Why it scores here
Inaba White Rabbit is a Level 3 Earth Beast with 700 ATK whose only real function is a Normal Summon that returns to hand at the End Phase, plus direct attacks. Its value is as a clean Level 3 material body and a small direct-attack finisher, not as a board presence or engine. The 700 ATK and the Spirit frame earn nothing on their own; the score is held down by the absence of any effect, the lack of combo evidence, and the fact that the card cannot be Special Summoned and leaves the field every turn.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Normal Summonable from hand in 12 decks across 12 archetypes, but no searcher or combo starter evidence exists, so routes are unverified (observed: 12 decks; inferred for routes). |
| Combo & Conversion | 20 | No combos are recorded and the text converts to a single 700-damage direct attack at most (verified: text; no combo examples). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | No card advantage or refuel; it returns to hand, which preserves the card rather than generating value (verified: text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card has no negation, removal, or disruption effect (verified: text). |
| Material Utility | 55 | A Level 3 Beast Earth body is a clean generic material for Level 3 Xyz/Synchro lines, and it can be used in the same turn as it is summoned because it returns only at End Phase (inferred from text; no material stats supplied). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | Returning to hand dodges sweepers, but a single response to the Normal Summon ends the turn's use, and it cannot be Special Summoned back (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Runs 1 to 3 copies with no garnet, lock, or self-restriction; the slot cost is low (observed: copies distribution 9x1, 3x3). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Material body / Normal + 0.3 Utility. Intrinsic ≈ 49, Deck ≈ 46, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Clean Level 3 Earth Beast body that works as generic material
- Can be Normal Summoned and used as material in the same turn because it returns only at End Phase
- Returns to hand, so it is not lost to field-based removal
- Low deckbuilding cost: no garnet, lock, or restriction
Weaknesses
- No effect of its own, so it has no interaction or card advantage
- Cannot be Special Summoned, which limits its routes
- Leaves the field every turn, so it provides little board presence
- No combo evidence recorded, so conversion is text-only inference
- Its direct-attack value is 700 damage at most
Counters / choke points
- Responses to the Normal Summon that negate or stop it
- Blockers on the field during the direct-attack turn
Best use
Material body / Normal-summon finisher. Decks: Mystical Beast of the Forest, Gaia, Yubel. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 3 Earth Beast, 700 ATK / 500 DEF, Spirit Monster (card text); Cannot be Special Summoned; returns to hand at the End Phase of the turn it is Normal Summoned or flipped; attacks directly (card text); Appears in 12 decks, all main deck (decks_evidence); Mystical Space Typhoon co-occurs in 8 of 12 decks (co-occurrence only, not causal)
- Observed: Average 1.5 copies per deck, distribution 9 decks at 1 copy and 3 at 3 copies; Spread across 12 distinct archetypes and 2 gameplay types (66.7% type 7, 33.3% type 4)
- Inferred: Clean generic Level 3 material for Level 3 Xyz/Synchro lines; Usable as material in the same turn it is Normal Summoned, because the return happens at End Phase; Direct attack of 700 is its only damage route
- 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 the deck sample only no material or searcher stats; material and accessibility scores are inferred from text no rulings on Normal Summon timing against the End Phase return
