Hiyari @Ignister — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 57 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 55 · Deck: 58 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Searcher/Tutor
Why it scores here
Hiyari @Ignister is a Level 1 body that is live from hand whenever an @Ignister monster is on the field, and its Tribute effect converts one Cyberse into a Level 5+ @Ignister search, which keeps the archetype engine fed. The score is driven by hand-summon accessibility, the one-for-one search, and clean deckbuilding. Its 300 ATK and 400 DEF earn nothing, and the 400-deck inclusion rate reflects its role as a staple of the @Ignister family, not extra power. No recorded boards exist, so the combo axis rests on text inference only.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 72 | Hand Special Summon requires controlling an @Ignister monster, and it appears in all 400 sampled decks, so it is usually live but conditional (verified text; observed deck count). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | Text shows a Tribute-to-search of a Level 5+ @Ignister and an A.I.'s Ritual add when a Link is tributed, but there are zero combo boards to confirm the conversion (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | Tributing another Cyberse for one Level 5+ @Ignister is roughly even, with the Link-tribute clause adding a spell search when conditions are met (verified text; inferred value). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card has no negation, removal or hand-trap effect, so it provides no opponent interaction (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 35 | A Level 1 WATER Cyberse is an awkward material, and it is useful mainly as Tribute fodder; its Level 4 change is only a temporary side-effect (verified text; inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Two once-per-turn effects in different zones give some redundancy, but a single on-field removal ends the line and it has no hand-trap reach (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 78 | A single copy in most decks, an unlimited copy limit assumed, and no garnet or lock restriction make it cheap to run (observed deck copies; data gap on banlist). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter / Combo enabler + 0.3 Searcher / Tutor. Intrinsic ≈ 55, Deck ≈ 58, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Hand-summonable from the opening hand whenever an @Ignister monster is on the field
- Tribute effect converts one Cyberse into a Level 5+ @Ignister search
- Present in all 400 sampled decks, so the role is real and practical
- Single-copy use with no garnet or lock restriction, so it is cheap to run
Weaknesses
- Its hand-summon depends on an @Ignister monster already being on the field
- Effect text is archetype-locked and does not travel to other homes
- No opponent interaction, negation or removal
- Level 1 body is a weak material and is only useful as Tribute fodder
Counters / choke points
- On-field removal or targeted negation, which stops both once-per-turn effects
- Interruptions to the Level 5+ @Ignister search route, which leaves the card as a 300 ATK body
Best use
Hand-summoned starter that searches a Level 5+ @Ignister and feeds the engine. Decks: @Ignister (archetype 736 and 153 lines), Firewall and Code Talker lists using @Ignister support. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Hand Special Summon requires controlling an @Ignister monster; Tribute 1 other Cyberse to add a Level 5+ @Ignister from Deck and become Level 4 until end of turn; Link Tribute adds one A.I.'s Ritual from Deck; Each effect is once per turn
- Observed: Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks, with 1 copy in 391; Main-deck usage across 13 distinct archetypes, led by @Ignister (33%) and Firewall (25.5%); Inclusion of 100% in its listed @Ignister usage statistic at 1 typical copy
- Inferred: Hand-summon is a practical opener in @Ignister lines; The search route is the card's main conversion path, though no board confirms it; Resource economy is roughly even
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token, so 3 copies (unlimited) is assumed
