Kewl Tune RS — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 59 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 56.6 · Deck: 61.2 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Removal / Negation · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Kewl Tune RS earns its score from reliable presence: it is in all 400 sampled decks, appears in all 8 recorded boards, and gives a once-per-turn quick negate plus a Level 5 Tuner body. Its 1700 ATK and the 300-ATK-per-Tuner boost earn nothing on their own. Its combo role is unlabelled and its average power index is 10.5, which holds down the conversion score.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Live in all 400 sampled decks and 8 of 8 recorded boards, but it is a Synchro that needs a Synchro summon and is never tagged as starter or searched (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | Present in all 8 recorded boards, yet combo role is empty, starter/payoff shares are 0%, and average power index is 10.5 (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | Its negate costs banishing a Tuner from the GY and the recorded examples show netCardAdvantage 0, so there is no card advantage (verified from text and observed). |
| Effect & Interaction | 55 | Quick-effect negate of one face-up card, usable in your own Main Phase and once per turn, with a GY-Tuner cost (verified). |
| Material Utility | 60 | A Level 5 DARK Fiend Tuner that works as Synchro material, but material role is 0% in the evidence (verified from text, inferred for use). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Once per turn, and its effects are lost if negated; the body remains a Tuner (verified from text, inferred for resilience). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 65 | Runs 1 to 2 copies (avg 1.67; typical 2 in Kewl Tune homes) with no garnet or lock restriction in the text (observed and verified). |
