You can only use this effect of "Greed Jar" once per turn.
Greed Jar — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 56 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 57 · Deck: 55 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor
Why it scores here
Greed Jar's value is a single flip-effect search whose size is capped by the opponent's field count, so its power depends on board state rather than stats. It also mills the unsearched excavated cards to the GY and can send Extra Deck monsters to the GY, giving modest GY fuel. Its 700 ATK, Level 3 body and 19-deck presence do not drive the score: the flip requirement, the field-count scaling and the absence of combo evidence keep it a mid-tier searcher.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Needs to be set face-down and then flipped, so it is not live in the opening hand, but 19 of 19 sampled decks run it across 8 archetypes with 1-3 copies (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | Text converts one card into one search plus excavation and GY sends; no recorded board evidence exists, so the conversion is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | Net +1 card from the search, plus GY fuel from milling the rest and optionally sending Extra Deck monsters (verified text, decks observed). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No negation, removal or hand-trap reach in the text (verified). |
| Material Utility | 35 | Plain Level 3 EARTH Rock with no tuner or special material role in the evidence; generic at best (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Once-per-turn flip effect that is vulnerable to any face-down or activation interruption and has no multi-zone reach (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Single main-deck slot with no garnet, lock or self-restriction; copies flex from 1 to 3 (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Searcher/Tutor primary, no secondary blend. Intrinsic ≈ 57, Deck ≈ 55, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Reliable single search with no garnet or self-lock cost
- Generic enough to slot into 8 archetypes (19 decks observed)
- Mills excess excavated cards to the GY for fuel
Weaknesses
- Search size is capped by the opponent's field count, so it is weak on an empty opposing board
- Requires a face-down set and flip, which is slow compared with live searchers
- No interaction value and no combo evidence to show it converts into a full board
Counters / choke points
- Hand traps or quick effects that negate the flip activation (interaction not measured in the evidence)
- Opponent board wipes that remove the opposing field count the effect scales from
Best use
Searcher/Tutor with GY-fuel side effect. Decks: Prediction Princess, Laval, Lunalight.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Flip effect: excavate up to the opponent's field count, add 1 to hand, send the rest to GY; Extra Deck to GY send is capped by the opponent's Extra Deck special summons; Once per turn restriction; 19 of 19 sampled decks run it in the main deck, average 1.68 copies
- Observed: Elder Entity N'tss co-appears in 13 of 19 decks (68.4%); Gameplay type 7 accounts for 16 of 19 decks (84.2%)
- Inferred: Flip requirement makes it slower than a live searcher; Conversion into a full board is plausible but untested without combo evidence
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only legal copies is empty for both TCG and OCG opponent field-count and Extra Deck special-summon frequency not evidenced, so the scaling is untested
