Krebons — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 56 ± 7 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 56 · Deck: 55 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Negation/Interaction · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Krebons is a Level 2 DARK Psychic Tuner whose only effect is self-protection: when it is targeted for an attack, paying 800 LP negates that attack. The score is driven by its clean, cheap body as a Synchro material and by its breadth across 46 archetypes, not by its 1200 ATK. No combo evidence exists, so no board-building or conversion credit is given, and the 800 LP cost with no card return keeps resource economy low.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Present in 117 of the sampled decks across 46 archetypes, so it is reliably drawn and included, but no searcher or combo route is recorded (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | No recorded combo boards, and the text describes no summon, search or board-building effect, so conversion is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 25 | Costs 800 LP per activation and gives no card advantage, recursion or refuel in its text (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 40 | Negates only attacks that target itself, so it is situational, self-only defence rather than general interaction (verified). |
| Material Utility | 70 | Level 2 Tuner that remains a Tuner when its effect is negated, so it still converts as Synchro material (verified text, inferred use). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | The text has no once-per-turn clause and works in any battle phase where it is attacked, but it protects only itself and is not multi-zone (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Single-slot, no garnet or lock, and the deck sample averages 1.56 copies, so it is cheap to run (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Negation/Interaction + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 56, Deck ≈ 55, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Generic Level 2 Tuner that appears across 46 archetypes
- Negates an attack aimed at itself for 800 LP, so it protects itself in battle
- Single-slot card with no garnet or lock restriction
Weaknesses
- Protects only itself; it does not affect other monsters or the board
- Costs 800 LP each time it is used
- No combo evidence, so its power rests on text inference
Counters / choke points
- Attacks that do not target it, such as direct attacks or non-targeting effects, are unaffected by its effect
Best use
Level 2 Tuner body that can self-protect against attacks. Decks: Armed Dragon, P.U.N.K., Invoked, Dogmatika.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: when targeted for an attack, pay 800 LP to negate the attack; Type Tuner Monster, Level 2, DARK Psychic, ATK 1200 / DEF 400; Present in 117 decks across 46 archetypes, average 1.56 copies per deck
- Observed: Gameplay mix: 65% of decks in gameplay type 7, 21.4% in type 4, 13.7% in type 6; Frequent co-occurrence with Emergency Teleport (81.2%) and Black Rose Dragon (72.6%)
- Inferred: The effect is self-protection only, so its interaction value is narrow; The Tuner body still converts as Synchro material after its effect is negated
- 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
