Libromancer Geek Boy — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 61 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 60 · Deck: 62 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Searcher/Tutor
Why it scores here
Libromancer Geek Boy converts a Ritual monster in hand into a hand Special Summon, and that summon also adds a Libromancer Spell from the Deck, so one card gives a body plus a search. Its real value is as a reliable starter inside the Libromancer engine, where it is run in 400 of 400 sampled decks at about 2.4 copies. High ATK is irrelevant here; the 800 ATK and Level 3 body earn little on their own. Its score is capped by the lack of combo data, the absence of interaction, and the restriction to Libromancer-specific search targets.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 72 | Hand Special Summon needs a Ritual monster revealed from hand, and the deck-level evidence shows 400/400 decks run it at about 2.4 copies, so access is consistent but not guaranteed on every opener (observed plus inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 62 | The on-summon search adds a Libromancer Spell, and top partners such as Libromancer Fire and Libromancer First Appearance co-occur in 99.5% of decks, but no recorded combo boards exist to confirm the conversion (inferred from text, observed for partners). |
| Resource Economy | 65 | A free hand summon that also searches a card is net card-positive with no graveyard cost, and it has no refuel loop beyond that (verified from card text, inferred for net advantage). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card has no negation, removal, or hand-trap effect of its own (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 40 | Level 3 WIND Psychic body with 800 ATK is a generic material, but no material or tuner data was supplied and nothing in the evidence shows it being used as material (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Its summon is a single hand-based effect with once-per-turn limits, and the guides note that avoiding Normal Summons dodges common interruption such as Floowandereeze (observed in guide text, inferred for resilience). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | It runs as a 2 to 3 copy staple inside a single archetype and occupies a few slots, with no garnet or lock effect (observed from copies distribution, inferred for slot cost). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter / Combo enabler + 0.3 Searcher / Tutor. Intrinsic ≈ 60, Deck ≈ 62, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Live in 400 of 400 sampled decks at about 2.4 copies, so access is consistent
- Summon-and-search gives a body plus a Libromancer Spell in one card
- Tight synergy with its top partners (99.5% co-occurrence with Libromancer Fire and First Appearance)
Weaknesses
- No combo boards recorded, so conversion power is inferred from text only
- Search is restricted to Libromancer Spells, which limits use outside that engine
- No interaction, and the summon depends on a Ritual monster being revealed from hand
Counters / choke points
- Hand traps that negate or respond to a hand Special Summon (inferred from text)
- Normal Summon-based interruption is not needed by the deck, so Floowandereeze-style answers mainly hit other lines (observed from guide text)
Best use
Starter, with a Libromancer Spell search on summon. Decks: Libromancer (archetype 855 and related Libromancer lists), Libromancer-based Ritual decks. Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: hand Special Summon by revealing a Ritual monster; on summon, add a Libromancer Spell from Deck; once-per-turn per effect; Run in 400 of 400 sampled decks, 2.38 average copies; Top partner co-occurrence: Libromancer Fire 99.5%, Libromancer First Appearance 99.5%
- Observed: About 58.5% of sampled decks are in the Libromancer archetype family (234 of 400); Usage statistics show 100% inclusion in five archetypes with typical copies of 1 to 3; Guides describe the card as the engine's repeatable hand summon
- Inferred: Accessibility depends on a Ritual monster being in hand; Search targets are restricted to Libromancer Spells, limiting use outside the engine; Resilience to hand traps and negation is limited by a single hand-based summon
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no material or tuner usage data for the body no top-card ranking data (is_top_card false)
