You can only use each effect of "Krawler Ranvier" once per turn.
Krawler Ranvier — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 64 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 62 · Deck: 65 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Krawler Ranvier's power comes from two value steps: its FLIP effect returns up to 2 Krawler monsters from the GY to hand, and if it leaves the field to an opponent's card effect it Special Summons 2 differently named Krawler monsters from the Deck in face-down Defense Position. Those two steps turn a Level 2 body into roughly two cards of recovery plus two bodies after removal, which is why resource_economy and resilience score high. It has no interaction, and its low ATK/DEF earns nothing; the score rests on the effect conversion alone. No combo evidence was supplied, so the combo and synergy numbers are inferred from its 106-deck presence and partner co-occurrence rather than observed boards.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Level 2 normal-summonable body with no searcher, but the FLIP recovery needs it set and flipped and needs Krawler monsters in the GY; it is in 106 of 106 sampled decks at 1.31 copies average (observed, inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 60 | Its GY recovery plus leave-field double summon can reach a fair board from one card, but no combo data was supplied, so the conversion is text-only inference. |
| Resource Economy | 75 | Two-card GY recovery on FLIP and a two-body summon on leaving the field give repeated advantage when the timing lines up (verified text, inferred magnitude). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | The card has no negation, removal, or hand trap; its effects only add cards to hand or the field (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 60 | A Level 2 Earth Insect is a usable generic material and keeps its body if blanked, though it is not a clean Tuner or Attribute fit (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 65 | The leave-field trigger converts opponent card-effect removal into value, but non-effect destruction does not trigger it and each effect is once per turn (verified text, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | One copy in most decks, 1.31 copies average with a 3-copy maximum, and no garnet or lock restriction in the text (observed, verified). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 62, Deck ≈ 65, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Two-card GY recovery on FLIP that refills hand from the Krawler GY
- Leave-field trigger turns opponent card-effect removal into two new bodies
- Level 2 body with no garnet cost and 1-copy deck slot use
- Present in 100% of the sampled decks, across 26 archetypes
Weaknesses
- Zero effect-based interaction; it cannot negate or remove anything
- Its value depends on being set, flipped, or removed by an opponent card effect; plain destruction or no interaction gives nothing
- Both effects are once per turn and the GY recovery needs Krawler monsters in the GY
- Low ATK/DEF, so it is a support body rather than a threat on its own
Counters / choke points
- Opponent effects that negate it face-up before it leaves the field (inferred from the trigger condition)
- Non-effect removal or destruction, which does not trigger the leave-field summon (verified text)
Best use
Extender: a flip recovery body that converts opponent card-effect removal into two Krawler summons. Decks: Krawler, Powered Crawler, Beetrooper, Battlewasp, World Legacy. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: FLIP effect: add up to 2 Krawler monsters from the GY to hand; Leave-field effect: Special Summon 2 differently named Krawler monsters from the Deck in face-down Defense Position when it leaves due to an opponent's card effect; Each effect is once per turn; Level 2 Earth Insect with 1100 ATK / 900 DEF
- Observed: Present in 106 of 106 sampled decks, 1.31 copies average, 3 copies maximum; Top partners Krawler Soma (92.5%) and Krawler Spine (84%) co-occur in most decks; Spread across 26 archetypes and 3 gameplay types
- Inferred: Flip recovery plus leave-field double summon gives roughly two cards of recovery and two bodies when it resolves; Usable as a generic Level 2 material; Negation before leave-field is the main counter
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only
