Why it scores here
Mist Bird Clausolas is a reliable once-per-turn negation piece in Synchro-heavy decks, appearing across 36 archetypes with confirmed presence in Tech Genus, Speedroid, and Junk. Its effect—reducing one opponent monster's ATK to zero and negating its effects until end of turn—provides solid interaction comparable to Infinite Impermanence (40.8% co-deck) and complements staple hand-trap strategies. However, the negation is temporary, single-target, and generates no card advantage or board presence, limiting it to a utility role. No combo evidence (0 combos supplied) means its practical conversion value is text-only inference, and its reliance on Synchro summoning infrastructure caps broader impact.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 65 | Level 3 Synchro requiring 1 Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner, summoned reliably in 36 archetypes across 400 decks with high inclusion in natural Synchro homes (Tech Genus 26.2%, Speedroid 15.8%, Junk 14.5%). (verified) |
| Combo & Conversion | 48 | Once-per-turn single-target negation with no board extension, advantage generation, or combo output; no combos supplied for corroboration. (inferred) |
| Resource Economy | 42 | Synchro summon cost upfront provides one disruption per turn with no refuel or recursion, roughly matching hand-trap parity. (inferred) |
| Effect & Interaction | 72 | Reduces ATK to zero and negates effects of one opponent monster until end of turn, offering flexible once-per-turn disruption in line with Infinite Impermanence and Baronne de Fleur (top co-deck partners). (verified) |
| Material Utility | 55 | Level 3 Synchro, WIND/Winged Beast, 0 ATK/2300 DEF; defensible body and modular level convert even when negated, though not premium material. (verified) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 52 | No recovery or recursion; vulnerable to removal after effect use; limited to one activation per turn with only DEF-based protection. (inferred) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Cleanly included as 1-of in 393/400 sampled decks with no garnet or locking issues; Synchro requirement limits splash but not problematic in intended homes. (observed) |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Negation/Interaction + 0.3 Board breaker. Intrinsic ≈ 63, Deck ≈ 62, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Reliable once-per-turn negation confirmed across 36 archetypes and 400 decks
- Flexible disruption complementing hand-trap strategies (Ash 41%, Infinite Impermanence 40.8% co-decks)
- Clean 1-of inclusion with zero garnet or bricking concerns
- 2300 DEF provides defensive utility alongside interaction effect
Weaknesses
- Temporary negation (until end of turn) rather than permanent lock
- Single-target limitation ineffective against wide boards
- No card advantage, board extension, or resource generation
- 0 ATK provides no offensive pressure or material value
- Requires Synchro setup; limits splash-ability outside dedicated Synchro archetypes
Counters / choke points
- Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (negates Synchro summon; 41% co-deck)
- Effect Veiler (negates this card's negation effect; 39.5% co-deck)
- Spell/Trap removal (cannot negate non-monster effects)
- Wide boards with multiple threats (single-target insufficient)
Best use
Once-per-turn single-target negation and ATK suppression. Decks: Tech Genus, Speedroid, Junk, Nekroz, dedicated Synchro archetypes. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Synchro summon requirement: 1 Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner monsters; Once-per-turn effect: target 1 face-up opponent monster, reduce ATK to 0, negate effects until EOT; Appears in 400 decks across 36 archetypes (broad accessibility confirmed); Predominantly 1-of main deck (393/400 decks)
- Observed: 26.2% Tech Genus inclusion, 15.8% Speedroid, 14.5% Junk (archetype concentration); Top co-deck partners are staple hand traps (Herald 69%, Ash 41%, Infinite Impermanence 40.8%); No combo appearances (0 combos supplied) suggests standalone utility role
- Inferred: Single-target negation with no board extension or advantage (text inference, no combos); Generic utility ~68 based on 36 archetype diversity and Synchro-dependent accessibility; Resilience limited by lack of protection, recovery, or recursion mechanics; Material utility is defensible but not premium for a Level 3 body
- Data gaps: No combos supplied (0 appearances) — combo conversion is pure text inference, cannot confirm role as starter/searcher/material/payoff No banlist status provided — assumed 3-copy unlimited (Limited/Forbidden status would reduce score 2–10 per modifier rubric) No StatisticsCard data — archetype inclusion % derived from 400-deck sample only, not larger historical sample No metagame context — meta power remains null; Final score relies on Intrinsic + Deck layers only No ruling precedents — assuming standard Synchro/targeting/negation mechanics
