Meotoko

Meotoko — Power Evaluation

Final Score: 28 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium

• Intrinsic: 30 · Deck: 26 · Meta: provisional
• Primary role: Material body

Why it scores here

Meotoko is a Level-2 Normal Monster with no mechanical effect, serving only as a passive filler body in extremely old-school deck lists from 2023. The card appears in zero recorded combos and offers no archetype support, archetype tag, or synergistic value beyond being a generic material. Its 700 ATK provides no meaningful combat presence, and as a Natural Draw-only access card at 2 copies per deck, it is unreliable and inefficient compared to modern alternatives. In essence, it is an outdated casual filler card with minimal practical utility in any competitive or modern casual setting.

Axis scores

Calculation

Weight profile: Primary role: Material body / Normal. Intrinsic ≈ 30, Deck ≈ 26, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck

Strengths

• Generic Level-2 body for fusion, xyz, and link material
• No effect text eliminates risk of self-lock or timing violations
• Splashable into any deck needing a filler monster slot without deck restrictions

Weaknesses

• Zero mechanical effect—no combo potential or deck synergy
• 700 ATK is below usable threshold for combat value
• Unreliable access as a 2-of filler in natural draw
• No recovery or graveyard utility after removal
• No archetype membership or modern support base
• Appears only in old-school 2023 casual deck lists with no modern viability

Best use

Filler monster body. Decks: Book Of (old-school casual only), Dark Magician (casual/vintage builds only).

Evidence & gaps

• Verified: Meotoko is a Level-2 Normal Monster EARTH Beast with 700 ATK / 600 DEF (card metadata); It has no effect text—the description is flavor only (card.description is non-mechanical); It appears in 6 decks, all running exactly 2 copies in main deck (deck data.copies per deck.distribution); It appears in zero recorded combos (combo data.total combos = 0); It has no archetype tag (card.archetype = null)
• Observed: All 6 decks are gameplay type 6 and span three archetypes: Book Of (2), Dark Magician (2), Hole (2) (deck data.archetypes); Meotoko co-appears with Dark Magician, Hitotsu-Me Giant, Mammoth Graveyard, and other weak classic monsters at 100% co-deck rate (deck data.top partners); Average copies per deck: 2.0, with all 6 decks running exactly 2 copies, indicating consistent filler inclusion (deck data.copies per deck.avg)
• Inferred: As a Normal Monster with no effect, its only mechanical role is to serve as fusion/synchro/link material or filler summon (text analysis); The tiny 6-deck sample from August 2023 and archetype composition (Book Of, Hole, pre-modern Dark Magician) indicate these are old-school casual lists with no competitive viability (era and composition inference); Level-2 EARTH Beast is generic material but not optimized for any modern archetype or strategy (typing inference); 700 ATK is too weak for combat value and provides no synergy payoff if drawn multiple times (stat inference)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied—combo conversion is text-only inference; zero recorded appearances means zero practical board impact No guides supplied—no human context on intended role or archetype synergy No usage statistics (StatisticsCard available = false)—archetype inclusion percentages and competitive inclusion rates are inferred from a tiny 6-deck sample only All 6 sample decks are dated 2023-08 (over 2 years old), making the sample temporally stale and unrepresentative of modern play patterns No banlist token supplied (assumed unlimited), though irrelevant since the card is uncompetitive regardless of ban status
