Insect body
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token and legal copies is empty, so 3 copies (unlimited) is assumed no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion is inferred from the 6-deck sample only top partners are 100% co-occurrence in a 6-deck sample, so synergy is weakly supported
