Why it scores here
The card is a Normal Trap whose only verified effect is to banish one of your own face-up monsters until the End Phase, so it converts a board state into protection or a temporary tempo swing rather than into board, cards, or interaction. Its 49 comes from being live in 37 recent decks across 12 archetypes at about 1.5 copies each, with cheap deckbuilding and no garnet cost, which earns the deck-level score. High ATK or popularity earned nothing, and the view count was ignored. The lack of recorded combo appearances keeps the score in the middle band and caps confidence at Medium.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 50 | Set as a Normal Trap and live in 37 decks across 12 archetypes, but the attached evidence has no starter or searched appearances to confirm reliable access (observed for deck presence; inferred for the set-then-activate timing). |
| Combo & Conversion | 15 | Its text does not build anything by itself and no recorded combo boards include it, so conversion rests on text alone (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 35 | No card draw, search, or GY refuel; it costs no card but returns nothing, so the economy is roughly even (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 40 | Targets only your own monster, so it protects that monster from a targeted effect or removal but does not negate or remove anything from the opponent (inferred from text). |
| Material Utility | 25 | Its effect banishes the monster it targets, so the body does not persist as material and gains nothing from being blanked (verified from text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 30 | It is a trap that can be removed by backrow interaction and needs a monster on your field to matter, leaving little redundancy (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | Typical use is 1 copy with no garnet or lock cost, and it is splashable across multiple archetypes (observed from deck evidence, avg 1.49 copies). |

Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: target 1 face-up monster you control and banish it until the End Phase; Listed in TCG, OCG, MasterDuel and DuelLinks formats; Runs in 37 of the attached decks at avg 1.49 copies
- Observed: Appears in 12 distinct archetypes across 4 gameplay types; Top partners include Polymerization (46%) and Mirror Force (43%); No combo boards in the evidence contain this card
- Inferred: Acts as protection against targeted effects by responding to them; Set-then-activate timing costs a turn of setup; Vulnerable to backrow removal before it resolves
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token, so 3 copies assumed no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion is inferred from the deck sample only the only guide mention is a Solo Mode reward listing, not a strategy discussion of the card no official rulings supplied
